I’ve been using gguf models from unsloth but I haven’t seen anything from them on retraining. Especially with consumer hardware.

I still can’t get over how the only fine tuning you can do for an LLM is yell at it with markdown files. We should be able to retrain local models so they can develop an actual experience without prefilling the context.

“The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing,” they write. “Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use AI agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.”

Somebody invested money into this company. And there’s at least hundreds, maybe thousands, of other businesses with these asinine ideas about how to use AI. They’re all getting capital from someone who’s supposed to be smart because they have capital. Remember that when llm providers cost correct token prices.

People have been saying this for like a decade and it keeps getting worse.

The Wall Street Journal reported in February 2026 that high-quality voice cloning now requires roughly fifteen seconds of clean reference audio for tools available off the shelf.

Fifteen seconds for a full voice clone is scarily impressive.

Jones was always just an independent grifter. Its not like he was in Trump’s inner circle. Also Jones lost the case over a year ago. I think the verdict came out under the Biden regime.

And Insurance companies might start considering underpaid employees as an insurance liability.

That’d truly be righteous but I suspect they’ll start expecting more surveillance, security, and fire systems instead.

The US has a full hand of leverage options against Israel which Trump can unilaterally use. Very minimum is simply stop sending them more interceptors. But I think kidnapping Netanyahu and sending him to the ICC would be appropriate.

All fanciful wish casting of course.

Israel wants war and will continue to drag the US back into war until the US properly punishes Israel. The tail is wagging the dog and it needs to stop.

The turd is in google play services not AOSP so its not upstream of Lineage or Graphene. Graphene should actually be safe because it provides an alternative to google play services. Lineage doesn’t but the user isn’t required to install google play services. Lineage users might even be able to install Graphene’s alternative (MicroG iirc) instead.

Not if you self-host.

Ignore the AI slop image from that article. If you follow the SCMP article Tom’s Hardware is citing. You’ll see a bunch of these

Looks pretty familiar IMO.

I had a coworker pronounce URL as Earl.

Closing Hormuz is their “nuclear option”. Its one of the reasons why they never sought a nuclear weapon. That’s why they have so many anti ship missiles.

Stitch your lips to our assholes because you are now in our murder suicide pact with Israel.

WWII is the one exceptional case of american intervention. After that you’re literally scraping the bottom of the barrel. 3 of those were our puppets and the last was a tiny Carribean island.

Let’s look at some of the other examplea

• Afghanistan
• Libya
• Syria
• Iraq
• Honduras
• Nicaragua
• Angola
• Namibia
• Chile (putting in Pinochet)
• Vietnam
• Laos
• Iran
• North Korea
• Philippines
• Cuba (Bautista)

There’s certainly more - almost every Latin american nation could be mentioned - but I think I’ve made my point.

Do you really think the Islamic Republic of Iran will fall like Noriega? Please. They’ll have a new Supreme Ayatollah in months and there’s still the entire IRGC to deal with. The Iranian people may not be as theological as their government but they are deeply nationalist. Any criticism of their government is now: “you want our schoolgirls bombed”.

Utterly ignorant of every previous american attempt at regime change.

To be fair, Axios always had this writing style.

• Hamid Bendaas, a spokesperson for the IMEU Policy Project, said that during the meeting “the DNC shared with us that their own data also found that policy was, in their words, a ‘net-negative’ in the 2024 election.” Two other senior aides at the pro-Palestinian organization also said the DNC had drawn that conclusion.
• Axios independently verified that Democratic officials conducting the autopsy believed the issue harmed the party’s standing with some voters.

The intrigue: The IMEU Policy Project is now accusing the DNC of withholding its report in part because of its findings on Israel.

• DNC spokesperson Kendall Witmer denied that.
• When DNC officials announced last year that they wouldn’t release the audit, they said it was because they didn’t want the report to distract from the work of winning elections.

Remember this the next time someone tries to lecture you on why your primary candidate is simply unelectable.
