crowdstrike has caused issues like this with linux systems in the past, but sounds like they have now moved to eBPF user mode by default (I don’t know enough about low level linux to understand that though haha), and it now can’t crash the whole computer. source

open source drivers were developed for apple’s gpus, so if there is demand seems like someone would do it for qualcomm

because lots of (most?) trans people don’t want to be “trans”, they want to fit in with the gender they know they are, and being labeled as not a real man or woman in the normal sports leagues, but a trans man or woman in the trans league, is insulting.

Have you seen that study about the accuracy of chatgpt responding to programming questions? (here) It’s wrong 52% of the time, and I can say that I have personally experienced trying to use chatgpt for programming and getting more confused rather than less. Maybe it is because I wasn’t using gpt4, or claude, or whatever new model is the best, but I’m just sharing my experience.

Also I support electric vehicles because without them lots of energy (and emissions) is generated for critical infrastructure (we can’t ditch cars yet), and so replacing that with renewably generated energy is a good idea.

LLMs consume lots of energy to train and use, but instead of literally moving millions of people around, they assist you in doing things you could have done without them, but with dubious accuracy. Look at the massive use of LLMs in by students to cheat in school, yes they may not get detected, but sometimes they have noticable flaws, that get them in large trouble for being too lazy to actually learn anything.

If you want to learn in depth knowledge about a topic, just go look it up and learn there, it’s more helpful than an LLM.

you’re getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and “dark web”, you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

but then made another torrent that is fully seeded

i think i’ve seen it used to demo different image compression algorithms, things like that. it was used as an easy example test image, but this journal has now banned papers from using it because it is weird and creepy to be using cropped porn for that. this won’t benefit the model, but she was only pushing to ban it because she wants more women in IT fields.

sure illegal content can be accessed over a vpn without port forwarding, but when someone is hosting a child porn site over a mullvad ip, that is clearly a larger problem

although people hosting illegal content using port forwarding is likely one of the reasons they removed it, so its a tricky problem

If you use cloudflare, there’s a docker container to update your sites DNS records to your current dynamic IP (also cloudflare is good ddos protection) https://github.com/oznu/docker-cloudflare-ddns
