If you go to “All” then you get a feed from all federated communities,

I’ve been here for a while and this is still unclear to me: Is All only the communities that are synced to my server? And syncing is dependent on a user on my server subscribing to it? So if I find a new community on a different server and subscribe to it, it will show up on my server’s All?

It’s definitely possible to store the stories in columns, but there’s also very little reason to do it. I think filepath in SQL and the stories in separate files in whatever format makes the most sense (html, txt, epub). If you ever want to search the stories for keywords, write a python script to build indexes in SQL, performs much better than doing LIKE on a maxed out varchar column.

I was thinking maybe Elastisearch, but I don’t know how much work that is to set up. For a hobby project, writing your own indexer isn’t too hard and might be more fun and easier to maintain than an industry-grade solution.

The difference between a wall and frosted glass.

There’s one valid use-case for LLMs: when you have writer’s block, it can help to have something resembling an end product instead of a blank page. Sadly, this doesn’t really work for programming, because incorrect code is simply worse than no code at all. Every line of code is a potential bug and every line of incorrect code is a guaranteed bug.

I use an LLM with great success to write bad fanfiction though.

You can save time at the cost of headaches, or you can save headaches at the cost of time. You cannot save both time and headaches, you can at most defer the time and the headaches until the next time you have to touch the code, but the time doubles and the headaches triple.

Neither LLMs nor ICMs are AI in any sense of the word, is my point. LLMs happen to give the illusion of intelligence because of their language-based nature, but they’re not fundamentally different from ICMs.

Image classification model isn’t really “AI” the way it’s marketed right now. If Google used an image classification model to give you holiday recommendations or answer general questions, everyone would immediately recognize they use it wrong. But use a token prediction model for purposes totally unrelated to predicting the next token and people are like “ChatGPT is my friend who tells me what to put on pizza and there’s nothing strange about that”.

Google Lens already did that though, all you need is decent OCR and an image classification model (which is a precursor to the current “AI” hype, but actually useful).

I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly

No one asked you to and in fact temp banned you for it, so try to read the room next time

Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go “I dunno lol go ask chatgpt”. I would’ve banned you too tbqh.

Yeah, I’m just memeing. The first thought in my head when I read her name was “…and Zendaya?? Oh-ho damn…”

The babies were introduced as a plot device in Shrek the Third in 2007 and no one really cared about them. They returned in Shrek Forever After, this time as characters instead of stakes, but not many people were interested to see another Shrek movie after Shrek the Third. Forever After was kinda decent though, from what I remember. Compared to 3 at least.

Zendaya is a former Disney Channel star who is best known for voicing Shrek’s daughter Felicia in the recently released teaser for Shrek 5.

Reading the other comments, it seems OP selected the wrong source and got ads that way. I tried to reproduce the situation by selecting a movie that was only available from Plex’s streaming service and it said “The Films & TV source is currently disabled and will be re-enabled if you decide to continue.” In my Plex account settings, under Online Media Sources, I disabled those sources.

I’m trying to figure out how I disabled “More Ways to Watch” on my account or server, I actually kinda liked the ability to find stuff even if it isn’t on my server yet.

Edit: Didn’t disable it, just needed to update my server. Now I think I should disable it anyway, because it’s gumming up my search results honestly.

Wait, in what situations does Plex show ads? I thought Pass only unlocked some features like watching in the Plex app on your phone (which I never use). I have Plex running on a NAS on my local network and only access it from that same network (Chromecast, the web interface on that same NAS, DLNA) and I’ve never seen any advertising.

When I give my sister external access through Plex Web, is it possible for her to get advertising even with Plex Pass? Should I help her set up a VPN into my network? I think I’d feel safer if we had the exact same experience, so hers won’t deteriorate without me noticing.

Jerboa shows the link (and options of how to open it) when you long-press. It would be nice if we could set that as the default behavior though, I never open a link before seeing where it goes first.

Edit: issues go here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues

This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it’s going to degenerate the output.

What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don’t need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

So when I download only some files from a torrent, it’s likely that I can’t seed all of those files to the next person? I have done partial leeches before and left them seeding under the impression that I could at least seed exactly those files if anyone else wanted them. If that’s impossible (or at least unlikely to work because of chunking), then I might download the whole thing next time (or just leave the swarm).

The bandwidth of a station wagon just keeps increasing with advances in storage technology.

But a 10Gb/s line will do about 100TB in a day, so there’s not that many situations left where you have enough data to make the station wagon worth the effort. Wikipedia has a few examples, with the most recent being a truck doing 100PB for AWS. I think we passed station wagon station 10 years ago.

Every Funko should be a gumball machine, to justify those giant heads.
