That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it's the nature of life to be hazardous—it's the stuff of living.

  • I use LLMs as a complement to search and Luma is far worse than even Le Chat from Mistral for moderately complex prompts.

    Luma is also notable slower (to an unacceptable level).

    I would they rather they focused on existing services. I use their email services and it's pretty good. Based on reviews, it seems that their cloud storage offering isn't on that level.

  • The dream of a Raspberry Pi laptop becomes a reality — ArgonOne Up Review

    Jump

  • Prices and capabilities have been increasing. The benefit having specifically the Raspberry Pi in a laptop (versus another ARM solution) is the massive ecosystem around the Raspberry Pi.

  • Agreed on both counts! :)

  • If you have 10,000+ users that are a representative sample of all internet users (or pretty close), your estimates should be pretty good for popular sites.

    Your sample might still be small for lemmy.ml.

  • Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears

  • I don't think they can make a direct competitor. An LLM is expensive to run and getting a good LLM model requires lots of spend.

    I like the idea of a private cloud LLM, but based on my experience with Mistral (an EU based LLM service), it is noticeably less useful than ChatGPT and especially Gemini for work use cases.

    Bases on some basic test prompts (related to finding sources and documents related to specific parts of government budgets in different countries all around the world), Lumo did not perform well. Only some general suggestions for sources were provided.

    It would be great to see Lumo improve, but I have my doubts.

  • Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears

    Jump

  • I don't believe they will be able to compete with Google/OpenAI in a direct battle by having a 1:1 LLM product copy but with privacy. The costs are likely too high for an organisation like Proton and their LLM is likely to have significantly subpar output.

    Don't get me wrong, I am all for a private, cloud LLM, but I would rather they came up with novel usability features, a better front-end for evaluating sources (and faster identification of errors and hallucinations) and so on.

    I am not seeing any of that.

    Jump

  • Agreed, that's pretty fucked up.

    However, on some level it's to be expected that 3rd parties may report you if they feel you are engaging illegal activities (especially on their premises).

    While I don't support technological backdoors, there are legitimate for society to engage in surveillance. It's the responsibility of voters to make sure that this is done in a responsible and transparent manner.

  • I believe similarweb tracks web usage of thousands of validated users (i.e. they know their demographic profile) and they extrapolate on a per site basis form there.

  • Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears

    Jump

  • That's a fair argument. Although I personally wouldn't put too much emphasis on "can report you to authorities for any reason". That's true of any third party, your local mini-mart can report you to the authorities for any reason, legit or not.

    I am referring more to the Lumo LLM initiative. It's a standard LLM pitch with some privacy copytext added on.

    While I haven't tried Lumo, I do have experience with smaller cloud LLMs (e.g. Mistral, trying to not use American services) and they tend to be subpar for my work use cases.

    I don't see how Lumo will compete with ChatGPT or Gemini (haven't tried Grok for obvious reasons).

  • US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter.

    Jump

  • Definitely. There is a lot of good things about the US, lots to see, different types of experiences, nice nature. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with polemics that make no sense.

  • Proton freezes Swiss investment over surveillance fears

    Jump

  • They need to fire their CEO and get an executive suite that can develop good products and not just copy Google while adding keywords related to "privacy" and "freedoms" in their marketing copytext.

    That's the exact same thing as Google.

    I say this as long time Proton user and subscriber.

  • US condemns French inquiry into Elon Musk's social media platform X/Twitter.

    Jump

  • From my experience living in the US, the country is not a good reference point for any discussions around the nature of free speech.

    Free speech polemics in the US largely have a demonstrative role with individuals parroting random copytext that they've heard before in an attempt to position themselves as being special and independent.

    In a way, the whole thing is very entertaining.

  • It can't be equivalent to a 4060 in synthetic benchmarks and run demanding 3D games at 4K at 70 FPS at the same time.

    Although MS isn't that great with messaging either. There was MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, various Skype services and finally MS Teams.

    And feels like all of them were bloated and badly made.
