Become a hot elf girl??!? Egg explodes

Yes, sorry, where I live it’s pretty normal for cars to be diesel powered. What I meant by my comparison was that a train, when measured uncritically, uses more energy to run than a car due to it’s size and behavior, but that when compared fairly, the train has obvious gains and tradeoffs.

Deepseek as a 600b model is more efficient than the 400b llama model (a more fair size comparison), because it’s a mixed experts model with less active parameters, and when run in the R1 reasoning configuration, it is probably still more efficient than a dense model of comparable intelligence.

Yeah, I was thinking diesel powered trains

This article is comparing apples to oranges here. The deepseek R1 model is a mixture of experts, reasoning model with 600 billion parameters, and the meta model is a dense 70 billion parameter model without reasoning which preforms much worse.

They should be comparing deepseek to reasoning models such as openai’s O1. They are comparable with results, but O1 cost significantly more to run. It’s impossible to know how much energy it uses because it’s a closed source model and openai doesn’t publish that information, but they charge a lot for it on their API.

Tldr: It’s a bad faith comparison. Like comparing a train to a car and complaining about how much more diesel the train used on a 3 mile trip between stations.

Here is my face, sir.

Get a bidet, friend

Can confirm, “my lesbian experience with loneliness” is gold. I’d recommend it even to people who aren’t accustomed to reading comics or manga. Masterpiece autobiographical literature.

I’ve read most of these. Here are my unsolicited reviews:

“I’m in love with the villainous?” I read the first 2 books, and the flipped perspective companion series. It’s almost genius in the way it stops to directly address the reader and break down the lesbian experience directly in a meta sort of way, but ultimately it is a wish fulfillment lesbian fantasy that doesn’t take it’s fictional conciet to it’s natural endpoint, imo (the main character is a lovable psycho, and they don’t really reckon with the psycho part. I really wish they would.)

“The guy I was interested in wasn’t a guy at all” Best manga art I’ve seen in a long time. It oozes style and pretty, simple queerness. The format is not as long. It’s more like a weekly strip, sometimes, and my biggest fault with it is I wanted to see longer plot arcs play out uninterrupted. I could just flip through pages of this manga without reading and melt at all the pretty stars, interesting expressions, and stylish outfits. Maybe, if I could complain about one thing, everyone is so hot in this manga that it legit is a bit annoying.

“Yamada and Kase-san” is very, very cute. It’s wholesome, not overly dramatic, and very gay. The characters aren’t anything too new, but it manages to feel more authentic than most other slice of life Yuri manga. The art is great, too.

“Bloom into you.” I’ve tried so many times to read this one, because everyone recommends it constantly, but I think I’ve got too much dude energy or something because I don’t like it. Sorry!

Anyway, read them all, peeps.

Not gonna lie, that looks fun as hell to play on

I mean no offense, but it sounds like you have poorly developed social skills. I used to as well.

You could try reframing it in your mind:

It’s not faking, it’s practice.

If you pick up an instrument for the first time to practice, you will sound terrible, and possibly be discouraged, but if you practice for hundreds of hours you’ll be able to play it for real.

Babies and children aren’t born knowing how to express interest or sympathize. You certainly weren’t. Children have to learn how to do this. It is possible that you need to practice if you want to build intimate relationships. There is no shortcut to this.

(35, he/him) This is how I met my first girlfriend, in reverse. I was lonely and had mentally committed to making a friend in a manic episode. I saw her on a bench reading and asked if I could sit next to her. I had a book with me too, and began to read. Then, I asked what she was reading. We became friends, and later dated for 2.5 years.

I’ve spent a lot of time wandering around hoping people would talk to me. I used to feel like it was worthless, because 95% of the time no one will talk to you, but those odds aren’t so bad in hindsight. Go into public 100 times a year and you’ll have 5 decent shots at making a friend. Make one friend a year, and you’ll probably have more social opportunities than you want to deal with.

I’ve met people randomly in public like this perhaps 6 times.

There are other factors other than randomness:

1. I’m very friendly to people. I like to ask questions once a conversation gets going, and I get animated on just about any topic. I talk to myself a lot, so even when I’m not exposed to people I’m practiced, in a way.

2. There is usually an activity involved. Reading a book together, drawing on an airplane, posting art on a blog, taking classes together, being at the same work event, hiding in the same hard to find corner of the library. These are all situations from my life, and they typically involve a shared activity, or a creative outlet. This is probably why people recommend joining clubs / going to bars, advice I’ve never taken, but I see the reasoning.

I don’t mean to project that my social life is great! I’ve been terribly lonely during much of it, and these experiences I’m describing took place over several years. However, if I could boil down my successes, I’d say they cultivating a curiousty in others and publically engaging in my hobbies has been the best way to make friends (and occasionally lovers).

I’m not a medical expert, but typically your skin is pretty good at keeping pathogens out, at least when you clean yourself regularly.

Keeping your hands clean (and thus your eyes and mouth) should be a priority. A relatively cheap and easy thing to focus on would be cheap, disposable gloves. Buy them in bulk, and carry a wad in a pocket. You can turn old ones inside out and use them as little trash bags. Change them out whenever you feel like it.

If you don’t have a clothes washer at home, consider buying a cheap portable unit that can drain into the shower or sink. I have one, and it rocks.

You might feel a little crazy, but if you have the spare cash, buy some bleach spray and paper towels and wipe down the elevator. It should only take 5 minutes. It could be the case that it only needs to be cleaned every few weeks.

Remember that by keeping your space and person clean, you are doing a lot to stay healthy. People work draining septic tanks for a living and are exposed to sewage, but stay healthy because of good hygiene habits in the long term. I don’t mean to minimize your situation, because I’d feel crazy too, but just keep in mind you’re already doing a good job.

Just as the guy dodging the moose, his little dog is jumping to attack it. Little dogs are hardcore

Turns out that eliminating 70% of all viable workers from employability creates job security for boring, cis men.

Tbh, the hate is largely good old fashioned bullying. The rumors of cheating have been completely disproven. She qualified, she knew she was unlikely to win. She’s almost 20 years older than her oldest opponent and this was perhaps her first time competing at that level. Her performance had good parts.

I think the gleeful bullying is disgusting. Fucking armchair critics.

Edit: there are specific moves, but it’s largely improvisational. you are judged comparatively against the other b-boy. If you watch the full set the commentators will call them out. her full set

The Internet just likes to bully people.

Exposure to violence is bad. Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad. Exporting violence to places and people unseen, all bad.

but I’m not really sure that illegal or extra-judicial killings are always wrong. Sometimes evil people are protected or above the law. If a Russian citizen shot Vladimir Putin dead tomorrow, I’d be happy with it. I’d be happy to see a sandy hook parent kill Alex Jones, if they could do it without consequence.

It’s not that I believe that murder should be legal, Nor do I believe in capital punishment. Institutional violence is bad for the reasons I listed earlier. But, a lone gunman shooting an evil man is not institutionalized violence.
