  • What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends?

    Jump

  • Having come from zero knowledge, to now self-hosting for over a year, I can tell you that you just search for them one at a time. Sometimes they will make sense. Sometimes not yet.

    Stick around here, ask questions, and look things up.

  • Tempus v4.0.7 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Great! Love this app!

    Right now I'm using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you're my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!

  • The sheer audacity to call the planet we live on "blue marble" when Neptune out there looking like that.

    Jump

  • Marble? More like a yoga ball.

  • thermostat suitable for Home Asistant

    Jump

  • This. But...

    The smart thermostat will come with a c wire. It's an adapter that can plug into a normal outlet and then run to your thermostat. Depending on your level of DIY, you can hide the wire (or the entire adapter) inside the wall to make it prettier.

  • I just want my money back that I spent on a show that's been "delayed" for a year and a half.

  • The bourgeoisie could technically unintentionally end capitalism...

  • You've just described the post-scarcity economy.

    I think of the two possible trajectories as the Star Wars universe and the Star Trek universe. Both have fully automated supply chains through droids/replicator technology. However, in Star Wars, only the elite few have access to that technology. Hence, the economy is still centered around trade and, well, as the title would suggest — wars. In Star Trek, that technology is democratized and made available to everyone to create a world in which money has no meaning, and everyone has access to technology and meeting their basic needs.

    It all depends on what kind of society we decide to build from here on out.

  • Cooling stuff does not require any energy!

    Jump

  • Depending on how cold you want it, the heat death if the universe is just another 10^101 years away ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Cooling stuff does not require any energy!

    Jump

  • Yes, over a long enough timeline this is true. Usually people are interested in cooling things sooner than the death of the Sun.

  • When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?

    Jump

  • The number of fat cells don't really change in your body. The individual cells grow and shrink.

  • Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?

    Jump

  • I've been alive for the entire narrative of the internet and it's crazy to think any of the newer generations will be able to sort it all out for themselves.

    Jump

  • "Wait, explain how Neopets was Scientology again?"

    “What was the purpose of the hamster dance?"

    Geocities?

  • YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.

    Jump

  • I report dozens of bot accounts on meta every month (actually slowed a bit recently). 80-90% of the time they take no action and leave the account up.

  • Can we trust LLM CALCULATIONS?.

    Jump

  • Here's an interesting post that gives a pretty good quick summary of when an LLM may be a good tool.

    Here's one key:

    Machine learning is amazing if:

    • The problem is too hard to write a rule-based system for or the requirements change sufficiently quickly that it isn't worth writing such a thing and,
    • The value of a correct answer is much higher than the cost of an incorrect answer.

    The second of these is really important.

    So if your math problem is unsolvable by conventional tools, or sufficiently complex that designing an expression is more effort than the answer is worth... AND ALSO it's more valuable to have an answer than it is to have a correct answer (there is no real cost for being wrong), THEN go ahead and trust it.

    If it is important that the answer is correct, or if another tool can be used, then you're better off without the LLM.

    The bottom line is that the LLM is not making a calculation. It could end up with the right answer. Different models could end up with the same answer. It's very unclear how much underlying technology is shared between models anyway.

    For example, if the problem is something like, "here is all of our sales data and market indicators for the past 5 years. Project how much of each product we should stock in the next quarter. " Sure, an LLM may be appropriately close to a professional analysis.

    If the problem is like "given these bridge schematics, what grade steel do we need in the central pylon?" Then, well, you are probably going to be testifying in front of congress one day.

  • How long can someone physically walk for?

  • Oh, okay

  • How long can someone physically walk for?

    Jump

  • The Appalachian Trail is about 2000 miles and a lot if people walk that. Worth a Google search. There are documentaries, memoirs, plenty of before/after photos, etc.

  • Oops, fair enough!

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    Jump

  • It's also a good idea to share content without additional context whenever possible. Just send them a link to an interesting post. The more people get used to seeing interesting content on Lemmy, Masto, etc., the more likely they are to think it's not "weird" and maybe make an account to comment on something.
