I still cling on to the quaint idea that "upvote" means "adds meaningfully and coherently to the discussion", while "downvote" means the opposite. So not "I agree with this" or "that made me chuckle" but rather "this enhances the conversation" - and especially if it's a well written argument I disagree with because that might make me learn or rethink my position. Humour in a well argued point is very welcome, of course.
Wish and reality aren't in alignment here but some places like HN or /r/AskHistorians are my refuges.
There's always been a general pushback on HN against turning threads into a series of quippy oneliners. It tends toward having a serious discussion about a topic, rather than farming low-effort humour for upvotes. I consider this a good thing, as there are plenty of other places where that is rewarded.
An AMD AI max+ 395 - I use the one from frame.work (https://frame.work/de/en/desktop) with 128GB unified RAM and it can run a 120b model (gpt-oss:120b) just fine.
