I get about the same speed (35 tok/s) out of 13B Llama2 on a 4070 Ti, FWIW.


uBlock is great for this sort of stuff. I also use it to hide the Hot Network Questions on Stack Overflow. I often get distracted by those.


Huh, I'd forgotten unclosed p-tags were a thing.


I wasn't aware you can see what others are watching. How does one do that?


On a live stream there's chat and in the "..." menu you can click to see participants.


What the hell?!?!


I think you need to have posted something in the chat for your account to appear there


yeah - add to that the Google AUTH with location records, and you get the New New Tech scene


But extrapolating from one HN commenter onto the entire zeitgeist is acceptable to you?


Direct question. Do you agree with the aforementioned commenter and why or why not.


I always read libreboot as "lib reboot".


The amount of times I've mispronounced a project name in real life...


Another one sort of related is hachoir, and specifically the hachoir-metadata script: https://github.com/vstinner/hachoir


>"Cryptocurrencies are essentially neither money nor a financial product, but an example of what Nobel laureate Robert Shiller calls a 'contagious narrative': a contagious story in which people believe because other people believe in it."

How is this different from money or the financial markets? Why do those continue to exist if not for the belief we collectively have in them? And why is that only a problem for bitcoin?


> How is this different from money or the financial markets?

A big difference is that the sovereign requires you to pay taxes in a given currency at the threat of punishment. So long as everyone needs to pay the taxman, the currency that the tax man accepts is gonna have at least some value.


Only to the tax man...

There have been and still are(?) economies where the local currency was only used for 'official' business, and most trade was carried out in another, more stable currency.


They can make this difference disappear by accepting bitcoin then.


Taxes will still be calculated in the local currency, not in BTC.


Because the Netherlands make significant money from funnelling money to their tax havens. If people can do it themselves with bitcoin, how are these tax-pros supposed to live? /s


Uh, yes? All of those. What do you do, hope a salesperson in a retail store doesn't rip you off?


There's no visible teal/cyan anywhere for me. These are my Firefox Color settings: https://color.firefox.com/?theme=XQAAAAJAAQAAAAAAAABBqYhm849...

I've hidden the tab bar, though, so there will likely still be an accent there.


The links in the address bar dropdown is teal/cyan for me: https://i.imgur.com/NfOavJ7.png
