It tells you if the post / comment was written by a LLM.

Please use sparingly, it puts a lot of load on the server.

Yes, the votes table is absolutely massive (10s of GB) so even with perfect indexes, queries & joins on it are slow enough to become a problem if you are doing many things. For example when listing a page of posts in a community when there are 70 posts per page that’d mean lots of interaction with the votes table, that I’d rather avoid.

Instead, we get the last 3000 votes the viewer cast (a single DB query, or less if it’s in redis already, which is another layer of cache) and hold that in memory. While creating the list of posts a “viewer has voted for this” flag is set if the post id is in the list of votes from earlier. The list of votes is sorted so an efficient binary search can be done.

That’s just one part of it, there are about 3 or 4 other similar optimizations where front-loading some data drastically reduces the work involved in getting a lot of posts at once. I’ve put days into speeding up the ‘get a list of posts’ API endpoint and it’s become acceptable but still not great.

The next version of the API is going to be a lot slimmer both in the responses it generates and the CPU work involved in making them. At present we are trying to produce API responses that are very close to what Lemmy provides and that brings a lot of baggage.

How many votes do you think you do per day? Is it about 100?

edit: I looked at your profile more closely - yes, you DO vote a lot. That would explain it - the cache of recent votes, which the API uses, was too small for your volume. I’ve increased it by 10x, that should do.

Chernobyl did get solved tho, at great personal sacrifice by some very brave people.

Or tabs, ‘Cloud’ and ‘List’, similar to how user profiles have ‘Overview’, ‘Posts’ and ‘Comments’?

That’s ironic, because this post was written by a LLM. The edits are human but the bulk of the initial post is LLM text.

Lemmy fixes this in v1.0.

Like what peertube has?

It’ll be back to normal soon :)

Finally, @jerry@feddit.online it happened to me too! The mysterious disappearing logo!

Well, kinda. To be more specific, he’s mostly betting that Palantir is overvalued, which it probably is. Peter Thiel is a nut case.

I think they were planning to sell anyway and the chalking happened during the selling process so they thought they could drum up some outrage from it.

I’m still running v2023.1 because that’s the last version before they stuffed so much AI into it that my CPU screams constantly while running it. The writing is on the wall with those guys.

Crushing it!

There’s a mental image I could do without.

It was pretty bizarre how it was published in such a way that it seemed to come from w3c socialcg when really it was just Emelia.

Despite being an activitypub dev I have not seen any of the supposed “heated discussions” probably because I don’t spend time on Mastodon trying to boost ATProto. It doesn’t seem like a widespread problem to me.

Veerry interesting, yes…

Consider using Zram to compress half your ram. That will make your 2 GB into 3 GB, kinda. Do not compress all of it, performance will suffer greatly.

Also, web browser choice is going to be crucial when it comes time to actually use the computer for anything. Try Konqueror, Falkon, Palemoon etc.

Yes, I agree. Will sort it out.

Steve Bannon, lol
