Unless there’s drama in my updates I don’t particularly care too much about drama.

Someone should make a programming language like Rust, but that doesn’t crash.

iPhone notification summaries were made with GPT3.5 I believe (maybe even the -turbo version).

It doesn’t use reasoning and so when using very short outputs it can produce wild variations since there are not a lot of previous tokens in order to direct the LLM into the appropriate direction in kv-space and so you’re more at the whims of temperature setting (randomly selecting the next token from a SOFTMAX’d list which was output from the LLM).

You can take those same messages and plug them into a good model and get much higher quality results. But good models are expensive and Apple is, for some reason, going for the budget option.

Anyone learning a new language massively benefits from being able to speak with native speakers.

That being said, LLMs are better at languages and translation tasks than any pretty much anything else. If you need vocabulary help or have difficulty with grammar they’re incredibly helpful (vs Googling and hoping someone had the same issue and posted about it on Reddit).

I mean, if you can afford a native speaker tutor that is the superior choice. But, for the average person, an LLM is a massive improvement over trying to learn via YouTube or apps.

I’m not destroying them, I’m installing political speech related signs which happen to block their LOS to the road.

Thanks a ton, saves me having to navigate the slopped up search results (‘AI’ as a search term is SEOd to death and back a few times)

I dunno what card you have now, but hybrid CPU+GPU inference is the trend days.

That system has the 3080 12GB and 64GB RAM but I have another 2 slots so I could go up to 128GB. I don’t doubt that there’s a GLM quant model that’ll work.

Is ollama for hosting the models and LM Studio for chatbot work still the way to go? Doesn’t seem like there’s much to improve in that area once there’s software that does the thing.

I certainly agree that appeasing Trump isn’t going to work.

A thread about death threats on these members isn’t the proper context to bring up that kind of argument.

This situation isn’t a result of them voting on the CR so that comment is, at best, bad taste and at worst a toxic attempt at sowing division.

Yeah, you do want more contextual intelligence than an 8B for this.

Oh yeah, I’m sure. I may peek at it this weekend. I’m trying to decide if Santa is going to bring me a new graphics card, so I need to see what the price:performance curve looks like.

Massive understatement!

I think I stopped actively using image generation a little bit after LoRAs and IP Adapters were invented. I was trying to edit a video (random meme gif) to change the people in the meme to have the faces of my family, but it was very hard to have consistency between frames. Since there is generated video, it seems like someone solved this problem.

I don’t know the details or the bills, but it isn’t uncommon for people in contested seats to be allowed by the party to vote in a poll-favorable way when their vote won’t change the outcome.

Simply, counting ‘Times voted with Trump’ doesn’t say much that is useful and can be misleading, especially in the context of a post about death threats to politicians.

Social media can have a very us or them mentality. If you’re not 100% lock step with the group then you’re an enemy to be scored and attacked. I read that comment as 'Yeah, they’re getting death threats but they voted with Trump so they deserved it (<insert Nazi bar comment>)".

And in any case, who is destroying them (who are the weavers)?

Out of work Programmers and Furry Hentai artists

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into GLM Air, I haven’t looked into the current state of the art for self-hosting in a while.

I just use this model to translate natural language into JSON commands for my home automation system. I probably don’t need a reasoning model, but it doesn’t need to be super quick. A typical query uses very few tokens (like 3-4 keys in JSON).

The next project will be some kind of agent. A ‘go and Google this and summarize the results’ agent at first. I haven’t messed around much with MCP Servers or Agents (other than for coding). The image models I’m using are probably pretty dated too, they’re all variants of SDXL and I stopped messing with ComfyUI before video generation was possible locally, so I gotta grab another few hundred GB of models.

It’s a lot to keep up with.😮‍💨

I’m not exactly sure the point that you’re trying to make?

She’s received death threats.

…but she voted with Trump

Therefore: ???

How are they getting Linus to agree to such a thing?

Great article. It should be noted that your web browser allows websites to do this with javascript.

Also, since this tracking isn’t really trying to hide, people have compiled lists of the dns names of the destinations of these requests.

If you host a DNS server and you take that list and return NULL for everyone on the list. Then clients on your network who have ad tracking software will try to look up the destination to send your data and your DNS will tell them that there is nowhere to send the data and so the data isn’t delivered. So, all of the smart TVs, game consoles, refrigerators, toasters and doorknobs which automatically send data but you cannot configure will fail because they use DNS also.

This sounds complicated to do, but I’m just describing Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/). It only takes a few minutes to setup the container and change your router’s DHCP configuration in order to give out the address of the Pi-hole DNS server.

Assuming you’re on Linux, which you are because you’re a reader of a c/Privacy… right?

Everyone will have a next phone though.

Until Trump let Elon erase decades of soft power gains with his trashy chainsaw and then imposed unilateral tariffs on our trading partners and threatening to invade allies.

Every EU country has taken initiative to move away from the US, ignoring banking sanctions and fining American tech companies for violation of EU laws are not unlikely.

We as a country are not ready for that conversation, yet.

Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we’re using that metaphor.

They’re the machine that create profit for people who are unconcerned with the damage that they do to the population.
