    i learned just a bit of french, so when I travel to the OuiOui lands, I can deliberately refuse to speak It instead of not being able to

      BTW, you only see the contemptuous french behavior close to Paris, because for some fucking reason every single American visiting France only goes to Paris. Since all the American karens are concentrated in Paris, the people in the suburbs are much nicer.

        Having been to Paris myself not too long ago, their rudeness is far overhyped. They were actually quite pleasant to us for the most part, only a handful of interactions that I would consider rude, mostly from street scammers. Maybe I just got lucky or missed some social cues, but I’m not sure where this idea of the openly contemptuous average Parisian comes from.

          Parisians look down to the rest of France, they even have a word to describe any area of France that isn’t Paris: “la province”, they use it all the time and any one else is annoyed by this word because it sounds really insulting.

        true. it kinda sucks seeing people argue against ai when they don’t understand it. like, there’s many things to criticize about ai, I’m not saying they’d like ai if they knew more about it. I just wish their hatred was more educated.

          Idk, wrt Lora specifically. I agree in general it’d be good if haters of anything were more educated in that thing, but they probably don’t need to be that educated, especially in niche topics.

          I’d consider myself an AI hater.
          My job is also building ai-assisted tools.
          But also I don’t need to understand how the AI works to understand it’s use, beyond a bit of prompt engineering.

          Don’t ask about my job satisfaction 😭

        I’m talking about LoRA, not LoRa. I’m a fan of both though. I’ve been considering getting a Lilygo T-Echo to run Meshtastic for a while. Maybe build a solar powered RC plane and put a Meshtastic repeater in there, seems like a cool project.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-tuning_(deep_learning) Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is an adapter-based technique for efficiently fine-tuning models. The basic idea is to design a low-rank matrix that is then added to the original matrix.[13] An adapter, in this context, is a collection of low-rank matrices which, when added to a base model, produces a fine-tuned model. It allows for performance that approaches full-model fine-tuning with less space requirement. A language model with billions of parameters may be LoRA fine-tuned with only several millions of parameters.
