User what is yoga

talkie-1930

Yoga is a system of religious exercises, having for their object the acquisition of supernatural powers, by which the perfon who practices them hopes to be enabled to control the operations of nature, to the attainment of any purpose which he may have at heart. The fundamental principle of the Yoga system is, that by long-continued habits of mental concentration, the spirit may be disentangled from the fetters of the flesh, and the soul may be made independent of the soul.

He wasn't arrested because he posted an AI photo. He was arrested because he was wasting police time during a genuine problem of the police hunting for a escaped wolf.

He would have been arrested even if the image wasnt AI.

The title and article are very...tabloid-y

some years ago when I too sent out short stories: For one story, one editor loved the setting and opening scene, but hated the pacing.

The other loved the pacing, hated the opening scene! These were the editors at the top selling magazines at the time.

Needless to say, I didnt follow their advice. After some time, when no editor was found, I self pubbed the story in a collection.

Nice. Will Apple now also fix the "bug" where you delete a message on your phone, and 3 months later it downloads on your iPad or Watch, and you can never be sure your messages are really gone?

Before anyone asks: No , I didnt turn on any setting to save all my messages to some external server and download them whenever, even if I delete them locally

Is it a bug or a feature though? What's more common: wanting to delete a message and have it stay gone, or accidentally deleting the message you wanted to preserve? For most people the latter is more likely than the former.

What on Earth? No, normal users actually also want to permanently delete messages all of the time.

There's not some alternate reality where the all of people's actions need to be automatically ctrl-Z'd on their behalf without any input.

Dear... Apple users really have a different level of loyalty than anyone else.

I don't use or own any Apple devices, and don't play to. But mobile space is a duopoly, and both sides tend to implement the same questionable ideas in lockstep, so developments here will likely affect Android users like myself just as much.

Reddit's /r/programming banned all AI related posts temporarily. And I must admit, it made the place more interesting.

Maybe have AI Tuesdays, where you only post AI crap every Tuesday?

Here in the UK, Apple maps is the only app I use. I dont even use the inbuilt car gps.

Here in the north east of Scotland, I have to switch back and forth between Google Maps and Apple Maps. Apple Maps provides vastly superior residential navigation (it understands that many houses only have names, not numbers, and knows what those names are), but commercial information (where to find a café, are they open, etc.) is often incomplete or outright missing. It seems like Apple have coughed up for POI licensing from OS Maps or similar, but they're limited to whatever business information they can get from Yelp.

yeah, Apple maps isnt so good for tourist info, at least once you leave the big cities. I just use the web version of google maps if Im out travelling somewhere remote

Surprised to see the negative reaction this post is getting... seems a lot of ai bros are being triggered :)

Edit/update: I can't even read the article because evidently I have been "blocked", no reason given. Great, maybe the negative posts here have a point.

Sorry, I am the author: that block was just temporary and affected ALL traffic to that URL while I updated the post. The block was not targeted at anyone in particular. I never intended for that post to reach as many people as it did. :/ I have a very small audience of people who follow my writing, so it was kind of devastating to see comments here likening me and people like me to "a group that goes around burning libraries." Cheers to everyone who kept it civil.

no probs, site is back up again :)

Thanks for understanding. I never implement blocks on my site lightly.

Social media platforms (like Instagram) have always had this problem of "buying" followers. There was an article some time ago where hollywood types would only give roles to people with high followers so people started buying followers.

Now that money is flowing to Github stars, no wonder people are buying fake "stars"? Seems capitalism is working as expected...

"believe they have to start with serverless, kubernetes, fleets of servers, planet-scale databases, multi-zone high-availability setups, and many other "best practices"."

Its worse than that. Thats how they are taught, and shamed if they dont "enterprise" their hello world app with 20 layers of failsafes...

Just tried llama.cpp

NO, it is not simpler or even as simple as Ollama.

There are multiple options-- llama server and cli, its not obivous which model to use.

With ollama, its one file. And you get the models from their site, you can browse an easy list.

I dont have the time to go thru 20billlion hugging face models and decide which is the one for me.

Thanks, but I'm sticking with Ollama

jan.ai would be the ideal route to take here then. its open source, has a simple chat interface, it uses llama.cpp, it lets you search for models and downloads them, and it supports .gguf so youre not locked in if you want to use the models with another program later on
