How does that work? You've got to tap the touchpad to trigger the initial click, don't you? For some reason, I really HATE tapping a touchpad (let that be an Apple or otherwise), it breaks my flow, I suppose? (like, you have to pa

ejabberd's documentation warns you against using mnesia for chat logs because it apparently has a hard cap on volumetry. Any SQL DB does the job.

Funny thing to say in 2025, but you are probably better off using Linux. The Windows drivers ecosystem is a mess, manufacturers don't care to develop or maintain drivers beyond the "get the product out of the door" phase.

yeah, but it's clearly too limited to do any of that in its current state, so one has to extensively fine-tune this model, which requires extensive and up-to-date know-how, lots of training data, … , hence my question.

You have a spectrum of options going from centralised (Signal, WhatsApp, …) to federated (XMPP, Matrix) to P2P. In my opinion, federated is the sweet spot: you do have to trust the server with your account management, but that server can ea

Why would there be logic involved? This is a LLM, not electronic intelligence.

Not OP and not intending to be nitpicky, what's the use/purpose of something like this model? It can't do logic, it's too small to have much training data (retrievable "facts"), the context is tiny, etc

Not really, only "merchants" are trying to package and sell LLMs as "artificial intelligence". To this day AI still very much is the name of a research field focused on computational methods: it's not a discovery, i
