I’m very new to open source but I’d love to get involved but is there a discord or something to get up to speed?

I would consider myself 24% disabled:)

I mean blocking specific countries is stupid anyway. Historically China has been playing games with the EU and the US on a geopolitical level. But: Chinese, European as well as American researchers have been at the core of research on current topics like AI, security, etc. Btw. ironically the scientific landscape is very collaborative and borders on a federated model, it’s actually pretty neat how much researchers don’t care about country of origin.

What I’m saying is introducing geopolitics into open source development or research is one of the most stupid things to do, because it punishes both your and the other country and only benefits uninvolved third parties. It’s literally shooting yourself in the foot.

This is a very interesting perspective.

Although I do think if we don’t have a gigantic leap, AI will never replace programmers, but it sure as heck will make some stuff easier and faster for them.

I like that idea.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but are those shower thoughts or ganja thoughts?

Yeah that roughly translates to GB vram, but with quantization and stuff it gets more complicated.

Sounds pretty applicable tho in these sizes ^^

Yes, been using that to track my bank accounts and stuff and it’s really helpful, although I had some trouble understanding how to use it since I’m a layperson xd

Yeah but that doesn’t mean there aren’t lot of them though. I reckon it’s a 30/70 situation.

Sounds kinda inconvenient to put it on Valentine’s Day as everyone will be preoccupied for obvious reasons…

I like that

This should work with deepseeker-r1 as well right? I assume that’s gotta be a bit better even.

This.

Discovery and user abstraction are Lemmy’s biggest issues and we are not addressing them to the degree we should.

I know there’s some stuff on all those centralized platforms that’s way over the top, but most of it is actually pretty helpful. And you’ll miss it once you switch here.

Good.

That last part is messed up. If that’s true that warrants a ban.

The one thing that really trips me up is that I am now really interested at how many people are assholes because they aren’t able to be good, and how many do it for other reasons…

Two things come to mind:

• a psychopath wants to be good because he knows this will give him a better social stand. But he doesn’t really get it, because some things his peers do just look irrational to him. At some point he just reverts back to manipulation because that’s what he understands.
• an autistic guy tries to be nice, but he doesn’t get it. People are puzzles to him, and the way he is nice is very different from everyone else. He starts becoming jaded and stops trying to be nice like everyone else.

Both examples are people who don’t have the extended knowledge of what “being nice” is, and therefore they stop being nice. I would love to know how big that percentage is amongst all assholes.

This is also intertwined with the fact that if there’s an asshole for every 20 people who are nice (just as a thought experiment), you wouldn’t remember the nice people, because they don’t give you a headache. The asshole does. So for us, the percentage always looks really skewed, in fact it’s almost exclusively the assholes we hear about.

I mean it assumes not everyone can be good (which is fair) but it’s also assuming everyone wants to be good. And to be blunt, I think there’s some people out there that don’t care if they’re assholes.

It’s an interesting thought though, and I totally agree, some people really don’t know how to be good.

I think they tried it with YouTube and it’s dog shit still.

I don’t know if the bottleneck is on the AI or the subtitles tho.

Autodesk Maya

Well there’s maya, but technically there’s also others like 3dsmax and Arnold that arguably fill the scope blender is in as well. We’re getting real granular here, but depending on how to compare, you’d either have to take them individually or look at the product suite as a whole.
