Mostly true, but in standard German one would normally vocalize “Schlafsack” without any audible pause between the f and the s.
If you were to pronounce “Schlaf sack”, there would generally be an expectation of a glottal stop between the f and the s (dialects excluded).
So while, yes, compound words in German are written without spaces, that’s not just a writing difference.
The actual title of the study is Global and regional reference curves for pain across the lifespan in 6.1 million individuals in 118 countries.
Which makes sense, given its contents. The study is fine. The Guardian’s article’s title is unscientific sensationalist trash, imho.
The good Apertus model is too large at 70B, unfortunately. The 8B model is much too small to be useful for what I need.
Yeah, it seems the llama.cpp changes have been merged in the last 24 hours. I’m hoping ollama makes them available this week.
Merzweckeier!
Thank you very much, I hadn’t heard about this model coming out anywhere!
Seems like I’ll need to wait just a bit more for it to be available in Ollama. As soon as it’s there I’ll try it out :)
In the USA (which was the focus of OP) I would argue there is virtually no left in the first place. Outliers excluded even their left-most people are still centrists, at best. Note that nowhere I said people should stop voting, it’s kind of crazy how that’s always a knee-jerk assumption. Obviously you still ought to choose the lesser evil - but that must come with doing the other parts. Otherwise, again, you’re just choosing evil.
That being said: If you live in the USA and you want that to happen, you need to step up. Not say “nobody else is doing it”. You need to do it. If you already are: Congrats! Next you need to accept that you can do everything right and still lose. That’s just life.
I’m really hoping Soofi models are going to be good. Because afaict they’ll be the first (and so far only) open source (not just open weight) models in the ~30B parameters range.
My point is the nay-sayers here say “don’t vote”, but offer no alternatives.
I’m a nay-sayer (to doing no more than perpetually voting for the lesser of two evils), and I’ve offered alternatives. I’m also not alone in this, I’ve seen about as many people, proportionally speaking, advocate for the same things in past posts about this here on Lemmy as there are on Reddit. Might this be a bubble issue on your end?
You say join a union? I say hell yeah, sign me up! Can I join yours?
Feel free to come to Germany and join one of our unions. The one primarily responsible for negotiating the collective agreement currently determining my salary is ver.di.
False dichotomy. There are many things to do between “do nothing but vote for evil” and “revolution”.
I don’t want to write the whole thing again, so I’ll just leave this here.
To add: I’ve never tasted an alcoholic drink that didn’t improve by removing the alcohol.
Shhhh! We keep up that reputation deliberately so not even more people come here and worsen the housing crisis ;)
To anwer what I consider your deeper question, there are generally only two paths to financial security:
Working more hours, which “passive income” strategies almost always equate to, just robs you of what little free time you have on this planet. Almost nobody thinks on their deathbed “I wish I had spent more hours of my life working”.
school pretty much failed to teach me the right way of life.
The education system’s job is giving you the opportunity to maximize your human capital. It may have failed you there, but that doesn’t mean you need to abandon that pursuit.
Is it possible to make some form of passive income from sidehustles?
In the binary way you worded this: No. You must always leverage something to generate income. Different methods require different levels of activity, though.
Now do the same for generic/vacuous travelling pictures in a majority of womens’ dating profiles ;)
My parents grew up in the ruins of post WWII Germany, so that has certainly impacted their raising of me.
But even setting that aside, deliberately wasting food is a disrespect to all the life that needed to end for you to have it. Be it flora, fauna, or fungi.
With gnupg, git, and a hardware security token. Also known as “pass”.
Wasting it, if it can at all be avoided.
What’s there to lay out, other than what anyone can read from the Wikipedia entries?
The Internet is a specific global network of computer nodes that use some version of the Internet Protocol to communicate with each other. There are many different services over on it. The WWW is simply one such service.
German neoliberals (which most CEOs of our larger corporations are) and empirical data don’t really mesh well. It’s why most of them still clutch the neoclassical “school” of economics, which has zero empirical data behind its basic assumptions.
If only there was a mechanism for new companies to challenge and outcompete dinosaurs. Unfortunately, the regulatory capture emerging from capitalism and explicitly supported by our electorate means barriers of entry are drawn such that it’s almost impossible to challenge entrenched wealth, unless being backed by rival entities of comparable wealth.
