  • While I don’t agree with OP’s view that the world as a whole is anti-intellectual, I also wouldn’t assume that these people don’t exist at all. I’ve personally had interactions with people who thought less of me or others for having a higher level of education, and (at least overtly) not in the sense that they were jealous. It was more of a general antipathy against people who know things / enjoy to learn, because they saw them as arrogant etc.

    But this is probably more an example of tribalism.












  • This will differ greatly from instance to instance. The people running lemmy.world have published some info on their infrastructure. My instance is running on a rather small VPS with 100GB storage, but I will have to rethink my solution rather soon as images and videos from my subbed communities [Edit: which are stored on outside sites] are eating around a gigabyte per day and I think this is likely to increase.

    Edit: I want to clarify that I was partially wrong - Lemmy only locally caches content which is hosted on outside sites (e.g. imgur). It does not cache content that was directly uploaded to another Lemmy instance and just embeds the source media.



  • Note that when using llama-derived models, such as vicuna, you are bound by their license to only use them for “research” purposes.

    If you want an unrestricted version, go for open-llama or RedPajama.

    Falcon is less restrictive and only wants a cut of profits if they exceed 1 million dollars, but I’d wager that fully unrestricted is the way to go.
