One year ago, not even Republicans called communism a problem. It was not and is not a problem, it is only a way for Republicans to scare the stupidest voters. For decades, the Kremlin was the center of communist power. Trump continues to help Putin, the Kremlin's ruler, while Putin helps Iranians kill Americans. Trump is having a friendly meeting with the ruler of communist China. Trump is a friend to the ruler of communist North Korea. Notice a pattern?

Yes, you can download and use a “local LLM” to help protect your privacy.
But think of all the stolen work and privacy violations it took to create the model in the first place… and how much electricity and water was wasted to make it available to you!
It’s still horrible for creators and for the Earth.

@pixxl @davidgerard I get all my news from my SUPER INTELLIGENCE. I used my SUPER INTELLIGENCE to resolve an argument with my partner last night. I won the argument but now I'm in a romantic relationship with my SUPER INTELLIGENCE instead.

So tempted to just use a different microphone in every video just as a gag, but I really do need to settle on one approach and just get into better practice with it. 😝
Besides microphone technique (or lack thereof) hydration has been a surprisingly big factor in the audio quality so far. I can easily tell the from my recorded voice when I was less well hydrated. More mouth noises, clicks, and there's a stickiness to the voice.

I just released avash: https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/avash/
It’s like blurhash but uses av1 frame data encode an image, resulting in a (typically) more readable image in the same bytes as a blurhash.
