AI stands for

Aaand

It’s gone

REPORTER: Speaker Johnson, you’ve announced that you aren’t running for House leadership next year, can you provide us a few words as to wh-

JOHNSON: Sorry, I’m not aware, I haven’t read anything on that 🏃‍♂️💨

Welcome!!

It’s clear to me Michigan voters also don’t regret ditching you as a Senator candidate.

What was

a $8.9 billion investment in US chipmaker Intel

Is now

the value of the government’s 9.9 percent equity stake crashed from almost $40 billion to well under $30 billion

, still an unrealized 200%+ gain, so I guess the government “bought the dip” in a way. Though why Republicans back their favourite President engaging in casual nationalization still baffles me. Maybe any Democratic president should employ a similar path to nationalization disguised as a bailout: to legislatively constrict the business model of any company they want to acquire at discount “market rates”, then restore something along previous regulatory conditions.

The fact that Stevens would want a Republican over this guy I think most would conclude is a Stevens problem not a Democrat problem.

(People who really know would be aware its an AIPAC problem)

Thing is, I already am…

The price did grow several times in size, but even in the 4 to 5 digit price range, you or smaller companies can have a pretty competitive performing open source model as the frontier models from earlier this year and they are keeping pace.

Obviously I’d like the speculation bubble to end and the DRAM and GPU cartels broken up, as it’s late-stage capitalism where the existing regulations being unenforced on big tech because the regulators are in on it that’s the problem, not so much the AI tech itself. (Don’t get me wrong, the tech has bad sides to it too like stealing artwork, data centre environmental impact and whatnot, but just speaking to the cause of the component greedflation).

With an iGPU results are going to be very slow. Most promising things I have heard of so far is Mixture of Experts type models, if you have an 8GB card you might be able to run Qwen 3.8-35B-A3B-MoE which I think is the most capable for that hardware.

There are websites that can suggest a few for your specific hardware, I assume some are vibecoded and are only occasionally updated to the latest models, so take it as you will. See this Lemming’s comment. And [email protected] is where I think most of the discussion around new development with Local LLMs happens here on Lemmy.

Local LLMs are the way to go on AI, they can’t suddenly change the model up on you. And also, I guess Anthropic just wants their models to be more useless ahead of going public? Because I presume people that want to use AI, who don’t care where they send their data to, but don’t want to nagged about how they can’t do benign programming and analysis tasks, will just choose another model provider.

It took me 4 months to wean off from when I first registered to Lemmy to when I made my final goodbye post on Reddit. It’s a transition, everyone can do it on their own time and pace.

With all due respect to you and the user above as people, fuck the defeatist attitudes. We’re going to make and keep this little part of the Internet fun, no matter what corporations say. I’ve had a great 3.5 years on Lemmy despite the occasional dramatic event. And I’m counting on myself and every one of us to continue to make it so.

Entropy is also inevitable, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep a small space of less entropy than average while we’re here.

All the power to you, I really hope small local LLMs can get good enough to do this on their own as much as Claude. And then we can jailbreak cars and tractors to not have temperature control under 3 menus, maybe even connect a bluetooth device with physical dials to control A/C because manufacturers had refused to for a decade.

Caveat is AI is fully capable of putting new security holes just the same if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Second caveat is if you are hacking it by simply mimicking API you are still at the mercy of the companies providing them not to update or shutdown the API… if they change the endpoints then this youtuber has to have a new Slophouse app slopped out again. If he could be able to intercept the traffic coming from the air purifier servers and decode that communication to be able to emulate it offline, then that’s another thing.

I think it’s fitting for companies making shitty stuff getting their comeuppance, but personally my philosophy is that internet connected computers should only be in computers you want connected to the internet, not other random gadgets. That helps prevent the problem in the first place.

Sweet, welcome, I’m glad you could make it!

Why don’t you just skip the begging part, cut to the chase and get bought out by Elon and merged into Skydance-Tesla-SpaceX-Oracle-Twitter?

What I found was good framing is that algorithms push good and shitty content on you because that was shown to hijack your neural pathways like a Skinner Box experiments. If it was only good stuff every time, then you’d watch what you feel like then stop. Because it mixes it up with a random chance of something good coming up, you get addicted to the scrolling in the hopes to find the good video in a pile of shit. The mice did the same, when food came out all the time they’d only push button for food enough to be full, when it was random they spammed the button and ate way more than they needed to.

If you want to watch a 10m video on it, or just the method to slowly recognize and kick the habit if you couldn’t stop cold turkey.

The essence of it is, set a timer for 5 minutes, scroll, then when the timer goes off, stop, put the phone down, ask yourself if you enjoyed your time doing it or not, if there’s anything else you’d rather get up and do. If you feel it was worth it to calm down or you got something out of it and actually want to keep going, set another 5 minute timer and do it again. Just the pause to consciously slow down and ask yourself that will help you limit your scrolling time, and as you brainstorm other ways to spend your time you may find you need to be scrolling less.

My personal method is to try to seek out what I want instead of having an algorithm determine what information I want to seek, and frequently question why something is being recommended to me.

I don’t want a copy of Reddit’s culture on Lemmy, but I think Lemmy’s culture will be similar because of the interaction format and because a sizable number of Lemmings I presume use Reddit and Lemmy both regularly. So it will be up to how close the viewer looks to determine if they seem the same or distinct.

I think one thing I don’t see much on Lemmy are the very tired 3+ nested comment chains that don’t add conversational value, like “and my axe!”. I’ve only seen it very occasionally, and usually in good joking taste, for example the trope “[term OP used] means this, you probably were thinking of [also incorrect word]”.

Skytrain in Vancouver, a Linear induction motor based metro system, has been driverless since 1985, without platform screen doors. There are cameras on each platform and a system to detect people entering the track area.

Played around with it on my desktop machine. Someone’s distilled variant of Qwen 3.8-27B-Q4_K_M, on a intel12700k + RTX3090 24GB is what I use.

I haven’t adjusted the reasoning down from very high but I mostly use it for trying tweaks to half-finished coding projects I’ve lost motivation to complete many years ago. I used it to develop a very simple JS-free personal website. I have secure shell which I can access from Termux or PuTTY, but sometimes I have the llama.cpp webui insecurely accessible online for one day at a time just for fun.

As an aside, do you remember the days of [email protected]? I think there were a solid chunk of people on Lemmy that lived for the 'net drama, grudges, trolling, flamewars and squabbling between instances, users and everyone in between.

It was petty more often than not, but I won’t lie, sometimes those threads got kind of interesting to me.

Hey, I’m aware I have my own biases. I’ve tried to describe the situation in a fair and reasoned way as best I can, based off the experiences I’ve had over the last 3.5 years, including before lemmy.world even started, your experience may differ from mine and that’s okay. I donate quarterly to the Lemmy devs and occasionally to my homeserver’s foundation, so please feel free to accuse me of bias in either way.
