I am not really concerned with which one is better or smarter but with which one is more resource intensive. There is a lot of opacity about the cost in a holistic sense. For example, a recent mini model from OpenAI is the cheapest smart (whatever that may mean) model available right now. I wanna know if the low cost is a product of selling on a loss or low profit margin, or of an abundance of VC money and things like that.

What is the parameter count for the famous proprietary models like gpt 4o and claude 3.5 sonnet?

For 20 weeks, McKinsey will study other cities that use containers — like Paris and Amsterdam — and identify what types of bins would work best for New York City. The contract is a relatively small project for the consulting giant, which last year paid nearly $600 million to settle allegations tied to its role giving sales advice to opioid manufacturers.

I hate this timeline.

The shameful answer is that the most convenient method of setting up immich is a docker compose stack but I have podman installed instead.

WOW man this is just incredible. I had actually finished setting up syncthing and syncing with it but this is just so much smoother. Syncthing is nice but it has some weirdness. Like this app's "copy local to remote" (instead of sync) is hidden in advanced configuration while it seems like a useful use case to be.

 

There are solutions like ente and immich but I think they both are pretty overkill for my use case. I almost never look through my old photos so I don't need an app and a web UI or whatever. The face detection thing does not entice me either. I don't need encryption either.

Is there a simpler solution for this? I am thinking of just writing a script that syncs the camera folder using adb or something like that. But before I create a jank monstrosity I thought it would be better to ask around.

Why against posting the article in the post body? I find that pretty useful.

Has the site become better or worse with time?

As far as I can tell, .world is great for the reddit emigres. There have been disagreements amd drama (as is tradition with online communities especially federated ones) but the instance is doing fine it seems.

I don't know about this API blackout. I am talking about something else entirely. When Reddit migration was at its peak, registrations on this instance (lemmy.ml). The reason given was that the devs did not want to overwhelm themselves with the abruptly increased administrative and moderation responsibilities. At that time, Lemmy (the software) was facing significant performance issues as well, owing to the fact that that many users had not used Lemmy concurrently before that.

On the other hand, I tried to find the announcement post for this. (I remember one existing.) But I couldn't. Have I hallicinated an elaborate scenario? I am not sure. Will try to look again.

lemmy.ml shut down registration during the migration of sweaty reddit nerds.

Thanks for this. But the fdroid release seems outdated compared to GitHub.

 

I see this being mentioned a bit in American media. I understand why this can happen. Capital does not want to pay living wages to the working people and workers do not want to work for pennies. There is no such thing as labour shortage, only capital not willing to pay.

But if people are just walking away from jobs, how are they affording subsistence? I have seen restaurants being closed because they don't have workers. So it is not only people who can afford savings who are quitting.

I can't phrase the question very well but the bottom line is this: I don't understand. So any insight you might want to share is welcome.

 

I personally use passwordstore.org with a git repo on a personal VPS. But I wanted to set up a password manager for my boomer parents and looks like Bitwarden is one of the better options out there.

The problem is that the free tier sounds a bit too good to be true so I am worried that it might just disappear or discontinue one day. Any idea if this fear is unfounded or not?

If you have been using Bitwarden please share your experience with it. Would like to hear.

I use one called X-Plore. It's actually very good. Even has a WiFi server, conpressed archive support, etc. but the downsides are that it's close sourced and some features are behind a paywall (though IMO they are worth it).

So I was thinking of moving to some free or open source software. Any recommendations?

 
 

Haven't tried it yet but it looks super neat.

 

Apparently Signal doesn't run in the backgroud and give notifications if I don't have Google Play Services enabled.

Anyway to work around this? Seems uncool to have a privacy focused messenger that relies on Google shit.
