Server “owners” do not own anything from a data security standpoint.

How can you tell that this is true?

"Yeah this sounds like a Phil Nash sort of problem, I'll just stick him in here."

The rust compiler produces a flawless understanding of your code, and then quits out because understanding that code is a Nightly-only feature and you're using the stable build.

It cheeses my beans so goram much that they took a perfectly good web site and made it terrible so they could sell it to "the public", notionally the same people who were using the site!!!

I can only conclude that this is some kind of scam and actually most of the thing is going to end up owned by deliberately nebulous "institutional investors" and not the community members who constitute and deserve ownership of the community. Or even the people at Reddit Inc. who did the work of making the thing.

DAE socialism?

But now, or soon, you can have one person with half an idea, like "what if The Rock had to save Shanghai from mole zombies", and they can grab a text generator to fill in most of the screenplay, and then dial in the number of synonyms for "exciting" used to describe the explosions, and come out with Day of the Living Moles, a 95 minute feature film, in a weekend. Without actually having to have had any traditional cinematography skills or breaking an artistic sweat.

There are categories of creative work that are throw-away; little sketches on napkins, improvised songs, quick sketches that an artist might think of are of no account to anyone. And the scope of what can be dashed off like that, with minimal time and effort, is growing because of more powerful tools.

Why should I watch Universal's superhero blockbuster when I can watch my buddy Jimothy's? What happens when the number of plausible films dramatically exceeds the time that movie critics have to watch them to sort out which are any good?

Popular? None.

But we don't only have to build an environment that allows the doing of popular things. We also need to maintain a society in which unpopular or unusual things can be done. The doing of unpopular or unusual things is itself popular.

LocalSend is nice because you can set it up in a push configuration instead of a pull. I used to set up a server like that where I had the file, then go over where I wanted it and navigate and pull it and wait for it to download. But with auto-accept on on LocalSend I can push the file and by the time I get over to where I sent it it is mostly there already.

One approach here is the Ubuntu CD/DVD images. You can (could?) use the disk as a package source for apt to install from.

When the OS tells Android Firefox that the phone is running out of ram, it murders any tabs it thinks you might not be looking at, to avoid being murdered by Android for its ram.

Don't they provide the source for the code to actually run the model? Otherwise how are people loading it up and running it? Are they shipping executables along with model weights?
