I grabbed the Moza R3. Just casual iRacing stuff. It’s perfect. Feels real and not like a plastic toy.

Same. It was “Well, WTF do we do with this now?”

…and then dad took it and discovered simracing in VR…

My brother in laws dad was a judge for 30+ years in a southern state.

Never went to law school. Just sat for the BAR exam for the hell of it, passed, and the rest is baffling to me.

Maybe I’ve been lucky but always gotten along with people, been prudent, and never had issues.

Lived in major cities. Been in the military. It’s pretty easy to just be cool.

 

tl;dr - Mac is 2x faster on a 1b model. Goes down in flames and is 1/2 as fast at 2b models.

I started running models of 1b, 2b, and 20b on an AMD, no GPU, 32gb ram. The Mac M2 only has 8gb ram. The Mac was using 4 cores and GPU heavily.

I tried Debian minimal and PopOS standard and saw no significant difference.

These tests have very little worth. It's the holiday. I'm tinkering with what's around the house.

America’s Test Kitchen. All you need. Recipes for nerds.

I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”

How DARE you question a 38+ year old vague memory/impression! So offended! 😉

I never EVER take it for granted that I don’t hate Mondays, count the days to Friday, or loathe my work day.

Next to a great family, it’s the ultimate life win. I’m not sure I deserve it and I’m humbled to have it.

Watching it with wife and son. Haven’t seen it in 20 years. Read books as kid.

Only 45 minutes in and we could barely make ourselves stop (bed time).

That said, I never bothered to finish the 3rd book and I don’t remember the 3rd movie. Turned into a typical war film/book from what I recall. Little interest to me.

I hope my memory is wrong.
