Im on the fedi doin fedi things.
Same. Its somewhat useful on some very small scripting or tasks…but its mostly just to try out a new model or two. Its not really useful for anything big.
I will have to say…even my tiny models are about as good as Chatgpt/Claude/etc… which makes me think about how much people are spending on tokens regularly. I was able to get the same kind of python script started with my local tiny model that was comparable to the newest Claude code offerings.
Im planning on waiting 5 years to see if it will become a thing and be well supported. Ive been burned by experimental tech before. But I hope to see more of these kind of projects pop up in the future.
Quick q, where is the research? I had a hard time finding the actual study they were talking about.
If self driving cars actually take off in mass, I personally think we may see more and more of these occurring. Not how they are now, but in the way busses currently work, no driver required.
If it doesn’t require any sort of work to drive, people would just set up their car with their entertainment and 1 hr+ drives become a LOT less tedious. And then these cities that don’t really have a lot going for them other than being sorta close to a bigger city will slowly depopulate. If you can get to a better city with more services why not? Anyways that my theory.
I also think as the older crowd make room for the youngins, we will begin to see much less population (or at least a huge slowdown in human beings made). The baby boom bulge is getting into retirement and theres going to be a LOT of houses popping up. More inventory means prices go down. Climate change may change that equation as things get drier/hotter in most of the US so im less sure about that. But less people being made means less housing needs to strain generally.
I should make sure piefed can work with it. If not ive got a mastodon account i think would work.
I dont agree with all the points but Collapse OS has a fascinating read: https://collapseos.org/civ.html
In this case its driven by greed…but if you cant get a hold of chips because of ANY factor, its going to look more and more like collapse os is more right than wrong.
Yeah each platform has their own way to “deal” with the issue. You get a choice. Which is nice :)
True you have to be smart.
Its generally ok and accepted. Where it gets tricky is when you pull ALL the source code of company XYZ product and then use it at a new job to undercut your old one. Or try to sell a copy with the same code. Essentially when money and licensing comes into play.
Also depending on where you coded said solution, if it holds up to court, etc…etc… But generally, if LLMs can siphon up the entire internet for code, you can keep your own.
But one off scripts? Oh yeah those are safe. People have been sharing their dot files for ages.
I personally have spun off a couple of libraries making it easier for people to use said commercial product. Its been wildly successful for my career over the long run.
Theres a lot of good models free online that are open source/Chinese and the only cost is a bit of slowness on my rig. No token limit or whatever. Totally agree.
Its about as good as commercial products now…
Also keep your scripts somewhere. Git/github/codeberg/etc… or hell a flash drive. It help later on when job jumping. Think of it as wisard spells and a spell book.
For sure, there are a LOT of conventional services that only exist because of cheap storage.
Looks like it uses wifi and bluetooth. So anything just “ON”.
You know its not all that hard to reproduce if someone wants to. Except when we do it, its against the law.
I wonder why they are pushing so hard on new outlook. Its one of their most used products…and people REALLY dont like changes to it.
“I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one is working”
I use Thunderbird for my stuff. I like it for personal email. Its good enough.
Took 330 ms to load for me. Maybe your internet connection is a bit slow? Its also getting hit by multiple big sites at the same time.
The examples are pretty funny. Is VERY slow. Like I thought old outlook was a bit on the slow side for syncing. The videos they provide are remarkably slow in every day interactions.
Same, i enjoy it here!
This style of posting lends itself to having “hot takes” get upvoted and actual discussions have middling success.
At least with us, you can chose the tech and put it up yourself. Like right now you are using slrpnk.net and im using piefed.social on a lemmy.world server. Without any issues. We (the collective WE) made this happen without huge billionaires having a strangle hold on the way we interact. Its not perfect, but its better than a LOT of the alternatives.
Thank you!
