"President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration [#HeidiOverton] previously called on conservatives to create new academic journals and to fund science that would explicitly back right-wing policy goals."

@petersuber did she not pick up anything about science or research in med school?
Friends don't let friends run DOGE/Linux

I didn't play with it much outside of reading some code and being a bit of a crank. Over drawterm the performance isn't going to be great, and iirc there's no texture mapping or anything so the colors seem accurate but really not sure.
@markarayner facts.
Oh no!
Saint Dolly Parton has died! 80.
It is spelled Omarchy, but it is pronounced DOGE slash Linux.
@Migueldeicaza I assume something funny is going on with Omarchy?
Oh a new Berlin-based ruby user group?
Opens FAQ:
“political discussions are not
permitted”
🤦
Repeat after me:
👏 everything 👏 is 👏 political 👏
Especially if the language and most common framework are in the hands of literal fascist companies and individuals.
It has been seven months and one day since ICE mercenaries in Minnesota executed Alex Pretti in cold blood in furtherance of state terrorism.
We honor those who immediately took action in the streets to chase off the murderers and show—with their actions—that a tragedy had taken place.

It is naïve to expect justice from the court system. The only way to ensure that federal agents stop murdering people is to build the collective capacity to stop them.
No judge is going to do this. No Democratic politician is going to abolish ICE for us.
The state and the mercenaries who serve it are our enemies. Organize grassroots resistance.
I have a problem with this story about AI “Becoming So Powerful, It’s Stumping Those Trying to Contain It.” All the tech bros, and the reporter, suggest that the AI’s have agency here. In fact, the AI’s are being programmed and designed and set in motion to carry out cyberattacks—to “hack certain targets.”
Then there's unexpected damage!
Maybe stop doing that? But don't pretend the AI’s have gone rogue.
Ya dump a barrel of paint, it's hard to contain. Not a lot of intelligence to it.
Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-news/dolly-parton-dead-country-music-1236680877/
Closest thing that's been made so far is to stick a new partial model to the current base one, but the base and the appendix must be specifically built to allow for it. Low-Rank Adaptation it's called (LoRA, not to be confused with the radio frequency one)
@csolisr it’s still not learning or changing with use. It’s more like you’re occasionally getting a new chapter for your textbook.
RIP Dolly #DollyParton
A change of pace, and greener pastures. In Neofeud 2, my sci-fi retro-adventure game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4611140/Neofeud_2/ #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #visualnovel #SteamDeck #indiegame #noAI #art #artist #scifiart
mr opus says wait (for the 512GB mac studio)...
‘The 512 config lets you run a big model and a deep context, which for agentic coding is usually the binding constraint.
If your target is GLM-5.2-class models at 4-bit with real context, or local fine-tuning, the 512 is the whole point and worth waiting until late October.’

mr opus also estimates you will pay an additional $6400 to go from 256gb to 512gb
