Oh it definitely is, but I played KOTOR dozens of times as a kid

RIP to an amazing creative group

Real question, if Creatine is actually this good, what product specifically are people using?

Something about the energy comparison of a cotton bag vs a plastic bag seems mathematically off, not really taking into account the costs of petroleum extraction/war to maintain extraction forever

Great story; it's amazing how many of us sympathize with or have had an Aaron in our lives.

This is the homelab model hands down

Meta, please just release a cheaper version without cameras!

I have become dependent on ambient lofi where I can still hear everyone around me to keep me focused without missing anything happening around me.

I honestly expect that major advances in the open 30B dense space will take about a year, but expect incremental advances every couple of months from different developers in the meantime.

Qwen 3.6 27B was already a massive gift to smaller homelabs around the world; anything more is just a delightful surprise.

Everything about this situation is comedic, but if it leads to a real and meaningful step forward in learning, I suppose it's a net positive.

Wild how it only took 2 years of a dementia ridden corpse king to fundamentally gut America's global power indefinitely

I'm so glad exciting releases like this are still going to have components with open weights like Qwen 3.8 27B dense

Interesting to see XTEINK here; hopefully it means they will be more open to community software initiatives.

Image generation is the least interesting and most concerning aspect of AI.

I see lots of useful tools made related to translation and code generation, but image generation seems to be primarily used to deceive, harass, or embelish to the point of questioning what the point of a photo is anymore anyway?

-I am keenly aware of so many environmental warming triggers that indicate irreversible exponential climate change acceleration in 2030.

-There is nothing I can do; everyone in power to do something is corrupt and actively working to accelerate it.

-I have forseen death on scales beyond your wildest dreams so much sooner than you think

I think this is a pivotal moment for LLMs.

Gemma 4 and Qwen3.6 27B aren't perfect, yet they are such a step forward from the previous generation that it's both feasible to get stuff done locally with patience and very likely that future releases will subvert cloud capabilities entirely.

Plus, they have definite reliability advantages over cloud models that can be wiped out by a government order or lobotomized to handle traffic surges.

I previously had a passing interest in Flux, now I'm certain it's a fraud.
