try looking for telegram channels, there’s some that share courses, but what they share varies

“Oh no! We must protect the poor MPA! The poor organization that’s been hell bent on policing what films and media ought to contain and ensuring the multi-million dollar corporations continue to make their millions in peace!”

~ Denmark’s Ministry of Culture, probably

(nevermind the fact that countries with anti-piracy policies have not ever proved that they “repair” the so-called “market-damage” that they purport piracy has done)

It’s bought as a luxury vehicle in places like the Carribean, in my experience

yep, the “bigger is better” mentality isn’t something new

and DOTA!

Well, I’m still glad offline LLM’s exist. The models we download and store are way less popular then the mainstream, perpetually online ones.

Once I beef up my hardware (which will take a while seeing how crazy RAM prices are), I will basically forgo the need to ever use an online LLM ever again, because even now on my old hardware, I can handle 7 to 16B parameter models (quantized, of course).

Linus Torvalds slams people who think they understand software development, Elon Musk being one of them.

capitalism worked pretty well in the 40’s and 50’s, in the USA, and then the corporate leaders realized that they could be overlords if they just stopped caring about everything but money.

We know kindness and money can coexist, but if little boy jack is taught from day one that if you don’t game the system, you will lose, he’s going to grow up to be Elon Musk.

I mean, even open source LLM’s at the moment can solve somewhat tedious and tricky problems, and just on somewhat mid-tier consumer hardware. Supercomputers exist, and it just seems, with time, breakthroughs are inevitable.

But I will admit, like you say, we have limits, but in the realm of technology, the only real limitations are energy and hardware.

It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.

So yeah, it’s me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.

(and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don’t imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)

If you don’t see AI replacing many roles, yet you know that LLM’s are not what many seem to think they are, text generators and not AGI, then it seems you don’t believe that AGI will ever happen.

Technology will continue to develop for decades and maybe centuries to come. To only see the short term possibilities is to forget how quickly technology advances.

And even just limiting the discussion to the short-term, what makes you think billionaires aren’t taking advantage of the hype and coercing governments to forego safety and regulation? Maximizing profit over enhancing the lives of the common man?

fedora, debian and arch linux user here, and no, as a man, I ain’t rocking thigh-high socks, but if I was a woman, hell yeah I would.

I love doing this.

And Carcentriphobia hasn’t gone far enough!

Just my 2 cents, but I would think abiding by international standards, which cover the environmental concerns of the entire Earth, so to speak, seems a bit much, no? Wouldn’t the environmental concerns differ substantially by country? Not saying that how we treat the environment, people and businesses alike, isn’t similar country to country, but things like % contribution to global carbon emissions might change what a country like India needs to do over what Canada does, right?

I’m more like, I don’t mind how other people clean, but I have a particular way of doing things, like washing dishes with very hot water so that they dry quicker, or stacking them such that all cups, pots, containers, etc . . are standing face down so they drain properly. It’s the little things that bother me, since I worked as a dishwasher for a bit in a couple restaurants, so I actually enjoy doing the dishes overall. But there’s an optimal method to anything.

appears to be from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Surprised I haven’t read that yet, but yeah. That passage seems to be about relationships and status that you’d gain with freedom and choice.

I guess I just fear making a good thing into something tiresome, like how when I use one of my favourite songs as an alarm, I eventually start hating the song I once loved. But then again, I guess finding new ways to see things could prevent this, maybe.

I would imagine a clean install, over just an update from x11 to wayland, might work better, since applications might still expect x11, and fail to render or work properly.

I used gnome with wayland and an Nvidia gpu maybe a couple years back, and it worked pretty well. I’d give it another go. mutter, gnome’s wayland compositor is actually pretty good compared to most others.
