It's a bad example anyway since Mondriaan has been dead since 1944 and all copyright on his works have expired.

We don't do that in Flanders. My husband's name is "Roel Van Gils". People (and computer systems) from the Netherlands do automatically change this to "Roel van Gils" but they are wrong. Also, in Flanders, when

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Flattr. Thinking about it again, I quite liked the idea. But I guess it never really caught on enough.

I've been using Wayland for 5 years now. Never had any serious issues with it either. I have always used AMD GPUs though.

Agreed. Leaving work unfinished, knowing what to do next, is for me the best way to be unable to fall asleep at night. That code just has to get out. I have no problem stopping something when I feel stuck though.

Depends on if they know how to use it. A lot of people still think it's just a google and wikipedia replacement. It doesn't really do anything super useful in that case.

Aren't a lot of base models fine-tuned with (Q)Lora on instruct-based datasets with good results? I thought this was a very common practice?

I'm good for a 30 minute shift either way if we can forever stop talking about this. I really like the extra hour of sunshine in the Summer time, I would miss it. And to think this proposal would even take away an extra hour on top of

I've used vast.ai to do some fine-tuning just a few days ago. It is indeed pretty great, though some servers fail to start up properly, or have some weird performance issues. I also wish they had more templates to try.

Your profile says "I am not rabidly against technology, but I promote a BALANCED, severely critical look at it" "Humanity should give up this useless development of AI" So balanced.

Talking about clinical trials, I'm wondering: does one, as a patient, have to go hunting & searching for these clinical trials yourself, or do doctors mention these when things start to look dire? Asking for a friend that got osteo

My husband is up to his eyeballs in the Apple ecosystem. Macbooks, iMacs, Apple TV, iPhones, homepods, airpods, ... He has it all. I feel like the idea that Apple products work seamlessly together is a bit of an exaggeration. He gets frustr

Exactly, using phrases is so much nicer and better in every way. It annoys me when sites demand a password should have a special character or upper case letter in it. Or even worse: a max length.
