  • Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

    Jump

  • Thanks for spreading the word. We get these complaints every few weeks. More people need to be educated and move away from these instances to make the Threadiverse a better place.

  • Unable to run TabbyML with GPU on NixOS or Docker (solved on docker!)

  •  
        
services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";

    ? Could be another way.

  • AI Ruined My Year - Robert Miles

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it's a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn't align with popularity. But it's remarkable anyways, you're right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube 'career'. 😊

    And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.

  • AI Ruined My Year - Robert Miles

    Jump

  • And maybe have a look at his Youtube channel and the older videos, too. Lots of them are a bit more philosophical and not too technical for the average person. I think he's quite inspiring and conveys very well what AI safety is about, and what kinds of problems that field of science is concerned with.

  • I've decided to switch to Linux Mint, but i have a lot of pirated games. How to play them with all the cracks and stuff in linux?

    Jump

  • I'd agree with the recommendation of Lutris and Bottles. Just install the two and see what you like and which works best. I've heard Lutris is pretty good. And both tools handle most of the underlying stuff for you, like managing Wine and Proton.

    There are quite some guides/tutorials/youtube videos on how to use them.

  • sagt man auf Deutsch 'er geht über dich hinweg' he walks over you?

    Jump

  • Denke ich auch. "He walks all over you" ist entweder:

    • Er trampelt auf dir herum [auf jemandem herumtrampeln]
    • Er geht schlecht mit dir um
    • Er nutzt dich aus
    • Du lässt dich von ihm herumschubsen
    • Er überrennt dich (mit ...)

    Das ursprünglich Gesagte ergibt jedenfalls so keinen Sinn.

    Und "jemanden übergehen" ist eine andere Redewendung: to omit so / to pass so over / to ignore so.

  • Did you know you could ask your AI for driving directions?

    Jump

  • Yeah, doesn't really work. I mean it has a rough idea of that it needs to go east. And I'm surprised that it knows which interstates are in an area and a few street names in the cities. I'm really surprised. But I told it to get me from Houston to Montgomery as in your example. And in Houston it just tells random street names that aren't even connected and in different parts of the city. Then it drives north on the I-45 and somehow ends up in the south on the I-610-E and finally the I-10-E. But then it makes up some shit, somehow drives to New Orleans, then a bit back and zig-zags it's way back onto the I-10. Then some more instructions I didn't fact check and it gets that it needs to go through Mobile and then north on the I-65.

    I've tested ChatGPT on Germany. And it also gets which Autobahn is connected to the next. It still does occasional zig-zags and in between it likes to do an entire loop of 50km (30 miles) that ends up 2 cities back where it came from... Drives east again and on the second try takes a different exit.

    However: I'm really surprised by the level of spatial awareness. I wouldn't have expected it to come up with mostly correct cardinal directions and interstates that are actually connected and run through the mentioned cities. And like cities in between.

    I don't think I need to try "phi". Small models have very limited knowledge stored inside of them. They're too small to remember lots of things.

    So, you were right. Consider me impressed. But I don't think there is a real-world application for this unless your car has a teleporter built in to deal with the inconsistencies.

  • Which Matrix server implemetation do I choose in 2024?

    Jump

  • Thanks. Yeah I know most of the story/history of Matrix. I'm just now making the decisions for the years to come. And Dendrite has been the announced successor to Synapse for quite some time now... I'm not sure what to make of this. If it's going to happen soon, I'd like to switch now. And not move again and relocate my friends more times than necessary.

    Judging by the graphs on my Netdata, Synapse plus the database are currently eating more resources than I'd like for just chat. Afaik the other projects were meant to address that. But I've never used anything else. And I've always refrained from joining large rooms because people told me that'd put considerable load on the server. If there's a better solution I'm open to try even if it's not the default choice... It just needs to work for my use-case. I don't necessarily need feature-completeness.

    Yeah, with the multiple domains: I meant I have 1 VPS and like 3 domain names for different projects. I have a single email-server, one webserver and they just handle all three domains. Even Prosody (XMPP) has "VirtualHost" directives and I only need to run it once to provide service on all the different domains. With Matrix this doesn't seem to be the case... I'd need to launch 3 different instances of Synapse simultaneously on that one server and do some trickery with the reverse http proxy. That'd be more expensive and take more time and effort. I don't really care about how the identities are handled internally, I can provide them in a format that is supported. And the users are seperate anyways. It's just: I'd like to avoid running the same software three times in parallel.

  • Matrix Aliases ?

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity: Do you have to deal with that much spam? If so: Is there a specific reason?

    Because I only get some bot join one of the public rooms and start spamming every few months or so. And we deal with that pretty quickly. My own account has been perfectly safe for years... So my experience is different. Might be my usage-pattern vs yours?!

  • Did you know you could ask your AI for driving directions?

