I found that show really interesting to watch. I think a lot of the series holds up, in terms of acting and storytelling, to the point where I'll rewatch the series despite knowing the awful ending—but the ending was fucking awful.

I hate that ChatGPT 5 will absolutely not obey instructions to cut that shit out. ChatGPT 4 was worse by default but would at least listen.

I appreciate it. I'm not going to overclock. I used to do that but these days I value stability over maximum performance. I'll go with your suggestion, thank you.

I'll see about 128, then, but I'll probably do 64. Just depends on cost. Any recs?

I'm going to upgrade my ram shortly because I found a bad stick and I'm down to 16GB currently. I'll see if I can swing that order this weekend.

I'll look into it. OAI's 30B model is the most I can run in my MacBook and it's decent. I don't think I can even run that on my desktop with a 3060 GPU. I have access to GLM 4.6 through a service but that's the ~350B parameter model and I'm pretty sure that's not what you're running at home.

It's pretty reasonable in capability. I want to play around with setting up RAG pipelines for specific domain knowledge, but I'm just getting started.

Local is also slower and... less robust in capability. But it's getting there. I run local AI and I'm really impressed with gains in both. It's just still a big gap.

We're headed in a good direction here, but I'm afraid local may be gated by ability to afford expensive hardware.

A black woman refuses to vote for what looks like Lich Jimmy Carter, then has her blackness stripped away leaving her either a dead or catatonic white woman.

I have no idea what message is even being attempted here.

It's mostly The Sims with mods along with whatever meme games she's hearing about on YouTube. There's no concern about rootkit anti-cheat or anything, and so far my experience has been almost anything on Steam will run in Linux without having to do anything. She'll run into performance issues with her current hardware before she hits any games that aren't compatible.

This is a great suggestion. Especially the not breaking it part.

My daughter is very Linux curious but she's not going to want to learn anything about it. She just wants to play games and chat with friends. I'll probably switch her when I upgrade and pass my current computer down.
