Are the GPUs commercially available yet? :o We need a website akin to "are we rust yet" but for chinese GPUs/CPUs

[–] uberstar@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Yep, looking at this again months later, I'd say this one's a lot easier on the eyes, nice one :)

Does it work well with Lemmy embeds (e.g. under the post description)?

[–] uberstar@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I feel it's important to me that the service doesn't block as many countries

Yep, as expected from an average lib, there it is. Not only are you incapable of answering simple questions to back up your frivolous platitudes, you deflect with retorts and you keep moving the goalpost and/or segue into subjects that have nothing to do with DeepSeek. Keep on it all you want, it's called cope, and you'll be riding that train for a while.

Fortunately for you by the way, that tired and labored topic has been covered in class before: https://lemmy.ml/post/24883639/16142507

For as long as you are unable to answer these questions, you'll forever be at odds with reality, lib.

You can register your account without having to supply a phone number. You can use the service without querying your phone number or other forms of PII. Privacy minded individuals sometimes have to use proprietary services (e.g. at work, at school) and do so with caution and they make sure to exercise common-sense too when going in, you know? Once again, you can literally just self-host if you're not too trusting of the online version. You have a choice.

Now tell me: have you tried DeepSeek before the DDoS attacks (or self-hosted it)? What’s the catch with using DeepSeek? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements? What makes DeepSeek not "good", "fast" and "free"?

off-topic here as well, why stop at privacy policies? EULAs can get wilder, best such example of which is Apple:

it's pretty hard to paint a general picture of lemmy when, more often than not, one instance is drastically different from the other.

detective conan sure had a hard time cracking the case!

"The personal information we collect from you may be stored on a server located outside of the country where you live. We store the information we collect in secure servers located in the People's Republic of China," the privacy policy reads.

Oh the horror! Let's look at what our glorious spawns-of-techbro heroism has for us in store:

ChatGPT:

spoiler

OpenAI processes your Personal Data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy on servers located in various jurisdictions, including processing and storing your Personal Data in our facilities and servers in the United States. While data protection law varies by country, we apply the protections described in this policy to your Personal Data regardless of where it is processed, and only transfer that data pursuant to legally valid transfer mechanisms.

Claude:

When you access our website or Services, your personal data may be transferred to our servers in the US, or to other countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the UK. This may be a direct provision of your personal data to us, or a transfer that we or a third party make.

So not only is your data "possibly" stored in one country, now there's a possibility of it being stored in many different countries. Where's the outcry for that?

Ok, so maybe your data being under the jurisdiction of another country is sus, right?

In another section about how DeepSeek shares user data, the company states that it may share user information to "comply with applicable law, legal process, or government requests."

OH MY GOD SOUND THE ALARM!

ChatGPT:

spoiler

We may use Personal Data for the following purposes: [...] To comply with legal obligations and to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of our users, OpenAI, or third parties.

Claude:

spoiler

Pursuant to regulatory or legal requirements, safety, rights of others, and to enforce our rights or our terms. We may disclose personal data to governmental regulatory authorities as required by law, including for legal, tax or accounting purposes, in response to their requests for such information or to assist in investigations. We may also disclose personal data to third parties in connection with claims, disputes or litigation, when otherwise permitted or required by law, or if we determine its disclosure is necessary to protect the health and safety of you or any other person, to protect against fraud or credit risk, to enforce our legal rights or the legal rights of others, to enforce contractual commitments that you have made, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

So not only can your data be subject to the authorities, but it's also handed out to 3rd parties (mind you, DeepSeek does the exact same, so why is it any surprise?).

Not only does DeepSeek collect "text or audio input, prompt, uploaded files, feedback, chat history, or other content that [the user] provide[s] to our model and Services," ...

🤦... You get the idea now, bother yourself with the privacy policies of the respective contemporaries and CTRL + F to "User Content" or "User Input".. Same fucking shit.

Companies with AI models like Google, Meta, and OpenAI collect similar troves of information, but their privacy policies do not mention collecting keystrokes.

Yes, collecting keystrokes is probably the oddest thing here. To compare data farming giants with a decade and a half's worth of data collection to a startup in terms of data collection is so astronomically dumb.

I could go on but I'm bored now. Do your own research.

 

not sure which community to post this to but... this is my personal account on one of the many EU countries that are experiencing a lovely housing crisis.

 

Dramatic title but w/e :P

 

I know that the standalone RTX Voice application allows GTX cards to be used, but bear in mind it's only for GTX and RTX graphics cards. What about AMD graphics users? What of those that don't have RTX 5 Billion or AMD RX 8 Billion?

The second thing that would be addressed in a hypothetical FOSS alternative would be the dataset the AI relies on. While it may not be useful for end-users, for developers this could be used for their respective projects, or maybe even a fork?

Or maybe users could contribute to the dataset by recording random potentially unwanted noise? Idk, the possibilities may be considerable.

There is this project though to be honest it's too much to take in at once for the uninitiated and time-constrained like me. What RTX Voice does right is it is simply one software and one separate virtual driver. Set the microphone you'd like to be suppressed and set RTX Voice as default. It's almost Plug n Play in a way.

 

oh yeah and i created this community so as to post tutanota ddos updates and such..

Welcome to c/open_e_resources,

This community, which is not affiliated with UNESCO's OER btw, was created so that anyone may share educational resources that are open, libre and free by nature.

Quality education shouldn't need to be expensive, locked behind paywalls and proprietary licenses, so let's unlock those gates together.

The 5R principles below are used as our metric for the resources we search for:

  • Retain - make, own, and control a copy of the resource (e.g., download and keep your own copy)
  • Revise - edit, adapt, and modify your copy of the resource (e.g., translate into another language)
  • Remix - combine your original or revised copy of the resource with other existing material to create something new (e.g., make a mashup)
  • Reuse - use your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource publicly (e.g., on a website, in a presentation, in a class)
  • Redistribute - share copies of your original, revised, or remixed copy of the resource with others (e.g., post a copy online or give one to a friend)

(excerpt taken from opencontent.org)

When finding a resource, make sure to list the license/nature of the resource and anti-features, similar to how F-Droid does it.

If there's any question or anything you'd like to see improved/changed, let me know. I'm also looking for mods (no criteria).
