I have a few LLMs running locally. I don’t have an array of 4090s to spare so I am limited to the smaller models 8B and whatnot.
They definitely aren’t as good as anything you get remotely. It’s more private and controlled but it’s much less useful (I’ve found) than any of the other models.
Better is entirely subjective. Mastodon has so much friction for an average person.
Not to mention most servers are filled with tons of “WeLl ACKWalLY…” types or legit weirdos.
I’ve heard it summarized: if you hated Twitter you’ll like mastodon. If you liked Twitter, you’ll love bluesky.
Mastodon aint for everyone. Id hazard to say it’s not for most people. It’s also no immune to ads or natural centralization.
It reminds me of that South Park episode about Walmart where they fought off the super store and shopped at the small store until it grew into the super store.
Meta, a US company, allows the US military to use its models. Omg! Let me clutch my pearls.
What’s the moral dilemma? China already took their model and is using it in their military.
Do you guys not want our military to have access to all of the possible tools they can?
You mad about Ford and GM building trucks and vehicles parts for the military too? Are you mad about Microsoft selling windows to the govt?
You just upset that it’s the military?
Where’s this line that’s been drawn where this is a moral dilemma??
He has a legit point that Steve did not give LTT a chance to comment. “He doesn’t have to!” Maybe. But he gave the other side a ton of airtime/chances to comment. It was very one sided and while GN made some good points, it felt like a hit piece. And Linux, imo rightfully, felt a little betrayed by a guy he’d worked with in the community.
His reaction wasn’t great but it was that of a guy who was defending his team and from someone he’d probably consider a ‘friend’ impugning his integrity and dragging them without giving them any opportunity to comment or even letting him know it was coming–two very common practices/norms.
A unflattering view of GN vid is that he felt threatened by LTT labs entering the space and he wanted to get out in front of that an expose"how unreliable" they are. He didn’t give LTT a heads up or allow them to comment because he knew they’d have a solid response. He blindsided him on purpose.
All that said, GN did Linus a favor. It accelerated his transition away from CEO and forced them to review their dumb production rates and the videos that are coming out now are better than ever.
Ironically, it left a sour taste in my mouth about Steve and I haven’t watched any of his videos since.
Not all llaw enforcement or emergency services are in the clear. The Feds are all encrypted (except for some intentional in-the-clear channels for open comms).
One of the biggest criticisms after 9/11 was the lack of easy comms across agencies because of radio set ups, different 10-codes, etc.
Hopefully this is something they are accounting for with this change.
Also $400m doesn’t seem that crazy for an endeavor like this given the size of NYPD.
40k officers and staff + backhaul + tower upgrades + vehicle radio upgrades and installation /$400m
And is that $400m entire lifecycle cost? Over 5-10 years or whatever that’s really not insane.
Yea, sounds like a dumb lawsuit and clickbait lazy reporting.
Is that explicitly verboten? Can you not claim unspent gift cards as revenue?
I genuinely don’t know, but if it’s allowed or a business’s choice, then I don’t know what the hell the story is here. If they are doing shady accounting practices it’s one thing, but if they are just reporting their revenue/profit from gift cards…who fucking cares?
Gift cards are, by design, a way for companies to increase revenue and profit. They are known to get lost and go unspent. That’s straight cash for the company. The ones that get used, get used at the company.
I know snap isn’t popular among Linux nerds, but I was really having issues with the AIO docker setup and at the time I didn’t have the time to troubleshoot/fight it. I needed to give my family a file drop link to share photos for a memorial service.
I figured, the snap package was recommended on their site, maybe it won’t be horrible. To my surprise it was incredibly easy, has been rock solid, never had performance issues, and it’s always up-to-date.
Snap may suck for some use-cases but this one seems to be right in it’s wheel house.
It also has an export/backup capability built in.
I ended up on the snap because I couldn’t get the AIO install working properly. My snap version has been super solid. I think I’m gonna stick with it for a while.
This is a great little hack.
My advice: use the nextcloud snap package. It’s seamless.
I’m convinced no one actually knows how to write awk. It’s all copy and pasted from the web.
Any tips or tricks for your migration? I don’t have any plans in the near future but I never found a super clear path to migrate off.
That’s the only downside i have for the snap at the moment.
I could never get the AIO setup to work well for some reason. It was also a couple versions behind it seemed.
I…uh…know it’s not popular on the fed, but I use the nextcloud snap package and it’s been rock solid. It’s always up -to-date and they have a backup/export feature too.
You’re using network_mode: “host” which makes the container use the host’s networking directly. When you use host mode, the port mappings are ignored because the container doesn’t have its own IP address, it’s sharing the host’s IP. Remove or change the network mode to see if that fixes it.
Appletv has some of the best content out there. They may be the last one standing for me at this rate.
Silo, severance, invasion, foundation, slow horses (though this latest season is pretty meh), for all mankind, and there is another one I’m forgetting.
I think companies like apple and Amazon had?(have) a huge advantage when it comes to their streaming services and content. They don’t need to make money on them. They can take risks. They can let a show build. Netflix kills shows too fast. Why? Because they don’t have a billion dollar business that can cash flow content that might not be hugely popular right out of the gate.
It sucks Amazon is going down this path. If they put ads I’ll pay the $3, but I’m cancelling my music subscription with them to pay for it $10/mo.
Or until we get back to 0% interest rates that these companies could get for the past 10 years. The free money dried up!
He reportedly joked that the secret to a long marriage was ensuring your spouse was “someone who is always mildly sedated so she can never realise there are better men out there”
“In what was always understood as a private conversation James, the Home Secretary tackling spiking, made what was clearly meant to be an ironic joke - for which he apologises,” a spokesperson for Cleverly said in a statement.
So a self-deprecating, incredible obvious joke, told in private to friends, has people jumping to be offended!
People really need to save their outrage for serious stuff because being outraged over something like this minimizes actually serious situations. It’s like the boy who cried wolf(read: outrage).
Edit: is also fairly obvious that most of you just read the headline and popped in to be outraged. Merry Christmas!
Or maybe same machine with premium options and premium pods.
Which, for me at least, is accurate.
