What an incredibly helpful and useful organization making an incredibly helpful and useful decision for us. (/s obviously)

Gross

It can use ChatGPT I believe, or you could use a local GPT or several other LLM architectures.

GPTs are trained by “trying to fill in the next word”, or more simply could be described as a “spicy autocomplete”, whereas BERTs try to “fill in the blanks”. So it might be worth looking into other LLM architectures if you’re not in the market for an autocomplete.

Personally, I’m going to look into this. Also it would furnish a good excuse to learn about Docker and how SearXNG works.

LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn’t solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Google using ai, everyone hates it

Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.

Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it’s going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.

If that happens then I swear to fucking God I’m done with YouTube forever.

Edit: i.e. if it breaks FreeTube, Invidious, Sponsorblock, etc. (because I’m already done with the main site forever) then I’m out. If the choice is between content vs no ads, I’ll take no ads even if it means no content.

Last panel should be the entire US Customary System, which is literally just a rescaling of the SI (“metric” system) units. US Customary is derived directly from SI.

Yeah they might, they’ll just lie to you and/or themselves about the reality of how it happened. But fair point.

I don’t know how I can make the sarcasm any more obvious.

I mean you could have put the /s at the end. I’m not that good at detecting sarcasm in text.

But also… shitlibs will actually say stuff like this unironically.

I know a lot of loony leftists are saying things like “this is a violation of international law”

Shitlibs in a nutshell

Edit: Okay thank goodness you’re being sarcastic.

If Justin/anyone at Cockos is reading this: please open-source REAPER. You really would be doing the audio community a huge service.

Would be great for me and others who have trouble with body language. I could deepfake a version of myself with neurotypical body language and offload the effort of “acting normal” to the AI for interviews and video calls. Genuinely I’m super pumped for this.

I mean if you start a RISCV community on Lemmy I’d show up. I’m sure a bunch of people would; seems like a logical extension of the FOSS movement to the hardware world.

so the only thing I come to Lemmy for … is memes.

But you’re blocking so many cool meme communities.

So wtf do you even like?

Yeah my position is really to recommend any FOSS OS in the large over proprietary ones. However, since my experience is primarily with Linux distributions, and I do think that Linux makes sense for a lot of use cases, I usually start by talking about “Linux” first.

But, from my experience, if a “solution” to a problem “forces” the user to make a choice, then they’ll stick with what “currently works” over having to make a choice. So when I talk to people about Linux IRL, I typically direct them to Linux Mint directly, even though other distros exist and it actually doesn’t fit my use cases. Once they’re comfortable in the Linux ecosystem, they can switch to a different distro or OS family if they feel the need to do so.

Theoretically this exists: https://github.com/Nikilites/nuzu

Also, I managed to install the Flatpak of Yuzu off FlatHub about a half hour ago.

Do you think a warrant canary would help? Basically post something ASAP that says “I haven’t been served any IP subpoenas as of today.” Then, update the statement every so often unless you get served.

What are you doing in assembly?

I want to help but I’m making zero money. Zero times any percentage is zero.

Yeah when I searched for “insert-mode” from another comment, the next suggested result was “insert-mode vim” and “insert-mode visual studio” (which IIRC is just aping vim), plus it’s /c/programmerhumor so I had a feeling that it would be vim shenanigans.

Wait doesn’t Shift + I just type “I”?
