ComicsLol !science_memes@mander.xyz material
OpensourceI mean. It’s not the worst idea lmfao
Closed source < AI gen’d Open Source < Open Source
It’s true! Now it was “just” an 8-slotter Asus G3 and not one of those 24+ slotter monsters, but still!
Game DevelopmentJapanese companies have a habit of getting bored and just delving into random ass industries LMAO
Lmao it’s par for the course for open directories, plenty of them in the past I’ve accessed with just bare IP addresses XD
I find actual classic country to just be boring, but not boring with a beat enough for work music like Classical music.
The modern country stuff I loathe for just like you said, being Republicunt siren songs lol
Sadness :(
moviesFr, I feel like it’s gotten really bad like for every original movie there’s like 8 shitty remakes, reboots or “live adaptations” sad lol
I don’t cross post from any other instances except .ml
::: spoiler Why am I cross-posting .ml content? >
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
“Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::

When it comes to old drives, you may very well only get one good read out of it before its gone for good. (Or at least solidly in a very pricey data recovery service territory)
If you have the means to do so, consider a data recovery service first and foremost if you can’t afford it or don’t want to proceed on
So the first thing you want to do is make a byte-by-byte raw image of the drive(s) with a tool like this https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/
BUT you will need a destination drive that’s at least the same size as your source. So if your old drive is 500GB you’ll need a destination that has 500GB free or more. Id personally go a tad bigger because ya never know and remember this might be the last time you get a good read
Second it sounds like you did plug it into android and it tried adding in it’s default folders, but 1) it probably picked up the 500MB or so tiny boot partition windows makes 2) it only adds folders, it doesn’t wipe partitions.
So in both your data is probably fine BUT
It does sound like your drive isnt particularly healthy, so until you’re ready to make that image keep it offline and disconnected
Once you have the image, you do all your work from there and keep your source drive safe until you’re 100% you don’t need it anymore

TurboQuant compresses LLM key-value caches down to 3 bits per value. 6× memory reduction, up to 8× faster attention, and no 0 degradation. (research.google)
TurboQuant looks like a pretty massive deal for running local models efficiently. The core issue they are tackling is the memory bottleneck caused by the key value cache during generation. When you are doing long context inference storing all those high dimensional vectors eats up VRAM extremely fast. Traditional vector quantization helps but usually introduces memory overhead because you have to store scaling factors or constants in full precision for every small block of data. That overhead can easily add an extra bit or two per parameter which ruins the compression targets people are aiming for.
