Removed the post myself after realising the community only allows articles. My bad!

Migadu doesn't provide sources for their deployment, as far as I know, but most of the components they use are open and available on the usual places: https://github.com/migadu

On my system, I can use the compose key to type a bunch of unicode chars, such as —, …, ≠, → and so on. Sadly, the pervasive use of em-dashes by LLMs ruined my use of them... It's a pity, because I quite like them stylistically.

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, "they" (the Lemmy maintainers and contributors) should eventually do that, but those systems are hard to get right, doubly so on a decentralised network such as this one. For now, it doesn't seem to be a priority (v1.0 is).

The recent evolution is great and I've been a happy KDE user for many years, but my oh my is NetworkManager bad. It's not good on all systems that use it under the hood, but I find it especially unintuitive and so outdated. The applet thing is fine (still suffers from weird behaviour from NM's core), but actual settings screen drives me crazy... The Bluetooth one should also receive some love, but it's decent. NM needs serious revision.

I agree it's a nice way to try it out, though it has some limitations. Also, my experience with encryption at rest has been a mixed bag, though I think that's just because Nextcloud's implementation isn't quite mature enough.

(happy cakeday!)

Yes! Oh my, I'm silly; that was precisely my point and I managed to mess it up 🙃

Thank you for the correction!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

It's a key that makes the next 2 or more keystrokes be dead key inserts that combineinto some character otherwise impossible to type.

In my case, my keyboard had a ≣ Menu key which I never used, so I remapped it to Compose.

You're correct, but that's like saying along the lines of manufacturing a car is just bolting and soldering a bunch of stuff. It's technically true to some degree, but it's very disingenuous to make such a statement without being ironic. If you're making these claims, you're either incompetent or acting in bad faith.

I think there is a lot wrong with LLMs and how the public at large uses them, and even more so with how companies are developing and promoting them. But to spread misinformation and polute an already overcrowded space with junk is irresponsible at best.

I've been getting into the habit of also using em/en dashes on the computer through the Compose key. Very convenient for typing arrows, inequality and other math signs, etc. I don't use it for ellipsis because they're not visually clearer nor shorter to type.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself. There's no translation of weights to jumps in transformers and the underlying attention mechanisms.

I suggest reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_(deep_learning_architecture)
