World News@lemmy.world•Australians could soon live and work in EU freely, with the same rules applying for EU citizens in Australia, as part of long-awaited trade dealEnglish
7·16 days agoIt already is—it’s been much easier for Australians to move freely round Europe for some time. We have friends with dual uk / au passports, and they always use their au docs when travelling in Europe.
Yes it’s more the image viewer I was referring to not the feed view. I worked a bit with the Arctic developer to get it just how I like it, so I guess I’m a bit biased :) But I’ll write it up and see what others think.
I use GitHub a lot so happy to post there. And I’ll post here re ideas. My biggest ‘miss’ from Arctic was the excellent image handling (from a UX perspective). I think they had that just right and would love to see it work that way on Mlem.

But also you absolutely can learn & build small versions of LLMs on a regular laptop. I did it on my old 2017 Dell XPS, and trained it on the complete works of Shakespeare. It learnt to write almost passable Shakespeare hallucination in a couple of hours. There’s a good tutorial online if you search for it.

6·2 months agoThe fact you haven’t seen it and that it’s so common in LLM output just means there’s a huge amount of the internet you don’t look at. That could be a good or bad thing—depending on your perspective.
