I've been self hosting immich for the past 6 months. It's pretty awesome. The App has some performance issues but the web is flawless. I cut down on my iCloud plan since I deleted most of my videos from it. I use restic to manage backups with my own key offsite.
Who wants to be support for family and friends.
I have no idea, I use wireguard to access it. I have disk encryption setup. They'd need to hack my linux server SSH which I have protection turned on to shut it down after failed attempts. It would be a challenge to get access to my photos on disk. They could steal my phone and access through the app if they could get them all before I disabled access since Im using encrypted icloud account.
In the end who would want all my photos for that amount of work lol?
Im of the opinion it’s all marketing and the government has continually shown themselves to be insider traders.
lol for us it was token spend charts, then we’re told token spend is stupid so they create some aggregate metric of cost per line of code that also tells us nothing of actual customer value. It’s wild to me how at that level there’s zero repercussions
It’s so odd to me how companies decided what LLMs are capable of without data backing it up. Were all the execs conned or something ?
Ok? Claude is already mining everything else. Why should they be protected but not the data they stole ?
I’m not sure I agree because it was used to manipulate people into where we are today. News quality is a real problem. So much of it’s been bought and corrupted.
They're pretty limited these days
Wonder how long this can continue. Wages are stagnating while consumer items are going up double digit percents.
My company banned Chinese models but I’ve got opencode setup with some open source coding models just in case. Luckily our laptops have some RAM (Mac)
Microsoft names everything copilot anymore so everyone will continue to be confused
This is all still going on at my company but they’ve been trying to create dashboards to measure us as good or bad with our output unsuccessfully but they keep shoving it through anyways. It’s demoralized a lot of people.
My country proves time and time again ego and profits matter more than lives. It’s always so depressing watching it all happen and if you try and point out the cost it’s hand waived away or seen as a personal attack.
I don’t believe that at all. Maybe it’s killed large lecture classrooms. There’s a lot of other ways to engage students and ensure they’re learning but it involves being more active and actually communicating with them instead of yapping lectures at them and making them write about it. I find most college classes that involved lectures to be a waste, why sit and listen to a teacher summarize a book for an hour? My best experiences were classes with active engagement and producing things in class or bringing them back to class to share discuss and learn.
Telegram won’t even let you stop random people from spamming you if you don’t pay monthly. It isn’t a company that cares about privacy at all.
Skeptical they’re even able to pull up a ladder there’s so many more models out there making great progress just behind them.
Who knows, people in Korea inject salmon sperm in their faces I learned recently. There seems to be no end to weird stuff people will inject into their bodies to feel better about their looks.
I was always baffled by people who use the Apple mouse and keyboard my wrists hurt just looking at them
He’s certainly said things to deserve some hatred. I’m also lost why anyone thinks his mars trip is real. He has a long history of promising and not delivering.
If there's one thing Tesla taught me is Elon can somehow get away with promising things and not delivering on them continually for years.
I was trying to make an app to detect the note on an ocarina. I was having a bit of pain with it. I asked Claude to research how other apps did it and within 5 minutes after pulling dozens of sites and Wikipedia entries it had it working near perfectly.
Claude is just a tool ? The developers who merged that code and didn't properly test increased the bugs.
Isn’t this the basics of embedded engineering ? Nothing here seems magic just an engineer with a good set of curiosity and persistence (maybe people like that are magic though ?)
No, it’s tribalism of sorts. For men they’ll often paint something they don’t understand with words like that. I grew up in a culture that did that and won’t go back. Many many humans lack basic curiosity about the world.
There’s an odd goal with “productivity” by CEOs in recent years under some obsession to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. I suspect in the US where it’s shown time and time again businesses don’t value human lives we will not see this which is sad. Humans could improve so much if we chose to.
Plus one for Fastmail I’ve been using with a custom domain for years now and it’s great. I don’t use Google for anything at this point, though I’m sure they’re still tracking me somehow.
Why else would they change the rule ?
So just hope something else appears?
There’s a long history of corporations doing evil things to ensure their business model succeeds
