Low key wish I was a morning person.
Rewatching Spaceballs. Honestly I wish more movies were this goofy
Private heathcare should not be commercially viable. Until the poorest are covered the rich should be made to suffer or else nothing will change.

@yhancik @darius The old thinking was that you should be rotating your gender every 90 days for security reasons but that’s proven to be an ineffective approach. Modern best practices are to use a unique and complex gender for every interaction, to avoid repetition and store them in a secure gender manager. This makes it easier to change genders when one relationship is compromised, and protects you against gender-stuffing attacks.

If your “open source software” requires a datacenter-scale strata and is optimized for, or maybe only meaningful to, datacenter-scale problems, is not open source in any way that matters. “Free as in corporate risk management” and “free as in labor arbitrage” are not aspirations.
@dansup A similar model is etke.cc and their hosting. You can give them ssh access and they can set up their docker automations for running services. I fins it quite convenient.
@fleeky yeah sadly fine tuning needs way more resources than I have available. :( Maybe if I get an egpu?

Shitty dollar store painting. Cheap trash is worth a lot when the expensive is unattainable. #art
@fleeky I only use locally runnable models so I have no clue how well it compares to the big corpo ones. 🤷 Sadly the code Ibwas using this on is a proprietary codebase so I can't share it. I ended uo deleting and rewriting myself like three times. It was some pretty basic cli arg parsing code tho
@cwebber Interesting. My main frustratiom is thatthe code it write just isn't anywhere near the quality I need and it generates stuff that barely makes sense. I've mostly been exploring this as an alternative to speech to text coding and for doing some quick formatting but so far it's just sucked. Even very junior devs need less hand holding and reviews
Even though I still don't have screen sharing or a KDE dark theme working, I at least have an Emoji picker via wofi-emoji on my niri setup. 💜
@hermeticvm@convo.casa Cool to hear ty for sharing. Is your code published somewhere I may read?
Today I was trying to get it to generate some cli commands in Node.js (this is with phi3+continue via ollama) but t has trouble adhering to the specific syntax and structure I wanted it to use.
I found a big issue for me has been hallucinated packages or APIs within packages. Maybe doing multi step stuff where inject context from api docs could help there.
@hermeticvm@convo.casa Yeah I'm using continue.dev with ollama and phi3
Previously I used some 7B models that were just too slow.
The starcoder model has been giving okay suggestions once in a while but is super slow still. Deepseek seems to be too dumb to do anything useful.
@cwebber Is this from personal experience and finding out or second hand from what others have said?
Are folks using #ai copilots for generating code successfully? Mine gets confused on syntax a bunch but it's a local model which is general rather than code specific. Like I wonder if I am prompting it poorly or something

The difference between mastodon and tiktok is that mastodon is for shouting into the void and tiktok is for staring into the abyss.

With the Web becoming filled with LLM-generated babble and toxic bullshit, there is an historical precedent for a solution to the problem of finding information on the internet.
Once upon a time, there was a project called DMOZ, and it was a human-curated hierarchical link directory, divided into subjects.
I think that's a brilliant thing, and provided it was still 100% human curated, there would be great utility in such things -- each curator would be assigned to a "beat", a subject area where their existing knowledge allows them to identify real human-made content, curated for accuracy, and link it in the directory, with an entry and some kind of automated polling to ensure that dead links are brought to the curator's attention for maintenance or removal.

Did you know that Dansup who made PixelFed is working on a federated TikTok clone called Loops and it looks extremely good https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112331179499992996
Dansup has been posting a lot about the WIP and the design choices are very user-centric in a way that the Fediverse sometimes is not
@trwnh I think pre facebook fedi was just email and mailong lists :P
