What more recent open weight Qwen release is there?

Because cars are horribly space and energy inefficient, and being self driving doesn't change that.

Qwen 3.6 27b is already a viable default. I'm running it on a single 7900 XTX right now for Go development with pi. It's great.

Or we could improve the United States for people who can't move across the world.

Yes! Let's build dense, walkable destinations around transit stops with regular service.

A lot. Can you be more specific?

Ok. As someone who lives there, I get the impression that the broader population is not interested in more cars on the streets.

Do you think roads are free? Maintaining them? Parking lots? Gasoline / electricity? Required emergency services due to regular catastrophic failures? Cars are way more expensive i…

I do that with my bike or scooter right now. Actually, throw a ferry in there as well and I'm doing an inter-state trip next weekend doing exactly that. So no, quite unlikely.

Getting around Boston is very easy. Flooding the streets with more cars won't make it easier. A government that listens to the people it governs is a good government.

It would make more sense to make them even bigger, and to have one vehicle service many people. Maybe they could even be linked together for efficiency, and put on rails so the sel…

I want trains.

Consider something other than a car. Last year I purchased an electric scooter to complement my car. I ran into mechanical trouble with my car, and it wasn't worth repairing. Inste…

Does it need to be added? I don't think anything legal considers copying theft. Copyright infringement and theft are literally just different crimes. I don't think copyright should…

Copying is not theft.

And, as with most important lessons in programming, welcome to LISP in the 1950s, because that is where Smalltalk got its inspiration. :-)

We should ask some game theorists why the busses are so slow :-)

Exactly. I'm talking about the green bubble vs blue bubble social nonsense that causes people to spend >$1k on a device that they use for talk, text, and basic media functions. It'…

You do understand that coats exist, right? I live in New England. I bought a heated jacket for less than the price of two months of parking.

Selling my car that I fully owned in favor of a nice bicycle and an e-scooter was one of my best financial decisions in the last few years. I don't have to deal with insurance, par…

There are phones that cost a lot less though. 50% of Americans being unable to afford iPhones doesn't mean they should just lease them. People need to stop associating so much pers…

More expensive than the alternative of buying another laptop? That seems like roughly the worst case anyways. Might as well try.

I can't even download and play the game that I purchased in single player mode. The name server doesn't matter for that.
