As a long time DooM fan, the constant “use fire hook with double barrel shotgun for armor” got really old, really fast.
If you didn’t do it on the higher difficulty settings, like Ultra-Violence, you simply died.
I’m actually hoping they take a page from HeXen for this installment

If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.
Everything will be extremely slow otherwise.

I don’t know what GPU you’ve got, but Lexi V2 is the best “small model” I’ve seen with emotions, that I can just cite from the top of my head.
It tends to skew male and can be a little dark at times, but it’s more complex than expected for the size (8B feels like 48-70B).
Do Q8_0 if you’ve got the VRAM, Q5_KL for speed, IQ2 or IQ3 if you’ve got a potato.

My answer to this is yes.
I’m an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn’t want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).
Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don’t fall down the well/rabbit hole.

Use an executable like LM Studio, and then an off the shelf pre-trained model from Huggingface.
VRAM × 0.8 for max size.
Experiment until you find one you like.

Well, you are absolutely correct. A 1-2% DoD is something for like, the Voyager Probe though, not a smartphone :)

I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.
I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I’m a “power user”, so my battery thrashing is higher than average.
Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.

Depth of Discharge, sorry – 0 to 100 would be a 100% depth (the entire battery), 30 to 80 is 50%.

This is a 50% DoD and is considered best possible practice to prevent lithium-ion dendrite formation.
Updoot for good advice.

"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."
Isn’t empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.

- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 3 weeks ago:
No the great filter is quite a lot more basic than that, things like unstable atmospheres, cosmic ray bursts, collisions, etc.
You’re on the right track though
- Comment on Skill issue 4 weeks ago:
You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience
I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.
Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.
Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.
I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

By definition, that’s last year, so it’s an old game.

TLDR: The body has a setpoint for weight which is tuned to environmental conditions and will attempt to reach it by modulating hunger.
It takes 8-12 months for these hormones to reset, so any diet is ineffective unless permanently maintained.
High setpoint? Prepare to be ravenously hungry all the time if you eat below your hormonal baseline.

I have the opposite – almost all vegetation has a taste and it’s quite good.
Basil? Yes. Garlic… Cabbage Spinach Asparagus Broccoli Carrots! Peppers! Beets!
I just made a huge pot of Borscht last night with beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, basil and olive oil - it’s going to feed me for days!
Feel bad for the people missing out on how tasty Earth plants are

The bottom right “art” in green is pure schizoposting, the “DMs from the divine” and then walls of text are typical of degenerative schizophrenia.
I’m sorry OP, they might be an art thief, they might be insane, maybe both.

- Comment on Are Dating Apps Getting Worse? 2 months ago:
Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.
I was on them a decade ago, and I’m classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.
After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting actually messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.
Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.
