By the way, you can still run the Yunohost installer ontop of your Debian install... If you want to... It's Debian-based anyway so it doesn't really matter if you use its own install media or use the script on an existing Debian install. Though I feel like adding: If you're looking for Docker... Yunohost might not be your best choice. It's made to take control itself and it doesn't use containers. Of course you can circumvent that and add Docker containers nonetheless... But that isn't really the point and you'd end up dealing with the underlying Debian and just making it more complicated.

It is a very good solution if you don't want to deal with the CLI. But it stops being useful once you want too much customization, or unpackaged apps. At least that's my experience. But that's kind of always the case. Simpler and more things automatically and pre-configured, means less customizability (or more effort to actually customize it).

Thanks for your perspective. Sure, AI is here to stay and flood the internet with slop and arbitrary (mis)information phrased like a factual wikipedia article, journalism, a genuine user review or whatever its master chose. And the negative sides of the internet have been there long before we had AI to the current extent. I think it is extremely unlikely that the internet is going to move away from being powered by advertisements, though. That's the main business model as of today, and I think it is going to continue that way. Maybe dressed in some new clothes, but social media platforms, Google etc still need their income. I wonder how it'll turn out for the AI companies, though. To my knowledge, they're currently all powered by hype and investor money. And they're going to have to find some way to make profit at some point. Whether that's going to be ads or having their users pay properly, and not like today where the majority of people I know use the free tier.

Oh, wow. What's your estimate on how it's going to turn out? Is it a vastly different thing? I mean SEO also requires quite an amount of technical knowledge about how proprietary algoritms work. Experience... You always need to be super up to date with everything. And we have a lot of snake-oil salesmen. I believe "AIO" would be a shift and some new things to learn, but not be too different or an entirely new thing?

That sounds fun, SEO so it's also ingested by AI... Maybe I should check my spam folder to see if all the people who send me spam to optimize my homepage already picked up on that.

I believe if you're smart, you don't publish an opinion piece on this. The entire discussion is just a shit-show. One side mixes empathy for people with anti-zionism and hate on jews, the other side confuses what an university is about and mixes everything with anti-woke resentment. Universities are supposed to tach how to think, not what to think. I agree with the author that tolerating hate is arguably a bad thing to do. It's just difficult in the context of this discussion, since it's about something else.

Sure. But we need to see pics, or it didn't happen.

The abstract doesn't mention them re-gaining their old capacity. It only says they shrink. And something about voltage. So I have my doubts. I mean it's nice if my spicy pillow shrinks a bit. But what does that help if it continues to stay nearly dead? And an application in products would be hard to accomplish. At that temperature, all the plastic etc is going to melt. Maybe the solder as well.

I've always backed up my SMS to my E-Mail inbox. With something like SMS Gate or SMS Backup+. I think it's nice to have all messages in my mail program. Of course that only does one way. To reply and get immediate notifications, I use KDEConnect (or GSConnect which is the same thing for GNOME.)

Wasn't "error-free" one of the undecidable problems in maths / computer science? But I like how they also pay attention to semantics and didn't choose a clickbaity title. Maybe I should read the paper, see how they did it and whether it's more than an AI agent at the same intelligence level guessing whether it's correct. I mean surprisingly enough, the current AI models usually do a good job generating syntactically correct code one-shot. My issues with AI coding usually start to arise once it gets a bit more complex. Then it often feels like poking at things and copy-pasting various stuff from StackOverflow without really knowing why it doesn't deal with the real-world data or fails entirely.

I've also had that. And I'm not even sure whether I want to hold it against them. For some reason it's an industry-wide effort to muddy the waters and slap open source on their products. From the largest company who chose to have "Open" in their name but oppose transparency with every fibre of their body, to Meta, the curren pioneer(?) of "open sourcing" LLMs, to the smaller underdogs who pride themselves with publishing their models that way... They've all homed in on the term.

And lots of the journalists and bloggers also pick up on it. I personally think, terms should be well-defined. And open-source had a well-defined meaning. I get that it's complicated with the transformative nature of AI, copyright... But I don't think reproducibility is a question here at all. Of course we need that, that's core to something being open. And I don't even understand why the OSI claims it doesn't exist... Didn't we have datasets available until LLaMA1 along with an extensive scientific paper that made people able to reproduce the model? And LLMs aside, we sometimes have that with other kinds of machine learning...

(And by the way, this is an old article, from end of october last year.)

Oh, wow. Should be pretty obvious that something isn't open source, ...well... unless the source is open...

See to what IP your domain points, and if that's really the external IP of your router. Might also help to put in your IP address into the webbrowser instead of the domain, to see if port 80 / 443 really go somewhere. Another possibility, do a portscan from the internet.

Btw, how do you access Wireguard? I mean that's also somehow able to access your network from outside...

And if we're really talking about "open-source" and not just "open-weight", the additional scientific papers, datasets and tooling are going to help democratize the technology and even out the playing field to a degree.
