Silly topologist.

Coffee is a liquid, it can adjust to any shape.

I doubt that the first ones to break it will be eager to communicate their findings to the public.

This tech is far to valuable for military/spionage goals. For all we know it already exists.

Your not wrong that corporations win regardless of the party but how does a Trump appointee removing posts turn into an example of democrats being guilty of this?

Like, there is a inexhaustible lists of examples of how the class war is ingrained in politics, you don’t need to invent any and regardless of your intentions i doubt this is accomplishing them.

That may have been his intention but the many worlds interpretation is still a valid theory considered by equally professional scientists.

Personally i think when we are dealing with proper unknowns its best to not make any assumptions of what is normal/absurd at all. Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.

Never thought that my dislike for the taste and smell of coffee would become something that actively makes me glad.

Me, during my free time after a long day of barely managing to do the minimum…

Every day…

My new headcanon is now that this is what aliens say, as a meme, whenever they see a human do anything they don’t understand.

What the LILE

Fuck all intellectual property.

Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.

All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.

Fuck!

Turns out my “quantum superposition rifts” where certain spaces (biomes) exist in multiple locations at once allowing seemless passing between worlds, are not as original as i thought.

Well i don’t know how Dan Simmons Explained the science behind it but in effect it would end up very similar.

Virtual private network,i know, i know, but i just wrote the wrong thing on accident.

Since its been up for so long feels dishonest to change it. I am owning up to my mistakes and my sentiment that the post is about providers only still stands.

Honestly i wish these kind of vpns had a different name.

Wireguard isnt even on the list and its entirely free, but also it doesn’t serve this same purpose.

Vpn stands for private personal network, selfhosted vpns do exactly that, i can use my Phone to connect to all my home services which replace expensive subscriptions without actually exposing those services to the net or requiring a domain for them.

Vpns are amazing, but most people i know irl that use them barely understand what they are or what they can be used for.

This is convincing me we need a parody movie catered to an adult audience told entirely from the pov of Kronk.

Dont knows for these two but the enterprise version of copilot for office workers is so damn awefull its embarrassing.

It literally suggests to do stuff that it is incapable of doing.

I tried to get some doc as a flowchart using mermaid script, i know for a fact other llms have no problems with that:

After 3 attempts of it trying to code but resulting in an actual error it gives me,

Do you want me to provide this flowchart in visio format instead.

yes, if you can do that, it would be useful.

Generates a powerpoint about the topic.

that is a powerpoint, not a flowchart.

Tries to generate an image of a flowchart with not a single word spelled correctly and arrows going nowhere.

i didn’t ask to generate an image i need a flowchart

Sorry, if you want i can provide a flowchart in viso file format instead.

sure, give it another go

Generates a brand new bad PowerPoint.

I copy pasted the entire conversation to claude and it instantly gave me what i asked.

I am not saying i understand it at all. My comment is genuine, not rhetorical.

On the contrary i express that i do not understand this to the point of deeming it strange or weird, triggering my curiosity.

I was hoping someone would chime in an explain how text generator techniques (which i do know alot about) known to have no capacity to use real world reason or logic can be used to help solve dna puzzles unless as a sub module of general machine learning. In which that later case would be within my understanding

Machine learning sure, but an llm? For anything other then as a module to translate abstract data into words that just seem weird

We are on the same base,

I actually had a friend who jokingly mocked me for liking ai because i was initially very exited ablut Dall-E and ChatGPT 3.5

Back then i could only see the potential that it continues to have. OpenAI appeared to have altruistic goals and was a non profit. Trojan horse it turned out to be.

Had to make pretty clear to my friend that “ yes, but not like this, everything but this” about the current slop situation.

I should nuance,

For a person who already actively uses comfyui, knows how the different nodes work,

Makes complex flows with them,

Making their own checkpoints is not a big step up.

I have not gotten to this level myself yet, i am still learning how to properly using different and custom nodes, and yes

In the mean time yes, i experiment with public models that use stolen artwork. But i am not posting any of the results, its pure personal use practice.

I have already seen some stuff about making your own models/checkpoints, if i ever get happy enough with my skills to post it as art then having my own feels like a must. The main reason i haven’t is cause it does take a lot of time to prepare the training data.

People that don’t use their models while calling themselves artist are cheating themselves most of all.

If you can boot an os from usb (basically the same for all distros) you can try proxmox.

There are these incredibly useful helper scripts that setup entire services in 1-2 copy pasted commands.

https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them

Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.

Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.

Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc

Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.

For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a Big gpu to some services).

A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.

A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.

If you download a checkpoint from non trustworthy sources definitely and that is the majority of people, but also the majority that does not use the technical tools that deep nor cares about actual art (mostly porn if the largest distributor of models civitai is a reference).

The technical tool that allow actual creativity is called comfyui, and this is open source. I have yet to see anything that is even comparable. Other creative tools (like the krita plugin) use it as a backend.

I am willing to believe that someone with a soul for art and complex flows would also make their own models, which naturally allows much more creativity and is not that hard to do.
