Surely nobody can be that dumb?

Thanks for the laugh

Be aware that hardware access from a virtual machine(for an audio interface, for example) can be jittery or slow (latency), which might make it unusable for your purposes or not. You’ll have to find out.

What a dumb post

Finally!

Like that time they made their own Powershell imitation of curl? (before deciding it was an abomination and finally including stock curl, but not removing the old Powershell commandlet because of backwards compatibility so now curl and curl.exe are two different things and you’ll want the latter)

It’s kind of ironic that a mod felt the need to bring the censorship down like that, instead of allowing for an open discussion.

You’d be wrong. Open source has a commonly accepted definition and a CC licensed PNG does not fall under it. It’s copyleft, yes, but not open source.

I do agree that model weights are data and can be given a license, including CC0. There might be some argument about how one can assign a license to weights derived from copyrighted works, but I won’t get into that right now. I wouldn’t call even the most liberally licensed model weights open-source though.

… You mean desktop.ini?

Not really. I think most people containing about this also complain abiut that. Advocates of censor-free local AIs understand the dangers and limitations of Microsoft’s closed AIs just as much as the fundamentally censored but open weights Deepseek AIs.

His writings sound like that of someone suffering from paranoid delusions. We’d have to take every claim he makes about the news site feeding info to law enforcement, the gps trackers, the FBI being in on it, the undercover cops tailing him, AT&T being in on it at face value. He’s seeing patterns where there are none.

Apparently all this started during a messy divorce. Our minds can do funny things under stress, like deluding ourselves into a persecution complex and making everything fit that, rather than having to deal with an uglier truth.

You can survive him. Just don’t think that him cosplaying as tough dad has any bearing on who you should choose to be or deserve to become. We all deserve supporting, emotionally mature parents. That you didn’t get one is not your fault.

Less fun fact: Some terminal windows will happily process and display such high F-keys as input, leaving you with a screen full of garbage when you return.

Of course he has a fish he caught as his fb avatar

But, then again, it’s hexbear…

Now give me an example of a corporate board at Intel’s scale being responsible when given the choice between being responsible or buttloads of short-term profits.

I would add: until it doesn’t.

All accurate, except the Microsoft one. Microsoft makes you pay for enterprise development tools, but not for libraries.

I do wonder what prevents BlueSky from going the way Twitter did, though.

I still dont understand why u cant distribute a large llm over many different processors each holding a section of the parameters in memory.

Because each weight in a layer influences each weight in the next layer, which means the bandwidth requirements are enormous and regular networking solutions are insufficient for that.
