Haha, dude, the stuff we used to do when we were young. Transparent conky on the desktop showing a bunch of graphs that drive their own selves up. Spinning cubes to get workspaces. Loved it. And ran it on absolutely garbage hardware too. It

Does anyone have any experience with Mandarin STT? What's a good model for this? The use-case I have is subtitling of Mandarin speech.

Right, that's what I'd lean to as well. But was the reason they left the legal tradition? In this telling of the story, they were fully aware of the legal tradition being the reason for their unhappiness. But is it true? I know

Eurostar Snap used to be cheap as balls. 19 quid. Though going there it seems that it's no longer available https://snap.eurostar.com/uk-en What a pity. Lots of fun weekends in Paris on that when I was younger.

They really didn't have a chance. Technology had moved past them. The capacitive touch screen, multi-touch, fast mobile processors and the move to the web meant that mobile phones were becoming platforms. And Nokia wasn't a platfo

I wonder what the difference in legal traditions is between the US and the Old World. The latter have a lot of "Yes, you're technically in trouble under the guidelines the enforcement authority rules using but they're going t

I just use kubernetes with a single PVC for the Claude folders. Works like a charm. Don’t need too much else. You can then start separate pods with different PVCs to different folders. Lives on a server, I can manage the auth by just making

It’s an English language idiom that always trips me up. Here’s another example: https://englishidiomsblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/tell-us-how-y... The idiom is someone says “tell us how you really feel” (which he’s r

I had to create a killfile list to block other users’ comments on the site that were repetitive. Likely we will simply have to create for ourselves such killfile lists for domains (sites, I suppose) and users who post them that are primaril

It can’t be helped. Roads are not only locally funded and the only thing allowing residents to free-ride on everyone else’s contribution to this commons is the information asymmetry. It’s similar to the fact that San Franciscans and Atherto

That doesn’t seem right. The time required to maintain software is less than before. Don’t know about tokens. I suppose they were zero previously and are non-zero now but this does not seem to be a conservation law because as models get bet

Good work by them. An incredibly clean use of power with strong revenue. As industries go, this is a pretty good use of land and energy.

I’ve got a pair of those cards and DS V4F is incredibly good. I’m happy I did what I did because I like this stuff but if you just want stuff then you are absolutely better off not spending $20k on two of these cards and using the API. This

I have just re-analysed most common failed tool-calls and adjusted the tool so that it works. I have a manual repair step on failure that programmatically attempts to fix some things. On failure, the harness reports the error, the repaired

I'm surprised most of that isn't cached token usage. It's true that increasing length is a problem on its own because the model needs to attend to it all, but with caching it should be pretty fast anyway. My system prompt is

In the old world, this was because keeping in sync with upstream was hard. In the new world, it takes an hour. And because you're the only user, you can test in prod. Makes the whole thing faster. I have lots of forked and family-only

It's a trivial task and certainly does not require attending an early morning class. In fact, most engineering does not require the degree. Almost everything in the field is self-learnable in a short period. The reason the students are

There are many programs that exploit credentialism to funnel public money into highly endowed universities. People leave with Bachelors degrees, Masters degrees, and even PhDs in fields that have no purpose but to serve the student as a cro

It’s just a different form of outrage porn. Attractive to a kind of conservative blue-tribe member. A single argument shape applied to various targets. It’s style-transfer into a field. No different from popular movie or TV tropes is a maga

Impressive photographs, especially the ones on the ground. It is no wonder that they capitulated soon after the second one. The statistical reality of the war must have been frightening but the visual impact must have been overwhelming. To

What a pity. Mostly I just want personal archives of things so that I can search them much faster than commercial solutions and the like.

You’re right. The cost of the service not matching the direct cost is something we’re familiar with - that’s just fixed cost and entirely normal (happens with books, movies, etc). This just happens to be the case where you must transport pe
