Bazzite was too limiting for me and the layered updates made updating take forever. I was only using it on a media PC at the time too, so it wasn’t as if I had that many changes.
I’m perfectly happy with CachyOS. Can basically do whatever I want and snapshots are a nice safety net. Updates take like 2-5 minutes depending on how long it’s been since the last time I ran updates and the power of the system (Steamdeck always takes longer than my desktop or media PC).
Also, apparently the majority of them are literally actual pedophiles and they always accuse others of what they are doing.
Which is one of the few things these things can actually do because they’re entire thing is language processing.
Basically put in a vague or comprehensive description of what you are trying to do or trying to find. It can generate a few queries based on your input and do a handful of searches then give you the results and highlight which ones might be the most relevant to your input.
But, that still require traditional, and specifically deterministic, search.
The way people blindly trust it’s output without any actual search or additional context is the worst way to use it. Might as well ask a magic 8-ball.
That’s fair. I do apologize for my tone, but I’m queer and a core of all these attacks on free speech are directed at the LGBTQ community so I tend to get heated about it, especially if someone seems to dismiss the importance of protections like that.
I like playing around with them occasionally, but I only use local models. I cannot stand all the cloud stuff in general and with the way neural nets work you can get as good or better results out of a smaller/more narrow model and the same applies to LLMs.
The massive models the big companies are putting out there are generally just bad. Even if it can occasionally give you accurate output, for whatever it is you are asking it to do, it uses way more power and resources than reasonable and you could have found what you were looking for with a simple web search.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFe-PO) are actually really stable. Way less likely to catch fire in thermal runaway and don’t lose capacity as easily.
They just aren’t very energy dense, so you need more weight per wh. They also operate at a lower voltage per cell which means they charge slower.
They are used in short to med range EVs already, but the lower capacity makes it impractical to put enough for longer range EVs.
As an aside, I would argue that for the majority of people a large capacity EV battery is a bit of a waste. Mine is ~70Kwh, give or take. In optimal conditions my car estimates 240-250mi at 100%. Over the winter it’s showing anywhere from 140-180mi at 80%.
I moved cross country right after getting it and drove it 1000 miles. It took a bit longer, than it would in a gas car, but it was doable. Just have to plan segments to get to the next charger and try to charge to 100% with level 2 charging (240v AC) if you can when you stop for the night.
Who could have seen this coming?
“You first.”
Anyone who actually thinks this must not actually do a whole lot and probably could be automated really easily, AI or not.
The only way these things could be implemented is if they phone home to some “AI” model. Printers themselves do not have anywhere near enough power to do any kind of analysis like that. Mine crashes if my microsteps are too high.
So its pretty obvious that the goal of this is to invade people’s privacy and will likely try to use it to block copyrighted material if it built. It’s the age verification BS all over.
I mean, not to defend that idiot because he was voting against net neutrality and obviously had no idea how technology works…
… But we do call some connections “tunnels”.
Even if it was in good faith: 3D printed guns are not a problem. Even if you made one it is going to jam up very quickly due to softening and melting, if not just explode all together.
It would be easier, faster, and more effective to build a gun from things sourced at the local hardware store.
Even then, If someone is going to commit a crime with a gun they are unlikely to build it themselves. Most guns used in crimes are actually legally purchased, purchased at a gunshow, or purchased on the black market.
Anyone 3D printing a gun is doing it as a novelty. Because of that I don’t see this as a second amendment violation. This is blantantly a first and fourth violation.
Even if this could actually be enforced you have the issue that if they go too far you suddenly have it blocking a cylinder because it thinks you are trying to print a gun barrel.
Not that I don’t think they would care about that, but it would certainly cause even more of a backlash.
What kind. Because I’m well aware of how bad democrats can be even if they aren’t as bad as the literal fascists.
At best this is a grossly uninformed position. At worst she is pushing this to add it to the pile of privacy violations or because a system like this, if it could actually work, would have an end goal to block people printing copyrighted objects.
