  Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it’s actually today?

  We’re going to have internet licenses soon

  I feel like literally everybody knew it was a bubble when it started expanding and everyone just kept pumping into it.

  How many tech bubbles do we have to go through before we leave our lesson?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so lame for the arch community, like I use arch btws are supposed to be the most hardcore power users and they bugged a dev that badly! I don’t know how many tutorial I saw about compiling arch and building everything yourself into a minimal setup.

  You can’t give me shit for using Manjaro for as long as I did, GLAD I LEFT.

  can I say something a little stupid

  Thx! So I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with ignoring emails. Emails are a kinda public way for anyone to start a conversation with you. As developers, we include our emails in commits — but we don’t have to. I don’t think GitHub even checks whether the email addresses in commits are valid. So yeah, if you have a valid reason to reach out to a developer, go ahead. But if that developer disagrees or doesn’t want to respond, that’s just how it is — you can’t make someone email you back. I’m just being consistent with myself. I always tell my friends and family about the importance of the block button, and I’ll say the same thing here: just ignore it. And in this case someone would have eventually fixed the problem and submitted a PR. ~sry if I was condescending~

  I’m trying to make Ollama more accessible so I can replace Chatgpt.

  • I installed open-webui but I don’t wanna deal with tls certs so now I gotta figure out a way to use ssh tunnels (I hate Wireguard)
  • I gotta figure out how Ollama can keep a model alive to answer me asap while not interrupting videogames
  • I want to build tools for open-webui so I can integrate my local AI with Google calendar and Jira, right now it’s my open-api-toolkit project but it’s not ready for me yet.

  I realized how much info I’ve been pushing to Chatgpt and it feels like 10000x more that what I’ve exposed to Google or Instagram. I share with Chatgpt all my wildest secret project ideas and I don’t want Chatgpt to have that anymore. I hope deleting my account will actually delete my chats but I know for a fact that that’s a dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay I don’t want to directly disagree with you I just want to add a thought experiment:

  If it is a fundamental truth of the universe, a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human (because of some Neil deGrasse Tyson-esq interpretation of entropy), then no matter what AI’s will crash cars as often as real people.

  And the question of who is responsible for the AI’s actions will always be the person because people can take responsibility and AI’s are just machine-tools. This basically means that there is a ceiling to how autonomous self-driving cars will ever be (because someone will have to sit at the controls and be ready to take over) and I think that is a good thing.

  Honestly I’m in this camp that computers can never truly be “smarter” than a person in all respects. Maybe you can max out an ai’s self-driving stats but then you’ll have no points left over for morality, or you can balance the two out and it might just get into less morally challenging accidents more often ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. There are lots of ways to look at this

  Team Fortress 2:

  I’d say its gameplay is more “robust” than special. Like you can have any and every kind of fight in TF2 but none of it is more special than an FPS that specializes in any game mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members and genocide deniers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think maintaining mirrors and archives are important. It would be preferable to work with site admins but no one technically needs permission to web scrape so long as you do it respectfully and without causing service interruptions.

• I feel like I wouldn't be avoiding conflict if I could just trust that the other person to be as likely as me to end the conflict when it's over

  Realistically speaking it feels like this is the one thing AI won’t be able to replace. Celebrities are already fake enough as it is, imagine an AI generated celebrity LARPing as a real person that no one ever sees outside

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m working on self-hosting my own LLMs.

  I realized there are things I wanna talk about and research but I don’t want to send it to open AI. Frankly I feel gross about how much I’ve sent to open AI. My desktop is a beefy gaming rig that I don’t use for gaming much. I have a 20thread core, 64gb ram, an Nvidia gtx 3060 and 5 spare TB so why not.

  • I keep a few ollama models downloaded and I’m slowly getting to know them and what they can do. Gemma seems to answer the fastest so I’ve been using that. Deepseek is like the reasoning button on chatgpt.
  • I use openai-whisper to transcribe meetings I record using OBS. It’s really slow so I have a cronjob transcribe all my meetings for that day overnight.
  • Open Web UI is a fantastic LLM frontend. It provides tools, rags, web searching, and model ranking all as a simple to use UI.
  • My desktop has a Wireguard server which makes it easy to use my OpenWebUI on my phone.

  Now I want to work on giving the LLM access to my Google calendar so it can create reminders for me. I’m sick of forgetting to think about remembering to do things so I hope if I can just ramble at the LLM about what I’m doing or what’s on my mind it can organize my thoughts. What else are these LLM actually for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What actually came first? The chicken or the egg?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The egg… laid by a bird that wasn’t a chicken

  Neil D Tyson

  The explanation goes as follows:

  Since any offspring is never going to be 100% genetically similar to its parent, eventually an offsprings genome will mutate into what we humans would classify as a chicken within our “scientific” definitions.

  Imo the concept of a chicken is an illusion. It’s a bird thing that I can eat, and sometimes they’re really nice and lay eggs, that’s what a chicken is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 3 episodes (all shows) for a newbie⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DS9 Pale Moonlight: is my second favorite startrek episode. This is like the deepest exploration into a starfleet captain and how easy it is to lose yourself to corruption and operate outside of your government even when you’re working towards the same goal.

  VOY The Thaw: an unironic cathartic watch. I’m ready invested in the characters and I get to see A1 star trek grade acting actually brings me back to that episode.
