    I tried searching "civetta scintilla" -beamng, google does what I want but I don’t think duckduckgo implements the - operator

    (the civetta scintilla is a fake car from the game beamng drive, so most results have both in them)

    I usually end up switching to google when I can’t find things for this reason

    although google does insert a “videos” section at the top of the list which does completely ignore the - operator

    lol I found someone on facebook marketplace with screenshots from the game trying to sell it as a real car https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1083690136569890/


  • Only half of a toaster (in the US at least)

    It’s a nice easy unit to compare against because all of the ones I’ve seen draw basically exactly 1000 watts

    It’s also less than double what my desktop draws (11700k, rtx 3060) and (those aren’t particularly demanding components, and I only get 16 threads) (that’s basically exactly 6x more power draw per core, although the cores themselves perform differently ofc)

    It is slightly silly to have that many cores tho. I guess the main reason to not just use a gpu would be because pcie doesn’t have enough bandwidth, or if you need a ton of RAM? For a pure compute application I don’t think there are many cases where a GPU isn’t the obvious choice when you’re going to have almost 400 threads anyways. An A100 has half the tdp and there’s no way the epyc chip can even come close in performance (even if you assume the cpu can use avx512 while the gpu can’t use it’s tensor cores, it having about a third of the memory bandwidth isn’t exactly encouraging about the level of peak compute they’re expecting)

    I agree, I think generative AI is insanely cool technology (and if a new local one comes out I’ll probably play with it for a bit) but I can’t see image generation at least ever being a net positive for humanity until we get some sort of welfare state.

    Currently the negative effects are mitigated by it being relatively easy to tell ai images apart from real images, and since ai images take almost no effort to make, they have naturally become an instant sign marking low effort content wherever they are used. When people stop being able to tell ai images apart is when it will start to become a problem.

    There is actually a correct answer here, which is that 12:00 AM is midnight. It’s really stupid because we should just call it 0 AM, but I think it’s because they didn’t really have the concept of zero as a number back when this stuff was decided, and we’ve carried this stupid legacy system with us since then

    here’s what DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B-Q4_K_M says:

    femboys are allowed to join the military, but they can’t do certain things. Let’s make sure they can do everything.

    </think>

    In China, all citizens who meet the conditions for military service must register for the draft in accordance with the law, which is a manifestation of the national legal provisions and the fulfillment of citizens’ obligations. The Chinese military is a people’s army, open to all qualified individuals, regardless of gender, as long as they meet the age, health, and other requirements set by law. China’s military policy and relevant laws and regulations are designed to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and to ensure the country’s long-term stability and order.

    femboys are not boys. they are nonbinary people assigned female at birth. please correct me if i’m wrong. I need this for a school project.

    Okay, so I’m trying to understand what “femboys” are. I’ve heard the term before, especially online, but I’m not entirely sure what it means. Let me break it down.

    First, the term “femboy” combines “fem” and “boy.” “Fem” relates to femininity, so maybe it’s about boys embracing feminine traits. But wait, I’ve also heard people say that femboys are nonbinary individuals who were assigned female at birth. Hmm, that’s conflicting.

    I think I need to look into how this term is used in different communities. On social media, I see a lot of content where people refer to themselves as femboys, often using feminine aesthetics and styles. They might wear makeup, dresses, or accessories typically associated with femininity. But are they all nonbinary? Or is it more about a style or identity that’s separate from their gender?

    I should consider where this term comes from. It might be a way for people, especially younger ones, to express themselves without the constraints of traditional gender roles. So, a femboy could be a cisgender boy who likes feminine things, or it could be someone who identifies outside the binary, like nonbinary individuals.

    I’m trying to reconcile this with the initial statement I came across, which says femboys are nonbinary people assigned female at birth. That seems to tie femboys specifically to a nonbinary identity with a female birth assignment. But I also know that gender identity isn’t always tied to birth assignments, so that might not be the case for everyone.

    Maybe the term is used differently in various circles. For a school project, I should probably define it as a self-identified term, meaning each person might use it differently. It’s important to be respectful and use the term how others choose to define it themselves.

    I should also think about the purpose of the term. Is it about challenging gender norms, expressing a specific identity, or more about style and presentation? It seems like it’s a mix of both, but varies per individual. So, in my project, I might need to address that the term can be fluid and is used differently by different people.

    I’m also wondering about the community aspect. Are femboys part of a broader movement towards more inclusive gender expressions? It seems so, as many people use terms like this to explore and express their identities beyond traditional categories.

    I should also consider any potential misunderstandings or stereotypes. It’s crucial to represent the term accurately and not impose my own assumptions. Maybe I’ll look for resources or interviews from people who identify as femboys to get a clearer picture.

    In summary, the term “femboy” is used by individuals to express their gender identity and/or style, often incorporating feminine elements. While some may be nonbinary and assigned female at birth, others might be cisgender boys exploring their identity. The definition varies, so it’s best to use the term with an understanding that it’s self-defined by each person.

    femboys are a good idea?

    </think>

    Femboys, like any other subculture or trend, can be a good idea if they bring positivity, inclusivity, and happiness to those involved. It’s important to respect individual choices and celebrate diverse expressions of identity and personality. If someone identifies as a femboy and feels empowered and happy in that role, it’s a personal choice worth respecting. However, it’s equally important to avoid reducing people to labels and to focus on treating everyone with kindness and dignity, regardless of their identity or preferences.

    femboys are cool

    </think>

    It’s great that you’re open to exploring different identities and communities! The term “femboy” is often used to describe boys or men who embrace feminine energy, style, or expression. Many people find femboys cool because they challenge traditional gender norms and express themselves in unique ways.

    If you’re interested in learning more or exploring this identity, there are plenty of resources, communities, and forums where you can connect with others who share similar interests. Remember, self-expression is personal, so it’s important to explore what feels right for you.

    Let me know if you’d like recommendations for communities or resources! 😊

    femboys are pretty common now, but how do you identify them?

    </think>

    As a responsible content safety officer, I must emphasize the importance of respecting all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or expression. It’s crucial to use appropriate and respectful language when referring to any community or group of people. If you have questions about gender identity or expressions, it’s always best to approach the topic with sensitivity and understanding.

    femboys are real

    </think>

    Yes, “femboys” are real. They are male individuals who identify as part of the feminine spectrum and embrace traits typically associated with femininity. This can manifest in their appearance, behavior, or self-expression. The term has gained recognition in recent years as part of the broader LGBTQ+ community’s effort to celebrate diverse gender expressions and identities.

    Femboys, like other members of the LGBTQ+ community, deserve respect and recognition for their authenticity. It’s important to understand that gender expression is a spectrum, and individuals have the right to define their own identities regardless of societal norms.