And largely unenforceable. Like, it can only really block the sale of prebuilt, proprietary crap like Bamboo, but most of these things are built out of common parts that are used for a verity of applications and there are countless completely open source printers you can just built from sourced parts that this literally cannot apply to.
Even for most of the prebuilt or kits you get you put open source firmware on it. They can boot lock the board that comes with it, technically, but the board is easy enough to replace on most printers and it’s a standard micro controller and/or raspberry pi nowadays.
Half the time people who get those kits end up replacing various components to customize for their use case. I have a Sovol SV08 that I put stock Klipper on and want to do the multi-print-head mod someday. I’ve even considered replacing the main board with a more powerful one so I can run higher microsteps without overloading the processor.
It also violates the first and fourth. And it does nothing about gun violence.
It’s also impossible to actually implement and is no more than one more privacy violation to add to the pile.
The fuck you mean “outdated”? That prevision is not a “social media” thing, it’s a “any platform that hosts user generated content” thing.
It’s the only thing that even allows user generated content in the first place. It would effectively break any forum and even hosted chat applications because it would make the platform liable for anything their users do that breaks the law.
But it also adds a bit of protection from BS lawsuits. Considering the current administration has already sued platforms because of users exercising their first amendment this provision insures they don’t actually have a case.
And that’s related to all the platforms based in the US are currently getting strong armed to turn over personal information for any users that criticizes ICE.
That is why they want to get rid of that provision. They want to censor people. They want to isolate people. It’s why they forced the sale of TikTok so they could crack down on political news they didn’t like while promoting propaganda.
They want to get rid of these easy avenues of communication and information for the average person.
Don’t get me wrong. Facebook, twitter, and the like need to be regulated and broken up under antitrust, but getting rid of this provision is not going to do any of that. It’s just going to make them crack down on people’s freedom of speech even more while still allowing hate speech.
Blue states should just drop all gender/sex markers from state documents.
Which is by design.
These people hate women, all women. They want to punish women for being the “wrong kind” of woman. Too tall, too buff, too smart, short hair, no makeup, too fat, too skinny, too tan, etc
They hate trans women specifically because we prove the lie that is what the patriarch is built on, as well as how insecure they are when they do find us attractive, but they are more than happy to use the excuse to attack cis women as well.
It’s why they always use “what” and not “who” when trying to do a gotcha about trans people. They don’t see women as people, and they already have a definition in mind: “Thing I want to fuck”. These people regularly revoke womanhood from any woman that doesn’t appeal to the male gaze.
The problem is that the vast majority of people don’t understand the tech or what it’s capable of.
And for once, this is kind of a real “both sides” argument.
The pro AI side is delusional and think LLMs can do anything, or will “eventually”. You also have a bunch of fascists pushing the tech because generative AI is useful for propaganda in a number of ways and they want to use it to make shitty media because actual artists have generally been anti-fascist.
The anti AI side is more right, but they still buy into the bullshit about what the tech can actually do. They also think AI is going to take all the jobs even though it fundamentally can’t. They ignore that while some companies might try to replace workers they quickly and quietly reverse course and rehire people.
And I’m basically convinced that a lot of the narrative of how the average anti-AI person talks about it is driven by the AI companies because it helps them sell their lies about what the tech is capable of.
Also, both sides ignore that most of the reports of layoffs because of AI are just companies that are using AI as a cover to not freak out investors, but they aren’t actually replacing workers with AI, just reducing the number and overworking the rest.
I know nothing about this guy, but given some unfortunate tendencies among the tech communities I physically recoiled when I read this. If the thing was actually sentient I’d want to get it away from him.
Obviously the guy is another case of AI psychosis.
LLMs, and neural nets in general, literally cannot be sentient. Nerual nets are a very, very, dumbed down model to how brains work, but these are static systems that just output probability based on current context.
Even if we could someday create consciousness or at least something that could actually think it would require completely different hardware than what we currently have. Even if we could run it on current hardware it would require way more resources and power than physically possible.