    Jump

  • Which model(s) did you try? I'm willing to test it later. Downside is, I mainly use smaller LLMs, live in Germany, in an urban region with lots of streets and different Autobahnen and it's kind of a hassle to deal with textual driving instructions anyways. 😆

  • DRM Hell

    Jump

  • I think they're using Widevine DRM. And with DRM they can enforce whatever arbitrary policies they like. They set special restrictions for Linux. I think Amazon set 480p as max, Netflix 720p and YouTube 4k or sth like that. AFAIK it has little to do with technology. It's just a number that the specific company sets in their configuration.

  • kann man mittels DSGVO-Anfrage herausfinden, ob man beim Onlinehandler ein oder mehrere Konnten hat?

    Jump

  • Ah jo, danke. Brett vorm Kopf... Ja Amazon macht natürlich sein eigenes Ding. Bei denen ist es schwer echte Hilfe zu bekommen. Deren ganzes Geschäftsmodell ist ja alles Automatisieren und möglichst wenig qualifizierte menschliche Arbeit zu bezahlen... Viel Glück jedenfalls an OP. Notfalls bei eBay bestellen, da gibt's auch fast alles.

    Und... Letztendlich würde ich das doch irgendwann klären. Und vielleicht auch eine Auskunft bei der SCHUFA einholen. Alle paar Jahre steht einem da eine kostenlose Auskunft zu... Wenn da irgendwie Identitätsdiebstahl im Spiel ist, lohnt sich das vielleicht da auch mal nachzuforschen.

  • kann man mittels DSGVO-Anfrage herausfinden, ob man beim Onlinehandler ein oder mehrere Konnten hat?

    Jump

  • Denke schon, dass das ginge.

    Manchmal ist es auch ein guter Tipp eine E-Mail zu schreiben statt bei der Hotline anzurufen weil das auf einem anderen Tisch landet oder weitergeleitet wird und dann von der richtigen Abteilung für Rechnungen bearbeitet wird.

    Dafür musst du nur irgendwo eine E-Mail-Adresse von denen finden. Und dein eigentliches Problem ordentlich darlegen.

    Unabhängig davon kannst du meiner Meinung nach auch auf die DSGVO pochen, dann landet dein Anliegen halt auf dem Schreibtisch vom Datenschutzbeauftragten.

    Ich hab leider auch keine Ahnung was "Tropischer Wald" fùr eine Firma ist.

  • Is Stremio a honeypot?

    Jump

  • Yeah, but usually with open-source software you get like 150 Github comments complaining and outlining their shady business practices... If there's something to complain about.

    The XZ disaster is an example for sth else. There are probably more backdoors in proprietary software that we just don't know about. And they can just keep it hidden away and force the manufacturers to do so. No elaborate social engineering like in the XZ case needed... And no software is safe. They all have bugs and most of them depend on third-party libraries. That has nothing to do with being open or closed source. If so, being open provides you with more of a chance to catch mischievous behaviour. At least generally speaking. There will be exceptions to this rule.

  • Friedrich Merz fordert Rücknahme des Verbrennerverbots

    Jump

  • Naja, Merz hat mal gesagt man müsse die Freiheit gegen den Angriff Putins verteidigen. Also bei dem weiß ich immer nicht so recht... Aber ich glaube diese Position würde auch er nicht vertreten. Und sein Totschlagargument steht auch schon in dem Artikel, da brauchen wir keins erfinden...

    Außerdem wohnt der soweit ich weiß in Arnsberg oder irgendwo im Sauerland... Weiß nicht ob das so weit oben auf der Wunschliste von Putin steht 😆

  • Friedrich Merz fordert Rücknahme des Verbrennerverbots

    Jump

  • Der Fritz soll mal was sinnvolles tun und zum Bleistift fordern, dass man mal die Deutsche Bahn repariert. Das wäre toll und echt eine Erleichterung für einen Stadt-Menschen wie mich.

    Und konträr zu was der so faselt, ist das glaube ich recht klar, dass öffentlicher Nahverkehr 'ne ziemlich zukunftssichere Technologie für die urbanen Regionen von Heute und der nächsten 10 - 20 Jahren sein wird. Das könnte auch ein Jurist oder Kinderbuchautor verstehen...

  • Können private Bürger / Firmen herausfinden, ob ein Schüler seine Ausbildung abgeschlossen hat und momentan im Beruf Tätig ist?

    Jump

  • Ich denke eher nicht.

    Aus Erfahrung kann ich sagen, dass man meist eher selbst schuld ist... Das LinkedIn Profil was man mal angelegt und vergessen hat... Auf 'ner Jobmesse mal an einem Gewinnspiel teilgenommen... Oder im Internet bei Firmen seine Adresse angegeben. Oder Social Media benutzt und da was Eindeutiges geposted.

    Das schließt aber nicht aus, dass doch irgendwo mal entgegen der Gesetze eine Leiharbeitsfirma an Listen mit Namen kommt... (oder weitergibt.)

    Haben die denn nur deine E-Mail oder die Postanschrift und einen Brief geschickt?
