I keep seeing this sentiment, but in order to run the model on a high end consumer GPU, doesn’t it have to be reduced to like 1-2% of the size of the official one?
Edit: I just did a tiny bit of reading and I guess model size is a lot more complicated than I thought. I don’t have a good sense of how much it’s being reduced in quality to run locally.
This sounds like good engineering, but surely there’s not a big gap with their competitors. They are spending tens of millions on hardware and energy, and this is something a handful of (very good) programmers should be able to pull off.
Unless I’m missing something, It’s the sort of thing that’s done all the time on console games.
I found this blog post which gets into activitypub location metadata and integrating it with OSM.

Sound promising actually.
Any suggestions for avoiding Google maps reviews? The best I can think of is looking for threads on local subreddits for e.g. restaurants. Unfortunately there’s not much of a local community on the fediverse yet.
They can do that, but I believe the various laws about openness in advertising make it pretty hard to hide ads from the client.
Isn’t the bluesky client open source? That would make it harder to force ads on everyone.
I still think Infinite Jest is in pole position:
edit: also I think we can be on track for both Infinite Jest and Idiocracy
Something that worries me about that is attestation. This is the advice from the GrapheneOS Devs:
https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide
They’re asking app developers to trust their keys specifically, which would mean that the app might work on GrapheneOS, but not my fork of GrapheneOS with some cherry picked fix I want.
It would be much better if we stamped this out now, before all online services require attestation.
But it’s ok because some retired boomers get to shout ‘taking our country back’ then blame foreigners for anything negative that happens
And then fly back to Spain with the sense of superiority that comes from carrying a blue passport.
I assume they’re going to use it to waste stupid amounts of electricity?
Lemmy format allows having an actual dialogue
It’s great for seeing existing dialogue, but I think it falls short for long term discussion between more than two people.
On a non-threaded board (e.g. forums, github issues) you can watch a thread you’re interested in. On Lemmy/reddit you only get notifications for direct responses to your comments.
I think some sort of option to watch/unwatch whole subtrees of comments would help a lot.
Yeah, likely true without some sort of legislation.
Well at least there’s a business opportunity for someone to reanimate these things and use them to push gacha games and energy drinks on the innocent children they’ve bonded with.
Surely in that case they could open their software so the community can figure out what it would take to keep it running.
There’s something like that near me, but it’s a Five Guys clone. Seems like a good idea if you can get established locally. Small menu, nothing complicated.
So, should I start hassling my ISP about my missing 350 Mbps? Is there some other obvious thing I should test before I hassle them? I certainly don’t want them to say “have you turned it off and on again”?
My ISP will treat anything under (I think) 90% of advertised speed as a technical problem, assuming it shows up on the modem speed test.
I had a problem recently where it was consistently slow, but only in the evenings. I was pretty sure it was a neighbourhood issue, but I still had to go through the whole troubleshooting script, replace the modem, get a tech out to check everythting, etc.
After none of that helped, the regular tech support didn’t know what else to try. Luckily there was a form on their site to escalate an issue. That put me in touch with an actual person with an email address, and they were able to get the issue sorted relatively quickly.
There’s actually a whole escalation process up to making a complaint with the regulator, but this is in Canada, so YMMV.
I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:
People in Canada can’t view this content.
Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.
I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.
How does this work in practice? I suspect you’re just going to get an email that takes longer for everyone to read, and doesn’t give any more information (or worse, gives incorrect information). Your prompt seems like what you should be sending in the email.
If the model (or context?) was good enough to actually add useful, accurate information, then maybe that would be different.
I think we’ll get to the point really quickly where a nice concise message like in your prompt will be appreciated more than the bloated, normalised version, which people will find insulting.
