Philosophy, the art of wisdom, dealing with the good life, correct thought and correct action. This is the degree to improve the self.

Does it develop satisfied students? Probably a lot less than something with high-paying clear cut job-outcomes.


I remember when I went to Canada (from Australia). It was snowing outside and many people ansewered their doors with no shirt on as the inside temp was so high!


I've literally never seen this in Canada.


HAHA and I've been to countries where they eat the most disgusting and unnatural two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese and washed down with a sugar liquid of PH2 rotting teeth and guts! Oh my god it was aweful!!!


Monsanto is very aggressive to the environment, the farmers, food heritage and common decency. This twisting of reason and aggression you commit is a serious farce. "Blood libel" WTF??


Monsanto is subject to outrageous politicized libel of the sort you parrot there. For example, your "to the farmers" there is likely a repeat of the brazen lie that they sue farmers for inadvertent GMO contamination.


The planet is warming. Biodiversity is plumetting. By not eating meat we can have FOUR TIMES the food or keep the forests in place as REALLY NICE. Its not just the animals suffering. It will be many of us suffering as we burn the earth to fill our greedy bellies.


I would just liket o say that I think that HN is very diverse. I come here to read tech and progress news. But this is also the best site for reading about culture, ethics and other issues that I can find. All newsmedia eg BBC, Guardian, PBS, ABC, New York Times etc., all have an editorial axe to grind. By listening and discussing here with the very people that make 'progress' and in a real sense shape culture I gain very much and am allowed to have an opinion. Most people here are awesome considerate people and the trolls don't usually stick around very long.

RE: 73% jobs - let the machines do the work so people have time to think - and to create culture - and to progress!! Yay HN, yay progress, yay culture!


"until I realised the show was made in the 1993 – 1998 time frame, years before any of the things it was showing had happened!"

I see the use of the badges and uniforms, for example the NightWatch armbands as a thing that repeats itself in history. For example the Nightwatch armbands are clearly modelled on Nazi uniforms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_symbolism has some other examples


What distro and PC specs do you have success with?


I ran this on my intel i7-7700k with 32 gig ram. It ran very slow. Almost 1 word per second slow. Not sure if I did something wrong. Distro Ubuntu 22.04


running "npx dalai llama" on Fedora 37, AMD 5700G, 16GB RAM, 8GB Swap (Zram), I got some errors including "ERROR: No matching distribution found for torchvision"

I went out of memory while downloading (7B) and it returned

Error: aborted at connResetException (node:internal/errors:711:14) at TLSSocket.socketCloseListener (node:_http_client:454:19) at TLSSocket.emit (node:events:525:35) at node:net:313:12 at TCP.done (node:_tls_wrap:587:7) { code: 'ECONNRESET' }

So would be good to be able to allocate the 7B file, as I already have it from the torrent. Might try it on another distro in a local VM. Any recommendations for best working Linux distro?

Best Regards!
