This is much more likely as LLMs typically only respond that they can’t formulate a response when there’s an error in the prompt pre-handling systems.

This isn’t entirely accurate. Main issue is that this is all very new and moving very fast, so while it’s not fair to call atprotocol completely open it’s not fair to call it centralized either.

Right now you can run a relay independently and you can scrape bluesky’s PDS set with it (guy did that in July and it cost about 150 bucks a month, probably more expensive now. https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y) there’s just not much incentive to do so. This recent policing of accounts might change the calculus on that thought process, but for now it’s not really that you “can’t” it just nobody really wants to. (Additionally there’s only like one client that lets you set multiple relays and/or appviews, so the front-ends haven’t caught up with this idea either.)

Theres about 760 or so independent PDSs right now: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses and the list is growing.

You can host an independent blog using your own PDS and not even using bluesky’s Relay network at all: https://github.com/haileyok/blug

Or you can still have your data independent on your PDS but still allow the relay to scrape your blog update mentions: https://whtwnd.com/

tl;Dr:

They are VC-Funded, they will inevitably screw over everyone!

I understand where this notion might come from, though, ATproto has already matured enough that it could be used without BlueSky PBC existing. It could die tomorrow, and with little effort the ~650 non-bsky PDSs and a relay (which would have to handle much less data at that point) could be ran by volunteers and interested people.

BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.

That’s fine, most of the content was written by corporate robots before anyway.

Pages that don’t work well with darkreader aren’t many, but when they do fail they fail somewhat entertainingly:

I run btrfs on every hard drive that my Linux boxes use and there’s the occasional hiccup but I’ve never run into anything “unrecoverable.”

I will say that compared to extfs, where the files will just eat shit if there’s a write corruption, because btrfs tries to baby the data I think there appear to be more “filesystem” issues.

Typically when there are “can’t mount” issues with btrfs it’s cause the write log got corrupted, and memory errors are usually the cause.

BTRFS needs a clean write log to guarantee the state of the blocks to put the filesystem overlay on top of, so if it’s corrupted btrfs usually chooses to not mount until you do some manual remediations.

If the data verification stuff seems more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth you can turn most of those features off with mount options.

I’ve had btrfs go into an error state because of a bad write before, but it was pretty easy to recover from

Seeing as how the full unquantized FP16 for Llama 3.1 405B requires around a terabyte of VRAM (16 bits per parameter + context), I’d say way more than several.

Yea a surprisingly small number of people don’t know a git remote can literally be any folder outside of your tree, over almost any kind of connection.

I thought about doing a forge but realized that if I was the only one working on this stuff then I could do the same thing by setting my remote to a folder on my NAS.

This seems cool but also a gateway for RSI

The way some moderation lists (ban/labeling) work is algorithmic.

You can actually host one of these services yourself!

It’s strange that Niantic is doing this when google has been doing the same thing with its own street map data.

Seems weird to make a competing product when (I thought) they are on good terms.

The fact they pulled ROCM support for older cards boggles the mind.

You don’t need to run the LLM on the device. It supports 13 different protocols for both text completion and chat completion.

There’s also RisuAI which has some nicer features like better integration with function calling. Sillytavern is working on Function calling more but it’s not quite there yet.

The nice thing about Sillytavern is that it also has plugins for Alltalk for TTS and ComfyUi/A1111 for image generation directly from the roleplay interface.

It also has support for RAG through upload of documents and web scraping and a shitload of other features it would take awhile to list here.

What do you mean by personal package manager?

What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

It depends on whether those dependencies are shared with other programs.

Bluesky is not great, but it’s at least (for now) a better platform than X and the AT protocol is actually very well written. (For instance having a moderation service separated from the service that provides the posts I think is a hands-down better way to handle it than most ActivityPub servers having their admins handle all incoming and outgoing moderation)

Bluesky federation is just now getting started so it’ll be interesting to see if it goes anywhere/where it goes.
