Here’s the thing… It was a bubble because you can’t wall off the entire concept of AI. This revelation was just an acceleration displaying what should’ve been obvious.

There are many many open models available for people to fuck around with. I have in a homelab setting, just to keep abreast of what is going on, get a general idea how it works and what its capable of.

What most normie followers of AI don’t seem to understand is, whether you’re doing LLM or machine learning object detection or something, you can get open software that is “good enough” and run it locally. If you have a raspberry pi you can run some of this stuff, and it will be slow, but acceptable for many use cases.

So the concept that only OpenAI would ever hold the keys and should therefore have massive valuation in perpetuity, that is just laughable. This Chinese company just highlighted that you can bruteforce train more optimized models on garbage-tier hardware.

Do you use free tier or paid proton VPN? I am evaluating different VPN options and appreciate the data points

MC Chris is Dead was the only record of his I listened to but I liked it. What is his best overall album?

If you have your VPN client and torrent application set up correctly, your traffic would all be routed through the VPN and the network would see your VPN IP and not the actual IP of your machine. If you have a private tracker you can probably test this on their site as many will show you which IP they see as you seed.

A few considerations with this- Some VPN services do not support or allow torrenting. Also some trackers have issues with you using multiple IPs etc. so your account could be flagged if you have used different VPN nodes over time.

That wasy thought as well. NK is a heavily propagandized population. Makes me wonder - What are they telling those soldiers, and do they believe it?

It would legitimately not surprise me at this point if Google starts serving precise bra ads to your girlfriend after discerning cup size from her nudes.

Yeah these have basically been ineffective for P2P such as torrenting for many years. The media companies can just outsource their Anti-Sharing campaigns to third parties and it is fairly trivial for them to do discovery from non-obvious or even residential IPs. They just have to open a given torrent long enough to see who is in swarm and start sending nastygrams to those ISPs.

The best way to protect yourself is seedbox/VPS in a jurisdiction with no filesharing enforcement, or at a minimum join a reputable private tracker, because then all participants are vetted and there will never be a snitch in swarm.

Did Tipper Gore get resurrected somehow? I thought she got banished to the shadow realm.

Does it run at 60 fps like the Perfect Dark recomp etc? I love playing these N64 recomps with quality of life improvements on the SteamDeck.

I’ve got news for him. A large percentage of federal employees do fuckall when they’re in the office. The remote part has little to do with it.

But not before causing 2+ years of tedious previously-unnecessary migration work. Thanks a lot assholes.

Are you sure I can’t save it in case I need to get out of the Backrooms some day?

My money is on Fievel. After he went West, of course.

I agree that what they did is ridiculous. The macro story should be that the two major parties rig their primary processes in order to sideline potential challengers to the machine apparatus.

The takeaway is you have little to no ability to influence the national candidate selection unless you’re a major player in an early primary/caucus state or you’re a billionaire PAC donor.

Even if they had a “real” primary the DNC would’ve cooked it so Kamala (or whoever the DNC elites picked) got the nod. The Obamas, Clintons, Pelosi, Bloomberg etc. already made the decision at that point and what you or I wanted was never a factor.

Weird flex but ok

Wonder what the driver support will be like…

I was hoping this could be a viable option for someone who last built a new PC nearly a decade ago now, and can’t stomach the idea of spending more on one flagship card than my entire old build cost altogether.

At the same time, with all the invasive changes Microsoft has made to Windows during that time, I am not building another Windows PC. Last I looked the Intel Arc series of cards had crappy support for Linux so hopefully that improves.

This is bullshit. There are many people hired with the job title “Software Engineer” who don’t sit and generate code, and for a number of reasons.

You could be on a hybrid team that does projects and support, so you spend 80% of your time attending meetings, working tickets, working with users, and shuffling paper in whatever asinine change management process your company happens to use.

I have worked places where “engineers” ended up having to spend most of their time dicking around in ServiceNow/Remedy/etc. instead of doing their actual jobs. That’s shitty business process design and shitty management, and not a reflection of the employee doing nothing.

Yeah I was just about to say one obvious flaw in his methodology is that people could show up as “high productivity” by adding thousands of lines of worthless comments.

Its not really a “win” for anybody. It has a 60 day timeframe, which not-at-all-coincidentally aligns to expire right as Biden leaves office. Then Israel will have the greenlight to pursue whichever strategy they wish.

Most of the consumption excesses people on Lemmy condemn the US for, are enabled and facilitated by China. The entire “disposable crap” culture is only possible because of China and its cheap manufacturing base, and lesser standards of health, safety, environmental protection, etc.
