  • I considered this, but would agents really ask for single commits with such frequency? They tend to get individual files via HTML, or do a git clone if they needed commit history for some reason.

  • Well I'm sure you get this a lot, but thornspeak will not help.

    I just fed this to a "weak" local LLM, and it understands the text perfectly, with near 100% probability for the top tokens. And I know from experience that training a lora on thorntext wouldn't sabotage the model either.

    Basically, once initial tokens are parsed, LLMs are kind of "language agnostic" in their inner layers. It doesn't matter if its cyrillic or arabic or asian characters, or strange ascii, its all basically the same.

  • Well, it also means they have access to tons of traditional server resources with... basically zero incentive to use it efficiently.

    The sheer waste is just kind of mind boggling.

  • What the fuck.

    I barely comprehend how this is happening. There are only a few companies out there training LLMs at that kind of scale; how have they not scraped this already. And how could they be doing it so stupidly?

    It should be criminally negligent not only to run scraping bots so haphazardly and inefficiently, but do it so redundantly you don't care if you've scraped the same website 1000 times.

    The teams managing this stuff must be an absolute shitshow. And I bet the datasets are total junk.

  • Well I was thinking the opposite.

    Take the existing community fragments, and unify them into a structure so they don't wither.

    The problem I see on Lemmy is that niche communities aren't very discoverable, hence never cultivate much interaction, but "percolating" posts up would address this.

  • Lemmy and Piefed need a "subcommunity" structure to get that ball rolling IMO.

    EG you may have an overarching "sports" community, and in layers:

    sports -> basketball -> NBA -> team

    • So if your team sub was kinda dead, you could browse /c/NBA or /c/basketball and get a wider feed of other teams.
    • Similarly, you could mark non-spammy posts to "filter up" to the higher communities that accept it. So you make a post in your team community, and folks browsing basketball might see it, depending on their settings.

    Permissions would be granular to set this up, consensual for both the "upper" and "lower" communities.

    I've written this up as a more general proposal ti help niche communities, but have yet to put it on the development gits as a feature request.

  • Nah.

    Where is the backlash?

    Data center and Flock protestors are cheered as heroes, and finding viral fame. Grifty content farms have sprung up to churn out anti-tech memes because the genre is so popular.

    Facebook. Twitter. YouTube, Reddit.

    Doesn't matter how angry they get, they will ALWAYS go back to the very spaces those AI datacenter companies own.

  • Im not downvoting, I think its interesting.

    ...But iI suspect some are tired of the Linux community's fragmentation? As there are a lot of distros that try to mimic Windows as effortlessly as possible.

    This looks like a very clean, sleek attempt to me, IMO.

  • The phaser beam would hit enemy cover and background props in dramatic showers of sparks, of course.

    You know how it is. Storm Troopers always forget to switch the dial.

  • The article is good, but the headline seems clickbaity:

    • Debian is discussing requirements about hosting software with LLM generated code in their repos, and disclosure of that.
    • "Ubuntu embraces AI" is talking about putting ML inference engines in their repos... which, ironically, are largely human written.

    These are two completely seperate issues. And TBH its not clear how Debian is approaching inference engines or how Ubuntu is approaching disclosure.

  • Inaccurate.

    Physics dictates it would deflect the phaser beam to the nearest redshirt.

  • Have you seen the movie "Don't Look Up"?

  • Its the content you don't see though.

    IG's thirst farming stuff is the absolute creepiest to me.

  • YouTube too!

    YouTube is just... apathy. Like it could be a scathing expose of YT itself, and the comments would all be interchangable with vapid bot spam.

  • My point is that it doesn’t take a lot of money to surpass flagship smartphone cameras anymore.

    ...It will soon though. Thats what Im saying.

    Current Xiaomis and Hisense, and the next iPhone, are gonna be straight up better than a $1800 OM-3, hand down. At least outside of the supertelephoto range. Loifc is a HUGE deal, it is coming to most smartphones, and OM's processing is stuck in 2015.

  • I dunno. The flood of cheap 3rd party lenses (Viltrox airs, Sirui snipers, Thypoch 24-50, Tamron...) kinda put old M43 lenses to shame, for less money, while being smaller and built for bigger sensors.

    Native OM lenses are expensive. Sync IS doesn't work with Panasonic.

    I'm not sayings its a terrible mount like RF, but they are starting to lose the value and size advantage because there is so little R&D done for M43. You could get a much sharper image out of an old sony/nikon/fuji body + a $150 Viltrox Air.

  • Not gonna lie, this is a great meme...

    I did say it was a hot take. I am not caffeinated yet.

  • Yeah. "Lets try centralized algorithmic corporate social media again."

    Im sure this attempt will end up just as wholesome.

  • Well each has its quirks. Leica is hilariously expensive. Ricoh is fixed lens, fixed focal length. I nearly got an OM-3 myself, but honestly it is big, and M43 lenses and sensors are starting to show their age.

    I'd probably point the average person to an L10, an X-E5, an S9, or the A6700 with a pancake lens if they can swallow the price.

    I think the S9 in particular is a glorious "smartphone replacement." Its a full frame ILC, its connectivity app is fantastic, yet with a pancake lens it is no bigger than an OM or Leica.
