My personal take is this used to happen to me all the time because I am actually actively listening to the entire content of what the other person is saying, then trying to formulate the next thing to say based on that. Do that and you’ll constantly miss your turn at conversation. Just vibe with whatever is being said and then respond to just the last sentence or last few words you heard right before the person stopped talking. Neurotypical people pretty rarely hear/remember much of exactly what someone else had said, they “feel” it internally as the words come at them, pick up a keyword or two from the last few words spoken, and carry on from there. Start doing that and you’ll respond in time with their pace.

OMAD or IF works really well for a lot of people. What you eat and when you eat are critical, not just how many calories are going in and out. CICO is far from the whole story when it comes to metabolism and your endocrine system.

I don’t like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.

Where I live I see mom and dad getting pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 on the way to drop Little Timmy off at preschool, so different everywhere I guess. I wish cops would focus on catching people who’ve committed major crimes rather than being citation money printing presses.

Wait Dad, you just gonna leave us hanging without a link?? 🤣

In highschool we used to just repeat large portions of the script of Grail to each other in place of actual human conversation. I can still trot out the whole “Old woman!” scene by memory when the moment calls for it.

Or “like my dear Pa-Par” in some versions 🤣

Everyone trying to look serious or intellectual and Cleese just grinning like an idiot in the background love it

it turns out you can effectively recycle plastic! And re-cycle it, and re-cycle it, pretty much forever if you get get into the Ocean, fish, and humans, it can cycle over and over again for as long as you like!

You, sir, are obviously not thinking of the children /s

Wow, just popped it onto my very slow desktop and this little model rips haha. I really think tiny LLMs with a good LoRA on top are going to be a huge deal going forward

That’s so crazy that an LLM capable of doing anything at all can be that small! That’s leaves room for like an entire .avi episode of family guy at dvd resolution on there, which is the natural choice for the remaining space of course

Could you crunch an LLM into 700Mb that was still functional? Cause this looks like a fun thing to actually do as a joke.

Edit, I bet I could get https://huggingface.co/distilbert/distilgpt2 to run off a CD. How many tps am I gonna get guys 🤣

You can achieve privacy by not doing things online. People used to understand that if you wanted something to remain private, you literally kept it to yourself, idk what happened. Hence my radical proposal: If you have things you wish to remain private, don’t transmit those things into the largest public and most surveilled space that has ever existed, the Internet. We used to say to each other: “Don’t put anything online or type anything into a browser that you wouldn’t want to see on the frontpage of your hometown paper with your name on it.” You can’t walk into the public town square of the whole world, let your private details out, and then get miffed about muh privacy because you spoke into a place that was being listened to by corporations, it just doesn’t work that way.

Considering the average salary of a neurosurgeon in the US is $565,882 to $988,473, and he did that for 10 years, I’d say it’s safer to say that trading your life really quickly for lots and lots of money and then fucking off to the mountains with a couple mil in the bank beats “good and respectable” any day.

I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It’s hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers, compared to the nascent fediverse. Not that we don’t have those things here too, I think Lemmy just hasn’t had a high enough profile, yet, to warrant much attention from the same bad actors who run vast portions of reddit, X, and facebook. Here’s hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.

Second fun fact, they flatly refused to acknowledge the dresses entirely when asked over and over about them, just saying what a lovely night and event it was and all the stars are out etc. 🤣

This is a long way of telling someone you have BPD.

An actual picture, no, he preceeded Nicéphore Niépce by some years.
