Open source isn't perfect, but I really appreciate having the option to contribute a fix for bugs when I run into trouble.

I can't even imagine having to rely on proprietary APIs for everything anymore. 😱

you know how when somebody says "the cloud" it actually means "other people's computers"? and how "the economy" really means "rich people's yachts"?

in a similar way, when a company's marketing department says their product is "the first of its kind" - it almost always means either:

1. "we don't know enough about this field to know that somebody created a working solution 30-50 years ago"

or

2. "our competition has already done this but we're willing to bet you don't know that"

Last year, we began an effort to get a #TFLite model running on a VIM3 NPU using Etnaviv & #OpenCL. Our goal? Getting a machine learning workload running on a fully open-source/upstream solution. Here's the latest: openfir.st/mletnv #OpenSource #TensorFlow

'openai' is a fun name … what part is open exactly?

Apparently MSFT gets 75% of OpenAI profits until it recoups $10B… is this why they say OpenAI is a non profit?

So… to recap. Not open. Not a non profit.

Cool cool. #openai #chatgpt

@hank I like to think of this one more as "genuine posting 🥰"

@computerfact I think it's pretty safe to replace any instance of "No one" with "I" when folks say stuff like that. :P

@fabrice Also here's the gist of what I use for my dat-store setups et al: github.com/rangermauve/dat-sto

Have the `proxy_pass` point to the service you want to proxy for.

Dear fediverse, please send me documentation to setup either apache or ngnix as a TLS terminating proxy so that I can serve a.domain.com and b.domain.com on the same IP.

Thanks!

At least I can afford to get food when I don't have time to cook. 🙏

How am I working myself to the point when I don't have time to meet all my needs but at the same time don't have enough money to afford an assistant or some sort of housekeeping. 😭

@tty Big mood. I periodically drift into hyperfixating on STT/TTS engines and pretty much every time I don't find anything that's both open source + offline-capable and actually usable 😭

Talon seems really promising, but the learning curve means I haven't had the spoons to actually invest into it.

@tty Ooo, vosk is super cool. I've been looking into it in the context of the nerd-dictation program. github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dic
