That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.

Technology@lemmy.ml•‘Sputnik moment’: $1tn wiped off US stocks after Chinese firm unveils AI chatbot
2·9 months agoDidn’t deepseek solve some of the data wall problems by creating good chain of thought data with an intermediate RL model. That approach should work with the tried and tested scaling laws just using much more compute.

3·1 year ago4chan at least had a consistent brand of being the anti-social network and being full of Nazis, weirdos, pedophiles and people who are just anti-social for the lulz. You couldn’t ruin 4chan.
Twitter’s image was being the “internet town-square for serious thinkers” with politicians, scientists, journalists and a small but good measure of standard shitposters. Loosing that brand diminishes it’s value massively. Unfortunately neither Bluesky nor Mastodon was able to catch that clientele yet.

I was on a holiday in the Cinque Terre in Italy with my wife a few years ago. Because of a rainy day we decided to take a train to Genua and visit some museums. At the maritime museum I randomly met an Italian coworker/coauthor from my research institute in Germany, who was visiting his family in his hometown with his wife.

13·1 year agoFor a user without much technical experience using a ready-made gui like Jan.ai with automatic model download and ability to run models with the ggml library on consumer grade hardware like mac M-series chips or cheap GPUs by either Nvidia or AMD is probably a good start.
For a little bit more technically proficient users Ollama is probably a great choice to start to host your own OpenAI-like API for local models. I mostly run gemma2 or small llama 3.1 like models with that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung’s 20-year-life EV battery runs 600 miles on 9-minute chargeEnglish
14·1 year agoThe market will segment away from the current tech anyway. CATL Sodium-ion with comparatively low densities but also extremely low prices per kWh will likely win the low-end market and the market for stationary solutions. This is just due to the much lower resource costs. The high-end will be up for things like this battery by Samsung (or other comparable pilot products). The current technology will likely be in a weird middle spot.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI models face collapse if they overdose on their own outputEnglish
3·1 year agoDepends on what you do with it. Synthetic data seems to be really powerful if it’s human controlled and well built. Stuff like tiny stories (simple llm-generated stories that only use the complexity of a 3-year olds vocabulary) can be used to make tiny language models produce sensible English output. My favourite newer example is the base data for AlphaProof (llm-generated translations of proofs in Math-Papers to the proof-validation system LEAN) to teach an LLM the basic structure of Mathematics proofs. The validation in LEAN itself can be used to only keep high-quality (i.e. correct) proofs. Since AlphaProof is basically a reinforcement learning routine that uses an llm to generate good ideas for proof steps to reduce the size of the space of proof steps, applying it yields new correct proofs that can be used to further improve its internal training data.

Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.
