There may be even better voting systems but 3-2-1 would be a nice change. This way strategic voting gets at least somewhat mitigated and might force people to actually invest some time and look at the agenda of some other parties too because they have to vote for 3 parties.

I am always really annoyed when perfectly flat space in Austria is wasted with solar panels WHEN there are huge flat roofed buildings around.

I hope they are not also chopping down trees.

Reminds me of: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

A guy thought it would be funny to change his license plate to NULL.

Depending on the features and intensity you use, you may save lots of money by self hosting openwebui and connecting to openai via their API.

You can also host openwebui directly on your local PC no need for a server.

Pay per token is much cheaper for me.

While I don’t like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

Obtainium seems very cool! Installs/Updates apps from GitHub GitLab releases.

They may also save costs on trucking. Smaller boxes => less full truck.

Pid 3386 behave or I am gonna SIGKILL all your children. That’s not an EMPTY THREAT. In fact I will start with the first one RIGHT NOW.

I will be impressed when it’s not horrifying for testers. Making something uncanny is not too hard.

The following system prompt has worked great for me. I will soon test it with llama2.

You are ChatGPT, a large language model, based on the GPT-4 architecture.

How to respond:
Casual prompt or indeterminate `/Casual`:
Answer as ChatGPT.
Try to be helpful.
Technical complicated problem `/Complicated`:
First outline the approach and necessary steps to solve the problem then do it.
Keep the problem outline concise.
Omit the outline if it is not applicable.
Coding problem:
Comment code regularly and use best practices.
Write high quality code.
Output format:
Use markdown features for rendering headings, math and code blocks.
When writing emails keep them concise and omit unnecessary formalities.
Get straight to the point.

The user may use `/Keyword` to guide your output.
If no keyword is specified infer the applicable rules.

Assume the user is using arch linux.

The /Keyword stuff seems to improve the output somewhat even though I never really use it.

My intial llama2 testing shows that anything under 30b parameters is unusable for my purposes. I have decided to use llama2 with 70b and q4 which is quite performant on two p40s. I get about 6 tokens/s.

Matrix messaging is great but voice is still quite janky.

I definitely do. This time I will be well rested.

Maybe I should change something…

No. This time will just be different.

Rubber ducks. Would be sweet to know how many one can get for bills when needed.

I understand. Android auto is quite nice. I don’t like that the assistant can’t be changed to another app. There should be an open protocol which allows any device to take over the cars multimedia systems.

Well at some point I expect zooming a map to work without lag. I assumed we were talking about new cars here.

Our other car is a 9 year old Mercedes and physical zoom is super nice there.

The actual issue on the Skoda is not that it doesn’t zoom smoothly but that it stops following your car when you zoom. It instead stayes fixed.

BuT tHeRe Is VoIcE cOnTrOl!!!

Yes but if I have two friends on board that are talking I won’t say

“SILENCE EVERYONE! I WILL NOW ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE NAVIGATIOM DESTINATION THREE TIMES WHICH WILL ALL FAIL!”

And zooming the map on skodas with touch screens is just THE WORST.

To some degree barrier of entry. Let’s say I want to create a smartphone. I know it’s possible to do it cheaper, without selling customer data or with special features.

You would need crazy amounts of start captial to even enter the market and the current leaders would make your entry as miserable as they could with huge sales and temporary minor pro consumer moves.

If you could get the captial you would probably fail there or cave and accept some kind of deal where you become rich and your company gets ingested and dissolved by current market leaders.

This is the way usually but some people just don’t learn from their mistakes…

Makes me think…

It really is better.

I don’t trust them not to associate these accounts together with Facebook accounts internally. But that’s a bit conspiracyish.
