What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?

The model does have a lot of advantages over sdxl with the right prompting, but it seems to fall apart in prompts with more complex anatomy. Hopefully the community can fix it up once we have working trainers.

The names missing from the list say more about the board’s purpose than the names on it.

The issue is that they have no way of verifying that. We’d have to trust 2 other companies in addition to DDG.

All of Firefox’s ai initiatives including translation and chat are completely local. They have no impact on privacy.

The “why would they make this” people don’t understand how important this type of research is. It’s important to show what’s possible so that we can be ready for it. There are many bad actors already pursuing similar tools if they don’t have them already. The worst case is being blindsided by something not seen before.

The 8B is incredible for it’s size and they’ve managed to do sane refusal training this time for the official instruct.

They’re already lying to get passed the 13 year requirement so I doubt it would make any difference.

Partnered with Adobe research so we’re never going to get the actual model.

Do another 2 day blackout. That’ll show 'em.

I feel like the whole Reddit AI deal is a trap. If any real judgment comes down about data use Reddit is an easy scapegoat. There was basically nothing stopping them from scraping the site for free.

Don’t buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn’t an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.

I got locked out of my now 8+ year old account because I had set it up with an old ISP provided email which has since been deactivated. I can’t migrate because I have to verify with the email and I can’t change the email without setting up security questions, which also requires the email. Support can do nothing.

I don’t think they care about the images being used, just the disruption of service. It’s pretty clear that this wasn’t a coordinated thing from Stability and was at most a lone individual acting in bad faith.

It’s pretty ironic though that the company that practices mass scraping has no rate limits to prevent outages due to mass scraping.

There should be no difference because the video track hasn’t been touched. Some software will display the length of the longest track rather than the length of the main video track. It’s likely that the the audio track was originally longer than the video track and because of the offset it’s now shorter.

You can use tools like ffmpeg and mediainfo to count the actual frames in each to verify.

According to the article:

They are asking a federal judge to say yes to this, specifically:

Developing or distributing software, including Yuzu, that in its ordinary course functions only when cryptographic keys are integrated without authorization, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s prohibition on trafficking in devices that circumvent effective technological measures, because the software is primarily designed for the purpose of circumventing technological measures.

So I think they’re definitely intending to set precedent with this case, though this settlement hasn’t been accepted by the court yet.

Test comment

I believe USB-C is the only connector supported for carrying DisplayPort signals other than DisplayPort itself.

The biggest issue with USB-C for display in my opinion is that cable specs vary so much. A cable with a type c end could carry anywhere from 60-10000MB/s and deliver anywhere from 5-240W. What’s worse is that most aren’t labeled, so even if you know what spec you need you’re going to have a hell of a time finding it in a pile of identical black cables.

Not that I dislike USB-C. It’s a great connector, but the branding of USB has always been a mess.

VESA or bust

USB-C display output uses the Display Port protocol
