Mastodon has no algorithm, right? Wrong! Mastodon does. The algorithm is chronological ordering. If you do not have the time to read everything this means statistically you mainly get to see those accounts that post a lot of stuff. The precious ones that post little but that you really want to […]

@EdCates denying the use of LLMs to FOSS maintainers will only result in losing ground to commercial alternatives which use them extensively, not to mention the tons of pseudo-open-source slopware which is, unfortunately, already taking over. I would have preferred a world where LLMs didn't […]

It's obvious that all of this is still relying on compute power coming from hyperscalers, but hopefully we will soon be able to do so in a much more sustainable way.

Thanks to these efforts, we can now have a hybrid model:cycles/samples and avoid wasting materials and space in a new unit. I think we can all agree this is a good thing, regardless of our opinions on the usage of AI in other fields. I can see these things being used to deobfuscate and […]

Reverse engineers have been utilizing LLMs to decompile and enhance synth firmware. This is a good example of how "AI" can be used in favor of hobbyists and end users. Machines like the Elektron model:cycles are known for being artificially limited on the software side, as the manufacturer wants […]

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI feature with user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

I haven't used it in one year, let alone done anything with it which could be considered "abuse", so it clearly has been hacked. I have already appealed the […]
