I think they’re looking for local “AI” anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there’s no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.

There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn’t be that bad.

It depends on the client

Some apps / frontends support it and others don’t

😦

Well, it’s a win win. You can have them

I was coming into this thread to mention buttered popcorn flavor jellybeans.

It was bad.

Best of luck BADO 2025-0134!

Hi, it looks like your post got posted twice and is getting reported. You could delete one of them?

Thank you for the feedback!

We’ve refederated with them, blocked that community, and updated this post :)

That seems reasonable. While I don’t expect those other communities to have much traffic, this achieves the same outcome without a full defederation.

Hi @[email protected], please don’t post the same post in many unrelated communities. People will end up down voting it and reporting it as spam, which means that fewer people will actually see what you’re trying to share, especially if your account gets banned for spam.

A few posts in relevant communities will go further than posting it everywhere.

You can go back through your posts and delete the ones that are off topic

There is also [email protected] :)

crossposting between the communities can help grow both

Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.

Since the other communities are all completely empty, I felt that it didn’t make much difference either way. The instance has been around for some time. However that is true, we could also stay federated and block that individual community to achieve the same outcome.

Exciting! You could also share this on [email protected] and similar communities ( [email protected], [email protected])

edit: I see it’s already posted on piefed.social :)

At the same time, space is a growing industry that will likely change the way we do things on the surface. I’d rather that we have some control over that than leave everything up to the americans. We could also benefit economically and use those funds for projects in other sectors.

There are also some direct practical applications, like satellite Internet in remote regions, and Earth observation / climate research.

I don’t know how it will all play out, but this seems like a good thing. Why pay musk for starlink and spacex launches when we can set up something for ourselves.

That’s not what I meant though, I said that it speeds up the process of looking it up. It’s about as good as an unreliable peer that tells you what it thinks is happening. I can then research it myself based on the keywords that it mentions.

It is similar to a web search, but with how bad search results are these days (a large part because of other people making LLM generated garbage articles), I find that asking a locally hosted LLM will give me a better starting point. Since it’s running on my own simple hardware, I’m not as worried about the resource cost compared to the tech companies’ ones.

I agree with everything else you’ve said though

That’s enough for me to not run it, but proving it can be helpful in some contexts, such as this thread.

“This is malware because no legit site would authenticate like that” vs. “this is malware, it will do XYZ”

Could you surround the links with backticks to make them code blocks? That would prevent someone from accidentally clicking it

It did speed up the process of looking it up and confirming that it is malware.

LLMs are decent at pattern recognition, and so it pulled up relevant keywords associated with each part of the command. You can then look up the important section to verify. It’s also something that a simple and locally hosted LLM could do.

I wouldn’t run a random command, but confirming that it is malware would let me take further action to block the site / report it / help a family member that already ran the command

Thanks for linking the creator 😊, nice to meet you @lightone

Issue 2: Terrible mascot.

Mastodon has their mastodon carrying a knapsack. Lemmy has the lemming face. Pixelfed has a cute red panda. Friendica has…some kind of demented looking rabbit with bugged out eyes? Seriously, what the hell is this?

I had no idea lol

I like it, but I get what you mean 😄
