• From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs?

  I tried out the 8B deepseek and found it pretty underwhelming - the responses were borderline unrelated to the prompts at times. The smallest I had any respectable output with was the 12B model - which I was able to run, at a somewhat usable speed even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I didn’t realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won’t be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 16 GB of RAM and recently tried running local LLM models. Turns out my RAM is a bigger limiting factor than my GPU.

  And, yeah, docker’s always taking up 3-4 GB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hash tables are often used behind the scenes. dicts and sets in python both utilize hash tables internally, for example.

  Ars ate the onion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A billionaire doesn’t buy a news organization for money, they buy it for power - and every lost subscriber is a little less of that. Losing over 10% of your subscribers in one go is huge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The main difference to me is the lack of a profit motive, which is the primary driver of enshittification. The federation helps harden it against things like abusive admins, since it’s dead simple to jump ship to another instance in that case, but honestly that’s pretty secondary to me.

  In fact, uBlock Origin is one of the officially recommended extensions by Mozilla

  (Not an actual, like, punching him in the head beatdown.)

  Look, let’s not be picky here
