  • I fooled around with some uncensored LLaMA models, and to be honest if you try to hold a conversation with most of them they tend to get cranky after a while - especially when they hallucinate a lie and you point it out or question it.

    I will never forget when one of the models tried to convince me that photosynthesis wasn't real, and started getting all snappy when I said I wasn't accepting that answer 😂

    Most of the censorship "fine tuning" data that I've seen (for LoRA models anyway) appears to be mainly scientific data, instructional data, and conversation excerpts

  • Ouch, I doubt anyone would he looking forward to babysitting their idling car for 2 hours, just to install a navigation update 😭

    Older vehicles and standalone GPSes allowed people to just order a physical pre-loaded SD card, insert it into the appropriate slot, and that's your maps sorted with no idling or babysitting.

    While it's nice that there's no longer the excess physical electronic waste with the SD cards, I find it hard to see the cloud alternative as an improvement

  • The reason we don’t have more of them is because people continually vote against their own self interest.

    Louder for those in the back!!!

    I will never understand WHY people do this. And then higher life expectancy resulting in a growing older generation population preferring policies that actively harm young people

  • 🔥Hot take - I think unless the post being disagreed with is some kind of troll or spam post, the op or ocer might appreciate a discussion around it.

    People usually disagree because they view something from a different perspective, and most times that perspective could be a valuable thing to share IMO

  • There are lemmy instances where downvotes are disabled. It also affects the sorting 'algorithm' too IIRC, so browsing on a no-downvote instance vs the opposite can yield quite a different looking feed.

    It also allows you to look at content from a different perspective, rather than passing by something that's been bonked with tons of downvotes.

    Active moderation is pretty key though where there isn't the possibility to downvote, mainly because off topic/spam content can't be downvoted and won't disappear from feeds unless deleted by a mod.

    Lemmy mods are generally really proactive with removing spam/offtopic stuff IMO, so I'd say to give it a shot if you're interested. A lot of no-downvote instances aren't federated with lemmy.world though, and my current one has closed signups so it might be tricky.

  • Squawker maybe?

    Edit: should mention that Musk has crippled the ability to browse twitter without a login - no search, no feeds etc, so I don't think we'll ever actually see anything with Fritter's feature set emerge without login capability

  • Such a shame Insomnia went down this route.

    Hope I can export my data into Bruno HTTP, although really no big deal if I can't tbh - will just build up those requests again.

    Why does it feel like API testing and documentation apps are low hanging fruit for enshittification 😭

  • randomize the MAC address everytime they connect to a network

    +1, had issues using Android devices for presence detection because of this very useful privacy feature. Even on your home network, the MAC address and device hostname get randomized, unless disabled in the settings

    Edit: typo

  • I'm rooted with GSF, revoking some permissions forcibly from Play Services (most notably location access) causes the device to reboot, and the permission gets restored forcibly.

    This never used to happen previously (the permission used to get revoked successfully, and things like Google Timeline would act as if your device had disappeared despite location being enabled). I assume a background update implemented this permission recovery mechanism - i've since disabled play store on my device and slowly been culling off my usage of other Google apps

  • Once we figure out how to get data out consistently 1:1 without hallucinations, the floodgates will open IMO.

    And i'll be all over it personally, especially with FLAC files that range anywhere from 20MB to 70MB, any savings to rein these in closer to a typical MP3 will be much appreciated by myself. I don't mind long compression times, as 7zip and the other formats give us long waiting times already.

    If AI accelerator hardware is able to speed up the data compression process, this is where I'd maybe start to get a bit suspicious, as these accelerators at the moment are included in various in IoT and camera SoCs. A single exploit is all that would be needed to theoretically allow the user's personal data to be siphoned off quickly, without noticing a change in the volume of network traffic, or negative impact to the performance of the IoT device
