some nice shit in this

All current popular AI is meant to run on GPU. Why are you going to spend more money to run it on hardware for which it isn’t intended?

I mean … this person works for the department of government EFFICIENCY, right?

<amidala face>

… which would be?

Because to me it looks like someone asking to use an LLM to parse things that were created to specifically be parsed by machines. Looks like someone who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. I’m open to being educated on what that subtle question you’re referring to might be, and how this person is somehow experienced and being nuanced, just drop it on me.

The N100 is a nice little chip for mini home servers. I run podman containers for all media stuff with no issues. You’re gonna have fun.

How can Mastodon fix this? How is this a Mastodon issue vs. any kind of social media?

Mastodon is open source, as well, right? It feels like someone should be able to fork it if they’re really ignoring useful features that would help people.

Can you point me at them? Which ones?

I don’t use Mastodon so I have no idea what’s going on, but I am curious what y’all in this thread would want Mastodon to do.

Can’t you set up an instance and moderate it to your preference like other federation style apps?

What specific features are you saying are needed to make Mastodon more usable for any community that might find itself feeling less than welcome?

Timelines change based on interest.

Servo is a new browser rendering engine in Rust - seems interesting and gathering steam.

Don’t be too fatalistic - every time the corpos have come for the internet they have been circumvented. I don’t see it stopping now - especially since people like us are tired of this brand of bullshit.

He venue shopped this to TX to get the judge he wanted. We are gonn have to deal with this bullshit until it can be appealed out of one of our national judicial shitholes.

Can uh … can y’all help a lazy man out with a link to this community?

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

…

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

These JSON memes got me feeing like some junior dev out there is upset because they haven’t read and understood the docs.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

👍

I am who my name says and I have a degree in CS if that’s what you are asking.
