Riichi City the app is better than Mahjong Soul, but the matching/rating system sucks. It's also like, straight up softcore porn with the avatars. Which is fine I guess, but I feel gross playing it in public, which is annoying. Ma

Riichi mahjong has a very common three player variant that is quite good.

The Earth isn't the center of the galaxy, so this feels confusing/confused: > So, as a general rule, the farther out astronomers look, the younger the stars are.

Not really. Qwen 3.5 and Gemma and a couple of others are quite good though, and the quants are _very_ runnable on a good gpu.

For me, it's not even cost necessarily. If they decide to change the product they offer, the old one is gone. I refuse to use anything for personal use that's not at least _available_ as model weights.

Dead people don't buy much rice, invaded people don't grow much rice. What you're describing is a recipe for a few people to get rich while everybody else starves and dies in wars.

I did not suggest that you could just turn on bankruptcy with no rules. > [...] essentially would get a free education. How horrible, imagine the world.

by kadoban 6mo ago
The US could do that for a while, a few months maybe. They'd get bored and overextended. The logistics are terrible. There's no way that would even be financially positive, even if you ignored how much good will from other countri

It's just different shapes of toilets. There's a part without water directly under you, and then when you flush it's flooded.

Yeah it is apparently some kind of marketing strategy I guess. Tbh I can't imagine they're getting enough out of it for it to make sense for them. Personally, I'm not looking the gift horse in the mouth too closely, I'm

The difference is you _can't_ do that for student loans. There is no option to get rid of them via bankruptcy. So, this happens instead.

I just have a 3090 and 64gb ram. Yes this is more than most people have, but calling it a "publicity stunt" is just so uncharitably weird of a characterization. There's smaller models all the way down too. Like this should be

I'm running qwen 3.5 397b on very standard hardware. Just use the unsloth quants, they're great. I get like 20t/s or something. It's super not a publicity stunt, qwen 3.5 is the base of the best local models out there IM

It is quite difficult to validate if you only consider the most direct of means like smashing two stars together and then physically going out and picking up the pieces. There are other means to validate that type of thing though. Trying to

I'm sure they sold this ad space at a premium and someone over there thought it was a brilliant idea. How else would it have happened?

Yeah, that's part of why nobody wants to use Sourceforge.

There's better things to dump instead of Apollo if you want a basically functioning society. Pick your couple of least favorite wars of choice in America's recent history. Apollo at least gave the country hope and showed that we c

Git doesn't do that. People needlessly destroying history do that. Git will happily let you merge branches and preserve the history there. GP seems to like that history being in PRs only on github instead. I don't get why, that ju

I wasn't even aware they ever _really_ released the B60. When I got bored of paying attention it was ~months after "release" and they just didn't exist to buy. I do technically see them on ebay, so yeah apparently they&#

The last go around they looked good on paper and then Intel just didn't make any of them to sell. Announce all you want, if you don't ever ship anything I could buy, who gives a shit.

Technically accurate. A union that isn't allowed to legally strike when needed isn't a useful union though. The state that ATC has been in for the decades after that suggests to me that they were correct to strike.
