For anyone that’s confused: they are talking about 120,000 km.
Ah I see.
Researchers who work on transformer models understand how the algorithm works, but they don’t yet know how their simple programs can generalize as much as they do.
They do!
You can even train small networks by hand with pen and paper. You can also manually design small models without training them at all.
The interesting part is that this dated tech is producing such good results now that we throw our modern hardware at it.
I don’t think so? Not a neuroscientist or whatever though.
It’s pretty easy to understand how it works. It’s a giant “guess which word should come next” machine.
Oh it’s definitely dying.
It runs on any old raspberry pi (any but raspberry pi 1 I believe) in your house, can be used by family and friends as well. Has iOS and Android apps… I have had good experiences with the easy to set up https://snikket.org/ XMPP server.
what do you have in mind? Jabber/XMPP is very similar.
Unfortunately the feddit.de server has been broken for quite a while and we have trouble contacting the admin.
But it has 10k impressions!!! which means that 9k bots scrolled past it and a couple of people had it loaded on their app.
Seems like a fun couple
Well but Thunderbird can get mails from dozens of email addresses at the same time.
What blog post? Can’t find it.
Yes I totally agree!
Because it works well
I urge everyone to install linux on an old notebook and see if it works for you with firefox as a browser and thunderbird for emails
It was never efficient/fast enough.
In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers.
Yes but they will sell all of it plus where your mouse pointer was and how long you viewed what topic happily.
Mastodon I think has a built in feature to delete posts after x days. But I wouldn’t use it since people who want to stalk or surveil you will find the hdd space to save your posts within these days but friends and people interested in your posts will not find it after 6 months. So I don’t think that’s a solution to your problem.
What could be of interest to you is the mastodon feature to only post to followers. That means that you will also have to approve followers as well, since it’s pointless to post to a limited amount of people if that’s potentially everyone.
You would still have to trust their server administrators somewhat but since most servers aren’t run with profit in mind you won’t find that many sell the user data.
You can’t make this shit up
