2 days agoI don’t believe I said anything of the sort.
I said legality is a distinction without merit. It is a completely irrelevant element unless you are discussing the morality of a law.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
even if you are promoting someone else’s project/app.
To correct you on this - ifyou are linking someone else’s project/app, it would be entirely impossible to require a disclosure. A tag is a nice-to-have depending on how visible those elements are, but the paid/30 day account age for f/loss would still apply.
I suspect I’ll need to clean up the language some if this is the takeaway.
What is legal is not always right, and what is right is not always legal - paraphrased from Algernon Sidley, late 1600s.
Full Quote
That which is not just, is not Law; and that which is not Law, ought not to be obeyed.
… the directive power of the law, which is certain, and grounded upon the inherent good and rectitude that is in it, is that alone which has a power over the conscience, whereas the coercive is merely contingent; and the most just powers commanding the most just things, have so often fallen under the violence of the most unjust men, commanding the most execrable villainies, that if they were therefore to be obeyed, the consciences of men must be regulated by the success of a battle or conspiracy, than which nothing can be affirmed more impious and absurd….
If this were so, the governments of the world might be justly called magna latrocinia; and men laying aside all considerations of reason or justice, ought only to follow those who can inflict the greatest punishments, or give the greatest rewards. But since the reception of such opinions would be the extirpation of all that can be called good, we must look for another rule of our obedience, and shall find that to be the law, which being, as I said before, sanctio recta, must be founded upon that eternal principle of reason and truth, from whence the rule of justice which is sacred and pure ought to be deduced, and not from the depraved will of man, which fluctuating according to the different interests, humors and passions that at several times reign in several nations, one day abrogates what had been enacted the other. The sanction therefore that deserves the name of a law, which derives not its excellency from antiquity, or from the dignity of the legislators, but from an intrinsick equity and justice, ought to be made in pursuance of that universal reason to which all nations at all times owe an equal veneration and obedience.
A few examples for you (aside from the blatantly obvious and well known like slavery)
- Jim Crow Laws
- The Bloody Code (1700s England)
- French salt tax
- Vagrancy laws (still exist, and are nowhere near right)
- Anti-LGBTQ laws - some are historic, some are current
- Magdalene Laundries
- the Combination Acts
- Forced Assimilation laws
- Window Tax
- Debt Slavery
- Three Strike laws
- Civil asset forfeiture
- Joint Enterprise laws
- Extended detention without charge
- Public protest bans
- Tied visa systems
- Sub-minimum wage exemptions
The list goes on and on and on. Many of which are still legal today, or have been reworked for the same effect and are in effect today.
Being “legal” or “illegal” is a distinction without merit.
4·7 days agoAside from “local model”, you might see things like whisper.cpp, llama.cpp, ollama, or “OpenAI compatible endpoint”, or a reference to getting models from HuggingFace (you can think of it like github for llm’s - its more and less, but accurate enough for what we’re talking about here).
whisper.cpp is a c++ implementation of whisper (ASR as mentioned), llama.cpp is a high performance and lightweight tool to support llm/llm inference, ollama is a very user friendly way to do the same, and OpenAI compatible endpoint is just using the protocol for communication, so you can point the client at llama.cpp or similar running on the same machine or another you have access to.
Most things with an extemely tight purpose like this (like listening for some birds singing) will use much leaner models, and may be able to run even from a phone.
Audio processing by ai can absolutely happen on a pi.
As an example, whisper.cpp is a high performance speech recognition model, and it does a great job. The biggest version of it as a model requires less than 5GB to live fully in memory, the large model at about 1.5billion parameters, and it works great even CPU only.
The one used most often is small, which has about 244million parameters, and needs about a gig of ram and nothing more.
For a pi 5, usually the base or tiny model are used. Small could be used in most scenarios, but tiny and base are able to run real-time.
So it depends for how local - sometimes its all self contained and can do just fine on a pi, sometimes its local in that it needs an LLM endpoint to hit, but that can be running on another system entirely.
It would really depend on the project for how/where/why for a definition of local.
A quick general awareness comment:
A post about a project not by the original creator is not a promo post. A user will not necessarily know the details to provide a disclosure unless a project explicitly has on in their repo.
Requiring it on a project post like this (“Here’s a cool thing I found!”) is not doable.
That said, its clearly an AI project start to finish - the detection wouldn’t really work without it. So I think [AIT] is appropriate here.
@chaospatterns@lemmy.world can you please add the [AIT] tag?
Edit: Thanks!
Thanks, please update the title with [AIP] as well, so people can filter.
Feedback or questions is appropriate. We don’t need to come in abrasive, and you didn’t need chatgpt to ask a followup, so we don’t need to be antagonistic.
Choosy self-hosters choose Debian.
That said, I don’t recommend hosting software at the bare metal level - use VMs or containers. Far easier to manage and isolate.
Please update your post with the appropriate tag [CBH] or [AIT], and if applicable, the AI disclosure. See rules 7&8.
I’m going to go ahead and try to use this comment as a teachable moment.
For one, this comment barely skirts the line to me as acceptable. If you aren’t interested in AI topics, thats what the [AIT] and [AIP] tags are for - for you, as a user, to choose what you are interested in and what you are not.
The first part of your comment, by itself, I would have simply removed. You asked for alternatives, and are being rightfully replied to pointing out that this is all under the subject of automation, which (to me) barely puts this above low effort.
If you don’t want to see AI discussions in the future, use the tags to filter. If I see more comments like this that are barely, and entirely subjectively just above low-effort, the bar is going to raise just a hair and they will be removed, as they will come across like trying to skirt the rules.
The hard part is making sure your email server works with others.
Standing up an email server that is otherwise inactive aside from login? Perfectly easy, no send involved.
My suggestion would be to stand up a mail server (that doesn’t really do anything) and bring your mail over there. Then add the account on your phone, and you’ve got email now searchable like any other.
Thus the need for rules 7/8…
Awesome! Going on the list!
Edit: Thanks!
@fabio@lemmy.manganiello.tech As this is your software, please update with the appropriate tag ( [CBH] or [AIP] ), and if [AIP], disclose as per rule 8. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Just report please. There is an influx of spam from lemmy.1095.me, which I’ve already shared to the lemmy.world team.
TCL Flip.
Its also like $100
@rimu@piefed.social given the new post tag requirements, please edit your title to include [AIT].
Edit: Since its been a few hours and I can see that you’re active, I’m going to go ahead and just lock this for now.
Edit 2: OK then, first removal under rule 8.
No worries, just clarifying, which I’ll need to add into the rules as well somehow…
