His trail's probably a long way away, isn't it?

My sentiment is the same.

To be blunt, Lemmy is a terrible place to ask.

Is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rncUo1Pnqio

Close enough to double take, but I don't think its the person they caught.

Kirk's job was literally to argue like this though, so it might be somewhere else.

Can’t say jordans characters are the most complex I have encountered.

I don’t remember anyone charismatic except rosamund pike's character, but I figured this was the series's doing.

If the fantasy systems are more of the appeal, which I get, that did come off as confusing too. It sounds like they sacrificed that to try and force more character interaction from what you’ve said, which… didn’t work.

It's a loyalty test, yes.

I am not a uber fan of the original movies TBH. They're historical, and they're fine. The games are littered with gems though.

I never read the books, but... yeah.

What happened? The books are not so zombified, right?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I don't remember that at all, heh.

I don't regret dropping it or starting I guess, and I liked some of the characters. Crowley's great. Moose, Squirrel

Ha, how is it allowed to be uploaded? No one is just checking for its copyright I guess? Or does the processing throw detectors off?

They just need a big timejump. Go back KOTOR era, or go to the far future.

Honestly part of the problem is that fans want original trilogy nostalgia. I couldn't believe how much they raged over Andor.

'Skywalker' shouldn't be uttered in newer stuff, but it's required, and Disney knows it too well.

Hollywood's concern feels like splitting hairs too, or software issues that are simple to overcome:

The Motion Picture Association, which represents major film studios including Amazon and Netflix, argues it would override their existing kids’ safety measures. MPA urged state lawmakers to reject Wicks’ bill this week in a letter, obtained by POLITICO, claiming device-based age checks may sow confusion; for example, if parents and kids had separate Netflix profiles under one account that’s logged in on multiple devices.

And maybe a bit more grounded at the end.

 

Driving the news: Texas A&M's Andrew Dessler and Rutgers' Robert Kopp organized the response.

  • It gets into the "greening" and agricultural benefits of higher CO2 levels; disputes whether climate change is making hurricanes more intense; and disagrees with many scientists on the potential lower bound of expected warming from doubling CO2 concentrations, among many divides.
  • "When I read the DOE report, I saw a document that does not respect science," he tells Axios via email. "Instead, I saw a document that's a mockery of science."

Axios is short and light on ads, so the whole thing's worth a read.

 

Maybe this instrumental cover is closer:

But the guitar in the original sounds so "Rimworld" even if the lyrics/vocals aren't as topical.

 

"We're seeing a unifying moment. The band is back together," MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec told Axios.

"He gets attacked just relentlessly by the Wall Street Journal in such an uncalled for way, and we have his back 100% against this smearing and this slandering," Charlie Kirk added on his show.

 

Similar to: https://lemmy.world/post/32961209

But I find the extra quotes interesting:

Two sources told Axios the plan would include long-range missiles that could strike deep inside Russia.

Trump said Monday that whenever he speaks to Putin, "I always hang up and say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call.' And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city. And after that happens three or four times, you say, 'Talk doesn't mean anything.'"

A bill circulating in the Senate would impose 500% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, but Trump suggested that number was too high and that he could impose 100% tariffs without Senate approval.

 

As to why it (IMO) qualifies:

"My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future," Greene wrote. "And their future and their entire generation's future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR."

Hence, she feels her support is threatening her kids.

"MTG getting her face eaten" was not on my 2025 bingo card, though she is in the early stage of face eating.

 

"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!

 

Video is linked. SFW, but keep your volume down.

 

In a nutshell, he’s allegedly frustrated by too few policies favorable to him.

 
  • The IDF is planning to displace close to 2 million Palestinians to the Rafah area, where compounds for the delivery of humanitarian aid are being built.
  • The compounds are to be managed by a new international foundation and private U.S. companies, though it's unclear how the plan will function after the UN and all aid organizations announced they won't take part
 

Qwen3 was apparently posted early, then quickly pulled from HuggingFace and Modelscope. The large ones are MoEs, per screenshots from Reddit:

Including a 235B/22B active and a 30B/3B active.

Context appears to 'only' be 32K unfortunately: https://huggingface.co/qingy2024/Qwen3-0.6B/blob/main/config_4b.json

But its possible they're still training them to 256K:

Take it all with a grain of salt, configs could change with the official release, but it appears it is happening today.

 

This is one of the "smartest" models you can fit on a 24GB GPU now, with no offloading and very little quantization loss. It feels big and insightful, like a better (albeit dry) Llama 3.3 70B with thinking, and with more STEM world knowledge than QwQ 32B, but comfortably fits thanks the new exl3 quantization!

Quantization Loss

You need to use a backend that support exl3, like (at the moment) text-gen-web-ui or (soon) TabbyAPI.

 

"It makes me think that maybe he [Putin] doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!", Trump wrote.
