Wish I could do that. But I only have the one graphics card. Ollama does a decent job at hotswapping models but I can go much faster with llama.cpp trouble is llama.cpp doesn't like sharing vram. It is all or crash. I'd have to actually start and stop the process with different models. Might as well just use qwen3.8 27b for everything.
In practice I am using cursor $20/mo for real development.

4.5 to 5 billion children were born in that sane time frame. We could have had 50% more memes on Nostr.

According to a google search summary (I know) 2.5 billion humans have died during my lifetime. When including abortions, that number basically doubles. 2.3 billion estimated.
That is horrifying. We abort the equivalent of the entire population of the UK every year.

Lots of organs have electric action so connecting via midi is either not to hard or already built in. But yeah, you could get the effect by mixing the output of multiple pipes.
I am not saying that it is impossible. Just that it is a very unusual sound for a pipe organ. Though I am not sn expert. I don't have a very good musical ear.

Not entirely sure myself. But I think it works a bit like.
A is the rule
B is not A
B is plainly a broken case of A
All exceptions of A being broken cases of A and not some other category is evidence that A is in fact a rule.

Everyone knows what ai is. SI is either Sports Illustrated, the Sacroiliac joint, or Système international d'unités. No, I think I'll just call it ai and twitter.

Luckily, I don't think my house has any such boxes, I once helped my brother-in-law replace a bathroom fan. No breaker could cut the power to it. I eventually found a combination of two completely unrelated breakers that could turn it off. I even eventually found the offending box. It was laying loose in the ceiling of the bathroom about 5 ft from the fan. No access panel. I guess at least both circuits were from the same 120v leg. It could have been worse.

If you've got fantasies of separate circuits in one box, there's a circle of hell you might like.

I'd be much more suspicious of what ever is going on in a wire nut especially after having to shove it back forcefully to get a dimmer to fit. The whole thing need to be reworked. I should be able to snap whatever I want into the box like a breaker in a breaker box.

He spoke Aramaic. He called Peter Kepha. It doesn't mean pebble. I can't help disingenuous readings of scripture to gymnastics out of having to submit to the Church Christ founded. If you don't want to be Catholic, fine. But at least admit that Jesus probably meant what he said and didn't speak in a broken disjointed way where he keeps switching meanings and metaphors within a single passage.

Why didn't I know about these!! I hate wire nuts, especially with 12 awg. I had to jam 6 of them into a double gang box, because whoever wired my house and whoever inspected it where both grossly incompetent. I just wanted to swap out 2 kitchen recepticles with something that wouldn't let plugs fall out. It took 2 hours to do a 5 minute job because someone thought 2 inches of wire is enough and did a bunch of questionable connections between the devices.
Wire nuts with 3 or more conductors never are confidence inspiring.

As a debatably wise man once said. "I did a thing!"

If it helps any. I have also been known to Cheer for U of M when they aren't play Notre Dame, and since moving I have discovered that there exist a fair number of people who think that stands for the University of Minnesota. They all live in Minnesota and they are all wrong. People from Illinois don't have much to celebrate but I bet they at least think Wolverines when hearing the moniker.

Just because a school sells out their faith for money doesn't mean they have any shame. In fact I detected almost none.

Lol. I am from Mi, but I didn't become a Lions fan until I moved to MN to get Married. We didn't have a TV growing up, but my wife sure did and is Vikings through and through. I became a die-hard Lions fan in a reactionary way. I think I could easily name at least two members of their active roster. (If under duress and given time)

You'd think so. But sometimes you state the blindingly obvious for the 50th time and still get back something like "The reason Jesus called Peter 'Rock' was to remind everyone that Peter wasn't the rock.", and you begin to doubt whether anything is real.

I got voice calls working on the Surface Book. Video, not so much. Turns out Microsoft didn't write any linux drivers for their custom camera hardware. Grok happily wrote one for me.
The funny thing is that it worked super hard on it until it actually took a picture which came out garbled. Since then it has been depressed or something. Just giving short answers to my questions and doing no work. I finally got it to rewrite the kernel module to sweep through all possible settings for the camera. We'll see how that goes.

True, the battery cannot charge below freezing. But the car has ways of managing that so in effect it works fine. The issue in the case you mentioned is that people did not follow instructions. Tesla specifically tells you to set the supercharger as a destination so the car can use motor heat to warm the battery enough to accept a charge. People showed up with cold and nearly empty batteries that couldn't warm themselves, because the heater (motor) wasn't active. So the plugged in and the car rightly did nothing. Charging at those temps will kill the battery.
Tesla fixed it with a software update though. They taught the car to shiver. Basically they run current through the motor in a way that is intentionally useless. It doesn't move, but it gets hot. That wams the battery enough to charge the car.

I am not sure what is going on. The Olympics have me remembering watching the US dominate speed skating a few years back only to discover that Dan Jansen and Bonnie Blaire retired in 1994-95. 32 YEARS AGO!!
