How long until CPUs and GPUs just merge into one thing

Fixing anything in industry is like fighting a very big, very lazy elephant seal bull

The only real advantage of local AI is privacy and that it’s much cheaper if you use it a lot.

The only consumer use case I see in the wild with some real momentum behind it is role play.

All the local AI communities I browse are 50% people trying to find usecases for it at their job (like me; unsuccessfully I might add) and 50% people interested in role play.

People will apparently spend thousands to jerk off to a soulless machine demon simulacrum shell of a human.

To be fair, I can see the appeal of local AI for video games, like RPGs. There is this really fun game called “Suck Up”, where you are a vampire trying to convince AI to let you inside their house. That is the one real “killer” application I see atm.

I personally see a lot of other useful usecases for local AI, but from my experience at work, I would estimste it will take another 5 years until any of it is anywhere near consumer ready.

local AI is cool and all, but neither the hardware nor the models are really ready for your average consumer

why are you so interested in logs? are you like a lumberjack?

I’m so glad to see X as a service fail miserably everywhere

It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

It’s the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA

Congratulations 🤠🥾er

There is nothing that bugs me more than the intentional enshittification of mobile websites/apps.

I don’t want all your shitty apps.

Why do I need an app on mobile, but the website works fine in desktop mode?

Why do mobile browsers even allow shitty sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to forbid you to save images.

I wouldn’t even care, if every second image search result wasn’t one of these horrible sites.

I think you are looking at work horse distros, like Ubuntu, Fedora, etc… That by now are heavily used for productive work, not personal use. So they favor stability and minor quality of life improvements over shiny new updates.

There’s plenty shiny new cutting edge distros out there that are innovating, e.g. Nix, Silverblue, VanillaOS, all the container focused ones CoreOS, Container OS, Flatcar Container Linux and probably dozens more newer ones I am not aware of .

oh that is very neato, if I do say so myself

Off-topic: That website is so nice. I’ve never seen any mobile site load that fast and look as nice

Linglong lunar, what a name.

Sounds like a sterotypically Chinese woman in traditional dress in a neonoir cyberpunk story that takes place on the Moon. My name is “Linglong Luna”. She’s dating Don Lon from London.
