Honestly, the thing that will probably kill LLMs the hardest is someone writing a small language model that fits in JavaScript in a browser and hits comparable benchmarks.

Why bother with all those GPUs and energy usage if your Raspberri Pi could get comparable results?

@janusfox Not me, I hope. I've never been a fan of canned tuna, or most casseroles in general. (Van loves his family's green bean casserole recipe, but I will take a hard pass. ๐Ÿ˜…)

Bumping up this fundraiser to "Save Asher" the kitty.

Today's update from his cat Dad Derek:

They say heโ€™s a very very sick kitty and it can go either way.
He is resting right now beside us on the bed."

Keep Asher in your thoughts (donations are welcome, too, of course. $2,413 raised of 4K.)

@crashdoom I've been told by a couple different people that Whammageddon only applies to the Wham! version.

@crashdoom Was it the actual WHAM! version, though? Covers don't count.

I ran out of buckles I needed and remembered there is a larger looking sewing shop in the old city part that might sell them. So looked if they had an online shop to see if I could go there and get it. Without wasting hours getting there for nothing.

Did what I do every time on shops selling fabrics, I entered fox into the search. Hey don't judge me. :neofoxpeekowo:

But then...

:blobfoxcactus:

:neofoxscreamangry:

:neofoxsipglare:

Yeah, it returned results alright. "Cute 3D fox and bunny print". Excuse me what the fuck, it's "ai" art.

internal screaming

That trash literally drowns the whole world until there is nothing left. But was only a matter of time until they would flood shops with shitty looking "cute" fabrics that were just autogenerated.

I need some cookies now. You should too. Sorry for the rant.

RE: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@E

Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission

I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).

By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?

Thank you for your consideration

@tsukkitsune I even removed the HAT and tried to boot it clean. No HDMI initialization at all. Normally there would be a short graphic intro at power-on.

@tsukkitsune It's strange, though - I tried two monitors, two different power supplies, two Pis, differing combinations of each - thinking, like you, this is too strange of a coincidence.
