b3ing··on Running local models is good now
They are ok for simple stuff, coding is weak, chat is alright, writing is ok. But I had many of them write stories for ideas and they kept using the same names regardless of what the story was about. I can’t complain, it’s free. Can’t wait till they get even better, but for local image generation they are good, slow but just create a bunch in the background while you do other things otherwise it’s like 14.4k modems
b3ing··on Extinction-Level Capitalism
Is that any different than the KKK that burn crosses and say they are Christian, yet hate others
b3ing··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
Just like we can’t allow Chinese EVs in the USA, because we can’t and don’t want to compete.

VPN usage would go up, to get the banned models.

b3ing··on Open source AI must win
I agree but we are dependent mostly on Chinese models at this point to pull it off.
b3ing··on Labor Is a Market Distortion, we need VAT and UBI
Keep dreaming, we are in hyper capitalism mode, ebshitification, etc. They just spent weeks of government time state and national worrying about people on food stamps buying candy or coke, to save pennies, they watch the poor like a damn hawk but let millionaires rape children in the biggest pedo ring in history.
b3ing··on What Would It Look Like If the AI Bubble Popped?
I think open source AI could cause it. I hope local AI takes over but this government will probably ban it.
b3ing··on What if we legally required politicians to work regular jobs 2 months a year?
They’d probably pay someone to do the work for them, like drive the truck while they sit in the cab.

It’s a nice wish, but we don’t have that kind of power and they won’t put themselves in a situation like that by making a bill then voting on it. The fatal flaw of the constitution is it has no ethics or morals baked in, it should have things in there like employee handbooks do with a specification that amendments cannot change. Again wishful thinking.

b3ing··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
That’s what I was wondering, lm studio and draw things are easy to use apps that handle much of the cruft for you
b3ing··on A greyscale iPhone setup that works in everyday life
This blog needed a video honestly, I tried to set it up but haven’t yet
b3ing··on A jacket that harvests drinking water from the air
I wonder if it has microplastics, but probably depends what kind of fabric was used
b3ing··on A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Data Center
Reminds me a teacher lived thriftily in life and donated 2 or 3 million to a school in his will when he died. The school used it to buy a state of the art high school football scoreboard.
b3ing··on Google just made you a search quality rater. You won't get paid
Then just make an extension to manipulate this, ad nauseam already exists for ads
b3ing··on Anthropic/OpenAI may be spending more than $1000 for every $100 you pay them
The future of AI is ads, free will have lots of ads and eventually go away. Low paid tier will have a few ads, the $2000 tier no ads.

I just hope local llms keep getting better and ways to make them run faster on consumer devices improves

b3ing··on Why Aren't We Measuring How AI Affects Humans?
there’s no money in that
b3ing··on ICE detainees across the US describe medical neglect
They are seen as humans that is why
b3ing··on New U.S. college grads now have higher unemployment than the average worker
People in other countries don’t do this. Some live at home until they are married
b3ing··on New U.S. college grads now have higher unemployment than the average worker
Deadbeat adult children? That’s definitely American thinking.

That’s why I tell people family isn’t #1 in America it’s like #3 or 4

b3ing··on Show HN: Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image model
Will it work on Apple silicon machines? Maybe in the Draw Things application? Or is it all command line
b3ing··on Meta workers can opt out of being tracked at work up to 30 min
If they want to know what you were doing for 20 min take a picture of an unflushed toilet each day, it will put an end to that right away
b3ing··on Now AI agents need what RSS does
I guess if you want your content all slurped up and served as coming from AI with no backlinks.
b3ing··on Justice Dept. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry of E. Jean Carroll
The ones that split mostly did because it’s not profitable anymore, one podcaster that has been faithful had layoffs due to losing listeners
b3ing··on Pentagon puts building blocks in place for Cuba invasion
They want land, it’s the next Hawaii for real estate
b3ing··on A history of obituaries in American newspapers
It’s the most popular section for local newspapers, nowadays they typically charge to have someone listed in the obituaries, unless the paper is too small
b3ing··on Why the smart home bubble popped
I just don’t get the reason to use them. Eventually the smart whatever will not be supported 10yrs from now with your phone or whatever, then you’ll be required to buy a new one. Regular locks, smoke detectors, etc, can last the life of the house.
b3ing··on AI Is Taking over the Most Cursed Job in the World
Collections calls. I imagine the conversion rate will be lower
b3ing··on 'AI washing': firms are scrambling to rebrand themselves as tech-focused
2 yrs ago I saw some company raise a million dollars by saying they used AI, when what they did could easily be done with an algorithm. Many things can be algorithms, regex filters, logic or heuristics (spam detection is an example) but nowadays people want the llm to do it first, without even thinking.
b3ing··on Inequality and Risk
You cant make tons of people engineers when outsourcing and h1b dominate the job market
b3ing··on Spotify will start reserving concert tickets for fans
Pandora is still around, but their library is a lot smaller
b3ing··on Adults who return to childhood games are searching for person they used to be
Sometimes they trigger fond memories of long lost loved ones or a time before you had to care too much about bills, etc
b3ing··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
Eventually no one will write reviews because ai will steal all the results and information and not give any credit or back links so they will have no choice but to lie and say product x is the best, if the company behind product x pays some money behind the scenes, no ad mention needed, the poorer companies will have to buy a cheaper ad to get mentioned along side the expensive higher ai-tainted recommendation
