They already did two years ago. They have better things to do than to take part in this circus.

No, he was either going to lose to a bin or get back in the commons and have the investigation continue. Now it will continue. So no, playing along at his stupid games is what would normalise it. They will run at the next election in a few months.

They didn't though. The other parties didn't run, so most of their supporters didn't vote. They got a lot more votes in total at the general election.

They will run for the next election in a few months - the investigation has just resumed.

Or maybe they want to see the rest of the investigation!

Can it run inside docker? Can it use an arbitrary openai endpoint? Thanks!

I'll keep an eye out for you in the next thread on the male loneliness epidemic.

I think the idea is that you'll go to the check out with several items and only present some of them and then skip the one that is expensive. If you just walk out of the store several times with items you haven't paid for, they might catch and ban you immediately.

Reminds me of Stephen Wolfram "discovering" things in the sense that other people would say "today I learnt".

> He definitely was debanked for political reasons and not because he was laundering money.

No, if this was serious, it would read "he was definitely debanked for political reasons. He was not laundering money". Or even better, it would have deflected and claimed something unrelated about Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton.

Although I have to grudgingly accept that not everybody is fluent in sarcasm.

I think that's because he doesn't have those powers. He only wields them on behalf of Congress, which has decided not to defend that which belongs to it.

Putting an anti-vax conspiracy theorist in charge of health is not the way to do it.

Congratulations on your humour bypass! I hear it's a difficult surgery. You must have had a good surgeon.

Oh yes, everything changes when you have kids. You can't negotiate with your wife, you need to trap her into doing what you want.

No, I think the other posts in the thread show that the experience is not universal.

Yes, and somehow commuting week after week is so much better than having a conversation with your wife. It's not like the kids just stop existing when you're commuting. The solution is there, but it can't be used unless you're suffering.

Hello Tom Riddle! I wanted to do something like this with my pinenote a while ago, but then lost interest. My idea was to write down equations and draw diagrams of maths problems and have it solve things for me.

I find it depends at what stage I'm at with the idea - sometimes I don't want to understand it until it works, because I've wasted enough life on things that didn't do what was promised. But once I know the idea is feasible, yes I would prefer to understand the code at some level.

Thanks for that, it's the level I like to work too - what model/quant are you using? How much vram/context and which coder?
