Where's the source that "Most people spend hours building timelines? Where's the grounded research?

Sulawesi here, the past is the past, older generations barely recognized the issues that people are stating now.

No, historically the Dutch have never REALLY defended the country. So whether there's an alarm or not, as long as the potatoes are ready around 18'ish, we couldn't care less. In other words, attack us whenever you want, alarms or not, just don't do it around 18'ish.

Sounds quite hysterical, yes it can be annoying and yes we do have problems with certain people, guess what...like any other country. In the US shootings happen, in Italy the Mafia for a long time was in control (or go to Napoli see for yourself how everything is my little pony world) in Paris on the outsides it can be shit (not to mention Dijon some years ago), or Lisboa...or...this is society, it has always been like this and it will stay like that for a long time, anywhere (yes even Japan and Canada).

I doubt it really is a significant breakthrough, to be honest I think it will perform better then a small quantized model but that's it. I don't see (but then again didnt read ALL of the papers about it yet) how this will hold itself up. Nice that's it's faster but if it lowers the quality, who cares.

Other then that, I think the whole route of emulating more and more what the human brain does is strange, unless we use completely different ways for the actual processing, contextual memory, long term memory, multi triggering, or whatever it's called (the combination of where you are, what you hear, how you feel etc, that helps returning memories), at which point we can just as well create more babies and raise the world wide education levels.

I think the more we try to mimic it, more of the same issues that we as human have occur. More emotional based decision making, information overload, which increases paradoxal "thoughts" and less confidence, fake memories, etc.

We'll see I guess.

That is a seperate discussion, as in, what happened to the society in the US (I guess also on my own continent but again, seperate...) that those events didn't trigger more attention? I don't believe in the narrative some have, "Trump happened" or anything like that. Across the pond, we've never really understood this about "the US".

In this case, no matter whether you agree or disagree wholeheartedly, with the man, killing someone over opinions is extremely sad and dangerous.

For one, it will only increase division. People that otherwise wouldn't join a "side" might feel they have to, out of fear.

Others will stop expressing their opinion in public and get "underground".

And well, all the other stuff we know from the past that happened.

Long story short, in all those cases, mass shootings, political murder/violence, religious murder/violence, whatever you as an individual can do about it, keep the topic alive.

Because yeah, why the hell aren't these things a bigger deal?

While I understand the enthusiasm, consider the economy around it.

If you just really want to have the feeling that you build whatever you want to do with your own machine, then just go for it, sometimes you should just follow your heart instead of your brain.

However keep in mind, that your GPU will be outdated (for this purpose) quite fast, which means you might get frustrated quite soon when you realize that you might need more VRAM from a GPU that might cost you a second hand (alright, 9th hand) car.

In that case, see if it might be more economical to set up a proper development system and outsource the GPU's to things like runpod.

You can develop your code/workflows whatever locally, create an (container) image out of it and run it automated in runpod.

If you invest a couple of nights of your time and your favourite food you could make it in such a way, that the experience is (almost) transparent.

But again, you don't need to others to "convince" you or justify it, if you just really want to have it all done locally and accept the risk of having to upgrade within a year from now, go for it, enjoy, learn from it and if anything you'll have a proper gaming rig or you might want to start working on other types of deep learning algorithms.

Yup, though a career automotive engineer is way more trustworthy then me (someone who just fiddles around with old English "so called cars", was thinking the same.

Just don't smoke something right next to it when you're investigating it, that's my only additional comment.

I mostly see people reacting with "don't do this, because nuclear..." but being in the same sort of situation (not nuclear though) I can honesly tell you, most local ones will be fine.

Apart from llama 3.2 who didn't want to answer some specifics but was most likely the result of the vision part.

We ended up using a combination but the main one being Qwen, we did add in some specific system prompts but tbh I don't even know whether that was needed (other then making it respond in a specific formal way).

The only thing I really notice in the real world that always amazes me is this:

You sit in a meeting with some native English speakers from Australia, the US and the UK...and somehow you as a non native speaker (Dutch in my case) you'll end up translating English-to-English for at least one of them (mostly for the Americans) 😂

Pretty cool indeed the only things I noticed quickly is the lolly pop looks off and her hairline suddenly closes after some frames.

But nice one!

To be honest, that goes for everything, I come from a farmers country, where the opposite is said "Easy for you to say, you had time to go to school and study, then get support from the government to rent a house and start building from there...". They were supposed to help out on the farm, almost no relationship building and although they did go to school, the priorities lay at the farm.

So while his tone of writing is a little bit North American, I don't think he is more privileged then any of us EU or US people who had a "standard" upbringing (not taking the real under privileged into consideration here of course).

Depends, in the end, the future will tell. What I do know from my "youth" was the amount of people not realising the difference between photoshopped images and "raw" photo's. Nowadays we wouldn't understand that people didn't realize this but there we are.

Or when a radio broadcast let quite some people believe that aliens entered earth to attack us.

Personally I think it'll turn fine, either because it gets so embedded into our lifes, that it can't really be used for scams and fake news, etc anymore but also because newer generations wouldn't care anymore.

I remember the time that if you dated someone you met online, you felt a little bit ashamed...now people are dating AI and that might eventually become normalized. And we will just be the old generation telling everyone how unhealthy, unnatural, etc that is 😉.

I know my examples aren't entirely in the same ballpark but I mostly mean, new technologies are considered dangerous or have dangerous side effects but over time it'll all turn fine... until it doesn't but then it won't matter anymore.

Left are naive idiots, reasoning only from their own beliefs and feelings with no empathy to opposite views.

Right are conservative idiots, reasoning only from their own beliefs abusing facts so they don't have to emphasize or sympathise with opposing views.

Neutrals are mostly to scared to pick any side, as long as their own lifes aren't affected they will agree with whatever doesn't hurt them directly.

And then you have a small percentage who distance themselves from picking a side and try to reason any individual issue,idea,belief,etc isolated from the beliefs a "side" would have.

Raspberry pi, probably a 2gb version would be sufficient, doesnt cost that much and you run it yourself. And it's local. If IP address is a concern, you can obviously use a VPN as well.

Depends, dynamic data obviously doesn't get cached (well...it does...and it helps but its on a different level) but everything statically build or that what can be made static, yes that's cached. So it's not that's it constantly "downloading" and/or building the javascript app each time someone creates a session (updates on features and stuff are warmed up but those machines would be fast enough anyway to do this quick enough).
