What country is that?

Adorable.

This is important. I dunno about scale, but backups. I started out hosting a chat room on a raspberry pi. It was a fun side project. But then, that became where my friends all hung out. That was the place, so it became important to me. And then the SD card got corrupted. I then moved on to a consumer laptop. It was way more stable, much faster. But if I messed up anything about the installation, I was hosed.

I very highly suggest using Proxmox, like you say, and setting up automatic backups. And occasionally transfer them to a hard drive. It doesn’t matter what kind of virtual CPUs or services you install, gedaliyah@lemmy.world, as long as you have a plan for when something you host becomes important to you and you lose it.

Unfortunately the US is just… very right wing. Even the democrats are right of center on most things. This is just a conservative country. The democrats are about as left as you get in this country with any mainstream support, no matter how much we wish it weren’t so.

And I know man, I hate it, and I’m not going to lecture anyone that votes their conscious. If you don’t want to vote for democrats, and Biden specifically, I can’t blame you. It bewilders me that the most we can get from him over a goddamn genocide is “that’s a little much, Jack.” If you can’t vote for that I get it.

Just don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the US is more left leaning than it is. We might win on issue-to-issue polls, but when it comes down to it we’re a selfish nation that has bought into the temporarily embarrassed millionaire meme. And I don’t think that’s just the pessimism talking. We have generations worth of work ahead of us.

I’m not entirely sure how this would help with that, though. Is the model watermarked with your info or something? If you post the result anonymously, I don’t know how you’d track it back to someone that submitted their info here.

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

C# is good. I use Visual Studio on Windows, so I’m not familiar with the tooling in VS Code in Linux, but I’ve heard good things. .NET is a nice environment to work in, the runtime works on all the OSs, and you can even package it into a self-contained binary with a little finagling.

The problems I’ve had with my RPis have all revolved around the fragility of their SD storage. I got burned one too many times trying to host something important in my house with these things, just for them to get corrupted and lose everything. Backing up these systems was its own nightmare, which failed as much as it succeeded.

Man, research is advancing at a tremendous pace. So excited about where this is all heading!

I wonder if this model would see an increase in quality if it had the same quantity of data as something like stable diffusion. It is impressive, but I’ve found that it lacks knowledge of some things that stable diffusion understands.

If they could force you to pay a royalty every time you so much as thought of a book you once read, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Looks pretty neat. Hope it is released with a commercial license soon.

What is the practical application of this?

You mean Chromium Brave Edition?

I think a lot of people in this thread are just upset/projecting because this is the first real hint that they’re not as much of a special-boy-programmer as they think. OP’s use case is fairly limited in scope, using the LLM for something it is actually pretty good for, and never implied he doesn’t check the output. They’ll never admit it, and will deflect, but they’re just worried.

Of course he knows why he made the changes. He made them. But computers are much faster as typing and with a sophisticated enough LLM you can offload some gruntwork. I’d argue if you’re not utilizing all the tools at your disposal, you’re not performing like you should.

From all the war stories you see online, they don’t have that much to lose.

Fair, but the more people you have, with more diverse viewpoints, the harder it will be to get people to agree on what is hateful. And the more nuanced your laws, the harder it will be to agree on what is reasonable or even clear.

If the populace has a bigoted plurality, then they get to declare what is officially hateful. So yes, you’re right.

I put the onus on the collective citizenry, but there is no perfect solution in reality. There is a role for the state to play in protecting people, I just don’t think they should dip much into what speech is or isn’t allowed. The majority should rule in my opinion, but we have the job of maintaining a majority that isn’t regressive bigoted shitheads. It’s an eternal struggle, unfortunately.

You’re partly right. But it’s the job of the citizenry to stand up to this stuff, not the state. We can’t keep our heads down and hope it goes away on its own. We shouldn’t allow the state, with its monopoly on violence, to fight our social battles for us.

I dislike the idea of the state getting to start making decisions on what is “hateful”. And I’m disgusted we don’t have more people standing up and loudly declaring how wrong the hateful viewpoints are. It is our responsibility and we are failing.

It is a tempting proposition to let the state handle hateful speech, but we don’t have to look much further than Florida to see what happens when the shit side is in power and starts redefining what is “hateful”.
