Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

RCS is the wrong standard to use though, as there isn't a single FOSS Android RCS client. They should support something like Matrix.

That wasn't what I was saying though. I was talking about what should happen, not what is likely to happen, and criticising the EU for pushing for the wrong thing.

This has the potential to be really cool if the software, including the AI, is local and open source, and the hardware is easily repairable.

Whose law is it of headlines, that when they ask a question it can be answered with 'No'?

What does that command do?

Can you search the screenshots with OCR though? That's Recall's main selling point

You're probably right.

I'm not responding to the rest of your comment, but the idea that the brain is fully developed at 25 is a myth.

You make good, considered suggestions. But even if Musk would read them, he's not the sort of person to make considered, rational, moves.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Is it? Even if it is, it's probably dropping in favour of win10, rather than Linux.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I wish I shared your optimism. Most likely most regular users won't care about not getting security updates, some of the ones that do will switch to Linux, but the majority (of the minority of people that care about getting security updates) will probably switch to win11, macOS, or ChromeOS (which might as well not be based on the Linux kernel seeing as it's so locked down).

Well, we haven't solved the hard problem of consciousness, so we don't know if size of brain or similarity to human brain are factors for developing consciousness. But perhaps a more important question is, if it did develop consciousness, how much pain would it experience?

*Krita. Especially with the AI Image Generation plugin, it's much more of a Photoshop alternative than GIMP.

You can also activate Windows for free with a github script, but it's still not under your control like Linux is.

I don't why they even care so much, there are open source, comparatively powerful LLMs without these restrictions. Or you could just search a search engine for how to make meth. I didn't think the knowledge was illegal, just putting it into practise.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

If Open AI was the only LLM, your argument might make sense. But they're not, there are lots of FOSS LLMs with no restrictions. Even if 'Open' AI managed to fully censor their own AI, there would be lots of other models for people who don't like censorship to use to, for example, generate a pseudoscientific article about the Nazis. But also, a human could write that article without AI. And people would rightfully call it out as bullshit. It doesn't really matter if AI wrote it.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

There are FOSS image generators too, I don't see your point.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah, it doesn't support Nationwide in the UK either, so no go for me too. Maybe there should be a standard, open protocol for connecting to bank cards to pay, so each company doesn't have to separately approach every bank?

You can actually make it look exactly like Chrome, Safari, whatever you want with userChrome.css. Mine currently looks like Safari.

Well fortunately it doesn't matter what you think, and people will keep developing and improving open source AI nonetheless.

Is that 128GB of VRAM? Because normal RAM doesn't matter unless you want to run the model on the CPU, which is much slower.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I have a Asus laptop with a GTX 1660 ti with 6GB VRAM. I use Jan for LLMs, only the 7B models or lower are small enough for my hardware though, and Krita with the AI Image Generation plugin for image generation, most things work in it, except it fails with an 'out of VRAM' error if I try to inpaint an area more than about 1/8 of my canvas size.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Any tips on how to get stable diffusion to do that? I'm running it through Krita's AI Image Generation plugin, and with my 6GB VRAM and 16GB RAM, the VRAM is quite limited if I want to inpaint larger images, I keep getting 'out of VRAM' errors. How do I make it switch to RAM when VRAM is full? Or with Jan for that matter, how can I get it to partially use RAM and partially VRAM so I can get it to run models larger than 7B?

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Not for me, but that might have been a slight exaggeration.

Why should they have to support Windows 10 when Linux would run fine on your 'old' machine? That really puts the 'yours' back in your computer, no need for a company to do it for you.

You're mixing up two things. In Trash, neither the pointers to the data, nor the actual data is deleted, they're just marked as deleted by moving them to a folder called Trash, or appending .trashed to their file name, which the file management part of the OS treats as trashed. If you clear your Trash, or directly delete the file permanently, the pointers are deleted so any data on the disk is marked as free to be overwritten, but until something actually overwrites it, you can recover it using data recovery software. If you change all the physical bits on the disk then the data is permanently deleted and can't be recovered. Unless, of course, it was copied to someone else's server first.

    The conservative government is trying to underfund and undermine the NHS so that people do switch to private healthcare and they don't have to pay for it any more. And then they claim it wasn't their fault, as people chose to switch. You're helping them.

    Don't get me wrong, this is sad, but no excuse to ban self driving cars. As long as they hurt less people than human drivers do, they're preferable to human drivers. Perfection is unrealistic and unnecessary.

    It's very useful as a product, for creating images, stories, poems, code. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean it isn't good.

    Are you also against copyright infringement when it's piracy? Because I'm not, so it would be inconsistent to judge open source generative AI models for doing something I don't consider wrong.

    Google unveils Veo, a high-definition AI video generator that may rival Sora (arstechnica.com)

    On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.

    Tell me again when it's open source.

    That means not open, right? I'm only interested once the first good opens Circe video generator is released, more closed source ones aren't interesting, once I heard about the first.

    They should switch to LibreOffice then, with Syncthing if they need to sync it across multiple computers.
