Cactus Chat is probably the easiest. Just download the app and it has a few built-in model options. The best of those is probably Gemma-3 1B Q4 but on my Pixel 10 Pro I find the best performing model it can reasonably run is Qwen3 8B Q4_K_M

You're still hearing politicians talk about climate change? This could be an American bubble but I haven't heard talk of climate change from US politicians, or the other global leaders that filter through our news cycle, since 202

Barry Lydon is probably the finest example of this. Every frame of that movie is an oil painting that could live on a museum wall. Absolutely astounding effort by the crew that made it.

Not that far away, you can run a useful model on flagship phones today, something around GPT 3.5's level. So we're probably only a few years out from today's SOTA models on our phones.

I only have "Your Order" notifications allowed for Uber Eats which will only send notifications about my specific order and I think reminding me to tip if I didn't already? That seems to be a subcategory at least. Anecdotally

I'm kinda surprised to hear people having this problem on Android. I've found Android's notification management to be superb and, as others have said, with a one strike rule, this has been a non-issue for me. > I live in a

I was really hoping, and with a different administration I think there was a real shot, for a huge influx of cash into clean energy infrastructure. Imagine a trillion dollars (frankly it might be more, we'll see) shoved into clean ener

I'm also always curious to know what happens if you remove wealthy boomers from this pool. I forget the exact numbers, but let's say ten billionaires own 50% of all the wealth in the US; how many of those folks are boomers? That&#

You're agreeing with me, or rather I agree with you. I consider Desert Storm an unqualified victory in an engagement that is in the same conversation as a Vietnam or Korean war, but still not quite to a WW level in scope or complexity.

by cco 11mo ago
Those might be the only ones? Desert Storm being the one that I'd probably call out, Just Cause was just so small. One minor win, every major operation being a loss doesn't change the conclusion though imo. I think it's also

Typically you incorporate union representatives onto boards of companies, make the members shareholders etc. You tie incentive structures together. Even so, I'm a reject your framing to a certain degree. Employees, and by extension lab

> The founders were right that nobody can be trusted to neutrally enforce “the law.” Well my point is two-fold. First, what you say here is my point, all branches need an _enforcement_ arm. Today Congress has the Sergeant at Arms and cou

by cco 1y ago
Turns out that separation of powers was incorrect. Each branch needs its own enforcement arm and our plan of having the Executive carry out the law instead of just enforcing the law was a bad idea.

haha great proof that humans don't follow the law all the time just like Waymo. Yes, if you see a school bus with its flashers on, you may not pass it. Period.

by cco 1y ago
Yeah you'd have to pull in a lot of case law and perform a lot of fine tuning on expert tax advice (you'd probably have to create this training data). Would be neat (and still legally fraught!).

Oh definitely not trying to make a point, I'm really just curious about how it is working out in case it is something I should update in my recommendations to customers. Seems like y'all are doing well with it!

I'm kinda struggling to understand how this relates to our makeup today. I can't find the thread. What cultural group today is Jamestown and which is Plymouth?

As someone that works in the auth space (Stytch), this is the first time I've _ever_ seen someone's landing page be a login screen. I have to ask, how's that going? Genuinely curious to know!

Wow! 3x is huge. I've had great experiences with gpt-oss20b on my laptop, a genuinely useful local model. 3x probably doesn't get my Pixel Pro 9 to being able to run 20b models, but its getting close!

Apple is very well positioned since they also sell you a super computer in your pocket. One of my biggest annoyances is the OS on the Ray Ban Metas. If they just served as dumb I/O they'd be an incredible product and everything el
