Since the project is already okay with Github, perhaps a set of polls in Github with this feature, linked far and wide in Lemmy.

That’s a great point and a really low hanging fruit that would likely help with adoption and retention. The defaults weren’t great for me either.

If people went as far as registering in a Lemmy instance, they clearly have some affinity towards the Fediverse. Getting through Fediverse to work nicely for them is what bridges the gap. It’s the same with anything people do. Better defaults is a trivial low hanging fruit that can help perhaps significantly.

There’s faster ways to get data. We can do a few surveys on existing users. We’ll get hundreds of responses easily. Perhaps multiple surveys, one for each setting.

Thank your for your service. 🙏 Building a community takes work. Let’s hope this one is more resilient to corpo-lobotomize than Reddit, Digg and Slashdot.

Interesting. They already make their motherboards in Vietnam.

JFC… This such a trainwreck…

Reminds me of illegal / semi-legal immigrant labor in US agriculture, US private prisons renting out prisoner labor to businesses. Also the Canadian temporary worker program to a lesser extent.

Well they haven’t seen much abuse yet. They just dodged a nice bump in inflation for a month.

They can criminalize downloading it for example.

Yes

Shit must be bad.

How’re Chinese GPU/AI chip designs coming along?

Probably.

Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.

At least there’s some plausible reasoning for this, instead of blanket headcount reduction to pad profits. Reasoning doesn’t change much of course.

Keep us updated as you get more working.

The Fediverse is the great equalizer. You’ll have to do with upvotes, words and emojis. 😂

but doesn’t DeepSeek’s ability to harness less lower quality processors thereby allow companies like NVIDIA and OPENAI to reconfigure expanding their infrastructure’s abilities to push even further faster?

Not that much if the problem is NP-hard and they were already hitting against the asymptote.

Capital poured into capital-intensive AI not about to give up power without a fight.
