Irdial@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources sayEnglish7·2 months agoWhat this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing

Irdial@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Stop using generative AI as a search engineEnglish162·4 months agoIn general I agree with the sentiment of the article, but I think the broader issue is media literacy. When the Internet came about, people had similar reservations about the quality of information, and most of us learned in school how to find quality information online.
LLMs are a tool, and people need to learn how to use them correctly and responsibly. I’ve been using Perplexity.AI as a search engine for a while now, and I think they’re taking the right approach. It employs LLMs at different stages to parse your query, perform web searches on your behalf, and summarize findings. It provides in-text citations as well, which is an opportunity for a media-literate person to confirm the validity of anything important.

Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.

Irdial@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Novelist Sean Michaels envisions what life will look like 125 years from nowEnglish4·6 months agoAnyone who found this interesting should check out Nick Harkawway’s novel Gnomon. It’s set in a near-future society with a similar kind of omnipresent and ambivalent AI/surveillance system, combined with some fantasy elements.
Ollama provides a Python API which may be useful. You could have it generate the story in chunks, having it generate a list of key points which get passed to subsequent prompts. Maybe…
