Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I remember hearing once that the eyes are kind of an external piece of the brain.

I have this too on occasion! Although, I think I had this problem on another podcast player before I switched.

Cheapest would probably be the Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi route.

I gave up trying to make an HTPC (using Kodi, ChimeraOS, etc). It wasn’t worth the hassle and ended up settling for an Apple TV.

I have an RX6800XT and I use KoboldCPP to run models I download off of Huggingface.

I’m not sure how many tokens per second it generates, probably about 10?

If you want to try it yourself here’s a link to the Github page: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

Yeah. The icing is made with powdered sugar and tomato juice.

Honestly, it’s wild to me that I probably ate something that most people will go their whole lives without knowing it’s existence.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?

Not yet, although not for lack of curiosity. I was busy at the time and then forgot about this.

Although, in case you’re curious, tomato cake is a thing I’ve made and it’s definitely different. I didn’t like it at first but I also ended up eating the whole thing over a couple days.

Thanks for reminding me of this curiosity though!

If it’s not UwUntu, I don’t want it 😤

If I could have Pixel software on Sony hardware, I’d be golden.

How about MS DOS though? That was also pretty good for its time.

Honestly I think they can and should be compared, they’re both distros after all.

I assume some will say they don’t want it to. I hope it does so more people are no longer giving money to giant social media companies, or being tracked by them.

Pixel 6 Pro, Firefox, CalyxOS

I’ve got some mechanical pencils from 8 years ago.

Granted I hardly use them now, but they served me well as daily drivers for the first 5. They’re the shaker kind too!

HOA can pound sand when it comes to native wildflowers, at least where I live.

Honestly, podcasts on YouTube are better if you have sponsorblock

What distro/software are you using?

Gravity is pretty weak, all things considered. A tiny magnet can easily overcome the entire Earth’s gravity on a small metal object.

Usually your engine uses fuel to turn your wheels.

When you engine brake, your wheels turn your engine.
