Off topic, but it's kinda cool to know younger folks are on the Feddiverse! Thought lemmy was just a bunch of old people like me haha

I recall a study where they trained 100 pigeons to categories categorize cancer in tissue samples and the average of all their responses was better than a single oncologist.

I'm probably not going to consult a flock of pigeons though for important things anytime soon though

One fun element is the double lift card trick reveal.

Like get their card ontop somehow and the descretly lift the top 2 cards up, pretending they are just a single card. Then you show them the 2nd to top card and ask is this your card? They will say no, you put the two cards on the top of the deck, do a magic tap or something, and then you only lift the top card, their card off the top of the deck after it transforms into theirs

I think I used to do a similar one, but with memorizing the top card of the deck and having them cut the deck! Lots of variations too and presentation is everything

I donate $5 quarterly to Wikipedia. It's not much but I figure every bit helps

I actually support this as long as the false positives are not too bad

Just as long as it is local AI and optional. If I'm gonna have to connect my Ubuntu devices to some datacenter just for slop I didn't ask for, I'm switching again

It probably uses Retrieval Augmented Generation, which can still hallucinate, but usually does a better job for niche questions and it can even provide a source sometimes depending on how you set it up

We will be the stuff

Not necessarily. If it answers you question and go go about your day, that's not as good for Microsoft user numbers/engagement.

They probably want it to just barely get you exactly what you need to keep you on the edge. Once they start training models for user engagement the enshitification will begin

One of my first self hosting projects was a jellyfin server. Double check, but I think the main hardware requirements are just 4GB of RAM and enough harddrive space for your videos/files!

I really like immich too. It's like Google photos, but self hosted. It's super fast for uploading and backing up your photos over your local network. Immich also needs at least 4GB of RAM I think

I don't know why isn't it just the parents responsibility. For example where I live, you can get charged with "negligent storage of a firearm". Why can't there just be a "negligent allowing your kid to do whatever they want with no DNS filtering" offense

Seriously, who is still using Chrome in 2026?

astronaut.io

It's a website that randomly plays YouTube videos with no YouTube view (so in theory you are the first viewer)

I also recommend gemma4 or qwen3.5. Both super solid in my experience for how lightweight they are

This! There are plenty of decent search engine alternatives. Keep using the alternatives and yapping about them to other people

I mean, can anything exist entirely on its own?

I hate when they just start talking about AI in giga watts. MAKE. AI. MORE. ENERGY. EFFICIENT.

Age verification as in check a box that days you're over 18? Or like upload a photo or ID?

60 is such a nice highly composite number though!
