Presumably they get exactly the same amount of sunlight 100% of the time instead of a few hours peak on earth? I'd say 8x is in the right order of magnitude.

My layman expectation would have been much higher. It's got no atmosphere refracting anything and it's closer to the source of energy.

The distance from earth to the sun is 150 million kilometers and your orbit is probably only a few hundred kilometers up (and realistically it’s sun-synchronous and perpendicular to the earth-sun axis), so the distance change doesn’t really matter.

LEO isn't much closer to the sun, and the atmosphere probably doesn't absorb a huge amount at the wavelengths they work.

Old people are at least 20-30 years older than I am.

configuration.nix is that file for me. I gave up entirely on desktops and panels, and instead use xmonad and dmenu. I've had to adapt to exactly zero change in my ux in ten years. For me, enrichment comes from studying and experimenting, not from adapting every month or two to things that make somebody else feel good about changing.

I have a rule, if I hear an advert that I didn't search for on any video site, I say "fuck off <company name>" to ensure I form a negative association with the brand. I've definitely heard "grammarly" far too many times to ever spend a penny on them.

It means everybody else should slow down to let them get ahead.

That works for pieces that have one, although places that index those aren't always free.

In what world is everyone able or willing to pirate? I think your ad-absurdum is just absurd here.

>Duplicating a video doesn’t deprive another person of anything

This was the claim. I said what I said to point out that if everyone acted on this belief for a feature film, there would be a thousand people who ultimately don't get compensated for their work.

You are right: not everyone is able or willing to pirate. Piracy is only able to exist because of these people who pay for art. That's definitely true, and definitely different than the claim that no one is being deprived of anything.


What are they being deprived of when somebody who was never going to pay makes a copy?

Some were going to pay. They already want to watch the show badly enough to jump through the hoops of pirating it.

The motive of the pirate doesn't matter: they are deprived from the revenue that was circumvented.

No they can't be deprived of imaginary revenue.

They are deprived of the payment they asked for in exchange for someone viewing their work.

Also, "the pirate was never going to pay" is a far more imaginary thing here; it's an unproven claim (especially since it's often paired with "pirates would pay if it was cheaper/more convenient to access).

Regardless, it strikes me as a particularly arrogant kind of entitlement for you to violate someone's terms to enjoy their thing while telling them you think it's worthless.


I'm personally happy to pay to watch without adverts. I'm not willing to pay for adverts. If they only sell it with adverts, then I'm never going to pay for it. Whether or not I watch it, they don't lose a dime.

I understand the idea of refusing service you don't like, but there's just no way that disliking a service gives you the right to rewrite terms.

I dunno man. If you're gonna benefit from the hard work of others without compensating them, so be it. It's the pretension that you're doing something other than that, for motives other than pure self-interest, which really bothers me.


> for motives other than pure self-interest, which really bothers me.

What motives have I claimed?


You haven’t explicitly claimed one. If you have a motive besides wanting to see the thing without feeling like you stole something, I'd like to hear it.

> It's the pretension that you're doing something other than that, for motives other than pure self-interest, which really bothers me.

Yes, it's very hard for me to see your motives as being something other than pure self-interest.

Am I wrong?


Isn't that the whole point of the free market? Make the total cost/effort for something lower than the alternative, and people will pay for it. I paid for Netflix for ages when they had every show/movie that I wanted to watch, instead of stuff being fragmented across 20 services.

Sure, that's the point of the free market. But anywhere else in the free market, we don't say "I don't want to pay for this/deal with the inconvenience, so I'll just take it for free".

The only way people try to make this work logically is to talk about how a digital good has a nominal real cost - but that's a very different argument.


> to talk about how a digital good has a nominal real cost

So once again, they can't lose imaginary income.


Are physical goods priced solely to cover nominal real costs?

If they are, then you have an argument. If they aren't, then whatever that price is covering other than nominal real costs is being stolen in this case as well.


Is the question "what is a free market"?

The quoted text is identical to what I have received in an email from Disney+. I only tend to get a month at a time when I want to watch a given show, but if paying doesn't remove adverts, I'm not going to pay.

It sucks that Disney+ cancelled Bobba Fett and other great Star Wars series. One month at a time makes sense especially with the lack of new content that I want.

Multimodal doesn't guarantee input and output.

> Currently, we support image, audio and video input.


Seems I'm missing something. Does this model support other inputs?

Image outputs are supported, videos I'm not sure but I don't think that's an output, just a preview of the equirectangular example, so, same question here, what does this model outputs that isn't supported?


Not all architectures are supported by llama.cpp . The GGUF format encodes the NN in a standardized way, but then you need code that can use that NN structure.

I understand that llama.cpp could only output text, last time I checked (I do not know how to find a good source for that though).

See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/src/llama-... , the

  enum llm_arch {
...

I haven't used llama.cpp for image generation either but I recall an issue about it. Unfortunately I can't pinpoint it now and there is the older closed issue https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/4408 so unless mtmd supports also multimodal outputs out of the box safe to assume output is still limited to text.

It's a diffusion model, completely different from autoregressive attention models.

like https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/tree/master/examples/d... ?

At the risk of stating the obvious llama.cpp isn't just about LLaMa as https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/src/llama-... someone else pointed out.


Aha I was wrong. Thanks for sharing that!

no worries, I was wrong too, it is multimodal but only for inputs apparently, so for now there seem to only be text as output but no image as output
