TBH I don't think most people should be on algorithmic social media. Happy people aren't chronically online and these places are machines for brainworm infection and cortisol spiking.

I think "friend only" social timelines and read-only feeds of stuff you're interested in is okay though.

OFC I could never escape the draw of cyberspace, but I am a bit beyond salvation.

Advice for anybody starting a new Fediverse thing: The only real requirement in ActivityPub is that the content type is either application/activity+json or application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams". A lot of people have implemented this.

I think describing this as hazing against new projects might be appropriate.

@hermeticvm@convo.casa @agregore Ohhh I see. This is for the built in LLM UI they have. I am working on JavaScript APIs for web apps to have access to.

@hermeticvm@convo.casa @agregore Oh snap. Is their api stable? Have you tried it out?

For example, Chrome is working on shipping web APIs for LLM access. I'm planning to release something similar in @agregore in the next week or two.

@tychi I tried Qwen2:0.5B and it's almost able to do stuff with very little usage. That's like several hundred orders of magnitude less power consumption whole being ablw to do some small tasks. I think these things could be put to work for specificallt crafted prompts with multi shot for a lot of use cases

I don't think cloud AI will fully go away but I think it'll make less and less sense for consumer facing use cases as the small models become more viable via better training and better hardware acceleration.

I think in the next couple years OS-shipped will replace the use of heavy cloud based . Microsoft, Google, and soon Apple will be shipping devices with local LLMs and it'll be cheaper for applications to target those APIs rather than pay OpenAI or the such. This will also mean that we'll get into a sort of "browser wars" of model functionality gated by hardware vendors.

@dulvui It's a GPD Win 4 and my powe block is an Omni Charge. My fave part of it is the built in keyboard.

🌍 🚨 Breaking News: The #UnitedNations General Assembly has adopted the landmark Pact for the Future & Global Digital Compact this morning, reaffirming global commitment to multilateralism.

@godotengine @aa @technobaboo the main thing missing on other platforms, like steamVR, is the ability to have desktop apps appear as a window while running an immersive XR app.

It’s actually really weird this isn’t a thing as it would solve most use cases for the missing overlay support in OpenXR

years of database software development and yet no real world use found for anything other than Postgres

@390a5738b56da18489cc672da7c2654904096b560ca5ec0581f87c9762f760dc I just use my GPD Win 4. I remapped my controller keys to where I like it and the mini keyboard does the job pretty well. I find alternative keyboards don't handle key combos and all the special characters I need for programming. E.g the tap strap just really didn't do it for me

@liaizon @pfefferle @distributed TY for the ping! We'll add it to our task queue. Im gonna be away for a week but someone else on my team might be able to look before then. 🙇

@fabrefact I ended up inlining an async function I was calling until it worked 😅 Diverted into LocalSet for a bit which was less than fruitful
