Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Emphasis mine. Incompetence on Microsoft’s part is not an adequate explanation for this latest action matching a pattern of other actions designed to antagonize FOSS users.

YAAAAAAASSSSS AKERFELDT IS GROWLING AGAIN!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

To understand memes

I’m funny

No

It can use ChatGPT I believe, or you could use a local GPT or several other LLM architectures.

GPTs are trained by “trying to fill in the next word”, or more simply could be described as a “spicy autocomplete”, whereas BERTs try to “fill in the blanks”. So it might be worth looking into other LLM architectures if you’re not in the market for an autocomplete.

Personally, I’m going to look into this. Also it would furnish a good excuse to learn about Docker and how SearXNG works.

LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn’t solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Google using ai, everyone hates it

Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.

Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it’s going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.

If Justin/anyone at Cockos is reading this: please open-source REAPER. You really would be doing the audio community a huge service.

Theoretically this exists: https://github.com/Nikilites/nuzu

Also, I managed to install the Flatpak of Yuzu off FlatHub about a half hour ago.

What are you doing in assembly?

Nice

I want to help but I’m making zero money. Zero times any percentage is zero.

Yeah when I searched for “insert-mode” from another comment, the next suggested result was “insert-mode vim” and “insert-mode visual studio” (which IIRC is just aping vim), plus it’s /c/programmerhumor so I had a feeling that it would be vim shenanigans.

Wait doesn’t Shift + I just type “I”?

Home is God-tier, just as useful as End when editing stuff.

Boot out corporate shitware, boot out adverts, and stop collecting data unless it is absolutely necessary, or alternatively just cancel the fucking product and don’t do it.

I mean “ruined” is a bit strong, right? I’m no fan of Jimmy Wales but Wikipedia is still pretty good IMO for non-political stuff. It’s my first choice to look up math stuff so on that basis alone it gets my vote.

I use FreeTube as my “TV”. A++ app. Hope they get bookmarked playlists working soon.

Aren’t we not living in the future by construction?

Mind your fucking language! /s

Is it wrong to pirate {anything}

No.
