That would be pretty nice. Our plates are expensive over here (US) so we just put a new tiny year sticker on each time and keep the plates for a long time.

That's wild, I would not be able to keep up with trends in the industry I work in as much if I isolated myself from everyone. But happy it works for you.

I just used that for export, but I have yet to try import on it. But I'm assuming it works well, it has good reviews as far as I remember.

I'm genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?

Ren from Ren and Stimpy?

This is one small example, but I get notifications on developer livestreams for new models and new API updates and feature releases. The OpenAI sub itself is not only too many hours late in publishing any of them, but it's also only a fraction of the updates coming directly from the company itself. This extends to many other orgs and people I follow.

I'm a developer so I like to have quick access to new info to many frameworks and languages (and other lead devs that post updates.)

I keep a raspberry pi dedicated just to have NES/SNES/etc emulators via the "retropie" distro. I have thousands of ROMs that I can plug into any TV with HDMI and SNES/NES USB controllers for it. $100 for a full raspi kit to have full access to anything just by copying some files over to a microsd card. Can't remember controller cost but that's kind of a given requirement.

I thought this was all confirmed?

X is where people I want to follow post unfortunately. If they posted on mastodon, I would use that more. As it stands, a lot of people and creators I want to keep up with are only on a few select platforms at the moment. Maybe that'll change in time but I doubt anytime soon. Same situation with YouTube, I'd like to stop using that too but it's the only place to find certain things (small example: individual magicians who sometimes perform on Penn & Teller also post their own videos on YT only.)

100%, it's just a smart contract on a blockchain that can have multiple keys and logic as to who can add or unlock or withdraw funds at what times.. (like if you have a 6 person org and a transaction requires the key signatures of 3 people to also trigger the action for example.) The possibilities are endless. NFTs, however, were hijacked by retards.

One of the major breakthroughs wasn't just compute hardware, it was things like the "Attention Is All You Need" whitepaper that spawned all the latest LLMs and multi-modal models (video generation, music generation, classification, sentiment analysis, etc etc.) So there has been an insane amount of improvement on the whole neural network architectures themselves. (LSTM, Transformers, recurrent neural nets, convolutional neural nets, etc.) RNN's were 1972, LSTMs only came out in 1999 come to find out.

2009-2011 was when we got good image recognition. Transformers started after the Attention whitepaper in 2017. Now the models are improving themselves at this point, singularity is heading our way pretty quickly.

https://ollama.ai/, this is what I've been using for over a year now, new models come out regularly and you just "ollama pull " and then it's available to run locally. Then you can use docker to run https://www.openwebui.com/ locally, giving it a ChatGPT-style interface (but even better and more configurable and you can run prompts against any number of models you select at once.)

All free and available to everyone.
