Honestly. Very accurate to his writing. Its less uncertain than the other.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto World News@beehaw.org•BBC: what happens to African sex abused and AIDS positive kids when USAID disappears?2·21 days agoIts too early. I read this as
“Exposing Kanyes Sex Tape”
For simply productivity like Copilot or Text Gen like ChatGPT.
It absolutely is doable on a local GPU.
Source: I do it.
Sure I can’t do auto running simulations to find new drugs and protein sequencing or whatever. But it helps me code. It helps me digest software manuals. That’s honestly all I want
Also, massive compute projects for the @home project are good?
Local LLMs runs fine on a 5 year old GPU, a 3060 12 gig. I am getting performance on par with cloud ran models. I’m upgrading to a 5060ti just because I wanted to play with image Gen.
Which is funny since that does solve a lot of the problems.
If it’s completely open source at least.
Like OS data sets and model that can be ran locally means it’s not trained on stolen data and it’s not spying on people for more data.
And if it runs locally on a GPU, it’s no worse for the environment than gaming. Really the big problem with the data center compute is the infrastructure of getting that data around.

Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.

Shit, Prodigy is endlessly shilled by folks on Mastodon with 18+ only in their banners.
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help extracting kindle booksEnglish4·3 months agoLots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.
There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.

nagaram@startrek.websiteto artporn@lemm.ee•Indian by a lake in a majestic California landscape - Thomas Hill (1870)0·3 months agoI never feel like I appreciate these enough. This is the work of someone who thought this scene and others like it were so beautiful he had to hone his skill as an artist to painstakingly recreate this view to share with others. Something that we do as an after thought with our phones now.
Thank for sharing this with us, Thomas. I think it’s beautiful too.

I had to Google it. They’re not bad. I think there’s some fun to be had with the idea of their weird virus that messed with their ridges.
Like disco Klingons are the original pre-virus Klingon, ToS and Kelvin are some of the variants we get during the virus, and TNG is the Post virus

That doesn’t contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.
Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn’t hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something
Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.
