Is Usenet still reliable, am I missing the right way to use it?
  • This is the answer. There are free indexes out there like https://binsearch.info but thanks to automated DMCA takedown bots, there's very little on "open" usenet that stays up for long. You need to get on a private index and, unfortunately, pay for a subscription to get any kind of reliability.

  • Best handheld for GameBoy catalog?
  • Original GB/GBC resolution was 160x144, which you're just plain not going to find a perfect integer match for. You'll have to either settle for interpolation or black bars around all 4 sides. I guess the least-worst panel would be 1280x720, because at least that would perfectly fill the panel vertically at 5x integer scaling with just large pillarboxes.

  • [Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.
  • Because it's much less likely for men to get a UTI in the first place, it's much more likely that if they have one, that it's not a simple "throw some bactrim at it and it will go away" situation. With a male UTI, there's a higher chance that the UTI is in fact a symptom of a more serious issue, rather than the issue itself. And determining that requires diagnostics that are beyond the scope of what can be done at a minute clinic.

  • US says Wagner coup is ‘real’ and ‘serious’ as White House consults allies
  • Lol, because that's how Russian warlords operate. "No, it's cool, I'll just chill here and not invade anybody".

    Prigozhin is as bad (if not worse) than Putin. The rest of the world would be no safer with him running Russia. Best-case scenario is that this bullshit destabilizes the country to the point that Putin is deposed, somebody rational takes the lead, and they agree to cease all operations in Ukraine in exchange for western assistance putting down the Wagner rebellion. It'll take all of a week to stomp out Wagner, if Russia allows the rest of the world to do it.

  • MPT-30B: Raising the bar for open-source, commercially available foundation AI/LLMs
  • After some fiddling, I was finally able to get this model to load. Protip: you need to add "--forceversion 500" to the command line args.

    However, it went OOM when trying to process an 8k prompt. 32GB RAM is just barely not enough. Waiting on more RAM to test it properly.

  • What do you feel like life will be like on earth in 100 years?
  • Big same. I've spent the last 30 years arguing (and voting) for sustainable policies and environmental regulations, but what little progress has been made is woefully insufficient. I did my best, but obviously humanity doesn't actually want to survive.
