It could be good.

A GPT-4o-mini comparable system that you can run on a RTX 4090 isn’t going to solve direct problems, but it might have enterprise uses. Text generation automation for personal use should be strong, for example - in place of having a third party API do it.

It isn’t that bad. It also stated new facts to me, like that GTA is owned by Take-Two.

#ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think OpenAI Whisper is run locally, I’ve used it before. So what’s the catch?

I haven’t bought an AMD card in 10 years, but I’ll buy one next. 16GB of VRAM and better performance for about the same price as a 8GB VRAM video card seems nice.

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.

Third party licensed apps are everything on Windows.

That was kind of expected, but Claude isn’t that good either.

I agree. Commercials get in, you get what happened to the Internet. We need something new.

I firmly believe that connecting people to their IRL friends is an important part of the potential of the Internet, as it is shown by Facebook, for example.

But I also believe there are people looking to connect with new people and finding a community where they can express themselves wholly. I think the current Internet is weak in this regard, weaker than it has been before, but I think it’s possible to build a place where people can connect.

That seems like a good idea.

It’s incredible how that proprietary software is actually inefficient e-waste. Most FOSS isn’t bloated or slow, but proprietary software got the high ground because of contracts and “security”, I’m sure.

I know it’s rough. Trying to find a job that pays well and isn’t deep into proprietary stuff like SQL Server, C# and alike. Sadly this scenario is overwhelmingly the case, and until the crowdfunded and open source scenario get strong (they still aren’t) there isn’t too much of an option.

Sometimes Claude Haiku (which has few billion parameters) knows things that ChatGPT doesn’t.
