Low level programming C

Could be pretty much any computer

rust

Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects

Machine Learning programming with Python

Start with colab / huggingface and get a feel for what level of hardware you need for the stuff you’re doing before you start buying stuff

If you want just a general high quality system with upgradability etc, frame.work or System76 are supposed to be good high end providers.

Honestly this meme is way understating the sinisterness

  • Election interference for money machine
  • Whole internet is ads company
  • Dopamine addiction for all children
  • Superpowers for law enforcement

This has been 100% my experience with my Brother printer

I mean, it’s clearly doing something which is impressive and useful. It’s just that the thing that it’s doing is not intelligence, and dressing it up convincingly imitate intelligence may not have been good for anyone involved in the whole operation.

How will launching mirrors of the size of your entire farm (if not hundreds times larger) for extra 30 min of sunset ever be more cost-effective than simply adding a small percentage of extra PV panels

This is this year’s single biggest understatement

Have you ever attempted to fill up one of those monster context windows up with useful context and then let the model try to do some useful task with all the information in it?

I have. Sometimes it works, but often it’s not pretty. Context window size is the new MHz, in terms of misleading performance measurements.

Also, export your DBs first, and snapshot the export instead of the raw DB files

Dude this is genius

I am interested to see how it plays out but the idea of the instance admin being able to pierce the veil and investigate things that seem suspect (and being responsible for their instance not housing a ton of spam accounts just as now) seems like a perfect balance at first reading

Edit: Hahaha now I know Rimu’s alter ego because he upvoted me. Gotcha!

 

I feel like mostly these "I had a model generate images for this song" things are pretty lackluster, and this one could have used more variety on the length of time it sticks with any given moving-image, but overall it seemed surprisingly good to me.

 

There's also an alternate script if you want to talk with a Republican senator, and you don't feel they'll be swayed by the language in the linked site.
