local question for Indians, where are all the premixed curries in the supermarket?
  • so if i got a curry powder, i would just put that in water and then it would become a curry?

    Nononononono. I was referring to premixed spices and stuff. Stuff like rajma masala, pavbhaji masala, chole masala and stuff. It's just common spices mixed in different proportions that you can buy in packets from the store.

    What you are looking for is something that I've never seen in Indian supermarkets. But again, as the other commentators suggested, big basket or some online grocer could work for you.

  • local question for Indians, where are all the premixed curries in the supermarket?
  • I never heard of the term "premixed curry" before. You'll get premixed curry powders everywhere. No premixed curry though. I really doubt their taste would be remotely close to that of non-dehydrated tomato, onion, ginger, garlic, and curry leaves.

  • Ok, good luck on your project. We'll talk when any given peertube project (based on the donation based funding model alone) reaches break even.

    I swear I've reviewed the finances about this a million times over. Funding models in their current form just don't work. Content creators getting free hosting from YouTube with huge audiences are struggling to keep themselves afloat. But whatever, good luck on your project I suppose. We really need YouTube's monopoly to end, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • Sure! Remember though, that you are funding this project using your own money. How much does your server cost? How much does the electricity to run your server cost? You would need Gbps speed internet. How much does that cost?

    You would be funding this out of your own pocket. Thank you for doing that! Would there be a thousand more people willing to do this? What happens if you lose your job? What happens to the server?

    As you can see, this is not a technological issue, but a funding one. If you can generate funding for this somehow, you have a very viable model! IF you can find the funding.

    I am saying that funding this would be difficult. I see people just yapping about FOSS, but not funding it when the time comes.

  • Ok, so you just ignore the reports and continue to coast on feels over reals. Cool.

    I didn't. I went through your links. Your links however, pointed at a problem with the environment our LLMs are in instead of the LLMs themselves. The code one, where the LLM invents package names is not the LLMs fault. Can you accurately come up with package names just from memory? No. Neither can the LLM. Give the LLM the functionality to look up npm's database. Give it the functionality to read the docs and then look at what it can do. I have done this myself (manually giving it this information), and it has been a beast.

    As for the link in the reply, it's a blog post about anecdotal evidence. Come on now... I literally have personal anecdotal evidence to parry this.

    But whatever, you're always going to go "AI bad AI bad AI bad" till it takes your job. I really don't understand why AI denialism is so prevalent on lemmy, a leftist platform, where we should be discussing about seizing the new means of production instead of denying its existence.

    Regardless, I won't contribute to this thread any further, because I believe I've made my point.

  • OpenAI is boasting that they are about to make a lot of the legal profession permanently unemployed.
    1. The morals of LLMs match us closely, as they've been trained on human data. Therefore, weighing two laws against each other isn't difficult for them.
    2. For the interpretation of reality part, it's all logic again. Logic, which a fine tuned model can potentially be quite good at.

  • Naah I thought about this before and came to the conclusion that this isn't that bright of an idea. Here's why.

    Why's video hosting so expensive in the first place? Because it needs a lot of computational power, storage and bandwidth. All three things that a mobile phone does not have. If you make your client's mobile phone do this stuff, then you're going to slow down their phone, make it heat up more, make it degrade faster (because it would be drawing power from the battery) and take up a huge chunk of their bandwidth.

    Think of how video calls drain battery really fast. It's just shifting the costs of hosting from the hosting side to the consumer side while making the entire operation a lot more complicated and a lot more inefficient.

  • OpenAI is boasting that they are about to make a lot of the legal profession permanently unemployed.
  • You're ignoring the whole Job of a judge, where they put the actions and laws into a procedural, historical and social context (something which LLMs can't emulate) to reach a verdict.

    LLMs would have no problem doing any of this. There's a discernible pattern in any judge's verdict. LLMs can easily pick this pattern up.

    You know what's the quality of the code LLMs shit out?

    LLMs in their current form are "spitting out" code in a very literal way. Actual programmers never do that. No one is smart enough to code by intuition. We write code, take a look at it, run it, see warnings/errors if any, fix them and repeat. No programmer writes code and gets it correct in the first try itself.

    LLMs till now have had their hands tied behind their backs. They haven't been able to run the code by themselves at all. They haven't been able to do recursive reasoning. TILL NOW.

    The new O1 model (I think) is able to do that. It'll just get better from here. Look at the sudden increase in the quality of code output. There's a very strong reason as to why I believe this as well.

    I heavily use LLMs for my code. They seem to write shit code in the first pass. I give it the output, the issues with the code, semantic errors if any and so on. By the third or fourth time I get back to it, the code it writes is perfect. I have stopped needing to manually type out comments and so on. LLMs do that for me now (of course, I supervise what it writes n don't blindly trust it). Using LLMs has sped up my coding at least by 4 times (and I'm not even using a fine tuned model).

    I also don't agree with your assessment. If an LLM passes a perfect law exam (a thing that doesn't really exist) and afterwards only invents laws and precedent cases, it's still useless.

    There's no reason as to why it would do that. The underlying function behind verdicts/legal arguments has been the same, and will remain the same, because it's based on logic and human morals. Tackling morals is easy because LLMs have been trained on human data. Their morals are a reflection of ours. If we want to specify our morals explicitly, then we could make them law (and we already have for the ones that matter most), which makes stuff even easier.

