Yes, /dev/null can even power sites like zombo.com

What’s the I/O throughput of /dev/null ?

From the Github page: "curl -sL https://plandex.ai/install.sh | bash"

Enticing users to blindly run remote 3rd party code on their machines is IMHO not a proper thing to do.

This approach creates a dangerous mindset when it comes to security and good practices in general.

How is this any different to downloading and running a binary?

I'm working to make private hosting easier. I've been running a software development agency in Melbourne for 10+ years and have been building this platform in the background to help automate and standardise the hosting needs for our clients.

We're now getting ready to launch a web portal for others to manage their own private hosting in a simpler way. The product also includes a directory of off-the-shelf applications which can be launched in a few clicks (eg. Deepseek chatbot).

If you're interested in being part of our closed-Beta in March, reach out! (e: james at below domain)

Note: This is not an actual model but rather an announcement of an effort to reproduce the R1 model.

It will be very interesting to see if they can reproduce a similar model on the shoestring budget claimed by Deepseek.

> I live in a more rural community (moved from a big city). We have 5-6 small (~50k people) towns, all well connected. Everything happens on Facebook. I would like to move to a different platforms. Plus points for self-hosted, federated.

Do YOU want to move off of Facebook for some reason, or do people want to move off of Facebook for some reason. MOST people in the US, especially in a rural are are not going to quit an app because say the CEO of a company is friendly to the President. You have an uphill battle, and at best you are going to shed a majority of users. Facebook is a popular platform, especially for those 30+ people in a small town that use local groups.

Exactly, is OP really the one who should be influencing others preferences? Most couldn’t give two shits about the technological perils that await them just over the horizon - and should you really be the one to inform them of those horrors? Just relax - and embrace the book of faces. The movement will be swift and relatively painless, mostly.

This tech is cute but the only viable outcomes are going to be porn and mass produced slop that'll be uninteresting before it's even created. Why even bother?

Comments like this one are so predictable and incredulous. As if the current state of the art is the final form of this technology. This is just getting started. Big facepalm.

It’s pretty bad. just when you think you can order AMD chips since there is no shortage, and use a translation layer and have a cheap AI datacenter, it turns out AMD is fumbling the ball at every step of the way

It’s interesting. They have had plenty of time and resources available to mount solid competition. Why haven’t they? Is it a talent hiring problems or some more fundamental problem with their engineering processes? The writing has been on the wall for gpgpu for more than 10 years. Definitely enough time to catch up.

> There are no markets without government intervention

What does this mean?

bottled_poe · a year ago
Someone must police the rules of the market I suppose? Also, a truly free market benefits those who own the market, no?
