mission and vision of Lemmy must be defined
Do you think each niche Lemmy instances should have their own mission and vision, and market themselves accordingly? I’d imagine lemmy.world can represent Lemmy as whole, but something like ani.social speaks more to weebs IMO.

What is the best way for Lemmy to get more users?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 weeks ago:
Why not? Would it enshittify the platform or something?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 weeks ago:
I know a couple; they are very smart.

When we write reviews or share things.
My understanding is that marketeers would have thought their company’s acquisition / retention / etc problems through, then decide on the best approach to deal with the problem.
In some cases, marketeers recognised that having reviews bring the most value to their organisations, and would then create means for end users to “write reviews or share things”.
^This problem-solving is the real marketing work, not us end users spreading the word.

Off-topic, but is there any advice you would give to Lemmy and / or Fediverse?
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 weeks ago:
That makes sense.
- Comment on Where are the marketing volunteers? 2 weeks ago:
Social media is only one marketing channel, no? How does that tie in to marketeers volunteering their time?

Someone with the expertise should correct me if I am wrong; it’s been 4-5 years since I learnt about NPUs during my internship so I am very rusty:
You don’t even need a GPU if all you want to do is to run (i.e. perform inference using) a neural network (abbreviating it to NN). Just a CPU would do if the NN is sufficiently lightweight. The GPU is only needed to speed up the training of NNs.
The thing is, the CPU is a general-purpose processor, so it won’t be able run the NN optimally / as efficiently as possible. Imagine you want to do something that requires the NN and as a result, you can’t do anything else on your phone / laptop (it won’t be problem for desktops with GPUs though).
Where NPU really shines is when there are performance constraints on the model: when it has to be fast, lightweight and memory efficient. Use cases include mobile computing and IoT.
In fact, there’s news about live translation on Apple AirPod. I think this may be the perfect scenario for using NPUs - ideally housed within the earphones directly but if not, within a phone.
Disclaimer: I am only familiar with NPUs in the context of “old-school” convolutional neural networks (boy, tech moves so quickly). I am not familiar with NPUs for transformers - and LLMs by extension - but I won’t be surprised if NPUs have been adapted to work with them.

I’m pretty sure most video games require AI already. I have difficulty naming even one that doesn’t use AI.
Neural nets, on the other hand - I find it hard to imagine one running locally without impacting performance.

- Singaporean Bridge - It’s basically a crossover of Bridge and Werewolf / Polar Bear / Among Us. That small change of not knowing who your partner is makes for games that are way more fun.
- Pokemon Soulsilver - I love the following mechanic. The other features of the game are really great too.
- Raze 2 - I have seen others describe it as the “Halo of flash games”
