The model does have a lot of advantages over sdxl with the right prompting, but it seems to fall apart in prompts with more complex anatomy. Hopefully the community can fix it up once we have working trainers.

The names missing from the list say more about the board’s purpose than the names on it.

Cohere’s command-r models are trained for exactly this type of task. The real struggle is finding a way to feed relevant sources into the model. There are plenty of projects that have attempted it but few can do more than pulling the first few search results.

I really like the simplicity and formatting of stock pacman. It’s not super colorful but it’s fast and gives you all of the info you need. yay (or paru if you’re a hipster) is the icing on top.

Don’t buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn’t an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.

There should be no difference because the video track hasn’t been touched. Some software will display the length of the longest track rather than the length of the main video track. It’s likely that the the audio track was originally longer than the video track and because of the offset it’s now shorter.

You can use tools like ffmpeg and mediainfo to count the actual frames in each to verify.

Koboldcpp should allow you to run much larger models with a little bit of ram offloading. There’s a fork that supports rocm for AMD cards: https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm

Make sure to use quantized models for the best performace, q4k_M being the standard.

I only have 60 down and 12 up so I cap about 80% of the time with a short uncapped window late at night.

Tun0 is the interface that most vpns are using so I assume proton is the same.

The drive is visible to the OS so if they have any kind of management software in place which looks for hardware changes it will be noticed.

French laws don’t recognize software patents so videolan doesn’t either. This is likely a reference to vlc supporting h265 playback without verifying a license. These days most opensource software pretends that the h265 patents and licensing fees don’t exist for convenience. I believe libavcodec is distributed with support enabled by default.

Nearly every device with hardware accelerated h265 support has already had the license paid for, so there’s not much point in enforcing it. Only large companies like Microsoft and Red Hat bother.

Just introducing them to it is probably enough. Show them different desktop environments and applications to get them used to the idea of diverse interfaces and workflows. Just knowing that alternatives exist could help them break out of the Windows monoculture later. Enable all of the cool window effects.

Dropping support after only 25 years? I can’t believe Linux is contributing to planned obsolescence.

That isn’t neccesarily true, though for now there’s no way to tell since they’ve yet to release their code. If the timeline is anything like their last paper it will be out around a month after publication, which will be Nov 20th.

There have been similar papers for confusing image classification models, not sure how successful they’ve been IRL.

Get yt-dlp then run: yt-dlp -x ‘video-url’

I believe if you’re willing to check the format codes on the video you can download audio only but both will get you the least compressed audio available.

From what I’ve heard they’re competitive for English but I’ve never used Deepspeech myself. Whisper has much more community support so it’s probably easier to use overall.

I’ve used the tplink ones that they’re using and they’ve been pretty solid. I can’t say how they’d fare in a 24/7 setup though since they’re not really intended for that.

Whisper is your best bet for FOSS transcription. This is the most efficient implementation AFAIK: https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper.

Not even remotely. It requires custom firmware which often requires physical disassembly to install. From there you can install any distro, but you will continue to have many small issues and inconveniences often due to the nonstandard keyboard.

There was a Chromebook targeted Linux distro called eupnea that could be installed without custom firmware via depthboot, but it’s dead now and the original repo got deleted after the Dev got hacked, so the build scripts don’t work anymore.

There are 2 ways to do it, either via depthboot(software only, no custom firmware, lots of manual OS prep, 0 risk) or custom firmware(maybe physical, model dependant, no os prep, small risk). For custom firmware you usually have to either bridge an internal jumper, unplug the battery, or build a custom cable, depending on your model.

While it is allowed it’s not supported by google.

I would never recommend buying a Chromebook with the intention of replacing the OS unless you’re looking for a project or you’re getting it for cheap.
