Are these so-called experts supposed to have me believe that gambling apps designed to get people addicted to their gambling app might be a gateway to gambling addiction?

20+ years behind

I don’t think it’s realistic, but what they mean is that the community can in theory get together and decide to fork the code, collectively deciding that BlackRock’s Bitcoin addresses are no longer part of their Bitcoin network. The BlackRock Bitcoin would be incompatible with the forked code.

The result of a fork like that is two coins: BlackRock Bitcoin and Everyone Else Bitcoin. Every holder of the original Bitcoin gets an equal amount of both. It’s a popularity contest between the two resulting Bitcoins to determine the price of each.

In 2017, Bitcoin was struggling to scale. It had absurd transaction fees due to demand (just like Ethereum a few years later), and the community couldn’t come to a consensus on how to upgrade it. 10% of the community forked the code to upgrade it by increasing block size, while everyone else opted for an L2 scaling solution. The result for holders was that they ended up with both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash in their wallets. Weirdly, the combined market value ended up being higher than value of the Bitcoin before the fork. I sold my Bitcoin Cash immediately and pocketed the money, expecting the price to go to zero. It did not.

I eagerly await an F-Droid-like open source app store for Apple. Fapple.

I searched for “nitinol cooling system” and found articles dating back to 2016 about the same technology at a German university –

https://newatlas.com/shape-memory-alloy-nitinol-heating-cooling/58837/

Cool tech, but this recent article lacks substance compared to the older ones. Also interesting that the German team claimed 2x better efficiency than a typical heat pump.

I don’t see this talked about much anymore, but the day Plex added telemetry in 2017 was the day I became five-alarm desperate for an alternative. Had to wait a 2-3 years with Plex’s telemetry IP’s and domains blacklisted before Jellyfin was mature enough for me to make the change.

How Plex users can be comfortable with any telemetry is beyond me.

Fair point. My original prompt asked for more, but the model wasn’t capable enough. Not sure if the “warp drive” part would be part of any standard algo.

Any ideas on challenges that are new and more fun than the “balls rolling in a hexa-,hepta-,octagon” or “simulate a solar system” prompts everyone’s using these days?

It’s a 4090 using cublas. I just run the stock llama.cpp server with CUDA support. Do you know if there’d be any advantage to building it from source or using something else?

22466MiB / 24564MiB, awesome, thank you!

I’m close to the limit at 23886MiB / 24564MiB of VRAM used when the server is running. I like to have a bit of headroom for other tasks.

But I’m by no means a llama.cpp expert. If you have any tips for better performance I’d love to hear them!

Example?

Isn’t every app that’s not open source assumed to be spyware nowadays?

Wake me up when this sort of thing is actually illegal. Preferably punishable with jail time.
