I’ve only had issues with fitgirl repacks i think there’s an optimisation they use for low RAM machines that doesn’t play well with proton

That’s a room temp take at best

But then how am I supposed to use your “research” to make imaginary claims on generational attention spans ?

It’s like in poker, show one, show all

I don’t remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

That’s only if you are in the subset of PC enjoyers who like state of the art equipment, expensive accessories and expensive recent games.

I consider myself a PC nerd but 5K is more than I spent in the last 10 years on the hobby. I’ve built my main rig for <1K, own a few raspberries and my home server is an old work laptop. It absolutely doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby.

“i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”

Haha yeah the top execs were tripping balls if they thought some off-the-shelf product would be able to answer this kind of expert questions. That’s like trying to replace an expert craftsman with a 3D printer.

What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ? I’ve found that general “chatbot” things are hit and miss but more domain-constrained tasks (such as extracting structured entities from unstructured text) are pretty reliable even on smaller models. I’m not counting my chickens yet as my dataset is still somewhat small but preliminary testing has been very promising in that regard.

Most projects I’ve been in contact with are very aware of that fact. That’s why telemetry is so big right now. Everybody is building datasets in the hopes of fine tuning smaller, cheaper models once they have enough good quality data.

Truly makes you think. Maybe we do, actually, live in a society 🤔

dear diary today on Lemmy i saw a guy who was angry at a job title

I’m not sure what you mean. Integrating LLMs in a codebase requires the use of specific tools. Sure it’s not as established and wide ranging as “frontend” but it’s still something that you need to learn and work on if you want to do it well. Kind of like, you know, a skill.

yeah and we all know there is only the one type of software engineer. It would be ridiculous to separate them into categories depending on whether they work on frontend, backend, embedded lmao

I … I don’t know man !

I think some time around the year 10000 humanity solved most of their problem and the only remaining scarcity was “good living”. Like, cultures that had a sophisticated way of enjoying life through good food, good drink and good companionship suddenly came at a high premium. The people from SW France became insanely wealthy very quick, and a sort of federation was struck between the Gascony people, the Basque and the Brittons. It was really the only possible counter-power to the more colonialist and military minded Italians.

Boar religion could be described as Albigensian catharism, except in space. Their freedom-loving ways are despised by the Italian catholic church but the galaxy is so vast that religion wars never really break out, it’s just local skirmishes.

I haven’t yet determined what animal the italians have morphed into, really glad to hear any suggestion.

Oh and here’s a picture of the Assembly of the Perfecti, held annually at Baiona Station :

I think they have adapted to life in hard vacuum they just wear those helmet cause they look pretty

Since Gen art became a thing i’ve been using it episodically to create images of a civilization of space-faring boars, representing the future of my glorious South-Western France civilization. They raise ducks and grow wine in space, and the lore is getting a lot deeper than i first thought. It’s so fucking fun man.

If there’s one thing artists don’t do, it’s try and build a picket fence around Art to separate it from Not Art. Duchamp was 100 years ago i think the point that “Art can be anything and everything” has been abundantly made during the 20th century.

Remember when corporations tried to claim that money you didn’t spend on their product was theft ? This way of thinking has been recycled by the anti-AI bros.

Turns out all the money you don’t spend on struggling artists is not only theft, but also class warfare. You stinking bougie you.

Except it’s not used as a job title to describe people prompting Midjourney lol. A prompt engineer is a software engineer who specifically deals with LLM workflows.

It’s especially frustrating as the whole point of the Google search page was that it was designed to get you out on your way as fast as possible. The concept was so mind blowing at the time and now they’re just like nevermind let’s default to shitty
