I don’t think I have ever paid more than $300 for one.
I bought a pixel 3a discounted to $300 when it was maybe a year old. Then when the 6a came out, I was able to trade in the 3a for a $300 credit, so ended up getting the 6a for maybe $150. Before that, I had a Nexus 5 which I also bought at $300 and held onto for years.
Wtf, they just released stable cascade like a week ago. All they are doing is just confusing the users and model trainers. From the blog post it’s not even clear why I would want to use this one over the other one that they just released.
“AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort and not release it as any software product”.
So AMD decided that it wasn’t worthwhile and so the developer released it on his own. AMDs decisions are just baffling. You still can’t even install Pytorch for rocm on Windows.
I mean, they would have started appearing in there from the first moment that someone created one and hosted it somewhere, no? So it’s already been a thing for a couple years now, I believe.
Here is a simple video that breaks down how neurons work in machine learning. It can give you an idea about how this works and why it would be so difficult for a human to reverse engineer. https://youtu.be/aircAruvnKk?si=RpX2ZVYeW6HV7dHv
They provide a simple example with a few thousand neurons, and even then, we can’t easily tell what the network is doing, because the neurons do not produce any traditional computer code with logic that can be followed. They are just a collection of weights and biases (a bunch of numbers) which transform the input in a some way that the computer decided that it can arrive at the solution. GPT4 contains well over a trillion neurons, for comparison.
It’s nearly limitless because they used nearly 200 lasers. If they built a new one with the full 200 lasers, who knows what could happen.
While I get what you are saying, it’s pretty clear that what he was saying was that if you actually populate the dataset by downloading the images contained in the links (which anyone who is actually using the dataset to train a model would need to do), then you have inadvertantly downloaded illegal images.
It is mentioned repeatedly in the article that the dataset itself is simply a list of urls to the images.
No one is moving to Firefox, because most people don’t care. Just like people stay on Reddit or X, they are going to stay on chrome. Google will feed them shit and they’ll ask for more.
All we can do is worry about ourselves and keep trying to make alternatives viable.
No shit that using your PC for any purpose will consume electricity. A modern GPU can generate an image in a couple of seconds. Or I could just play a video game for an hour, and consume a few thousand times more energy
At the moment, it doesn’t really seem to be that much better. Maybe the frames generated are a little more coherent, but you have less control over it. And from what I have seen so far, it just does very simple motions, like billowing smoke, a turning head, or clouds moving through the sky.
We have had constant advancement in compression. People just keep using it to make higher quality, higher resolution videos rather than actually reducing file sizes.
8gb ram has been common for over a decade now. It’s what I would expect in a sub-$400 laptop.
Yeah… In sure malware is the reason. It’s not that they don’t want people using discord for file hosting.
YouTube ads might frustrate some viewers, but have you ever tried using peertube? I think videos just not working at all would frustrate viewers more than some ads.
Like a week ago, the company behind Odyssey lost a lawsuit and will be shutting down. As of now, no one knows what happens to Odyssey in the future. Maybe some other company buys it and continues to run it. Maybe it changes into something totally different. Maybe it just shuts down.
I literally just started uploading my content on odysee a matter of days ago. Thought I finally found a decent YouTube alternative.
I’ve probably been subscribing to Netflix for a decade now, but this is the largest price increase they have ever done on the basic plan, and this is the first time I have seriously started to consider cancelling.
I need to go through my list and figure out what I really want to watch, and then just binge it. (I have never binge watched anything, but this is giving me an actual incentive to)
I have recently been experimenting with odysee for videos that I can embed into a web page or something, but the service itself doesn’t have enough users to get you views just because you’re there.
You’re never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.
