  “Feel” nice trick to make it sound like they are spoiled and not just doing basic math to figure out that everything is expensive.

  You can train an LLM to generate 1:1 copies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out my new site TheAIBay, you search for content and an LLM that was trained on reproducing it gives it to you, a small hash check is used to validate accuracy. It is now legal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV Is Spying On You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got xiaomi, opened it up and disconnected the Bluetooth / wifi card. Connect it to a linux device and now it is a shitter version of a dumb tv. It’s crazy how smart tvs really really suck at being dumb. But it does work once you get used to some annoying quirks.

  Tip: connect a cheap air mouse/keyboard to it as a remote

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Long story short, profit.

  The not so short versio is that each manufacturer along the supply chain decides for how long they want to provide updates, the following manufacturer can’t provide updates that the previous manufacturer doesn’t. And so it goes until you get a phone that has 3 years of software updates and 5 years of security updates and that’s it.

  For example, you might buy a phone from google, they buy electronic parts from maybe Qualcomm and a few others. Say Qualcomm decides that it won’t be profitable to provide driver updates to the SoC past 7 years and critical security updates past 10 years. At this point even if Googke really wanted to, they can’t provide anything past that as they would not be able to update the Qualcomm driver. But google has otger providers with maybe shorter support windows, abd they have their own costs and updates to make. So Google decideds that for them it won’t be profitable to provide support past 5 years and security updates past 7 years. So now you get a phone which will be unsupported after 7 years, and here comes the big difference between phones and most computers. Phones have a locked bootloader and usually a custom SoC. Locjed Bootloader means that you can’t just install another OS that might still provide some support, and the custom SoC means that any driver support will have to be only for this specific device.

  So with an old laptop you might have a custom motherboard, but the cpu, gpu, ram, wifi, sound, etc will all be off the shelf, so if some linux developer makes some sort of driver support for your wifi card, it will also apply to all other laptops with that wifi card, but for a phone this won’t work, let alone even be viable since the bootloader is locked.

  Simply put, no right to own and profit chasing means that no one really cares if your phone is a security and usability nightmare after a few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  RAG is basically like telling an LLM “look here for more info before you answer” so it can check out local documents to give an answer that is more relevant to you.

  You just search “open web ui rag” and find plenty kf explanations and tutorials

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried RAG? I believe that they are actually pretty good for searching and compiling content from RAG.

  So in theory you could have it connect to all of you local documents and use it for quick questions. Or maybe connected to your signal/whatsapp/sms chat history to ask questions about past conversations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden cost of self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, personally I just looked for second hand high vram gpus and waited. I got 2 titan Xp (12gb vram) for only $180 each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden cost of self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know there is all of that AI hate, which i’m all for. But taking models to run locally does not benefit the AI companies. If anything this is the way to make something that is actually good out of that hot mess.

  You could use an llm with an mcp to the local filesystem and hope it can do it for you

  If your butt hole looks like the left you should probably go to the ER, if it looks like the right you should let us know if you can literally shit bricks, also go to the ER.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oppose STOP CSAM: Protecting Kids Shouldn’t Mean Breaking the Tools That Keep Us Safe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We could also force all people to wear ankle bracelets and be monitored by the government, AI could predict any ongoing or potential future crimes and we will have a crime free society where everyone is safe.

  Makes sense if you look at abliterated models. Once abliterated and retrained they seem to improve. Imo we are adding too much human bias by trying to guide the LLM. Censored models are good and need to be used in some situations, but shouldn’t the base be just data and only then finetune to desired output?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PLASTICMAXXING⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly it is a real concern and also part of why developing a bacteria that can break down plastic is very dangerous (not just because it could degrade our tools and infrastructure, but also because it will release literally megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere)

  Fyi, in the past there was nothing in nature to break down trees (lignin) and it actually was a problem as they would literally pile up and essentially be the same problem we have today with plastic (ironically it caused global cooling) thorogood.co.uk/treevolution-how-trees-came-first…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of an over amplification. Yeah, cops should ideally be fit-ish but even an obese person with a gun or a tazer can protect people, maybe not as well but still, and that doesn’t take into account the fact that a lot of cops are not actually on the streets but rather in an office doing paperwork etc. The problems are:

  • There are maybe not enough cops that are fit for actual fights?
  • Cops are ridiculously undertrained and unfiltered, giving us all if these assholes that really just like power.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An alien who sees in the radio part of the light spectrum would probably be blinded by all our wireless communications⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might think that but really our radio waves are like a spark compared to the forest fire that is the sun. We only think of radio waves as extreme or flooding because they usually have better penetration because of the lower frequencies.

  This also why basically everything alive that has sight is looking at roughly the same spectrum as humans, it is just very abundant, has a high frequency (eyes can be small) and is just below ionizing radiation so easier to stay healthy.
