It needs more crap, but it’s less of a shitty experience

How and why the fuck is anyone still there

Preservation!

This shiticle has no insight whatsoever, it’s basically a composite advert for three different product/services.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard, you’d have to be deranged to want an extension clicking random shit.

Edit: I’ve actually read it now and while not so bad, I still wouldn’t use this on a computer that has my stuff on it.

Not all features need to be for you.

The only thing I’m asking is not to have to download them since they’re not for me. Just don’t bundle it and I’m happy.

The hope is that processing can be done on devices that can support the models

No, the hope is they don’t cram a model in and it can be NOT TURNED ON at all, never downloading a gb of data I won’t use. If it’s opt out, downloaded with the software, I’m jumping on a fork.

I meant the measure quoted

“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”

This is less useful than libraries of congress.

Why not just install Graphene? That’s the only reason I’d spring for Google’s hardware.

It’s really a smart attack that’s not easily countered and since the weapon is an open source license everyone benefits from tech getting into public domain. RL has shown there’s even less of a moat than we thought initially.

Yes, no, no nothing. People cluster where they will and things fall in and out of fashion. What’s more records in a database?

My “get fucked” goes to every hosted LLM. If it’s not running on my hardware, I’m not interested. I don’t want it to gaslight me according to someone’s instructions or shill for a product /service (which, you know is coming). The difference is like waiting in line to speak to an expert at the counter vs. having said expert blindfolded and chained in your basement.

I’d love to, but the violin is so tiny its bow fell between the cracks in my linoleum

So, it was a skill issue

there is nothing stopping them

how can they do anything?

there is nothing stopping them from doing the same bullshit with firmware updates to the kobos and drm updates to the store and apps.

I never connect the Libra to any network, how can they do anything? I did actually install some updates since there were a few annoying bugs, but I just downloaded the firmware on the pc from https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html and updated it offline. Now all those bugs seem fixed and poor Kobo still hasn’t seen the interwebs

You put a few GPTs in a trenchcoat and they’re obviously AI. I can’t speak about openAIs offerings since I won’t use it as a cloud service, but local deepseek I’ve tried is certainly AI. People are moving the goalposts constantly, with what seems to me a determination to avoid seeing the future that’s already here. Download deepseek-v2-coder 16b if you have 16GB of ram and 10gb of storage space and see for yourselves, it’s ridiculously low requirements for what it can do, it uses 50% of four cpu cores for like 15 seconds to solve a problem with detailed reasoning steps.

OK, it just spits predicted tokens, but in answer to what you asked and sensitive to the context you provided and its predictions are arranged such that when you decode them into language they present evidence or arguments used in thinking or argumentation. It also forms conclusions, inferences and produces results to problems, if you allow me to recycle from a dictionary definition of “reasoning”. It’s not perfect and obviously you can’t cram a huge amount into a 16b distillation and it certainly can get things wrong, but you have to squint to not see reasoning when you ask it to guesstimate something or solve a mathematical problem. It is an LLM but there’s reasoning coming out?
