Oh! Thanks!

We could start a buy/sell/swap space using existing Lemmy technology, if we left the messy details for users to figure out for themselves.

Messy details add up quick, though. Payments, currencies, mailing addresses, reputation, conflict resolution, returns, scammers and spam.

But “Craigs List” solved very little of that on day one, and went on to be pretty successful.

So it’s possible. happening now, I’ve just learned. Neat!. https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/buyselltrade

(Edit: Added link to the surreal thing. Thanks!) (Edit 2: I swallowed the onion whole. Mostly jokes, there, I think. I’m gonna leave the link anyway.)

These resources helped me successfully switch from Ollama to Lama.cpp. Thanks!

I plan to operate on expired certificates for two to four years, forcing all three of my users to click past a terrible warning.

Then I will automate my six day certificate rotation with Ansible (officially), but maybe actually with a stupid bash script in CRON (unofficially).

The real value is in the agility needed to update certs every six days.

Six days is still too long to leave a compromised key in play, but anyone who can rotate their keys every six days can probably also rotate their keys quite quickly if there’s a comprise.

I will study these. Thank you!

I’m not the OP, but I’m trying to figure out if local models are always painfully slow or if I’m missing something obvious in my tuning.

Stable Diffusion can whip up a picture in less time on the same hardware, than lama.cpp takes to decide to call an MCP function.

It seems like I must be missing something in my lama.cpp setup, but none of the guides I’ve read have clued me in to what I’ve done wrong.

Ollama performs similarly poorly on the same harsware, so I’ve probably managed to make the se mistake(s) at least twice.

Anyway, that’s the main thing I’m reading along for. Trying to increase my understanding until I catch my own mistakes.

Yea. Slightly modified - “If conditions are now so prefect now that 8 billion humans can ask their computer nicely to program itself, and it works, then why is non-shit-tier software still vanishingly rare?”

Why does it cost so much to engineer new models?

We need at least two massive quantum leaps in quality before this stuff can be long-term profitable; and there probably simply aren’t two quantum leaps left in the current pathways being explored.

But turning off all the bots, contracts, and lies would cause the investment money to stop immediately, rather than later.

Everyone perpetrating this scam wants to cash out a tiny bit more before it crashes.

Right. But Fermi’s Paradox applies.

Everyone is buying and selling software miracle cure…but all of the software itself is still exaclty as healthy as a con artists prize race horse (not healthy, and actually a mule).

And a lot more money. And so much more power and water. And more data. And more money, too.

Doesn’t outlook support imap?

Officially, it can. Many organizations turn IMAP off “for security reasons.”

Edit: Microsoft routinely turns off features for security reasons, so this comment may age poorly, if not already.

I’m working on adding to my vocabulary:

“Please be yourself.”

It won’t be a problem, because companies are taking the risks of AI seriously, and compensating employees at every level well enough to ensure each employee takes proper precautions.

Yea. Fandom is like that one friend in college who apologizes about their place being a mess, but how bad can it be? We all had a messy place, during finals week. Then we accidentally land at their place… and we all silently vow to never even acknowledge the existence of their place, again.

Luckily for the billionaires they don’t own any homes, their homes are part of a complex companies, or some bullshit.

Lots of organizations have a “ooh scary Linux” server or two that they rely on, but failed to retain the talent needed to maintain it. If you’ve been running desktop Linux, and know some basic command line tools, you’re way ahead of most people they will interview for the role.

The downside is that they might feel that they can maybe just keep ignoring their problem for another year, and some will.

So only for people who serve the state, not for people who served their neighbors without official capacity.

Translates to “not for people we could not control” pretty readily.

Wild. I will keep that in mind if I ever have a drink with either of them at a politcal fund-raising party.

History suggests you would want a very competent head of security, because some rich nepo babies wouldn’t like what you were doing.
