if you take a model that requires 200GB of VRAM and you run it on the CPU, it requires 200GB of RAM instead. Still unfeasible on consumer hardware. With this approach you can easil…

well that only means there's a lot of people you do not see. The large majority, according to every available stat.

I think that's not capitalism, that's human nature. On every possible power structure you can think of, there will be people available to compromise on their moral principles if gi…

do consider that in Italy most credit cards cost around ~30€ per year + a 2€ tax for all months you spend more than ~70€ and most offer no benefits. Debit cards are offered for fre…

I think one of the points of TFA was that other AI tools found many vulnerabilities; after having fixed those, mythos did find another vulnerability the others missed, but that see…

the article begins like this: > Yesterday, I read a Wikipedia page for a book I’m about to review. I am still unsettled. > The page was stripped of reality, and in its place was a …

I did not say they did not read the title of the article. They clearly did. It's the rest of the content that was lost, such as the long focus on the sloppiness of the API provider…

The article author did not even bother to read the article they were basically replying to. Otherwise he would have noticed that the main points the OP was complaining about were n…

I found it unsettling that in an article about political manipulation the author did not provide a link to the book entry

In general, with per minute rate limiting you limit load spikes, and load spikes are what you pay for: they force you to ramp up your capacity, and usually you are then slow to ram…

IANAL, but I think open source started with software since software has source and binary form. Now with compression and other shenanigans, probably even videos or images could be …

The guy is actually the maintainer of those packages. So whoever got his credentials became able to perform releases on those packages. NPM itself does not build any package, it's …

Yes, you can have Android apps showing up in Gnome (e.g., likely all DEs) menu and open them directly in their own window without seeing the waydroid launcher.

I think it's a bit more subtle than that. The code of this tool runs in your browser and makes it download the model from huggingface. So it does not host the model or provide it t…

> Besides, can we even attract experienced developers to a non-glamorous industry like logistics? I wouldn't worry about this. For some devs the industry might matter, but for many…

They are quite well differentiating generative AI models, that are not trained on customer data because they could leak customer data, and other types of AI models (e.g. recommenda…

You and many others here are conflating AI and LLMs. They are not the same thing. LLMs are a type of AI model that produce content, and if trained on customer data would gladly rep…

In other news, it has recently been discovered that water is wet.

well, you need to have something to run that business logic (which includes phoning home to the manufacturer), don't you? Java is as good as any other runtime.

> Periodical reminder that copyright and GPL do not talk about linking. > At all. GPLv2 does not, but both LGPL and GPLv3 explicitly mention linking in the license text, so this pa…

> We ignore their "we noticed you may benefit from Enterprise, call us today!" spam Of course if you ignore their offers to talk with the sales team, you won't talk to them. Bigger…

I don't think the user can be held liable under the GPL. The GPL says: > This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program > You may make, run…

However, in the case of Meta, if you are a Facebook user they are likely using your likes, friends, any personal information you give them, the content of your posts/comments/priva…

In your society girls go around in underwear? nice! Sorry, I really had to :)

I happen to personally know the author, and I'm not really surprised he pulled this off. Using him as a baseline of who is a real developer his extremely unhealthy. Please don't :)…
