Why isn't there anything on the board on the hype around local models since the beginning of this month? The hardware requirements and costs of running a local model have plummeted. It feels like a paradigm shift. Mixtral is very interesting.

Anybody experimenting with those transformer things? Can you do this:

1. Compute (outside the AI program) long number X made of repeating digit minus some long number Y without consecutive repeats to make long number Z with very few repeating consecutive digits or none.

2. Ask the AI what Z plus Y makes.

2. Proletarians cannot own private intellectual property. If they do, then they become bourgeoisie.

All of my software exists to destroy capital.

Quite literally. That is the true purpose of free software to me.

To eliminate capitalist control over my computing.

And for that matter corporate control of the same.

Thus saith the Preacher:

> If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the “owner” of the program, that controls the program and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.
> Richard M. Stallman

It also literally destroys capital; consider the case of Blender. Whole proprietary software industries have died in its wake, replaced by a world where 3D artists collaboratively contribute to Blender, either with code, or with money to pay for code.

it's not about linux at all. artfags simply won't give away their stuff even if it's made on a mac or windows, unlike programmers who have a culture of sharing code and contributing just because they enjoy programming.
artists will always use copyright to restrict sharing even as they themselves rip off other artists when they make remixes or copy other authors based on industry trends, etc.

Is adding the wine binary to a user with no internet access enough to securely use Windows programs under Linux? It seems using the 
winetricks sandbox
command also removes all links to $HOME.
Is this enough if I want to not worry about running stuff under Wine or should I opt for sandboxing with Firejail, Flatpak+Flatseal, etc?

And if Flatpak packages actually had good sandbox (some of them don't have any sandboxing at all). There is a site that has collected criticism on Flatpak; https://flatkill.org

>>it wants to install its own separate Gnome
yeah, flatpaks are literally hell
just use this instead: https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty
it's made by one of the mods on rutracker who packages a bunch of wine and native games for linux
it bundles EVERYTHING (wine, amd/nvidia drivers, steam, lutris, emulators, obs, legendary, etc) you need to play vidya gaems into a single appimage that requires no root access/install and need no extra dependencies
just create another user, download this appimage and run your games inside that environment

meant package since it's actually a shell script + squashfs inside a .sh file

Thanks, this looks very good. You can also run wine under a separate user with no privileges but this alternative also won't ruin my packages, it seems.
