Lol, have you seen the state of rocm in the LLM space? It’s a dumpster fire. As much as everybody hates nvidia’s profiteering and blackbox drivers, at least cuda works.

I’ve zero interest, but I was forced by my wife to bust out the digital antenna and make it happen. She’s only watching for taylor swift and the commercials though.

I use audiobookbay. I don’t trust them enough to “sign up”, so I just snag the hash from the description and edit it into a magnet link.

Digital antenna. OTA is still free.

I’ve never seen an invite pop up for materialize anywhere. I’d gladly trade for one, but I guess it’s fucking unobtanium. I’ve not found any other sources either, and I’ve looked.

This is the answer. There are free indexes out there like https://binsearch.info but thanks to automated DMCA takedown bots, there’s very little on “open” usenet that stays up for long. You need to get on a private index and, unfortunately, pay for a subscription to get any kind of reliability.

Because it’s much less likely for men to get a UTI in the first place, it’s much more likely that if they have one, that it’s not a simple “throw some bactrim at it and it will go away” situation. With a male UTI, there’s a higher chance that the UTI is in fact a symptom of a more serious issue, rather than the issue itself. And determining that requires diagnostics that are beyond the scope of what can be done at a minute clinic.

The first 20 years should be free. I think that’s a reasonable timeframe for an author to make a reasonable amount of money from a work - or at least to determine if it’s worth extending the copyright.

After the initial 20 year period, it should need to be renewed every decade, on an increasingly steep scale. Let’s face it - some works can go on making money for a very long time. I think the creators deserve to continue making money off their works if they can, but only if it’s really worth it to them, and they’re pretty sure that the work will continue to be increasingly profitable. I suggest that the fees to extend the copyright be based on the profits from the work, and should increase with each extension, up to say 80% of the previous decade’s profits at 60 years. That way, virtually everything would fall out of copyright by that point, unless the holder was very sure it was going to be incredibly profitable going forward.

Lol, because that’s how Russian warlords operate. “No, it’s cool, I’ll just chill here and not invade anybody”.

Prigozhin is as bad (if not worse) than Putin. The rest of the world would be no safer with him running Russia. Best-case scenario is that this bullshit destabilizes the country to the point that Putin is deposed, somebody rational takes the lead, and they agree to cease all operations in Ukraine in exchange for western assistance putting down the Wagner rebellion. It’ll take all of a week to stomp out Wagner, if Russia allows the rest of the world to do it.

After some fiddling, I was finally able to get this model to load. Protip: you need to add “–forceversion 500” to the command line args.

However, it went OOM when trying to process an 8k prompt. 32GB RAM is just barely not enough. Waiting on more RAM to test it properly.
