I don’t know if it’s just me, but over the last few months I feel like I’ve been getting worse and worse results from ChatGPT. I’ve taken to running various OpenAI, anthropic and models in an OpenWebUI instance for anything important, and lately OpenAI is consistently at the bottom of the list.
That’s fair enough. I’ve gotten a number of non-devs hooked on docker containers for running self-hosted apps that didn’t have a desktop counterpart, but admittedly they were otherwise technically oriented. OP might want to look into it if they’re so inclined, but it’s easiest to just use Voyager from the website :)
Voyager can be run in windows as a webapp - you can try it at https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/all, or even run it locally in a docker container with no dev knowledge needed
There is one variant called Magnetized Target Fusion that kinda-sorta works like this, where the “cylinders” are made of liquid Lithium. On each “stroke” of the engine:
Right. Traditional projection TVs have reflective screens - your eyes are getting photons that have bounced off of something already, making them less bright and lower contrast. Thing is still an emissive screen tho. The white photons from the projector are filtered by the LCD but then head right out to your eyes without bouncing off of anything else. This keeps the color gamut very high, and the projector only lighting up the pixels that need to be lit keeps the contrast very high (like an oLED)
Duolingo. My whole family has caught the bug. I hear the little ba-ding! noise from all corners of the house all evening long.
Y todavía no puedo hablar bien español 😕
I’m with you 100% from the privacy and cybersecurity perspectives. That said, if they can be solved (e.g. at some point there will simply be no need for any more training data, and computers will be fast enough to do all the fancy stuff locally), I’d vastly prefer having an appliance do my housekeeping chores than a cleaning service.
Use the Meta defense: as long as you don’t seed then it’s fine.
It’s just more stupidity, all the way down.
My journey across a sandy beach in wet socks.
I like it for content discovery, but it feels weird to upvote bot posts. When I see something interesting enough to comment on I do try to see if there’s a similar article in a better community already or make cross-post.
Very slowly.
I doodle incessantly. Like whole pages that are 20% notes, 80% doodles. I had a teacher in middle school who got mad because it seemed like I was constantly distracted (true) and had me stop, but then discovered it was 10x worse if I was not doing something with my hands. Meanwhile my most recent boss looked over at my pad during our first in-person meeting and said, “ah, so you have ADHD too?”
My desk is littered with post-it notes and papers, as the act of writing something down is usually what helps to “lock” it into my memory for a time. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous number of to-dos I usually have at any given time it makes me look like some kind of crazy note-hoarder.
To me synthwave sounds like a lot of trance or progressive trance from the late 90s/early 2000s - Tilt, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha & Digweed, Tiesto, BT
A global FOSS day would be awesome. In addition to giving gifts to the authors and maintainers (and maybe Paterson and others would agree to no fees for one-time donations on that day or something), think of all the other new holiday traditions we could start…
What else?
Maybe it’s time for a FOSS general strike.
Yes! Slip the sound board guy your discman and $20 and get a perfect recording. I remember a few times where there were a stack of discmans and walkmans (Walkman?) recording.
Ah damnit so I did. The rest of the numbers are true, just not as close to the 1kg’s worth as noted.
Back in the old days (ie 2020) we called this “writing out requirements” and it was generally the way that devs knew what they were supposed to do.
