Or...just don't use AI.

These dumb shits act like it's enriching people's lives. Instead, it's just making a very specific group of rich people more wealthy.

It's a fleecing of suckers who think it's some useful tool to eliminate human workers that cost money.

just_another_person ,

I'm just convinced all of y'all asking about this are in a huge circle jerk that never ends, but refuses to understand how it all works.

A model is a model. It's a simplified way of narrowing down thresholds of confidences. It's
a pretty basic sorting algorithm that runs super fast on accelerated hardware.

You people seem to think it's like fucking magic that steals your soul.

Don't send information over the wire, and you're golden. Learn how it works, and stop asking dumb questions like this is all brand new, PLEASE.

just_another_person ,

Read the last part of my comment again. Seems I very clearly grasp the concern.

just_another_person ,

I'm not calling anybody dumb. I'm saying they're being willfully ignorant and assuming this is all brand new tech that is mysterious, rather than learning about how it works.

A lot of people are hyped by the "Hype & PR" machine right now instead of being (appropriately IMHO) suspicious and using critical thinking.

just_another_person ,

Not sure I should take a lot of interest in the thoughts of someone on the Internet trying to act socially or intellectually superior, but using the word "theirselfs", which is not a word.

I am definitely "Contra productive" though. I can beat it on a single life with no Konami codes 🫰

just_another_person ,

You're not really describing your use-case here. Are you just trying to run a server that does all your rendering for you so you can play games elsewhere? Yes, that's totally possible.

If you're trying to describe a business...no, it's not possible, scalable, or profitable.

I'm curious as to what your intentions are here though.

just_another_person ,

What you're describing is mostly a networking issue. I'm also pretty suspect about your setup and wishes. You definitely don't work for a large VFX studio, and you're not using this as described for CAD work. I'm going to guess this entire setup is for your anime and incest rendering farm.

This is a ridiculous question for anyone with this amount of hardware in their home already that's using it on a daily basis to actually work. You would also not be "running renders" if this was hardware provided by a company you work for.

Whatever is being asked here is for a shady ass person. Don't help them.

just_another_person ,

The amount of absolutely wrong answers in here is astounding.

NO. PCIE is not plug and play. Moreover, having a dead PCIE device that was previously accepting information, and then suddenly stops, is almost guaranteed to cause a kernel panic on any OS because of an overflowing bus of tons of data that can't just sit there waiting. It's a house of cards at that point. It's also going to possibly harm the physical machine when the power comes back on due to a sudden influx of power from an outside PSU powering up a device not meant for such things.

Why wouldn't instead think of maybe NOT running an insane workload on such a machine with insanely power hungry GPUs, and maybe go for an AMD APU instead? Then you'll get all the things you want.

just_another_person ,

You are mistaking "plug and play" with "hot swap/plug CAPABLE". The spec allows for specifically designed hardware to come and go, like Express card, Thunderbolt, or USB4 lane-assigned devices, for example. That's a feature built for a specific type of hardware to tolerate things like accepting current, or having a carrier chip at least communicating with the PCIE bridge that designates it's current status. Almost all of these types of devices are not only designed for this, they are powered by the hardware they are plugged into, allowing that power to be negotiated and controlled by the bridge.

NOT like a giant GPU that requires it's own power supply current and ground.

But hey, you read it on the Internet and seem to think it's possible. Go ahead and try it out with your hardware and see what happens.

just_another_person ,

Wow. Okay. Pull that card, buddy. Pedantic on the Internet. What a shocker. 🙄

just_another_person ,

Again...it is not. You can't just go and unplug swap anything anywhere into a PCIE slot. The protocol supports it, but it is not by any definition any sort of live swappable by default.

My speedometer says 200, but my car does not go that fast.

An egg isn't an omelet.

The statement "humans can fly" is technically true, but not without a plane.

A device that supports hot swap into a compatible and specifically configured slot could be though.

I can keep going forever with this.

just_another_person ,

You have multiple accounts, and are sadly so consumed with Internet points, you used both of them to downvote when you're won't. You're pathetic. Get a hobby. Maybe learning about hardware!

just_another_person ,

And it still is not.

just_another_person ,

Gee, I wonder what kind of contracts they are looking to lock down...

just_another_person ,

Not sure why, if true. I doubt Russia is making up a large chunk of their economic funding.

just_another_person ,

I believe this describes them altering the ad host at load time for the page. DNS blocking of ad serving hosts only work if the hostname stays predictable, so just having dynamically named hosts that change in the loading of the page would make blocking more difficult.

Example: 1234.youtube-ads.com is blocked by AdBlockerX. 5678.youtube-ads-xyz.com is not on the blocklist, so is let through. All they have to do is cycle host or domain names to beat DNS blocking for the most part.

Previously, injecting hostnames live for EACH page load had two big issues:

  1. DNS propagation is SLOW. Creating a new host or domain and having it live globally on multiple root servers can take hours, sometimes days.

