AI really needs dedicated hardware, I feel like if there was more chip manufacturing in the west we might have more diverse chips.

Frankly I'm really confused as to why this llm demand on ram isn't encouraging new companies to manufacture ram. If this is a bubble then we all just wait it out, if it's not a bubble then someone else would swoop in to take up the market.

This feels like more of a 2000s department store credit card dig

I noticed chatgpt was using memories I thought I turned off when it said something really hurtful. I decided to close my account and now I use my own Ollama. Gemma is kinda just as fast but a little stupid, the key is to make sure the model is well informed with enough search results.

Open Webui feels more like chatgpts frontend.

Doesn't feel as horrifying as something like refuling a ship

They're kind of already is. It's the free and open source community.

The problem is phones are actually incredibly impressive pieces of hardware and the fact that we can Mass produce them has diluted that opinion. I'm actually to look into building my own phone and I wanted to have at least some near-flagship specs. I know how to design my own circuit boards and get someone to print them. But acquiring CPUs that perform at least 1/4 as well as Pixels or iPhones is objectively not possible, these companies have deals with manufacturers for exclusive products. And even if you could these chips are so precise you will never be able to figure out the signaling yourself.

Maybe things have gotten better now that we have ai and you don't need to be any sort of expert in anything you just need to be good enough at decision making problem solving and communicating to acquire the skills and knowledge to work on these chips. And by the time you've done all the work and acquired all the hardware you might have spent close to 3 to 5K on a device you could have just bought for $800. All for what, to circumvent privacy breaches that should be illegal in the first place?

And that's the root problem we're trying to solve. Another symptom of these companies being able to engage in the bad behavior that they do is that they gain the ability to overvalue themselves. There should be no safety or privacy concern when engaging in the purchase of any device for the same reason that people should not fear food poisoning every time they go to the grocery store.

That's what the regulators are for. This is a legal issue not a technical one.

But the only underlying cause for why we're not regulating tech companies is because fear of privacy violations is not reducing market activity. Apparently people are still going to use their phones even if their phones are listening to them having private conversations. Apparently people will still buy shit off of their phones even if their phones are going to use that data to show them ads.

Apparently the harm of your privacy being breached does not hurt enough to prevent you from doing good things.

Now if Android takes away my F-Droid, Tasker and Termux I'm gonna throw a fit. That's not privacy that's self-determination, I bought an Android because I can customize it to be as low friction for me as I need, if my phone starts giving me friction then we're going to have problems.

Yeah so I've done that but as far as I understand (based on my experience as a programmer and documentation), it's literally not feasible to reset my Google accounts "personalizations" because Google uses your advertising data to augment the YouTube algo.

It's all one big bowl of spaget and you're the butter

In what feels like 50 years of cable / broadcast television how is there no device that can detect when the ads start to change the channel for you? Maybe we really do need the AI for that.

Thank you

Impressive bash coding. What's your tool chain like? I struggle with my bash scripts getting over 20 lines long

Everyday I start my morning with coffee made from beans I grind and a stiff bonk to the head courtesy of a rake I leave out for the purpose of hopefully waking up on the middle school playground where I'm surrounded with concerned friends.

TIL: that's a backend setting. I'm so embarrassed. Thank you

No cannot change sorting or anything else to make it work.

Also if nothing is appearing with the default settings then that's a problem bc newcomers should not be expected to futz with their frontend just to scroll through stuff. (Sry didn't want to come off snarky just concerned)
