> William Barr. Barr is contemptible, yes, but smart AF

You mean the guy who covered up for Epstein's 'suicide' and expected us morons to believe it?

Let's assume that's true. How does it clash with him being "contemptible...but smart AF"?

Yeah I mean, orchestrating an assassination in a federal prison of a guy the whole world is watching, and never even so much as a whiff of a leak? Because how do you contain that without whacking everyone involved (which we would know about)? You don't. Not without teleportation, time-travel, or at the very least post-hypnotic suggestion.

Oh he's smart AF, all right.

Ollama did not open source their GUI.

The source is available here: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/tree/main/app

Thanks, I stand corrected.

Lmstudio runs llama.cpp under the hood.

They also run the Apple MLX engine on macOS.

That's the kind of attitude that removes power from the end user. If everything becomes SAAS you don't control anything anymore.

n sample size of 1 does not prove anything.

Does this require webgpu to run on the browser?

Blocking even part of it is a win. Not sure why we should treat this as a dichotomy

> The Apple Vision pro was not inevitable

I don't get the reason for this one being in the list. Is that an abusive product in some way?

I think AR/VR definitely turns off a lot of people, me included. Further it is seen as anti-social and unnecessary to many. I think the lackluster sales prove the “not inevitable” point.

I don't necessarily disagree with the crux of your point. But I suspect the lackluster sales also had something to do with the $3,500 price tag. Meta has sold sold over 20x as many Oculus units.

Why single out the Apple Vision Pro and not the Meta Quest?

Don't know, but, several times now, a product category was not universal until Apple "invented" it. Haha, only serious.

Certainly not the current French, though.

They no longer get the guillotines out, but they still protest like no one else.

Not always about the right issues, but at least they have the spirit

I think we were talking about the guillotine earlier on

They're metaphoric these days ;)

I would extend it to fraud in charities in general. Trusting a third party (unknown to you) to handle your money responsibly is not a smart move.

Are you saying all charities are frauds? That's how that comes across.

I'm saying you have no way of knowing, so the potential is always there.
