Lol, you suck

I mean, yes, the entire premise of ChatGPT is “we stole all the data we could to give you really convincing, logically devoid, text generation!”

Telemetry is fine, it’s the abuse of it that is the problem.

If a project is clear about it, takes the minimum necessary data, and anonymizes it, make a clear and reasonable retention policy, then I am all for it.

Better detergent. If you are not sure which, just try a few out until you find one that works. For me it was ariel powder that really made a difference (also easy to store and lasts a while)

I guess it is a varying thing. Where I am from, the housing market in basically any place that isn’t super remote is already insane, buying basically any property in the region I am living in currently would cost me about 80% of my money as a down payment. I would have to work for about another decade just to get back to the same amount of savings, but the housing market is so crazy that I really have no idea where it will be a decade from now, there is a very real possibility of a collapse that will devalue the property. The advantages of renting for me are basically:

• I am okay with extremely tiny homes, so I am able to rent an apartment that was illegally split and because it is tiny the rent is very low (and no roommates which is great) (my current place is 15m² or 160ft² or 1.2 Cybertrucks or 5 golf carts or 1200 big macs)
• I am still not settled on which region I want to live in for the long term, so renting gives me the flexibility to move as I need
• Being a landlord sucks and I don’t want to do that
• my current savings being invested make significantly more revenue than any rent I would be able to take from any property within my price range.
• The stock market is low commitment and variable in both size and risk of investment. If I fear that there might be a financial collapse soon I can sell my stocks and buy something else (other stocks, gold, monero, cash, etc) while if a housing crisis seems to start, selling my house would take weeks-months.

If somehow I find myself really settling down in a specific area, and find a really good deal, I still might do it, but I really really doubt, it will only happen if it is a really good deal on a place that I really want to live in.

Being frugal, doing certifications at a young age, being in cyber security (high salary even within tech) and investing almost everything I earned, and being privileged (coming from a financially stable family, getting a highschool education, having a computer from an early age, etc) means that at 25 I essentially didn’t have to worry about how much I earn anymore and could just do what I want (still need to earn some money so that I wouldn’t start chipping at my savings) and know that as long as there isn’t some crazy financial collapse, my savings should be able to casually grow into a retirement on their own.

I recognize that I am really lucky to have gotten the opportunities that I then used to the best of my abilities. I am still living very frugally (in general, but extremely compared to my coworkers) but to some degree that is in my nature. I still find myself sometimes deep diving into my finances to make sure I am correct in my predictions and budget as it is insane to me that I was able to do this.

Important notes for why this is even possible, on top of the stated reasons above:

• I don’t intend to ever buy property, even if I could. I will rent until my parents pass away, after that, I might reconsider. (Long term this is the best financial option as investing in stocks yields generally more for less risk, and for now I don’t have a place that I want to “settle down” in)
• I am child free and have invested around $3K to get a vasectomy (yes, I see it as an investment to avoid unwanted and expensive consequences, plus it basically pays itself back after a decade of not needing other forms of birth control) So no huge budgetary lifestyle changes expected until my health deteriorates.

Most self-hosted solutions come as containers, containers are Linux only and on Windows they run under the WSL VM, so eventually (if you are not doing full installs) you are still using Linux

Stupid enough to do AI slop, stupid enough to not know how to disable the lid actions

Personally I don’t think intelligence is the solution, it would justake conflict more complex and thought out. You would need more empathy for a better world.

It is completely up to your local market and needs, ie for how much you can sell it, what you can buy etc…

The only tips I can give you:

• Do you REALLY need all of the compute power? Most people don’t and you would wast a ton on electricity. This point on it’s own is enough to push most to a mini pc. (Immich can run on basically any mini pc)
• is there absolutely no other place for the server where the noise wouldn’t be an issue?
• look into sound proofing, you could house it in a box lined with acoustic foam with a the airway taking multiple 90° turns to keep airflow while reducing noise.

P.S:

I personally went on an in-between, I have a large tower pc, basically a server but with hardware meant for mostly silent work, so it rarely get’s noisier than background.

Not that I am a stunt person, but as far as I know:

• training (there are ways to fall that are more controlled and less harmful)
• hidden safety gear (thick clothing, hidden protection)
• hidden set safety (fake floors that are soft, mattresses that are removed in post, etc)
• and finally, getting actually hurt, a lot… All stunt people get hurt often, it is an actually dangerous job

Agreed, but also, this is on the open internet, so always assume that all of this data is going to these corporations anyway

Today with models like gemma4, you could literally do this on basically any hardware, but for text moderation ypu don’t even need LLMs, we have ML models that do text moderation perfectly fine and run 10x faster

Wthout going into the issue itself, it is such a ridiculous waste to use an llm for something that a far simpler model could do like 100x faster and locally for essentially free…

Just search for “machine learning text moderation” and you will find all kinds of options. Not to talk about the fact that a simple 4B LLM could do this as well.

One thing I really hate is how LLMs have completely overshadowed the entire ML/AI field and people just use them for everything.

Using a trillion parameter LLM model for basic text moderation is like using a gaming rig to play candy crush.

Firstly you have 2 different categories: edibles and smoking. These are completely different processes with different chemistry and biology.

Since there is plenty of good info here, I would only say this:

The difference between different options in tge same category are just how fast and how efficient they are, that’s really it. The speed can make significant differences in feeling but usually all options can be used to get all of the same results, just some are better at one thing while others are better at another.

Vim is worth learning minimally because it is so common, but U am team nano because I have enough info in my brain and I don’t edit text files in the terminal enough to make it worth remembering how to properly use vim
