  2. It’s a Binary World 2.0: More Fun With Local AI Models. “A few days ago I mentioned playing around with local AI models, despite having low strength hardware for the task. Yesterday I was trying our some new models – tinyllama and smollm2 – and I asked each model the same question to compare the answers. After doing this for a few questions, I had the same feeling I always have when I’m doing […]

  3. Lifehacker: Social Media Platforms Are Training Their AI Models on Your Content, but You Can Stop Them (Sometimes). “Even if you find out how your data’s being used, many sites simply don’t offer you the ability to opt out. And of all the ones I looked at, not a single one that trains AI offers an opt-in model. Put simply, if you logged on today, tech companies took that as your consent to […]

  7. Hey I'm not a music dummy but I'm a MIDI / synth / VST(??) dummy so anyone got any favorite introductory guide books?

    I'm such a… classical musician. 🙃 All I ask is do NOT make me learn midi tab.

    (Reminds me of the time my ex made me transpose the Violin II part of the entire Sweeney Todd orchestra score into alto clef so he could fill in on viola (we were in the pit together for several shows - I was playing Toby in this one). I mean, he could read treble clef, at least well enough to re-write it. But he made me do it.)(TBF I was quicker but - he would have been just as quick by the end if he'd done it himself! Acquire new / improve current skills when given the chance, people.)

  11. How-To Geek: I automated my research workflow with open-source AI, and I finally own my data. “Online AI services are a great way to search through and parse long documents, but they come with some drawbacks. Your data is held by someone else, you use up tokens or require a subscription to get access, and you need internet access for it to work. By switching to a local-only approach, I can […]
