I mainly use Llama-3-8B abliterated for everyday questions, and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite for programming/Linux stuff.

It’s been pretty lackluster so far. Embedded(includes FPGA) is one of AMD’s lowest performing divisions, along with gaming. They’ve used Xilinx circuitry in Ryzen AI CPUs (XDNA), but those have been slow to catch on.

There’s a lot of copium in the AMD_Stock sub about how Lisa is playing the long game and Xilinx will pay off over time, but for now, it’s a drag on revenue, operating margins and return on equity.

We paid $40B+ for a company that brought in less than 1.5B last year. - AMD bagholder, avg price $140😐

As long as I can disable it or opt out of it, I don’t mind. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t want videos recommended to me.

With Youtube, it’s not a big deal because I never log in there, I browse in private mode and set firefox to delete cookies. So when I go to Youtube, I just get a blank page with no recommendations.

But with Peertube, I need to login to get full functionality (federated search, etc). So I would need an option to turn off video recommendations or whatever.

As a computer guy, I can appreciate that working with data is cool - there’s a lot of neat stuff you can determine from it. As a user, it creeps me out. If I went my favorite restaurant, and the waitress recommended something based on the last 5 times I ate there, I would stop going to that restaurant.

Thought you’d never ask. https://youtu.be/i-jdhorGtQI?t=17

My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.

Jerk can’t keep his hands to himself either. I can’t complain to HR cause … you know.

For anyone interested: there’s a new community for small trucks [email protected]

Stuff like this is why I don’t get an Xbox account.

The FSF has published its evaluation of the “Llama 3.1 Community License Agreement.” This is not a free software license and you should not use it, nor any software released under it.

Dumb question here, but why shouldn’t I use it? Maybe I’m missing something in the article.

That’s pretty cool. I’ve tried a few of the distills, but I’ve mostly gone back to regular models.

Looks amazing! This would be a hit over on [email protected].

Damn that’s true. I guess the only real solution is to break it up. Probably have a bigger impact than breaking up Standard Oil.

Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.

Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.

I still have a CD somewhere with all the nude mods I’d collected. You gotta archive the important things.

My Mastodon instance disappeared a few weeks ago, so I’m getting a kick out of this post.

I don’t blame him. I hate it for the residents of those 3 states, but they need to blame Trump, not Ford.

I’m not good at describing things, but I’ll give it a try. Thanks

I know I’m showing my age here, but Incel Camino is brilliant.

A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what’s currently downloading, give a history of what’s been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.

I’m workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don’t know where it’s safe to ask NSFW programming questions.

I’d say the biggest reason is energy, like everyone else. But also, being able to make your room into any fantasy scenario you want would probably lead to problems with adjusting to everyday life. They don’t need a whole ship full of Barclays screwing up at their job.
