It may be a good model, but I'm not reading scrollslop. It annoys me to much when I'm just trying to get information about something.
Everyone was obsessed with classification prior to transformers, then we had 5+ years of everyone (rightfully) obsessed with next-token prediction. What's this sudden resurgence of interest in classifiers? I thought we…
Those sites are also scrollslop. "Slop," as a term, is independent of AI
I call it scrollslop
I never thought I'd see someone else in the wild who remembers Stars! Next we'll be talking about Anacreon and Talisman.
Yes, and when they contain pithy little mic-drop LLM phrases they're intolerable. But I'll still take them over marketing department scrollslop.
I imagine that's why they're pushing them so hard, especially given Google's recent anti-user lockdowns. I have a hard time imagining they'd expend so many resources to protect a tiny percentage of users from having…
I did LFS once, a long long time ago (days of RedHat 7.3, I'd say, 2002), and it was quite educational! It's a good way to learn the fundamentals of what comprises an actual Linux system
The music that YuE2 is makes is cleaner that Minimax Music 3, but I can't make it generate anything that isn't extremely bland. Songs fail to develop, they always sound like they're stuck in the intro. The composition…
>GitHub still remained meritorious enough to merit being bought by one of the biggest companies You can't just use the word "merit" and claim the CEO's literal statement about meritocracy no longer being one of their…
"For extra privacy, you can sign into the Play Store with a Google Account that isn't tied to anything else." lol. lamo, even.
And yet 2014 was when the company culture completely changed. The co-founder resigned. The company switched to having bosses for everyone (previously they had an informal hierarchy). They moved to having serious HR,…
Company: "We're no longer going to focus on merit as a virtue." Company slowly becomes worse and worse. Me: "That starting gun surely signaled the start of the decline." You: "That was a long time ago. Couldn't have…
You don't think that sudden, radical, and politically motivated change in the core leadership of a company doesn't have long-lasting and compounding effects?
GitHub ripped out the logo that said "meritocracy" on it because the new CEO and its internal self-described feminist coder groups found it "problematic." The CEO even went on Twitter with a smug "Words matter." tweet.…
Between Gemma 31/26/12/4/2, Deepseek-v4-flash-0731, Qwen 3.8 27B, Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (which I haven't even gotten to run yet!), and now GLM 5.3 Flash, I can't keep up. I love all these open weight models and am…
You mean to tell me it's been 10 hours and there's no unsloth quant? I've been running 0731 and love it.
WearOS watches are trash for me personally as they all require you to run Google Play Services on your phone, which I won't do. The only smartwatch I've had luck with is the Garmin series (Venu, Fenix), and since I…
llama.cpp is like the ffmepg of AI, and one of the reasons I so greatly dislike ollama is that the latter completely obfuscates that they're a rebrand of the former. Georgi Gerganov and team did all the hard work;…
The only promising social network to me was that browser extension that let you comment on every single page, but it was shut down when people freaked out that it (obviously) sent the URL of every page you visited to…
You don't need trade routes to invent latrines and garbage cans. European exploitation doesn't create a caste system where it's seen as beneath you to do the most basic of socially hygenic tasks. Obviously there's…
Electricity exists to be used, and we have essentially infinite free energy from nuclear power. Why are we wringing our hands pretending like we're going to run out of electrons? The days of hauling and burning ancient…