  2. Live form injection of something like this takes compute, and is normally set as part of a static template.

They're just banking on making more money from increased ad revenue to offset the technical challenges of doing this, and offsetting the extra cost of compute. They're also betting that the free adblocking tools will not spend the extra effort to constantly update and ship blocklist changes with updated hosts. I guarantee some simple logic will be able to beat this with client-side blocklist updating though (ie: tool to read the page code and block ad hosts). It'll be tricky, probably have some false positives here and there, but effective.

just_another_person ,

So...which government got his claws in him this time? Taking all bets.

just_another_person ,

You are asking for a world of pain here.

just_another_person , (edited )

I think you're confusing a few ideas here, and it's hard to understand what your main goal is. Let me see if I can break down what you want here:

  • Small form factor if possible
  • Storage expansion
  • Low power (antithesis to 3.5" HDDs)
  • NAS features? (unclear here)

If you're just trying to run containers easily, Synology NAS that support it (certain tier) are really easy to use, and you won't have to worry about hardware except inserting the initial drives to use.

If you're worried about cost, sure, building your own is going to be the best bet. If you're not expecting to really tax the I/O of the drives, USB 3+ won't be the worst thing in the world, but the management of a storage array over USB will be problematic if doing it yourself.

Lastly, it may help us if you describe what you're actually trying to to host on this hardware. It's the difference between someone suggesting a very low power CPU like an N100, or a lowER power CPU like and AMD that has a bit more upfront cost.

If any of this is confusing, just have a look at Synology or Qnap maybe. It'll be easier to manage in the long run if you're not comfortable or enjoy fiddling with hardware.

just_another_person ,

They really lost the plot at this point.

just_another_person ,

Simple. Effective. Unlike Google.

just_another_person ,

Very clever

Spacetop AR laptop / glasses (www.sightful.com)

Wired AR glasses / laptop geared for work. Seems like a cheaper, lighter alternative to apple’s Vision Pro. Looked it up after seeing a cybersecurity guy use it in that crazy documentary on the Ashley Madison hack and a few people post about it on LinkedIn...

just_another_person ,

This is either a joke, or vaporware. Ironically, all of this is already possible without buying an untrusted hardware platform with unknown software.

just_another_person ,

I woke up this morning thinking "I wonder what the 3D printing gun community thinks about stuff.", and I'm going to bed not giving a shit. Fuck these psychos.

just_another_person ,

Great news for the deaf populace.

just_another_person ,

I wasn't being sarcastic...

just_another_person ,

It's a Phishing scam using a tool. It's no more exploiting SyncThing than TCP/IP.

just_another_person ,

This is the most likely issue. Log output is a must, btw.

just_another_person ,

Ummm, nope. Some might, but not everyone by a longshot. Salaries aren't great either.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Why is Lemmy showing me news from the 00's?

tj , to homeassistant
@tj@hometech.social avatar

Working on the @homeassistant setup this weekend now that the pantry is getting closer to being finished.

Trying to setup an automation to run the robot vacuum in the utility room every third time the litter box goes off. Cannot seem to get the zones working though.

Any thoughts?

just_another_person ,

It's telling you exactly what is wrong...

Int means a number. It's expecting a number, and you've simply provided 'kitchen'. I'm not sure what a "Segment" is in this context, but it needs to be a number, or list of numbers as the label explains. That means you need to map rooms, and get their numbers.

just_another_person ,

Np

just_another_person ,

Can we just stop calling it a feature? Nobody asked for this to be a core part of the OS except MS tech support.

just_another_person ,

Don't forget about the dangerous batteries and looming recall (due to court action I'm sure)! They'll soon have ZERO customers, in a way.

just_another_person ,

Actually a thorough article from Wired. Oh...written by an Associate Professor, that's why.

just_another_person ,

Make them legally liable for service outages related to network attacks. They'll clean that shit up instantly.

just_another_person , (edited )

I do. I've been in the industry a long time.

Fact is, none of these network providers will work to secure their own infrastructure if they aren't required to, or have financial incentive. They have no reason to improve their systems aside from making money. Threaten that, and they'll get on board with being more rigid in their security standards.

Your argument is with late-stage capitalism, not the actual effect of my comment.

just_another_person ,

Not how that works.

just_another_person , (edited )

Prompt data is pointless and useless without a human to create a feedback loop for it, at which point it wouldn't have context anyway. Also human effort to correct spelling dnd other user errors at the outset anyway. Hugely pointless and unreliable.

Not to mention, what good would it do for training? It wouldn't help the model at all.

just_another_person ,

You're confusing analytics with direct input storage and reuse of prompt data to train somehow, as in your original comment.

Analytics has absolutely nothing to do with their model usage and training, and would pointless. Observing keywords and interests is standard analysis stuff. I don't even think anyone even cares about it anymore.

just_another_person ,

You do not want a 200W router, ma dood. This thing is ancient, and not going to be optimized for power usage whatsoever.

just_another_person ,

I mean, if you're unfamiliar, maybe just go with Squarespace? There's a reason it exists.

just_another_person ,

Better question is: why are you running static storage servers in Docker?

just_another_person ,

Don't run storage services in Docker. It's stupid and unnecessary. Just run it on the host.

just_another_person ,

Why, exactly?

just_another_person ,

Very specific, but makes sense

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

just_another_person ,

Get a Drobo if you're that worried about that kind of access then. Make it simple.

Otherwise anything with two NICs is the same thing.
