  • They also mentioned that they are waiting to confirm if the lora models trained on 0.9 are working with 1.0. In my opinion, anything that was trained on 0.9 should not be holding up a major release.

    Earth reaches hottest day ever recorded 3 days in a row

  • As part of the hajj, the entire community travels to various points in and around the city. One of the points that's only for a few days is in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside the official boundaries of the city of Makkah. When they are in the tent (it's a fancy tent, air conditioned but with zero privacy with 20 other guys), the bathrooms there are communal, which in turn are not the cleanest in the world. Most of them are the eastern squatty potty style. Let's just say not going there for a poop seems very tempting. The counter to it is, most of the food there is free, and it is really good.... So it's a very delicate balance to say the least.

    This is all speculation on my part, given the timing of it. For all we know it could be some weird kinky camping thing the guy is into!

  • He's probably out on the Hajj, they travel to some of the key points by train. The bathroom facilities are not ideal and that's why he is asking for ways to trim down his poop times.

  • Genuinely interested and want to get educated on this - is the idea that each individual has a male and female spirits (and gender is a spectrum on that scale)? How did the First Nations people determine how to divide the traditional gender roles, for example who the hunters chasing the prey are and who stays back to take care of the young ones? Or are these two seperated topics that are mixed up in my head?

  • If I had to guess, given the timing of this, he's probably on the Hajj. Around this time 1.5 million Muslims make a pilgrimage to fulfill one of the main tenants of the religion, to make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Makkah. This is tied to Eid that's coming in a few days.

    Where I suspect this ties in is, one of the steps in this journey is to stay in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside of Makkah. The bathroom facilities are lacking at best, specially if you are used to clean western style sitting toilets. It's not uncommon for people to walk back to their hotels and take care of business and walk back to their tents. Depending on where the hotel is and where your tent is, this could be a half hour to an hour walk. Let's just say if someone is very particular about the throne and is situated far from the hotel, fasting and going without food to reduce poop frequency seems like a very attractive option.

    In my experience, the bathrooms for the American and Canadian tents weren't too bad to use in a pinch. And I was blessed that my hotel was only a 15 mins walk, so my wife and I would walk over every morning, take a nice shower and freshen up and walk back (there is a recommended time requirement on how much of each day you can spend outside the boundary of the city). The food there was too tempting for me to go with the no poop route this brave soul is embarking on. (For context, they would have fresh squeezed juices, lamb and rice dishes as big as small cars, teas, coffees, and the sweets were amazing.... And it was all free!).

  • This sounds like you're on the hajj and don't want to use the crappy bathrooms and wait till you're in the hotel to poop. I would say drink lots of water, have some nuts and dates, drink some of the juices, stay away from rice and meat dishes. Enjoy the experience while you're there!
