Sometimes it’s a power consumption issue.

In my case I could use a pi in terms of CPU and ram but I need a lot of SATA. After putting in a perfect energy saving MB and a picoPSU I am idling at 16 watts. But id preferred a pi regarding power.

But yeah sff PCs are cheaper and much more powerful.

Okay let’s talk terminology

I meant the useable application as a for example chat bot.

The model itself is useful as far as it enables me to understand the underlying logic of the whole thing right? But without the data and I guess a training period with it I can’t use it if I understood it correctly.

If I am right with the above this wouldnt make it useful as in I can reproduce it as a functioning application and I wouldn’t call that opensourve in my understanding of the word.

Honest Questions Can a model be open source? Dont we need the data it was trained on to truly be able to reproduce, understand and modify it?

I absolutely could. That doesn’t change my stance on this software.

The code hidden in xz was also publicly available and didn’t get caught. So much for open source making all things safe just by being open source. And that was a high value target. Imagine what happens (or could) on a smaller scale.

Honestly now, are you reading code of a nice project You want to spin up in a docker to try out? I don’t. I check the project and the stars/engagement. If it goes any further I check who is involved in it and that’s about it.

It looks fishy. Happy to see somebody putting something out there but if I am not reading the code I have to trust reputation and the age and number of stars on GitHub (although those can be bought too) are not doing it for me.

When will there be the next xz attack thingy?

Windows. Somehow I went away and was replaced by Linux.

I am absolutely on your side regarding telegram. I was talking about the tool highlighted here.

Uhm. It is important to remember that people are not the extension of the government they live under.

If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.

Nice job setting the record straight.

If you use a service like GitHub you can make it private but be aware that the Info is still readable by the service provider. Not in a sense that they are gonna steal your idea (unless you invented a way to make good) but something like secrets passwords etc in your code.

I’d go for Codeberg, it’s free as in free speech and beer and is an open source project based on gitea. They are working at a federation protocol to make coop doable but without the need for a centralized provider v

That image made me relapse.

Real talk: are you in dialup or something like satellite with really bad rates? Backwoods? Fire watch tower?

Excuse be but are you from the past?

Damn you Adobe.

Nice!
