I would've chosen Java because it's faster than Python and is good for string manipulation. My cousin would've chosen Brainfuck because he's really good at it. Alas, this discussion is useless because none of us are the

They've captured the online video provider market by price dumping in a way nobody but Google could afford, and have become THE video website. Now they're implementing restrictive measures in a negligent manner that affect first-a

And videos like this one really shouldn't ever have ads, they shouldn't try to block playback for having an adblocker installed, and they shouldn't tell you to "sign in to confirm you're not a bot"[0], and it f

From a quick look phrase corrections is just one type of rule. There are many other rules, some are dynamic like when to use "your" vs "you're", oxford commas, etc. That it doesn't use LLMs is its advantage, it

What models are actually recommended, and how useful is the browser when using them? "We have Ollama integration" isn't very useful when there's no information about which models you should use, what works with them, wha

They kinda do hide their presence. You install a game, maybe see a little splash screen with an anticheat logo in a corner. You wouldn't realize that you've just installed something with such great access over your operating syste

I've backed a different EU alt-hardware project before and it's always more tricky to make a product than it seems. The other project already had finalized most of the design (which took years of work prior to crowdfunding), had m

You're adding metadata, but what problems does this added metadata solve exactly? If your converter can automatically compute these image features, then AI training and inference pipelines can trivially do the same, so I don't see

It's our own fault for making the internet such a confusing Kafkaesque maze. Click this button, click that button, sign in to confirm you're not a bot, select the traffic signs, select the items that a rat would not eat, solve thi

I've stopped recommending LibreOffice to anyone after I found out about OnlyOffice, its UI/UX is much better and I've personally been using it without running into any issues or limitations. I'm not a super big power use

I think at this point we're reaching more incremental updates, which can score higher on some benchmarks but then simultaneously behave worse with real-world prompts, most especially if they were prompt engineered for a specific model.

It would be a political catastrophe right now if the EU blocked US companies due to them needing to comply with temporary US court orders. My guess is this'll be swept under the rug and permitted under the basis of a legal obligation

It seems more accurate than 4o image generation in terms of preserving original details. If I give it my 3D animal character and ask it for a minor change like changing the lighting, 4o will completely mangle the face of my character, it wi

As far as I'm aware there are no open source LLMs that can generate images. There's image generation models like Stable Diffusion but those are not transformer language models so they'd be out of scope for the project

To benefit you have to actually trust the current and future maintainers of the package, its dependencies, the dependencies of its dependencies, etc. You can also automatically get breached in a supply chain attack, so it's a tradeoff
