i am on a phone. i did not press any extra keys to make my phone not do caps - this is because i have changed my phone to this, because when you write about technical things, capitalisation is important - lower case everything is lower case everything. i’m not about to start hitting an extra key at random times when this is perfectly fine. i’ve never had an issue reading all lower case

it’s not try-hard; it’s practical for people who work with tech

i agree, and never said it was, however currency sovereignty being a sacred cow isn’t a great way to form policy

why is it good? what does it give you? (youve answered in another comment a couple; there are plenty!)

but single market relies on single currency, and that gets you a whole lot too. you said you’d like to join the EU but not the single currency, but the UK proved that situation was sorta shit for the whole EU

you can’t really be part of the single market the way it’s intended without being part of the single currency

i’m under no illusion that my ideas are valuable to anyone but myself, but seeing things expressed in different ways allows me to iterate and refine. and who said anything about en-mass? maybe it’s for a dnd campaign that i play with 4 friends, maybe it’s just for abstract pretty colours to put on the walls? i’ve had friends do both of these things; things that would absolutely not exist without AI assistance

believing inflation was due to the Carbon Tax

lol i don’t inderstand people sometimes

world is in a cost of living crisis

hmmm this cost of living must be because of our local carbon tax! couldn’t be anything else going on!

especially a GPU that’s not even that good relative to last gen

okay but it’s also kinda the cornerstone of the single market sooooo

better tools will never lead to me being able to paint or draw without significant time and effort that i don’t have invested into practice

however i can express a fantasy world visually by describing it to AI - it’ll be kinda jank, but im still better able to communicate my imagination visually than i could otherwise without the help of someone who has skills to draw, paint, etc

counterpoint (not that this makes it easier) is that lowering the skillset needed for people to express and communicate what’s in their head has always led to more art and diverse perspectives being shared. it’s upsetting to artists that the skill they’ve spent their whole lives developing has less value now, but allowing more people to create is far from a bad thing in a lot of cases

i agree FOSS is the way to go, and that OpenAI has a lot to answer for… but FOSS is not the only way to interpret “open”

the “open” was never intended as open source - it was open access. the idea was that anyone should have access to build things using AI; that it shouldn’t be for only megacorps who had the pockets to train… which they have, and still are doing

they also originally intended that all their research and patents would be open, which i believe they’re still doing

figured i’d do this in a no comment since it’s been a bit since my last, but i just downloaded and ran the 70b model on my mac and it’s slower but running fine: 15s to first word, and about half as fast generating words after that but it’s running

this matches with what i’ve experienced with other models too: very large models still run; just much much slower

i’m not sure of things when it gets up to 168b model etc, because i haven’t tried but it seems that it just can’t load the whole model at once and there’s just a lot more loading and unloading which makes it much slower

it’s not asking for a 50% raise… it’s giving you the opportunity to retain talent and knowledge for the same rate as a competitor has offered

that’s true - i was running 7b and it seemed pretty much instant, so was assuming i could do much larger - turns out only 14b on a 64gb mac

okay so perhaps “feeling lucky”

honestly for me i’d still recommend them… i know a lot of people on lemmy disagree with that, but they’re great value for what you get, and i’ve have no need to leave the bambu ecosystem. perhaps in the future, but that’s not a concern for me right now

if you want to tinker with your printer, bambu was never the way to go and this update doesn’t change that. if you don’t want to tinker and you just want a printer that is amazing value for money that just works then bambu printers are still that

i’ve had 5 different 3d printers, and my bambu is the first one that i actually use on a weekly basis… the choice for me is either i use my printer because its easy, or i don’t because there are too many barriers to creativity

the update isn’t even that bad by itself

i believe one of the big advancements with deepseek r1 is their method of adding the reasoning component is novel and very very efficient. i haven’t checked it out, but it could legitimately just be more efficient to run

it’s actually pretty easy to run locally as well. obviously not as easy as just downloading an app, but it’s gotten relatively straight-forward and the peace of mind is nice

check out ollama, and find an ollama UI

that’s not really how this works though… we don’t have the training data, so nobody else can recreate this from scratch exactly

*edit: adding this here because i just saw it elsewhere: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1

how dare you not let me enjoy the next few days of reasonable temperature in peaceful ignorance 😭

episodes shouldn’t be assumed to be exploring the same moral or philosophical points… it’s very difficult to explore complex logical arguments through innuendo whilst also maintaining a consistent grounding for all of them

and also, the decision is left up to the viewer: by presenting situations that both (perhaps) cross, and do not cross the line it allows us to form our own opinions, rather than the shows writers convince us of their idea of what’s right and wrong

people are fallible: the shows writers, and the characters. in some of that inconsistency, we can form our own ideas of what we believe

i think that the existence of the disease is more of a maguffin than the point that the solution was achieved without section 31… the “problem” could have been any number of unrelated things (eg some spacial anomaly threatening the founders for some reason, etc) and the fact that it’s s31 is more an interesting plot device to create other narratives around, rather than degrading the ultimate point
