I know nothing about Lemmy’s architecture, but how does my instance tally votes on a post from another instance?
Does it trust that instance? Does it only take into account votes cast on itself? Does it ask every federated instance for their vote totals?
You can get pretty far with a stack of 5090s and llama.cpp with split mode graph (or so I’ve heard, I’ve never tried), or AMD’s unified memory CPU thing.
It’s not as good as data centre grade stuff, but it’s not nothing either.
Same, pretty much. It is possible though, which makes LLMs a more democratic technology than, say, nuclear reactors.
That’s kinda my point. Roads are a useful technology, but they can be used by fascists.
I’m not here to argue for or against LLMs in general, but self-hostable AI is a thing. Actually open AI is a thing.
A blanket statement saying about AI as a whole technology being good for fascism is about as useful as saying “roads are good for fascism” (they’re great for troop movement after all).
Huh, I hadn’t heard about that! Honestly seems useful, and if it’s only the engine, I don’t see how crypto bros are relevant.
If there’s some “pay to unblock” scheme, that’s a different story.
What are they doing with cryptocurrency now?
Just a guess, but are you missing + Send on your error type?
Huh, how accurate/precise (I always mix them up) were the real patients? Did they just identify every other patient as an imposter?
The person you’re replying to is saying to avoid the scammy buyer offering 2x, and instead list normally at 3-4x.

No no, definitely not what I meant! In some circumstances, it can be sleazy (like “hey ladies”).
To quote the earlier comment:
“woman” still feels too old/mature no matter how old I get
“Ladies” can come across as sleazy, imo. And sometimes you’re in a situation where the class/status suggested by “lady” ends up sounding sarcastic.
“Gals” implies a level of friendship, and “dames” is too old timey.
It’s a tight rope walk of sounding too familiar/formal, implying old/young, or being insulting/demeaning… I conclude that we need a new word.
Proposing a fix is better than no fix? I didn’t know it was possible, and now I’m looking into it.
Changing the default is a social issue, so of course it’s more difficult than changing one’s current setting.
What makes a particular oil so good?
They aren’t using git as a database, they’re using it as revision history. The database is whatever they decide to store in git. For crates.io, for example, they use JSON files in directories.
If you put an sqlite database in git, you are wouldn’t say “git is the database”, and that’s true here too.
That said, yeah, you shouldn’t roll your own database. Take your source code (JSON from crates.io) from git, and compile it into an sqlite file (for example) for download.
Huh, this begs the question: did Voyager acquire enough new crew members to maintain a constant population?
Is Netflix evil these days?
That’s quite interesting, thank you! So for an instance to manipulate votes, they’d have to stream a bunch of fake events.
