I run my agents in a docker container

how easy is it for them to get out?

I wish he was still making posts.
boppo1··on Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter
lol they made a movie about this called minority report.
boppo1··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Have you tried qwen 27b q4_K_XL? It's a little bigger than the 4080 but not too much

Have you considered this may never happen? What if datacenters continue to swallow all capacity?
boppo1··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
>can train insainly powerful models on my laptop

Can you give an example or two?

boppo1··on The 'papers, please' era of the internet will decimate your privacy
>Tech companies should ignore it and just publicly name whoever attempts to prosecute them

The most powerful tech companies are in favor of this.

boppo1··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Didn't the Combine give humans immortality?
boppo1··on Alan Greenspan has died
I took multiple econ classes in college. Just because it's in the books doesn't mean it's true. Not to mention some of the books we studied were contributed to by people involved in the interventionist monetary regime. LIRP scooped the guts out of the middle class & handed it to the tech industry and I've seen nothing convincing to the contrary. Expecting everyday people to learn about inflation and manage a portfolio to try and make sure their earnings aren't eroded is borderline class-war. And I'm no socialist.

>That in aggregate makes the economy much worse.

Does it really? A lot of our problems seem to stem from conspicuous consumption. People will still need things (food shelter clothing) and that will motivate purchasing. "Oh n0es people won't buy flavor of the month consumer garbage, what ever will we do" just doesn't track.

How did a guy who wrote that "gold and economic freedom" wind up running two decades of LIRP?
boppo1··on Alan Greenspan has died
I always wondered how someone who wrote that could go on to chair the fed with LIRP policies that fueled crazy asset bubbles.
boppo1··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
What about blender?
boppo1··on Running local models is good now
I have almost your system specs, how do they work for non-coding stuff like chat/knowledge/discussion? I've been using models to talk through social stuff I'm anxious about but dont want to annoy my friends with and it's been amazing, but I don't want to share that info with google/openai/anthropic anymore. I shouldn't have in the first place, but I couldn't help it, the exercise was too interesting.
boppo1··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
Why mitochondria?
boppo1··on Noise infusion banned from statistical products published by Census Bureau
Wouldnt that hurt the conservative cause though?
boppo1··on Open source AI must win
I agree. But this won't happen in the US because Anthropic / OpenAI is a big ol economic recession risk because we levered ourselves to the tits and put our chips on them.
boppo1··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
The US will try to ban them, for being too dangerous or for being an IP violation[0] of some companies we've deemed too big to fail.

[0] lmao how ironic

Yes, I want that 'super weapon' in everyone's hands. Better than the hands of a few. Same thing as literacy. I believe in the power of the do-gooders to overwhelm the do-badders.
boppo1··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
I pay for codex & claude. Both out-code me but I'm a novice. Fable is really good and shockingly capable. But they're still dumb as hell in various ways. They're faster than the best humans but they are not better problem solvers, especially for novel stuff like implementing SOTA 3D boolean algorithms in Blender.
boppo1··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
This take feels a little like the clergy saying printing presses are dangerous because people will read bad things and spread bad ideas. Turns out they totalky did, but on net it's a small price to pay for widespread literacy.

>Kind of taking this a step further, what is the worst thing that an AI run amok could do to existentially threaten the human race?

Probably convincing humans that untrue things are true. Think less "AI launches nukes" and more "AI convinces people in country A that country B is trying to subvert & destroy them, while it does the same for country B wrt A."

AI is often better than therapy as reported by users. Therapy has some inherent dark-patterns that AI doesn't have yet, like the therapist's financial incentive to trickle a solution to your problem to preserve their income.

2A people don't want the right to carry a musket, they want the right to those same superdrones. You are framing their desires in bad faith.

More than you'd think but it'd get unbelievably ugly. Reign of terror would look like a cakewalk.

No but lots of republicans vote for them actually hoping for smaller less interventionary government, believe it or not. The voters that give them power do not view it as that euphemism.

It's a fairy tale, but they do believe/hope for it.

boppo1··on Core PPI up 9.6% annualized (0.8% MoM) in May
Nah, voting doesn't work because to become a candidate necessarily requires backroom dealing at odds with the interests of common voters.

We need sortition.

Thank you!

I saw 'medical physicist' and wondered what you do. Thank you for 'a bit more context', I care! Very interesting stuff. Did you attend medical school + a physics program?

>"it just works", completely by luck What does your validation function look like for this? Whenever stuff "just works" for me I get a little nervous until I determine why.

Is the system prompt available somewhere? Can it be modified?
