The top post on the most well known Lemmy instance (Lemmy.ml) is an announcement from the server admin that Lemmy.ml is now running on a dedicated machine, with 6 cores and 32 gb ram. Good for them, but this is supposed to be the Reddit rep

The main problem with the protest is that there’s no viable Reddit replacement. Back during the Digg fiasco, it was easy for everyone to jump ship to Reddit.

I think we all want a viable Reddit alternative (and Twitter alternative), but the “fediverse” isn’t it. Why? 1. New user experience is very confusing. You have to learn a bunch of dorky sounding terminology right away (instance, fediverse&

This is a good counterpoint, but I would say that if they can’t make money off of having Reddit-like features, how are they making money off Discord in the first place? They aren’t that different. The reason to add Reddit features to Discor

I know it doesn’t allow third party clients, but the difference here is that I like the discord app.

Discord should put out a quick Reddit clone. I imagine they already share a lot of the same users. How much would it take? Make the forum feature more like a subreddit for the server, improve discoverability of discord servers, make a “fron

This sounds kind of frustrating because it would be hard to predict or trigger. “Last time I ran into this error a super helpful window popped up, this time I’m getting nothing?”

Do you find this is a good solution for playing Steam games? I have an older PC, and I'm thinking about replacing it with a macbook air and a steam deck. Does the steam deck feel more limiting than just having a windows PC with steam?

Interesting analogy, since the engine manufacturer also manufactures the car.

Anyone can build an OS without needing billions of dollars, and in fact there are state of the art open source OSes. Not quite the same.

The LLM _is_ the product. Everything else in the stack is window dressing. I don’t think OpenAI’s contribution should be so understated- they built a technology that was considered science fiction just a few years ago. They deserve all the

This point is understated. So many people are going around like "I'm building an AI app!" when the reality is, OpenAI built an AI app, you're just designing a front end for it.

Not many of them. Google or Microsoft can see what works for these startups and then put it in their own products. If you don't own the model, you don't have a safe business.

The article takes too long to get to the point and is wrapped in so many metaphors and newspeak that I feel like I'm being hustled. It is possible to write about this topic clearly and concisely.

> There's an extra constraint involved by requiring that i^2 = -1, which could be written other ways, that ties the two elements of the tuple together. It seems quantum physics requires this constraint in order to describe reality.

Those are software applications, but AI is going into hardware as fast as it can. Imagine a turret gun that can see and think, and makes decisions about targets. Or a robot/drone that uses AI to navigate its environment.

Correctness is also a concern. You can be sure that a program you write will do that, but you can't be sure that the LLM will do that correctly every time.

For many companies this type of promise is not useful. It doesn’t matter that they say they won’t, they still can look if they want to. This is the primary concern when you’re dealing with trade secrets where the secrecy of the information

You are way over simplifying. It is not remotely intellectually challenging to go to the moon. It just takes rocket fuel. Newton solved motion hundreds of years ago, and now high schoolers compute it in physics class.

It's interesting to see all these companies building products wholly off of OpenAI's platform. What happens if OpenAI changes their mind about pricing or access some day? Isn't this an existential risk to all "AI" c
