In the exact same boat with my mother in law at the moment. I was thinking of getting her one of those android for elderly phones but wanted to see if I could do something with her existing iphone first. At this point, anything that is recognizable is a plus so sticking with the iPhone will help there.

Thats not the point, pick your battles, effect what you can. Of course you can not block everything, as all corporations have "bent" knee to some degree. But start with the ones that you can make a call about, like Grok, and try to influence as many as possible not to use it. The same for Oracle, the same for Google and others. Thats the way we can actually make a change, the only way to get to these people is their value. If we de-value their brands, then we de-value them.

There is also his namesake, his racist father and his grandfathers past. There is a lot of background information available if you really look for it. And finally, if you look at story of "The Elon" and what Elon has been building, you could almost think that he is trying to actually live up to his namesake!

Yes, like not buying or using their products, their political supporters products and telling others to do the same. This has been proven over and over again to work. Thats why, dont use Grok, dont buy a Tesla, dont support the mega corps that have bent a knee to them, dont buy Java licenses use open source, etc etc etc.

My problem with the SSO providers is not the technical part, thats "easy". Its the coordinate with the 200+ external and internal vendors / support to redeploy the SSO part which is time consuming. I always say its a ~3 year project, which can be done in 6 months with the right amount of resources, especially if the platform has been running for years.

I rent cheap GPU based instances by the hour and run on those. Nothing fancy, but $20 can get you a decent amount of compute on a A6000 or H100.

Also, don't forget how much they are medeling with the EU politics. Here in Spain the ultra right wing are following the thrump playbook step by step. Now I can't prove this, but with our current government standing up to both the US and Israel, there is a feeling that a bunch of money and "think tank" guidance is happening.

Just like Franco in Spain created the social healthcare system, but they still executed "reds" in the street.

I am allowed to plug in 800w of solar panels into a wall socket here in spain. That would more then cover my current computer with 16gb vram. Now if i went and built a LLM server, at full load i would probably be closer to 3600w (Dual Epyc CPUs that gives you 8 x16 PCI channels and up to 8 cards - Way overkill, i know). If i half that with 1 EPYC and 4 x16 PCI channels, and add the same amd 7800xt i currently have then i should in theory be able to run at around 1800w under full load. Now that could still be covered with a 2000w solar install (get a professional setup OR get a battery unit like a EcoFlow that can output 2000w and can input about the same amount of solar).

Now, this all brings the upfront costs way up, the solar panels are cheap, its all the rest around them that tends to cost money.

Yea, is almost "scary fast" in a sense... the amount of compute you can do in parallel one one of those chips is amazing. hopefully they get their next chip completed as that will be a lot more useful for general workloads. I think the current one is based on llama3.

*corrected llama version to 3

A few miles? My closes server is in Paris, and im in Barcelona. I get a minimum of 30 to 40 ms of lag, fine for slow games, but if you are playing something multiplayer and there is another 40 -> 100 ms lag on the server connection things quickly go downhill.

This is still going on, just that they try to keep a few internal tech people. The problem is the incentive for the internal people to stay as they, in theory, should not be making any changes just help out.

They could always be hired as contractors at x5 the cost for a fixed contract over 2 years to train the ai.

Honestly, yes it should in some form. If their index contains the actual data from the sites, and they are making that information public in one way or another, then it should be available as a downloadable dataset.

Answering here as it wont let me reply: Just because you feel that something that is public, does not mean you can do whatever you want with it. You can't just copy an article from a news site and paste it on yours, that theft. If you dont agree, fine, but that is the law, and ALL the mega corps have been fighting to keep it this way for the last 20 years. If they want to steal everyones info, fine, then lobby to change the copyright laws and no problem.

15 วันที่ผ่านมาdiscuss

really? You know this just like everyone else: Just because the information is available publicly, does not mean that you can do whatever you want with the information. Copyright exists for a reason, and if the copyright lobby is going to continue to push for the poor poor media companies to keep their copyrights, then we should do the same towards the AI companies. So yes, they Stole the information from everyone else, and they keep doing so, as you can see their scanners still hitting every website on the web to get an updated dataset. It does not matter what they do AFTER they steal all the information, as they already stole it.

No, but people do upload data with an expectation that the data not being used without their permission (unless they do a BSD/MIT/Public domain like license). Otherwise, the platform AND/OR the user do expect the data NOT to be used for purposes other then what it was intended for. Your comment is still your comment, and the hacker news platform also has a say in this. If there had been an opt-in, then fine no problem, but there was none, they just trained on everything available, including downloading pirated books from the internet.

When did they start doing so? We all know that they DID train on all the available public information, so at what point did they stop? Is the public information still in the training set? If so, they should STILL release ALL the data as public, as they are including training data that was acquired without permission.

They have already done that when giving companies right as people which then takes responsibility off the CEO.

Make it opt-in in exchange for more working from home time, then they can disprove the "people are unproductive when working from home" BS.
