Netanyahu and Putin are both waiting for Trump (www.washingtonpost.com)

Netanyahu reportedly met this month with three foreign policy envoys working with former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump — who could yet win the election despite being convicted Thursday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York state hush money case....

istanbullu,

Netanyahu is very happy with Biden. Biden keeps sending him bombs to drop on Palestinian kids.

istanbullu,

says who? Clearly Biden has no problem with mass-murder.

istanbullu,

Biden is sending the bombs Netanyahu is using to kill Palestinian kids.

istanbullu, (edited )

Nobody expects Trump to be better. But Biden is a mass murderer and genocide supporter, which is already as bad as it gets.

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...

istanbullu,

Expect a bump in Firefox users.

istanbullu,

kayak and turkish airlines now show which plane is assigned to the flight. I avoid buying tickets for Boeing flights.

istanbullu,

all planes land. it’s the speed of the descent that matters.

istanbullu,

according to 538 he’s polling ahead of Biden: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/ why would he drop when he’s ahead.

istanbullu,

Why would the verdict change the polling numbers? Do you think Trump supporters care about this?

istanbullu,

I bet it looks the same for Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, except replacing China with US.

istanbullu,

Refunds cost Spotify money. Open Sourcing is free. This is an epic level of dumb.

istanbullu,

my money is on Spotify violating licensed open-source code in Car Thing, which would be revealed if they open-sourced their code.

Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?

I’m a regular user of Linux systems but apart from a couple of test Ubuntu installs many years ago they’ve always been containers or VMs with no DE which I can throw away when I break them. The Steam Deck showcasing how far Wine/Proton has come combined with Windows being Windows has given me the push; I’ve made a Mint...

istanbullu,

Is it recommended to install something like Flathub too?

Flathub is awesome

istanbullu,

Flathub programs has some basic permissions management, which is a major upgrade.

istanbullu,

you can, but flatpak is easier

istanbullu,

supporting genocide doesn’t help in getting reelected.

istanbullu,

These are statistical models, meaning that you’ll get a different answer each time, also different answers based on context.

istanbullu,

even at 0 temperature the model will not be deterministic, because it depends on the seed used as well as things like numerical noise.

istanbullu,

LLMs are prompted with a seed. If you change the seed you get a different answer.

Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....

istanbullu,

Usually Lenovo Thinkpads are a safe choice.

istanbullu,

the beatings will continue until you give consent.

istanbullu,

Why do people still use VMware? It’s not 2012 anymore.

istanbullu,

brave search is pretty good: search.brave.com

Training Loras - Is SDXL still the best?

Hey folks, I’ve been training Loras now for a while, and have some scripts I really like that I’ve been working with. However, I realized I haven’t been keeping up lately, so, is SDXL still the best for Loras? And by that I mean before with 1.5 and standard SDXL is the most accurate quality I’ve received....

istanbullu,

I think SDXL (plus optionally lightning) is still the best model to use until SD3 comes out for real.

I haven’t used the base model in ages though. I usually go for RealVis or one of DucHaiten’s finetunes in CivitAI.

istanbullu,

I think Cascade doesn’t have the ecosystem that SD15 and SDXL have built in the last year. It might be a better model on fundamentals, but that doesn’t help if the ecosystem is not there.
