I think some of those are genetic.

Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?

Nothing against NextCloud, buy it’s not the only solution available, and people have different needs.

They have similar licences.

NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0

OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can’t just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a “remote” drive, then do the operation from there.

It’s much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

My wife had unbelievable pain in her feet, especially during pregnancy. We tried a lot of things before going to a foot doctor. It’s not necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, but they have a lot of neat toys that can analyze your individual foot and create custom insoles. It’s an easy investment in your health.

1. I like to own the stuff I buy.

2. I don’t want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.

3. I don’t want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.

Having come from zero knowledge, to now self-hosting for over a year, I can tell you that you just search for them one at a time. Sometimes they will make sense. Sometimes not yet.

Stick around here, ask questions, and look things up.

Great! Love this app!

Right now I’m using Jellyfin for my music server. If I ever switch back to subsonic / navidrome, then you’re my number one pick by a mile. Thank you for making this!

Marble? More like a yoga ball.

I just want my money back that I spent on a show that’s been “delayed” for a year and a half.

You’ve just described the post-scarcity economy.

I think of the two possible trajectories as the Star Wars universe and the Star Trek universe. Both have fully automated supply chains through droids/replicator technology. However, in Star Wars, only the elite few have access to that technology. Hence, the economy is still centered around trade and, well, as the title would suggest — wars. In Star Trek, that technology is democratized and made available to everyone to create a world in which money has no meaning, and everyone has access to technology and meeting their basic needs.

It all depends on what kind of society we decide to build from here on out.

Depending on how cold you want it, the heat death if the universe is just another 10^101 years away ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, over a long enough timeline this is true. Usually people are interested in cooling things sooner than the death of the Sun.

“Wait, explain how Neopets was Scientology again?”

“What was the purpose of the hamster dance?"

Geocities?

I report dozens of bot accounts on meta every month (actually slowed a bit recently). 80-90% of the time they take no action and leave the account up.

Here’s an interesting post that gives a pretty good quick summary of when an LLM may be a good tool.

Here’s one key:

Machine learning is amazing if:

• The problem is too hard to write a rule-based system for or the requirements change sufficiently quickly that it isn’t worth writing such a thing and,
• The value of a correct answer is much higher than the cost of an incorrect answer.

The second of these is really important.

So if your math problem is unsolvable by conventional tools, or sufficiently complex that designing an expression is more effort than the answer is worth… AND ALSO it’s more valuable to have an answer than it is to have a correct answer (there is no real cost for being wrong), THEN go ahead and trust it.

If it is important that the answer is correct, or if another tool can be used, then you’re better off without the LLM.

The bottom line is that the LLM is not making a calculation. It could end up with the right answer. Different models could end up with the same answer. It’s very unclear how much underlying technology is shared between models anyway.

For example, if the problem is something like, "here is all of our sales data and market indicators for the past 5 years. Project how much of each product we should stock in the next quarter. " Sure, an LLM may be appropriately close to a professional analysis.

If the problem is like “given these bridge schematics, what grade steel do we need in the central pylon?” Then, well, you are probably going to be testifying in front of congress one day.

Maybe it’s changed, but my experience with OCR is that it is not great at detecting nuances of punctuation.

Well, maybe a little. Em dashes and en dashes are pretty standard (and editorially enforced) in newspapers and academic journals. By length, every religious text is eclipsed by news and journal media on a daily basis.

The !selfhosted@lemmy.world community has a lot of information on how to do this. I got into it a couple years ago because I felt weird about google listening in on my lightswitch activity (and to steal TV). Now I have a nice set of services running that have nothing to do with media (and actually help me do more things legally, and in some cases better than before).

There are also software communities like !grapheneos@lemmy.world to help with tools to manage software better. I am not a fanboy or anything but I like that GrapheneOS allows any app to be installed without network permissions.