  • OpenAI is boasting that they are about to make a lot of the legal profession permanently unemployed.
  • Law = rules. Action A is legal. Action B isn't. Doing X + Y + Z constitutes action A and so on. Legal arguments have to abide by all rules of logic. Law is one of the most logic heavy fields out there.

    As for LLMs not being able to reason, it's very debatable. Whether they reason or not depends upon your definition of "reasoning". Debating definitions here is useless however, as the end result speaks for itself.

    If LLMs can pass certification exams for lawyers, then it means either one of two things:

    1. the exams are flawed
    2. LLMs are capable of practicing law.

    An argument for elevated rail

    The UCP jerks seem to be making the underground tunnel for the green line impossible. A possible new alignment could be elevated rail through downtown. After I watched this video, I think it wouldn't be that bad after all?

    Try Orbit by Mozilla: a new AI productivity tool

    Orbit is an LLM addon/extension for Firefox that runs on the Mistral 7B model. It can summarize a given webpage, YouTube videos and so on. You can ask it questions about stuff that's on the page. It is very privacy friendly and does not require any account to sign up.

    I personally tried it, and found it to be incredibly useful! I think this is going to be one of my long term addons along with uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and so on. I would highly recommend checking this out!

    Would you join a fediverse coop?

    The idea is simple. A worker-consumer hybrid coop that develops, maintains and hosts a lemmy-like fediverse platform that is open sourced.

    There r two pricing tiers- a free and paid tier. If u pay a monthly membership fee, you become a member of the consumer body. If u r hired by the coop, u of course become part of the worker body.

    The core of the coop's workings are direct democratic. Creating, filling and destroying job positions are all done direct democratically. To pass a piece of legislation, either one of the following conditions need to be met:

    1. Simple passing: Both, worker and consumer bodies cast more than 50% votes each for the given bill.
    2. Consumer override: If the consumer body casts more than two thirds of the votes for a bill.

    Assume that the quality of the platform is as good as Lemmy is right now. Assume that the functionality is similar too.

    Would you be interested in being a member? Do u think this is a good idea?

    I personally find Lemmy's current donations based model to be severely lacking from a fundraising point of view. There needs to be a better form of organisation imo.

    The direct democratic consumer coop element would bring in more people imo. I'm hoping that the worker coop element prevents worker exploitation.

    Do you think this is an absolutely horseshit idea? Or do u kinda like it? Or do u have any suggestions? I'm seriously considering this, which is what made me ask this here. I have a Lemmy client nearing the MVP stage which I was developing with this purpose in mind. Sorry if this is the wrong community for the post.

    AlphaProteo generates novel proteins for biology and health research - Google DeepMind

    deepmind.google AlphaProteo generates novel proteins for biology and health research

    New AI system designs proteins that successfully bind to target molecules, with potential for advancing drug design, disease understanding and more.

    AlphaProteo generates novel proteins for biology and health research

    TLDR: Google's DeepMind has developed a new open sourced AI system called AlphaProteo, which can design novel proteins that bind to target molecules. This technology has the potential to accelerate progress in various fields, including drug development, disease understanding, and diagnosis.

    AlphaProteo was trained on vast amounts of protein data and has learned the intricate ways molecules bind to each other. It can generate candidate proteins that bind to target molecules at specific locations, and its designs have been validated through experiments.

    The system has shown promising results, achieving higher experimental success rates and better binding affinities than existing methods. It has also been able to design successful protein binders for challenging targets, such as VEGF-A, which is associated with cancer and complications from diabetes.

    However, the system is not perfect and has limitations, such as being unable to design successful binders against certain targets. To address these limitations, DeepMind is working to improve and expand AlphaProteo's capabilities.

    The development of AlphaProteo raises important questions about responsible development and biosecurity. DeepMind is working with external experts to develop best practices and is committed to sharing its work in a phased approach.

    Overall, AlphaProteo has the potential to revolutionize protein design and accelerate progress in various fields, but it requires careful consideration of its limitations and potential risks.

    Are there any cool Canada wide cooperatives?

    Hey everyone!

    So I'm finally moving to Canada very soon (yayy). I'm moving to Calgary specifically. I asked this question in the Calgary community too, but I'll ask it here too for a Canada wide answer.

    Are there any good cooperatives that I can support and purchase from? Sayyy large home furniture coops or phone co-operatives and so on... Are there any good news cooperatives? Maybe some nice clothing cooperatives? I know that credit unions are more province specific, but still... Any good credit unions that have a good Canada wide presence? Maybe little artisan shops in say some small town in Ontario that make good stuff n ship it across Canada?

    Any name drops would be appreciated!

    PS: I've heard about Calgary Coop, so yeah... Anything more than this?

    Do you know of any cooperatives in Calgary?

    Hey there!

    So I'm finally moving to Calgary within a month (yayy). I kinda want to support co-operatives here. Of course, I'm aware of the existence of Calgary Coop. Aside from that, do you know any cool cooperatives whose products/services u use?

    Any good credit unions? I heard servus was good. Are there any smaller shops/cafes which are some sort of cooperative? Any mentions would be appreciated! :)
