I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

3·1 天前What about the dopper?
This reminds me of something I sometimes see in shows on like Netflix and other media. I can’t remember a specific example, but you often have generic anti-capitalist comments from characters (often portrayed as edgy). It often feels a bit, artificial, like a “fellow kids” moment but politically, I guess? Like activism as a prop / character trait, inserted into a multi-million media production. Maybe someone else can better put it to words, if I had more time I would’ve written a shorter comment

Linux@programming.dev•Visor Is a New Graphical UEFI Boot Manager for LinuxEnglish
2·1 天前Haven’t used Claude code myself, so I wouldn’t know, but a commit to delete only a comment is indeed pretty weird, also most of the commit messages are the GitHub default like “Update gui.h” which is also a bit odd.

15·2 天前Looking at the GitHub repo it seems like the first commit was actually just 2 weeks ago and contained 12k lines. I can’t spot any AGENT.md files, but it does feel like the author quite new to this. That could be explained by them being 16 though like they say on their profile.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI giants learn what everyone else on the modern internet already knowsEnglish
20·2 天前I agree. The worst part about GitHub training LLM’s on my FOSS code without permission for me is that they then keep the models to themselves. Like if you’re going to use all my code without permission, at least allow me to run the model locally.
My personal opinion is that all models trained on copyleft code should be open-weights, most FOSS licenses didn’t account for this specific possibility, but this is the only way to follow them in spirit.
Deepseek recently published a paper in which they describe that vision tokens contain more information than text tokens and that this can be used to compress context.
We present DeepSeek-OCR as an initial investigation into the feasibility of compressing long contexts via optical 2D mapping.
Experiments show that when the number of text tokens is within 10 times that of vision tokens (i.e., a compression ratio < 10×), the model can achieve decoding (OCR) precision of 97%. Even at a compression ratio of 20×, the OCR accuracy still remains at about 60%. This shows considerable promise for research areas such as historical long-context compression and memory forgetting mechanisms in LLMs.
It reminds me of LLM caveman speak, it used to have another option to use Chinese instead of English. A language like Chinese is seemingly better at encoding information in fewer tokens and I think this is the same mechanism why OCR tokens work so well.
That said, I also doubt that voice messages are more efficient than text prompts, but it’s best not to waste too much time engaging with these sorts of LinkedIn posts (and LinkedIn in general).

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Google pays $250K for Linux vulnerability allowing guest VM escapesEnglish
2·2 天前It’s being downvoted with relatively little discourse because it’s an insult with no relevance to the topic, in addition to supporting a comment from someone who is either trolling or has no idea what they’re talking about

Linux@programming.dev•Avoiding Vendor Lock-in By Using KDE Plasma As Personal Knowledge BaseEnglish
5·5 天前This does not seem convenient at all, from the bash script to get relative links, to the file tags which are not synced across devices by standard git or file sync.

Technology@lemmy.world•Framework proved repairable laptops can work, but almost nobody is willing to buy oneEnglish
16·7 天前Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.

Linux@programming.dev•OpenMandriva: Statement regarding attempted distribution sabotageEnglish
5·7 天前It’s interesting that the people who claim to avoid politics being prioritized over technical merit in a project, usually end up doing so themselves. Nobody else cares about whether their Linux Distribution is “woke” (whatever that means) or not. NixOS is innovating with declarative configuration, Bazzite makes itself accessible to a whole new demographic, Debian continues casually maintaining global digital infrastructure and meanwhile in contrast, some are hunting for rainbows.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve releases drivers, notes to make Windows work on Steam hardware, but refuses to support it - doesn’t offer support for ‘Windows on Steam Hardware,’ gaming company provides resources ‘as is’English
212·8 天前The thing is that people don’t want to get that new game that that seems so fun to find out that it doesn’t actually work. Other games not working is seen as a sign of potential future trouble.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts ArgueEnglish
32·14 天前I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk’s decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX’s problem.
Have you tried Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod yet?
It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

AFAIK, their open models are distributed as weights, not executables and are therefore not able to start network connections / run code. There if of course tool-calling functionality but that just works by having the model output a special pattern and having something external run predetermined commands based on that.
