Good point about the jurisdiction. I’m not too worried about making a bit announcement about it though as this change simplifies things - before https://piefed.social/rules talked about needing to be legal in both Germany and New Zealand but now it’s just New Zealand. So now there’s less restrictions not more or different.

Lemmy fixed the latency thing a few versions ago :)

Now you know why people hate mobile app development! Wait till you discover the torment of the app stores, lol

There are easily enough donations to cover hosting costs but nowhere near enough to enable me to spend as much time working on the software as it needs.

Sure, please see https://piefed.social/donate

Yeah. My VPS had a 40% increase. It’s not the end of the world but this AI shortage isn’t going away so I expect another 40% increase next year.

hmm it’s pretty nice outside, maybe later…

System config. Piefed.ca is put together different than others in a way that is way more scalable but much harder to get right.

That’s an interesting choice of sample.

Back when I was on Windows and still in denial about the inevitability of my switch to Linux I went on a long rant about how much harder it is to install a font on Linux than on Windows. You sound like me in 2005.

This does seem tenuous, yes.

If they want to experiment with AI a bit and try to find a use-case for it, a bit of R&D every now and then can be good, right? But the way to do that would be to temporarily rent a VPS with a GPU. From AWS or whatever. That way when/if it looks good they’ll know roughly what size hardware to buy (way more than a 5070 ti most likely). Also if it doesn’t pan out all you’ve lost is a couple of hundred $ on one month’s rental and you can close it down and move on.

Or just use the OpenAI API, that way you don’t need to figure out how to run a model at all and can just concentrate on the data integration to see if that’s viable.

I’ve travelled all over China, it’s crap. You can’t fool me.

I’ve been using JetBrains Mono and Maple looks the same but nicer. Thanks!

In tropical countries I carry an umbrella everywhere. It’s much better than a hat because it has more airflow and provides more shade.

we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.

I read the first two sentences of the articles you posted, which is more effort than you put in.

I’m well aware of the various bad things the IMF has done. But bringing up evidence of that anytime the IMF appears in a headline is just distracting and irrelevant. The issue at hand here is whether subsidies are an effective or harmful response and you fixating on who is talking about the issue (and mischaracterizing what they’re saying, at that) is not helpful.

Read the second sentence in the article.

How long would it take to type in a bootloader?
