It feels like the punchline is that a certain type of person doesn't know how to fill out a form. Idk what the hell happened to Lemmy but I'm out.

    Ian Miles Cheong's Twitter-fame is baffling to me. I often follow conservative people on there if they're in an important position of some sort, but this guy has accomplished nothing that makes his perspective more relevant than the average schmuck.

    Joe Biden ends re-election campaign in c/news@lemmy.world
    [–] 4 points 2 years ago

    Win or lose, I'm not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we're doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn't looking good for him.

    The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It's a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.

    Maybe in the distant pre-cloud past, when sysadmins were still a thing, you'd expect a bigger staff to be needed to manage a bigger datacenter.

    But a few devs who know how to spin up a thing with auto-scaling can accomplish a lot

    I'm glad they're adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there's a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers

    I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.

    I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone's plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.

    I think these are fair points. and I can't say I blame anyone for wanting Meta/FB out of their life entirely. I see value in both options - the option of having maximum connectivity to others, and the option of having only parties that are considered to be in good ethical standing. And I'm glad the fediverse can offer both options to everyone. For me personally, having communications cut between users based on who is hosting their instance is a last resort.

    Ghostpad 0.5 Released (lemm.ee)
    submitted 2 years ago* by [M] to c/ghostpad@lemm.ee
    comment fedilink
     

    https://github.com/ghostpad/ghostpad

    This is a major change behind the scenes, which greatly simplifies the install process - it's now exactly the same as Kobold's install process. npm is no longer required, and the process to run Ghostpad is now exactly the same as the process to run Kobold. Upon installing, you have three UIs to choose from

    Ghostpad @ [host]:5000

    UI2 @ [host]:5000/new_ui

    UI1 @ [host]:5000/classic

    Full changelog

    - Ghostpad's frontend is now 100% static, built using Bun and Vite.
- Removed "game started" check in chat mode - it will now use chat formatting 100% of the time, even if the story is empty.
- Merged with latest revision from henk's branch
- Changed hostname setting to "Hostname Override".  This will now default to empty, and the socket connection will default to the current URL

    Ghostpad v0.2.0 release (github.com)
    submitted 2 years ago by [M] to c/ghostpad@lemm.ee
    comment fedilink
     
    • Eliminated many excessive React renders
    • Fixed a bug where an action was being updated by index instead of ID, causing broken story updates in some cases
    • Added Audio Input and Audio Output options to the top-right menu. With both of these enabled in desktop Chrome, you can now have an audio-only conversation with your AI. These are based on the open Web Speech API spec, but have cross-browser issues and should not be considered a stable feature.

    Important: Chrome's implementation of the speech recognition API is not offline - it will send your data remotely.

    TLDR: Better performance. less bugs. don't use audio features yet if you dislike Chrome or value privacy

    If you are serving Ghostpad from a different host than localhost and want to use speech recognition, you need to enable Insecure origins treated as secure and add that URL in chrome://flags

    State of Ghostpad - 09/24/2023 (lemm.ee)
    submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [M] to c/ghostpad@lemm.ee

    First post in this brand new community! Welcome.

    Ghostpad is an interface built on top of a light fork of KoboldAI. You can check out the project repo for more information.

    I'll be sharing updates here as they happen, as well as in the KoboldAI Discord in #ghostpad

    This weekend there were a few important backend changes:

    1. Support for Exllamav2. After manually installing exllamav2 into the Kobold environment, it should be detected and available in your list of model backends. The reason I'm not auto-installing it is because I've heard this can be quite the project in Windows. My experiences in Linux have been smooth. I hope to make this a more automated process once the build process is simplified.

    In Linux, the process should be as simple as cd'ing to your Kobold directory and entering

    git clone https://github.com/turboderp/exllamav2.git
sh commandline.sh
pip install ./exllamav2

    1. Support for AutoAWQ. If you follow the latest Llama model releases in Huggingface, you've probably noticed a huge number of releases in this format. AutoAWQ is now an auto-installed dependency of koboldai-ghostpad and should not require any additional steps to use. There is a "fuse layers" option which can greatly improve performance, but I've encountered random errors when using it, so I recommend leaving it off for now.

    2. Python 3.10 bump. Official KoboldAI is still on Python 3.8, but I'm making the leap so that I can support the type-hinting features used in AutoAWQ. It's possible that this may lead to some unexpected issues, but it's been stable for me so far.

    I don't want to make any promises, but one of the features I'm most interested in implementing next is a combination of speech-to-text and text-to-speech, allowing for you to have audio-only conversations with your AI.
