    Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
    An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.









  • We cant read Apples mind, so thats wishful thinking. But sending telemetry (even if hidden) means it can be used.
    Thats why e.g. Apple is using Differential Privacy for apps to use… to not have to give the Apps full access to e.g. usage data.
    Of course Apple themselves isnt necessarily bound to that system themselves, who knew…

    And why not allow other Apps to replace your default Apps if you want to? Why not have access to that Freedom?
    After all you should be able to do anything you want with your system… or maybe you dont believe in this kind of freedom. Could just buy an Android phone. Fuck the person who wants to actually own their hardware, right? How could they be so dumb and want actual freedom, haha.
    No, we play pretend while Freedom is further taken away under “Privacy” claims. Maybe that replacement battery will send your usage pattern via shortwave radio to an agent nearby…

    too bad… inconveniencing other users was also part of the point. Not sure how not doing anything, but not deleting it has more impact… def. feels like alot less.
    Guess you cant use reddit reliably anymore for searching for stuff, too bad. Use a different platform or hope it has the chance to grow and is less shitty.
    Sorry you are so inconvenienced for continuing to use reddit, otherwise… why would you care?




  • How much time do you have? Because even small models will take alot of time on that kind of hardware to spit out a long text…
    And the small models arent that great. I think the current best and economic model would be a mistral, mixtral or dolphin.
    If you got the power, nous-capybara is very good and “only” 34B parameters (loading alone needs like 40GB of memory).


  • I dont see how e.g. arch would be super hard to maintain.
    There is a nice GUI program for installing programs and updates. (like many modern distros)
    If you dont want to set everything up, go with Endeavour or Garuda.

    I find rolling release to be easier to maintain and keep up to date than non-rolling.
    Specially if you want up to date packages for desktop use.


  • Windows has a request assistance function? wtf… where is that found?
    I only know Remote desktop tools and most of these work perfectly fine on linux as the client or even under Wine.

    [Edit: woah, i did some rambling below here… not related to your specific case here, but some nice information maybe]

    Linux as host is where it gets funny… bigger ones support X11, pretty much none support Wayland.
    To be fair, its impossible to control mouse and keyboard under Wayland without root.
    I think we now have some new desktop packages for gnome and kde which can do that, so now they need to be implemented.

    But i dont see an effort being made for Wayland by the bigger providers in the near future… the market just isnt there and there is lots of uncertainty with the featureset.

    Switched to Rustdesk a while back, works nicely as client, but only picture output with wayland as host.l as of now.
    And i cannot copy&paste under wayland as client… even though it worked before…






  • more time into crafting the right prompt

    Thats not work to you? My company pays me to spend time to do the right thing, even though most of the work does the computer.

    I see where you are going at, but your argument also invalidates other forms of human interaction and creating.

    In my country copyright can only be granted if a certain amount of (human) work went into something. Any work.
    The difficult part is finding out whats enough and what kind of work qualify to lead to some kind of protection, even if partial.
    The difficult part was not to create something, but to prove someone did or didnt put enough work into it.
    I think we can hold generated or assisted goods to the same standard.

    Putting a simple prompt together should probably not be granted protection as no significant work went into it. But refining it, editing the result… maybe thats enough, thats really up to the society to decide.

    At the same time we have to balance the power of machines against human work, so the human work doesnt get totally invalidated, but rather shifted and treated as sub-type.
    Machines already replaced alot of work, also creative ones. Book-printing, forging, producing food… the scary part about generative AI is mainly the speed of them spreading.
