Krazam already has a video covering this exact idea.

On my (admittedly weird) setup, GPT-5.5 Pro times out. The reading is off because the thermistor resistance also depends on applied voltage, not just temperature. LLMs couldn't get this even after feeding them multimeter voltage readin

I'm personally heavily testing LLMs on electrical engineering problems. I'm finding that it's not meaningfully better at figuring out what's up than the other models. To give you an idea - here's a very abridged sum

The dev boards are already up for sale. I'm personally looking forward to the modules being stocked on LCSC, no idea when though.

This is the PCPartPicker chart that I monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/#ram.ddr5.5600.... - $900 for 2x32GB, used to be $200 a year ago.

Just beware that for some people (myself included), it causes stomach issues (quite intense in my case). There are mitigation strategies (slowly build up the dose, use more water, take with food, split up the doses across meals, and conside

I was sort of hoping that they were bootstrapped or at least non-VC funded. I'm wary of them introducing consumer-unfriendly revenue-generating schemes.

Exactly the same thoughts here (I've been looking into FCC part 15 myself too). And IIRC nRF has some pre-cert stuff to avoid going through the full gauntlet. I'm guessing he's using the fact that dev boards are excepted (as

I get my USB-C connectors at around $0.08 at low volumes (LCSC).

I remember Last.fm's value proposition was 1) discovery and 2) community. (1) is (mostly, for most people) covered by "feed" algorithms of Spotify and YouTube. I wonder how they're going to position themselves now.

I'm surprised that Perplexity isn't mentioned in the article or on HN. It has replaced Google for all but the most trivial queries. It runs circles around Google for finding anything niche or underspecified. I use it through OpenR

There is one very clear example that I ran across due to the reasons outlined in the article. If you have a wavelet and you're trying to slide it around to make it fit, that will fail spectacularly. There are lots of problems that boil

Aiming for $350 at launch.

This project doesn't have an online presence yet, just shoot a message to the email in my bio.

If anyone is interested, I'm actually in the process of launching a similar board. Much lower noise (by about 5x, custom AFE), tuned for load cells, 4 simultaneous-sampling channels.

Something that deeply frustrates me, as someone who did R&D on model architectures, is how similar the modern LLM model architectures are to GPT2. (This is a bit disingenuous, as lots/most of work is spent on the scaling and traini

What I'm surprised by is that cars are chock-full of ornate, unique parts (cupholders are a good example). I would have imagined that car infotainment controls would be a small fraction of the BOM, so I've been wondering if it&#x2

I found that having a positive pressure setup with an intake filter practically eliminated the dust buildup on my fans.

Why can't LLMs be conscious for their short 1-million-token input lifetime? (To be clear, I don't think they're conscious, but for different reasons.)

Oh interesting, I've heard of EMerge but haven't given it a try yet. Sounds like it's solid enough to be useful?

I recently had to disable their Chrome extension because it made the browser grind to a halt (spammed mojo IPC messages to the main thread according to a profiler). I wasn't the only one affected, going by the recent extension reviews.

Chunk up your 128D embedding into 16 8D pieces, then quantize using the optimal packing points. Performs worse than k-means in my experience.

by Scene_Cast2 6mo ago
Hasn't this been the case for a while? I vaguely remember using the optimal e8 packing to try to get denser product quantization for vector embeddings.

I've found that having LLMs work with mermaid diagrams makes describing and modifying circuits less annoying.

Out of curiosity, how many tokens are people using? I checked my openrouter activity - I used about 550 million tokens in the last month, 320M with Gemini and 240M with Opus. This cost me $600 in the past 30 days. $200 on Gemini, $400 on Op

by Scene_Cast2 6mo ago
Have you tried the latest (3.1 pro) Gemini? In my experience, it's notably better for a similar type of problems than Opus 4.6. However, I don't really use OpenAI products to compare.

I had the same theory, but IIRC the H2 isn't much better with radio on.

They remind me more of the Korean TV series Cashero. There, the main hero has strength superpowers, but the power comes by crunching through cash in his pocket. But I use the per-token APIs for my usage, not a subscription, so I'm gues

by Scene_Cast2 6mo ago
I also use them per-token (and strongly prefer that due to a lack of lock-in). However, from a game theory perspective, when there's a subscription, the model makers are incentivized to maximize problem solving in the minimum amount of

Same here. Using it on two boxes, makes Linux sysadmin work easier.
