  • “Too many GPUs make you lazy”: Mistral challenges Google with local models Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2 and Voxtral Realtime

    Jump

  • That depends on your requirements or rather what you compare it with. Their models seem to focus on cheap agentic AI usage or even local installations. This will become relevant as soon as the AI bubble bursts and all big players have to massively adjust their prices. E.g. their latest "devstral 2 small" model obviously has to be compared to similar small model that offer a similar FOSS permissive license. But even comparing their bigger service based offering to similar "cheap" offerings from Anthropic it seems they can compete: https://byteiota.com/mistral-devstral-2-7x-cheaper-than-claude-72-swe-bench/

  • Just a reminder to everyone to be civil (according to community rules) but also use the block function when needed. This is both possible for posters and commentors you don't like to see. From the mastodon.world code of conduct: "Do not report every post that upsets you. Please report posts that violate our rules but for others that you may find distasteful, or just don’t like, use the tools available to you. You can block the user or mute the conversation."

  • Man I just love the browser and its features. But it does help that they are EU based and have some pretty well known browser veterans as founders. Also they are quite supportive in their forums and I feel they try to be as transparent as possible in their blog posts. E.g. they made clear to support Manifest V2 as long as it is somehow possible while also keep on improving their builtin ad blocker (but we all know nothing can keep up with uBlock)

  • Some of the good one are in German. They do have subtitles I think tho or even separate audio tracks. However this year it felt like there were quite a lot in English.

  • I think this is the normal instance behavior of Lemmy instances. It would be too much load for small instances to sync everything in the fediverse. Instead a member of your instance needs to first manually find a community before it starts tracking and makes it automatically available to the other instance members from there on.

  • Few weeks ago I saw a really cool presentation about the history and current state of Linux phone. It is unfortunately in German, slides in English though: https://youtu.be/JeFoRE72Gu0

  • you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can't exactly remember. It's ok to be wrong though we won't hold it against you :-)

  • Our fediverse conversations are gonna have the context they have been missing!

    Jump

  • Well you have your "home" lemmy instance which you are logged in to. Everything you see goes through your home instance. But many things you will see originate on a completely different "remote" instance. Your home instamce nees to be federated and synced in order to the everything that happens in the remote/origin instance

  • Not sure about the current situation. However in general Twitch uses server side injected ads (SSAI), which are basically unblockable. They can however be bypassed (using different methods, each having it's own pros and cons). Anway there is a very active twitch ad blocking community that will explain everything: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions Most reliably is having either an http proxy or a vpn in a country that is not served ads.

  • Well that is actually quite dynamic as sometimes advertisers suddenly choose to place an ad in somen fringe country like czech rep. or Georgia. Mostly those small eastern EU countries are not attractive enough for advertisers. For some reason I also never get ads with Luxembourg IP, even though they are one of the richest countries in the world. Probably too small of a traget audience.

  • I use my paid vpn extension (Nord) to select a Country for twitch.tv which isn't served ads. However I would all my traffic go through that specific vpn as it causes trouble with other appe/pages. So being able to cnveniently switch my IP per domain is pretty nice sometimes.

  • Some years ago I heard about this German guy that found a mind boggling bug in Xerox scanners and the whole story how they tried to play it down is really insane. So definitely worth watching, unfort only with German audio: https://youtu.be/7FeqF1-Z1g0
