Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can a device offer voice cloning funcionality that allows you to load any audio file from the device for cloning, as opposed to recording yourself reading sentences, if disclaimers are implemented?
0·7 days agoThere were devices back in the 1990s that did exactly that (no disclaimers though)

News@lemmy.world•Michigan 'digital age' bills pulled after privacy concerns raised
0·9 days agoNot even close but at least the crazies are trying to do the right thing. They pointed out that it would violate DTMB’s own policies as written and then they would run into a boatload of compliance issues. And that detail hit the news right before they let it out of the bag…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?
0·9 days agoWell, you can either start a small business or find a small business that does something and is willing to train you. As degrees have become worthless in comparison to other people recommending you for the position.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you deal with the reality of loneliness?
0·24 days agoEveryone eventually dies, including us but probability is still a thing and if you are so desperately worried about being alone; join a poly relationship. The odds of all of them dying at the same time is very low and you can add more people over time who you love and who loves you too.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•AFFORDABLE selfhosted nocode relational databases? (à la Baserow/NocoDB, etc.)English
0·29 days agoThank you for the recommendation.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How serious will the problems be in the future if people rely too much on AI or can't work and live without them at all?
0·29 days agoWhat water use does your phone have? Because an Orange PI has none. You can run it off a $5 solar panel and thus the energy problem is not there.
Stop conflating society destroying Capitalism with community built and maintained software. They may have functional similarities but the negative properties of Oracle Databases are orders of magnitude worse and different than FSF supported Databases such as PostgreSQL.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How serious will the problems be in the future if people rely too much on AI or can't work and live without them at all?
0·29 days agoDepends on who controls the AI. If you are running it locally.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•AFFORDABLE selfhosted nocode relational databases? (à la Baserow/NocoDB, etc.)English
4·29 days agoThere is no such thing as no code, just code that someone else wrote. Not that such code isn’t trivial to get from a basic LLM that you can run locally for pennies a year.
https://blog.mlc.ai/2024/04/20/GPU-Accelerated-LLM-on-Orange-Pi
Just setup a standard PostgreSQL database and then work with the LLM to write some C# code to connect to it and create, update and delete data per your own system needs. Hire a part time programmer if you need more help. They usually can get you where you want to be cheaply if they are FSF developers and you don’t restrict them from using the code they write for you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?
0·30 days agoWe are currently charging women for murder because they have had ectopic pregnancies removed. So no, that is not how the laws about murder are currently being applied in the USA.
And yes, I agree that a Turing complete CPU could be just a few dozen transistors. (Or just one depending on how you count ROM)
bacon_pdp@lemmy.worldto
Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?
0·30 days agoIt is just a simple OODA loop (observe, orient, decide, act loop) that needs to have the decision made for when constraints conflict. Which by definition must decide who dies. The manufacturers have been explicitly clear about that point so that they can doge liability.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?
0·1 month agoYes, they have to explicitly tell it in software to kill others (such as pedestrians) to save the lives of the passengers or prevent the theft of the vehicle itself.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?
0·1 month agoMurder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1111
It is no different than firing a bullet from a gun into an area where people are walking. Claiming software doesn’t change that fact

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026English
2·1 month agoIt worked well with just 64MB of RAM
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Fundamentals_for_Legacy_PCs
So they easily can get the memory footprint down to the floor

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is no one held accountable if a driverless EV ran over a pedestrian?
0·1 month agoThe vehicle owner is criminally liable for murder in that case.
I support the corporate death penalty.

9·1 month agoThey already know that the solution exists in their Windows for Legacy PCs but they don’t care about it and will waste their time and money going in a loop.
That is why they needed outside help to get Windows for Legacy PCs to hit their memory target



Odd thought but what exists to stop someone from taking the money and giving matching identifiers to their friends who then take up all the spots and then they just blame ICE for blocking access to ICE.
