@meliasiih tried a couple - Any model I wanted to test was so jammed /throttled it was effectively useless. Gave up.
Great for NVIDIA marketing and PR,
Terrible for users - just a time waster.
Same with OpenRouter when they PR launch new bells/whistles model with free plan.
Stay paid.
@auroralchorus Deceitful and dishonest? Genuinely a banana's take.
The alt, better mindset is to acknowledge
a) the hustle
b) the cognitive process to breakdown the challenges in the system
c) the implementation of not-unethical solution to give you an edge and increase probability to advance
@AnnaDeMilanese Makes sense as part of Imperialist plan.
Strategic encirclement of EU by US in prep for US NATO exit and move to adversarial posture.
RU in the East (frenemy), build choke points in the West.
Control the energy in Gulf States, Israel/US bases thru ME to Turkey.
And squeeze.
@sudoingX Any model run well with a 8Gb card and Hermes?
Tried to pilot Hermes + a couple, a cut down Gemma and Quen, but both were dumb as rocks.
Rn it's invest $$ in hardware Inc 24Gb gpu for suboptimal ai, or API and pay through the agentic nose.
@prieurdp Ppl thinking ahead. You have bad visibility reversing out into traffic corridor with unseen drivers - which is more anxiety producing.
Vs when reversing in, when you have full view of vehicle traffic, which is guaranteed to be paused, for your reverse-in.
@moizali Not Saint-Tropez, but unique Port-Grimaud 30 mins away
Not Lake Como - but Garda on Lake Garda, if you want adventure sport month (water/mountain summer sports)
Not Amalfi coast, but Sardinia (or Corsica - amazing).
1 step less glam but all the amazing. All need car rental.
@williamssainz That's Fontvielle port side of Monaco not port Hercule. From where he is walking, maybe La Salière on GMaps as it's only Italian on that street, fits the price range and local vibe.
@randomrecruiter If HR has that level of influence that's the fault of the org, not HR.
My bet is the CFO, looking at overindexed talent & total employment cost inflation, made the call. Candidae not meeting all Principal level criteria is an easy out.
HR, deliverer of news, is the fall guy.
@TheEuropeansHQ Build more Nuke power + renewables + storage + EU grid. Over build even.
Independent cheap energy capacity will be one of the foundations for future economic optionality, prosperity, and lib democracy.
Build skillbase from smelting to turbines
@WeaponScientist Realignment away from US, reducing US leverage over EU/ NATO members in the best nat. security pathway.
Build indy capability within EU+allies. MEGA, even.
DeGaulle was proven correct re US.
Post WW2 world is dead.
@Ragassa_Hash I'd argue that Nice is way better than terrible - pebbles and high (not really) prices.. ok
Its not just a city destination, its a sm city hub for coast trips East and West, inc sand beaches (if thats your thing), villages, yachting, lowkey med vibe nights and inland nat parks
@_Afcbanks Said the same thing when Arsenal were mocked for this:
Any minimally competent organization will do this, as part of boring contingency planning/ event management.
Print t-shirts, the whole thing. Just part of running an events business with uncertain outcomes.
@jamesbenge World love to see an Arsenal only Guard of Honour - the Invincibles honouring the new guard, every time they win the prem.😎
Eventually to be replaced by these set of lads, honouring those that come next.
@mcuban For biz, AI is zero sum: its purpose is to remove talent.
In some Dickensian gig-work economy, Owners would just set gig contracts requiring the ingestion of a talents entire knowledge/skill base to train their AI.
One and done.

@AIandDesign@Meta The biggest headache in any profit maxing biz is Human Resources.
Too much variance and uncertainty. Layers of costs and regs.
ANYTHING that can cut talent from biz is priority no.1.
AI is a Eutopian path for the owner class, and they'll raze continents for it. Get wealthy now
@Joshua_Ariza Maybe.
Meta is one of the most profitable companies in the world. Ever.
They can gamble 80B on a stupid Metaverse and lose and it does not matter, b/c 1/2 the ppl on this planet engage with their products.
Meta annual GP for 2025 was $164.791B, a 22.67% increase from 2024.

@iupdate Man who makes his whole online persona about a phone would think that.
Its not 2010 any more. The rest of the world iterated through 64 new pointless tribal Us and Them rage battles since then.
@SFGate Some land opened up in California..Land, water, near pop center.. anyone need a AI Hyperscaler ?
Farmers get govt to pay to remove trees, sell land for genny wealth and central valley will be paved with AI chips and 20 network admin jobs.
Its as American as Apple (peach) Pie!
@nomadgeist Its the same everywhere you go.
Try making strong friends in France, Italy Holland, Germany - they have school + uni friends, work friends, kids, family, a cultural lingua-franca you never grew up with, as well as a diff natural language too -
Why do they need you?
