  • There is a reason there is sometimes a notable decrease in quality of the same AI model a while after it's released.

    Hosters of the models (like OpenAI or Microsoft) may have switched to a quantized version of their model. Quantization is a common practice to increase power efficiency and make the model easier to run, by essentially rounding the weights of the model to a lower precision. This decreases VRAM and storage usage significantly, at the cost of a bit of quality, where higher quantization results in worse quality.

    For example, the base model will likely be in FP16, full floating point precision. They may switch to a Q8 version, which nearly halves the size of the model, with about a 3-7% decrease in quality.

  • Does "ignore all previous instructions" actually work on anything anymore? I've tried getting some AI bots to do that and it didn't change anything. I know it's still very much possible, but it's not nearly as simple as that anymore

  • The majority of the communities I visit on reddit have no real equivalent on Lemmy. The only things in Lemmy are politics, open source, linux, android, anti ai, immediate downvote of the majority of news, etc.

    Lemmy feels more like an individual community rather than a real platform, like lobste.rs with more emphasis on politics.

  • rsync for backups? I guess it depends on what kind of backup

    for redundant backups of my data and configs that I still have a live copy of, I use restic, it compresses extremely well

    I have used rsync to permanently move something to another drive though

  • I guess it's like a CAPTCHA. It doesn't completely solve the problem the hoster wishes to solve, but it deters a lot of people from trying.

  • I don't trust an external third party to manage the coordination server.

    Headscale has an issue open for wireguard only exit nodes though, I guess ill wait for that.

  • I tried self-hosting tailscale with headscale, but you cannot have a wireguard only exit node with headscale--and so I can't have mullvad as my exit node.

  • If it turns on with mobile data automatically, that turns off my Mullvad VPN.

  • yeah lemme just pull out safari on android and linux for its insane fingerprinting protection and great content blocking support

  • What browser should I use on mobile? I use Librewolf on desktop since it runs fine, and the vertical tabs are great, and it looks nice.

    On mobile though there's a lot of problems with the browser space:

    • Chrome: runs great but is obviously not good for privacy
    • Firefox: what most people recommend, but it has terrible performance, looks not great, and doesn't even have more than basic fingerprinting protection, and literally includes ads by default. It's also less secure on Android because they don't do per site process isolation, and the memory allocator is worse.
    • Brave: people tend to dislike brave here, but it runs well (since it's chromium based) and has at least better fingerprinting protection.

    What other options are there?

  • If you're that concerned about privacy, why are you on Lemmy, where every content you post is duplicated across thousands of servers?

  • Yes, I would like to waste 500 KB over the wire for an image of indistinguishable quality

  • I prompt injected the reverse turing (level 42)

  • It's a few extra steps to start fixing, but it's still definitely possible once you get the crypto device mapper.

  • The thing with this is that many people want to switch their setting to be non default, and it's impossible to have both user configurable and nice css at the same time. One has to go.

    Edit: Oops, just realized I replied to a 2 month old comment. My bad

  • FYI, the Photon version you're running is over a year out of date.

  • Looked at this comment and figured out the issue. I'll push a fix soon!

  • Qxe6 I think

    Then black will have to play Rxe6 and then you play Rf8#

  • ill delete mine if:

    1. it has any form of information that could potentially be used to personally identify me when I realize retroactively
    2. i get embarrassed when I try to contribute to a community and get down voted to oblivion
