Indeed I bought a Banana Pi BPI-F3 with SpacemiT K1 8 core RISC-V chip,4G RAM and 16G eMMC https://www.banana-pi.org/en/banana-pi-sbcs/175.html for €95.89 including delivery. The form factor is nice though and I do enjoy Framework mission and partnerships. Depends what people need it for, good to have more options than aren’t “just” SBC/devboards. I won’t buy one now but I’ll definitely keep it in mind.

I used KODI for a while but switched to “just” minidlna/ReadyMedia for a lighter setup. I know that VLC can resume videos even over DLNA so I’m wondering if it can abstracted away, e.g having a VLC script that checked, maybe based on filename, if the opening file has already been played from another location and if so, resume from there.

I see that in ~/.config/vlc/vlc-qt-interface.conf there is a [RecentsMRL] section with list (unfortunately local only I believe) and times (in seconds I imagine). One could imagine to scp that file to the NAS using e.g inotify (after writes) then merge it (not replace) on that section only, then a shortcut that before starting VLC get the merged file and does the same. That should allow for resuming across devices.

Genuinely curious, what pieces do you suggest we can keep from LLM/GenAI/etc?

scientific accuracy is anathema to AI marketing

Even though I agree in this context “hallucination” is actually the scientific term. It might be poorly chosen but in LLM circles if you use the term hallucination, the vast majority of people, will understand precisely what you mean, namely not an error in programming, or a bad dataset, but rather that the language model worked well, generating sentences that are syntactically correct, that are roughly thematically coherent, and yet are factually incorrect.

So I obviously don’t want to support marketing BS, in AI or elsewhere, but here sadly it matches the scientific naming.

PS: FWIW I believed I made a similar critic few months, or maybe even years, ago. IMHO what’s more important is arguably questioning the value of LLMs themselves, but then it might not be as evident for many people who are benefiting from the current buzz.

Except the 2 are not causally related. One can have 5.1 without the logo or, even worst, the waiting time.

FWIW you can fix it locally and eventually use a pull request.

I don’t know find well enough to comment on feasibility but I bet it’d be interesting to try, and maybe realize it’s not trivial.

Jumps by 16%? Jump to 16%? I would question my own mastery of English but if others had the same problem then arguably it was not clear enough.

Yes… I thought 'WTF… that can’t be right" then read the first sentence, went back to the title “Oh… no I didn’t misunderstand, I was mislead”. Bad OP.

nobody is out here running a plain Linux kernel and maintaining a UI stack while AOSP exists.

Wrong, that’s even why I bought a SteamDeck (edited to add the most famous), PineTab2, PinePhone, and a reMarkable and use them pretty much daily.

Are there a lot of these compared to Android? No, but please do not say “nobody” when you mean “most” or “the vast majority” because by doing so you are reducing the perception of choice. Some people, like me, DO prefer plain Linux when they can. By hiding the fact that commercial solutions do exist this is helping an already dominant solution.

Real-life vampires.

Because they can limit it and thus make app more attractive and keep a 30% cut?

Same here but it’s not Firefox with its own Engine, it’s a Firefox frontend for WebKit with some of Apple’s restriction.

They are but it’s not ready AFAIK https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1882872

Can’t wait to use it though and be able to install WebExtensions.

FWIW I know it’s from https://octodon.social/@jalefkowit but trying to search I can’t find the original post from 2022.

OP what’s the actual fediverse link? I want to Boost it on Mastodon but all I get is a link to a .jpeg
