If you select with care you can get fully-functional abliterated models. There are good abliterated Qwen 3.8 27B models and quantized versions thereof. Heretic Grimoire models are a good starting point.

I mean there's deathloop ... not saying it's anywhere near as good.

It does seem like immersive sim is gone, but it feels like it's influence lives on in BG3 and Elden Ring. The best games these days try hard to hide the rails.

Has abliteration/decensoring been at all useful or relevant in your setup?

I have downloaded a number of abliterated models and done very brief tests on them (just to check for basic functionality) but on local models I have yet to run into refusals or output where I thought it might make sense to retry with an abliterated model. It was more out of a precaution that NV might drop those models from HF.

FWIW, imitation is flattery -- enclose.horse is done, I left the daily game weeks ago after they started phoning in slop daily designs. This is a cheap move but it shouldn't make a difference to your audience.

Lol, binance wins because of volume. Crypto traders see cex security risks as the price of doing business, they're not going anywhere.

ish. the 'we don't need no gubmint interference in our currency' crew certainly seem happy to have gubmint help in sorting this mess out.

Yes but given the dominance (and vulnerability) of CEXes, assets are often effectively frozen after a big theft.

I wonder what compels her, rekt etc to keep covering crypto shenanigans. If by now you don't already think crypto is corrupt, web3isgoinggreat is not going to change your mind.

Crypto is a house of cards in general, even economically. The systemic risk surrounding restaking in particular is jaw dropping.

Most things in crypto aren't ever tested because the big players know they'd all lose if the faults were exploited.

This is irrelevant for large accounts operated by market makers, wallets for rebalancing portfolios for derivatives etc.

Was Tandy only EU? In the TRS-80 days the name came up a lot, although maybe just because of the acronym ... 6809E was a good time

Yes, that was the first time I had a 'proper' processor to play with. A Dragon 32 (CoCo clone from the UK).

I've never seen Tandy used outside of Europe but then again, I had not traveled as much then as now so it's definitely possible they used the brand on other continents as well. I wonder how many trees were cut for those catalogs :)

It was only a difference in the store names. They were sold at Radio Shack stores in US. Tandy, originally a leather company, bought Radio Shack in the 60s).

And AU. Dick Smith started out selling Tandy's, before switching to their own clones.
