One more thing to consider is the overlap of people pushing to get rid of these current firearm restrictions while supporting things like the SAVE act.

Fantastic way to address the issues and the explanation of what makes a lot of the so called “common sense” gun legislation so problematic.

Honestly just jump in with whatever hardware you have available and a small 1.5b/7b model. You’ll figure out all the difficult uncertainties as you go and try to improve things.

I’m hosting a few lighter models that are somewhat useful and fun without even using a dedicated GPU- just a lot of ram and fast NVMe so the models don’t take forever to spin up.

Of course I’ve got an upgrade path in mind for the hardware and to add a GPU but there are other places I’d rather put the money atm and I do appreciate that it all currently runs on a 250w PSU.

Myron Cook - A very hands on and educational geology channel

USCSB - US Chemical Safety Board that recreates incident investigations and gives recommendations.

It would probably get much less hate if it was just called “Burger Cheese”

We just have to convince the conservatives that this would be a DEI program and it’ll be a slam dunk case. /s

Here’s a longer video that includes him getting cuffed on the floor. https://youtu.be/DsQ5YvT_28Y

Similar thought to your first paragraph, now that the dust is settling. My best guess is the current US playbook is to risk most of the US soft power and take advantage of its current economic position to really bolster its hard power so the US is in a position to exert more direct force/coerce the rest of the world for what it wants and have more control over policy in other countries. If that’s really the case then china is probably the biggest threat to that gamble as it’s been catching up to or surpassing the US in a few industries recently. And if the gamble fails the economy sinks for a while and Europe or china passes the us as the global powerhouse.

A better angle might be that currently in the US capitalism is rarely actually scrutinized for the disadvantages it does have. Capitalism is almost synonymous with America and people often see critiques of capitalism as an attack on the nation itself, even though most of them don’t actually know the principles or characteristics of capitalism.

It goes the other way too where people automatically think that characteristics of America are capitalist

As an example a majority of Americans probably think that American politics and democracy is part of capitalism, or that the economy is pure capitalism.

If people were more willing to critically evaluate capitalism without feeling attacked it could increase support for more worker friendly policies that are generally socialist in nature while still having a capitalistic foundation.

So maybe it’s not actually the DEI itself that makes the game bad but actually the shitty game design and writing that makes the game bad and lore suck.
