I've found that getting an model deployed locally was pretty difficult, but then I gave a try last week. It's awesome!

I was able to test out plenty of natural language questions and do a tiny amount of training on my home computer.

It looks like this week is going to be on hard mode. Highs around 100⁰F. 🥵

Sheesh my local Dodge dealer has so many cars and trucks that they had to park a ton of them across the interstate in a pasture. 👀

@major and they still won't budge on MSRP because when some chump finally does come through the door they can fleece to make up the margin they'd lose if they went back to pre 2020 sanity price.

I have plenty of complaints about the Democratic Party but, boy, I have no idea what the policy is on the Republican Party side.

They seem to reject conservative and liberal (big L and little l) ideals equally. As Charlie Sykes said years ago, the right really has lost its mind.

@major

I encourage everybody to read the 2020 GOP Platform, which lays out all of their policies.

It is a quick read for a policy platform, only 1 page long, but they were very clear on what the party's policies are.

And I think they have been very diligent in delivering on it to the best of their abilities. Laser-focused, really.

The only problem is that it is considered gauche and unsophisticated to read what Republicans actually say they stand for so it doesn't get reported on.

Truly. Look it up.

My #run today felt pretty awful. Then I realized just how humid it was:

(35°C == 95°F)

Demographics around access to abortion in the USA has some unexpected correlations.

(Not intending to start a ruckus on either side of the debate. Just sharing some data.)

@major So, no ruckus so far. That's good.

It's that time of year in Texas again where it's time to sweat. 🥵

You know why car dealers charge these insane markups?

Because people get in line to pay them. 🤦‍♂️

@major this reminds me of the gamers who whine about buggy preorders, DLC, etc. but can never seem to stop paying. Nobody needs a Land Rover so once you’re not walking, they know it’s just a question of how much far away they are from the VP’s yacht helipad.

I have a mechanical keyboard with cherry mx switches and one of my keycaps (the "U" key) keeps flying off a few times per day.

Does anyone have a good remedy? 🤔 ⌨️

Feels like 92F/31C and humidity is over 75%. Gross.

@major I'm not looking forward to those temperatures. Not one bit. At all. Ever.

Spending on Social Security + Medicare exceed defense spending in the USA.

At some point, we will have a reckoning here. Politicians keep kicking the can down the road.

@major I like that you share these charts often with little bias. Thanks Major!

Selling a home right now in the USA sure is difficult. Property values are up, interest rates are high, and mortgage applications are very low.

To make matters worse, more mortgages in some areas are "underwater" -- the value of the home is well below what is owed to the bank on the mortgage.

Wow, if you hop on a Mullvad vpn endpoint that exits in Switzerland, the YouTube ads are WAAAAAY more entertaining. 👀

If you use on cloud, amazon-ec2-utils is headed your way with some helpful udev rules and tools.

Now you can manage block devices using the same "sdX" conventions used in the AWS console and API. 😉

It's on the way to for users, too! 🥳

I wrote a quick post about how to set up amazon-ec2-utils on @fedora and how to see the differences after installing it:

Used car prices coming down in the USA. This isn't great for new car buying as dealers will offer less on a trade. Dealers still aren't moving much on new car pricing (yet).

@stevensanderson I see your point, but there are serious economic consequences either way. More people will be underwater on auto loans and new cars will feel more expensive.

stevensanderson,
@stevensanderson@mstdn.social avatar

@major Yes people will be underwater on car loans, which sucks but I would say is typical, cars retain zero value, your underwater as soon as you leave the lot. I think the manufactures in their quest to extract as much money as possible from people have over inflated the price of cars and dealers made it even worse. For the life of me I can't understand why people are paying, I negotiated my and my wifes cars down tremendously, always prepare to walk out, cars get pumped out.
