Are you certain that Element does not run in the background? It always does for me, both on my Samsung with OneUI and on another Samsung with LineageOS. Perhaps not really helpful, but my observation is that Element’s background “listening for notifications” is quite reliable. Might this be due to some settings in your OS?
That VPN provider will then know ALL the connections you make. Almost worse than just using the Internet normally.
Yes. You still need similar ones if you want to run the models really fast, but not nearly the same amount or cost. That’s how people run LLMs on their laptops. You don’t even need a GPU, a multi-core CPU is sufficient, just not very fast at it.
Has nothing to do with bending the knee. The executive order literally changed the official name of the Gulf in the U.S. This situation is ridiculous, but it is the new U.S. government that you need to complain about, not the people implementing or deferring to their decisions.
People that didn’t vote for Kamala gave you Trump.
Untrue. There are small models that produce better output than the previous “flagships” like GPT-2. Also, you can achieve much more than we currently do with far less energy by working on novel, specialised hardware (neuromorphic computing).
It’s not allowed with books
Have you ever heard of the mysterious places called “libraries”? IA does not “republish” anything, it is an archive.
In what world are you living where 10 A is on the low side for general-purpose electronics?
Yep, for better or worse, Intel is pretty much the only remaining Western “bleeding-edge” CPU designer manufacturing its products in its own fabs. I find it weird that so many people seem to root for Intel to fail.
Unix is literally the most important operating system (specification) family on the planet. Even bigger than M$ Windows. You’ve got all the Android phones, all the Apple iPhones, macOS, FreeBSD and all the GNU/Linux distributions. Unix-like installed base is by far the largest of any on the planet.
Yep. They tried desperately to build up an IT economy and for that wanted to appease all the tech companies.
But that is not the comparison they drew, and you know that.
Dumbed down hardware? No, the hardware of smartphones is very impressive. It is the software that is dumbed down in the sense that it takes control away from the user or operator.
How did any generation not grow up with the technology as it evolved? Gen X did not invent computers, nor did the Boomers, but every generation made valuable contributions, just as Gen Z will. Again, it is the actions and ideas of gifted individuals that count.
Not a very enlightened take. As @[email protected] correctly put it, tech savviness is the property of an individual and not of a generation. There are non-savvy Zoomers, just as there are non-savvy people from your generation.
This must be irony. I cannot be certain because you doubled down on it
No, but through the existence of both options, you can get more plurality than by using one individual option.
In theory, but how many governments can actually be held accountable? The power imbalance is often too great for the people to hold anyone accountable. In many countries, the system is rigged.
Matrix is not proprietary. The protocol is FOSS, Synapse server is FOSS, Dendrite server is FOSS, there are FOSS clients, Element is FOSS too afaik.
