DuckAI is an open and scalable academic lab and open-source community working on various Machine Learning projects. Our team consists of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and beyond, driven by our passion for investigating large language models and multimodal systems.

Our present endeavors concentrate on the development and analysis of a variety of dataset projects, with the aim of comprehending the depth and performance of these models across diverse domains.

Our objective is to welcome people with a variety of backgrounds to cutting-edge ML projects and rapidly scale up our community to make an impact on the ML landscape.

We are particularly devoted to open-sourcing datasets that can turn into an important infrastructure for the community and exploring various ways to improve the design of foundation models.

I just got Oobabooga running for the first time with Llama-2, and have Automatic1111, and ComfyUI running for images. I am curious about ML too but I don't know where this start with that one yet.

For the uninitiated, all of these tools are running offline open source (or mostly) models.

Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit.

I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

My best list of free ChatGPT and other models. Required - no signups.

Creating a new A.I. system requires lots of money and lots of computing power, which is controlled by the industry’s giants.

We used ChatGPT, Text-To-Speech Synthesis, and a Raspberry Pi to create a digital assistant that can reply as almost anyone you can think of - like Joe Rogan, David Attenborough, or NDT. This video took a crazy amount of time and effort (even just for the editing), hopefully the people here appreciate it a bit more than the people on reddit did!

I've observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.

If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?

Title. myself and my colleague did notice that chatGPT (GPT4) started to answer very poorly in the recent month or so. For example, it was quite efficient at drawing mermaid charts, but not anymore. It fails to do a simple drawing.

Also I've seen quote a lot of posts regarding GPT4 quality downgrade on r/ChatGPT subreddit.

so I guess it's confirmed that OpenAI has downgraded quality of ChatGPT. Whatever that reason is - I stopped paying for ChatGPT and simply use GPT4 API with some ChatGPT interface for simple questions. It's going to be even cheaper for me.

What browser extensions do you use that you'd recommend to others?

Do you contribute to any FOSS browser extension projects?

Are there any non-FOSS extensions that you wish had a sufficient FOSS alternative?

Folks in this group would be well aware of various cloud load-balancers. Today I would like to introduce LoxiLB.

LoxiLB is a modern open source cloud-native load-balancer which uses goLang and eBPF tech provided by the Linux kernel. It's architecture and offerings makes it fast and flexible compared to others.

Check out this link to know what makes LoxiLB different from others:

Feel free to explore and give it a try!!!

A Friday blog post details the Bluesky team's moderation proposals for “a shared public commons,” using things like lists, hashtags, and even “per-thread” tools that would give moderation power to each poster. The latter treats threads like a mini-forum: if you don’t like a reply, you can yeet that skeet (or just hide it). The post acknowledges why this might be problematic: Along with algorithms, hands-off moderation fits right into Jack Dorsey’s original concept for decentralized social media.

In light of the ongoing Reddit blackout, many users are seeking alternative platforms to host their communities. One popular option is Lemmy, a self-hosted federated link aggregator. However, most of the available documentation on running Lemmy involves using Nginx or Caddy as a reverse proxy. If you're utilizing Traefik with docker-compose and docker labels on your server, this guide will walk you through the process of setting up a working Lemmy instance without the need for Nginx or Caddy.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Docker Compose Configuration: To begin, create a new docker-compose.yml file and include the necessary services for running Lemmy. Here's a sample configuration to get you started:

   version: "3.7"
   
   services:
     web:
       image: dessalines/lemmy:0.17.4
       restart: always
       logging:
         driver: journald
         options:
           tag: "{{.Name}}[{{.ID}}]"
       environment:
         - RUST_LOG="warn,lemmy_server=info,lemmy_api=info,lemmy_api_common=info,lemmy_api_crud=info,lemmy_apub=info,lemmy_db_schema=info,lemmy_db_views=info,lemmy_db_views_actor=info,lemmy_db_views_moderator=info,lemmy_routes=info,lemmy_utils=info,lemmy_websocket=info"
       volumes:
         - ./lemmy.hjson:/config/config.hjson
       depends_on:
         - db
       networks:
         - default
         - reverse_proxy
       labels:
         - traefik.enable=true
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom.rule=Host(`lemmy.example.com`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`, `/pictrs`, `/feeds`, `/nodeinfo`, `/.well-known`) || Method(`POST`) || HeadersRegexp(`Accept`, `^[Aa]pplication/.*`))
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom.rule=Host(`lemmy.example.com`) && (PathPrefix(`/api`, `/pictrs`, `/feeds`, `/nodeinfo`, `/.well-known`) || Method(`POST`) || HeadersRegexp(`Accept`, `^[Aa]pplication/.*`))
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom.entrypoints=http
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom.entrypoints=https
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom.middlewares=https_redirect@file
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
     web-frontend:
       image: dessalines/lemmy-ui:0.17.4
       environment:
         - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=web:8536
         - LEMMY_UI_LEMMY_EXTERNAL_HOST=localhost:1236
         - LEMMY_HTTPS=true
       depends_on:
         - web
       restart: always
       logging:
         driver: journald
         options:
           tag: "{{.Name}}[{{.ID}}]"
       networks:
         - default
         - reverse_proxy
   labels:
         - traefik.enable=true
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom_static.rule=Host(`lemmy.example.com`)
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom_static.rule=Host(`lemmy.example.com`)
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom_static.entrypoints=http
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom_static.entrypoints=https
         - traefik.http.routers.http_lemmyexamplecom_static.middlewares=https_redirect@file
         - traefik.http.routers.https_lemmyexamplecom_static.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
     db:
       image: postgres:15-alpine
       hostname: db
       environment:
         - POSTGRES_USER=lemmy
         - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
       volumes:
         - db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
       restart: always
       logging:
         driver: journald
         options:
           tag: "{{.Name}}[{{.ID}}]"
       networks:
         - default
   
   networks:
     reverse_proxy:
       external: true
   
   volumes:
     db:
   

2. Adjust Hostname: Remember to replace the placeholder hostname in the configuration with the actual hostname of your server. This ensures that Lemmy is accessible via the correct URL. Start Lemmy: Save the changes to your docker-compose.yml file and execute the following command in the terminal to start Lemmy:

   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Verify Lemmy's Availability: Once the containers are up and running, access your Lemmy instance by navigating to the URL associated with your server's hostname.

Please note that the instructions provided here assume a basic understanding of Docker, Traefik, and server administration. Adjustments may be necessary based on your specific setup and requirements.

edit: Also note that this is for version 0.17.4. In case a new version releases you need to change the tag for both lemmy and lemmy-ui
