I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.
Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.
You did good work homie!
This + Local Wikipedia + My own writings would be sick
nagaram@startrek.websitetoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who enjoy eating eating buldak original or hotter noodles. Do you feel nothing when you eat hot buffalo wings? Do you just drown food in hot sauce on a regular basis?
0·8 months agoMost “hot” wings mean nothing to me
But I don’t drown things in hot sauce since I like flavor AND heat so I carry around a few really good bottles of Ghost pepper/reaper hot sauce since there is a really nice smoky flavor with it.
Its a nice way to elevate cheap food and be viewed as a demi god by the weak and like a small child by the south east Asians.
I know my white people ghost pepper sauce is nothing compared to what Raj’s baby sister has for breakfast.

nagaram@startrek.websitetoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•What content creators would you recommend me based on the ones I follow?
0·10 months agoI think a real hobby would help with your mental health…
It was really simple to do in Proxmox.
You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.
My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40
It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.
The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.
Are you using truenas as the entire homelab?
I also love messing with stuff until it breaks and I learn something, but I’ve decided I just want my files to be accessible.
So I actually have truenas virtualized with a passed through HBA so I can run proxmox to host all my breakable VMs while leaving truenas alone.
Apparently you can turn those off but I haven’t bothered.

0·1 year agoIs it a HUD or just a spy tool?
I gotta wear glasses anyways so it’d be cool if I can get like a pathing over lay with maps and maybe customizable notifications.
But video calling and just taking poorly framed pictures isn’t interesting.

Opening ports to the network seems to “just work” or be hours of forum diving.

Technology@beehaw.org•They thought they were making technological breakthroughs. It was an AI-sparked delusion.
9·1 year agoI learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.
ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.
Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice
His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.
There were some issues though.
For instance it responded to
“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”
And it said
“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”
Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.
Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER
So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Alternative to github for hosting portfolio pieces, personal projects, etc. ?

Yeah!
So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.
I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.
This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.
My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.
Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.

Anyways I’m gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.
I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I’ve been reading “Atlas of AI” by Kate Crawford and you’re right. So much of the data that they’re trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it’s probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.
I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn’t a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it’s worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.


I’m a simple man.
I got to thepiratebay.org
I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server
I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.
Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!
