if you've worked with a proprietary codebase at all, you can not be let even close to a reimplementation or it's legally not clean-room

That is incorrect though. The idea behind clean room is in the name: if you take even the same idea, write a spec, and SOMEONE ELSE does a different implementation, you're fine. The someone else here is AI. And no, AI output is not patentable nor IP infringement, unless there is a case I missed something. Adobe is extremely litigious, so they haven't made a move yet. They have no case.

    I still remember the geek vs nerd facebook quiz. Gosh I forgot how iphone ushered this era of enshittification. Although, having super AI focused with the few, not sure this is a better future. Even the unabomber wrote about this.

    Just get the cheapest OEM, Bosgame M5. I know "cheapest" is in quotes. But again, it is the cheapest 128GB unified vram device you can get right now. I got mine at pre-orders, so yes, more than a year and a half ago, prices were a steal. Also, great desktop (mini) PC overall and very efficient, even if you don't want to do AI.

    It depends on your hardware. But right now the "cheapest" hardware you can buy for a usable setup, is the strix halo (128GB), and run gufo with qwen 3.8 flash next (Q4XL). It is sonnet 5 level. Very good speed (both prefill 1000+ and decode 50+), with up to 256k context.

    I have it set up with omp + searxng. Sometimes with hermes. Really good! It changes the game for local setup.

    You're joking, but it's the same with popular"minority" religion like islam. It's funny to hear people cherry picking the most sanitized opinions of western scholars interpretation of non-verified text about something slightly mentioned in passed (like the mukhannath) and totally ignore all the obvious issues staring you in the face (woman as 2nd class citizens, treatment of lgbt, etc ...).

    I think every religion comes with a dessert, I am just not why we need to sign up for the whole package. I'd rather pick and choose what makes sense and what not. But most of the religions are either the whole package or none. And this is very true for Islam in particular.

    I am curious what are the things that are so special there that you like? Is it the history how hijab became a practice (Umar literally sexually harrassing women who went to take a shit, so that "allah" forces mohamed to institute the hijab)? Or the reason why adoption is banned, ie mohamed marrying his daughter in law after manipulating his adopted son to divorce her, after he saw her naked (that's actually a story in the quran itself)? Read up on those actual stories backed up the hadith and renowed scholars, crazy shit.

    It's not the nice things that annoy me about religion, it's all the hidden fine details that are buried on page 120 of a 1000 terms and conditions.
