I think you are missing the point. To get things straight: llama.cpp is not hard to setup and get running. It was a bit of a hassle in 2023 but even then it was not catastrophically complicated if you were willing to read the errors you wer

Nothing surprising. We are deep into the age of griefter economy - make a cringey video - making a scene - whether it's an argument between people or "owning someone", get people roiled up against each other, start selling me

The question is, however, is it really "open" if it refuses to address well known and documented facts? And facts that it was clearly exposed to. Doesn't scream "openness" if you ask me. It's not like it's

I love how people love throwing the word "left" as it means anything. Need I remind you how many times bots were caught on twitter using chatgpt praising putin? Sure, go ahead and call it left if it makes you feel better but I sti

So long as you don't ask it about tiananmen square 1989. Or Tibet. Or Taiwan. Or the Xinjiang internment camps. Just a few off the top of my head but thousands of others if you decide to dive deep. You get a shrug at best. Which does b

I have to disagree here. AI tools are great and work great. Until they do not. The speed with which they spit out a result gives a great sense of confidence and you may overlook an edge case which they do not cover. And it's not a ques

Well yeah... But overall numbers in French are a bit... Weird... By the time you are a teenager, you have the math skills of someone with a PhD in Calculus just to be able to say how old you are. No wonder some of the best mathematicians in

I speak Spanish, but it's a different story there: "dos doses, zero treses y un cinco". Numbers can have plurals, which from what I understand is not the case in Italian. Weird cause the languages are very similar in general

I am not sure that it's a function of English language per se. I speak several language and it's the same story with all of them and one of those languages is Slavic so it comes from a very different root. That said, Greece is a r

Bambu lab printers are truly awesome in terms of what they can do for a very reasonable price. Having said that, I have never upgraded mine nor have I ever connected it to the internet and never will. Nor will I update it. If it takes me 15

I think there are two aspects to this: * The software: different open source solutions have very different requirements at a high level: language, platform or even system requirements. Say you want to take messaging off centralized platfor

Our age gap is less then 10 years but here's my two cents: laziness/convenience. Back in the 90's and 2000's, you had to be ready to spend a lot of time fiddling with setups and maintenance as well as some MAJOR early da

Seems I spoke too soon about the US taking a good decision for once when it comes to cyber and civil security. Well... I wonder what muskov will come up with now that twitter is still at large inaccessible in China but tiktok is welcome in

Historically the US has been always behind the curve when it comes to personal online privacy and security threats compared to Europe(and it's not like we are doing a good job at all, Europe is pretty shit as well), but here, today, I

Yes, how did I not think of throwing more money at cloud providers on top of feeding open ai, when I could have just code a simple binary classifier and run everything on something as insignificant as an 8-th geh, quad core i5....

Ok, let me dumb it down for you: you have a cockroach in your bathroom and you want to kill it. You have an RPG and you have a slipper. Are you gonna use the RPG or are you going to use the slipper? Even if your bathroom is fine after getti

FFS... "Lots of writers, few readers". Read again and do the math: 2 seconds, multiply that by 10 million records which contain this, as well as "alarm installation in two locations" and a whole bunch of other crap with

Yeah... Let's talk time needed for 10M prompts and how that fits into a daily pipeline. Enlighten us, please.

No, it has not and will not in the foreseeable future. This is one of my responsibilities at work. LLMs are not feasible when you have a dataset of 10 million items that you need to classify relatively fast and at a reasonable cost. LLMs ar

That IS the second system (my AI home rig). I've given up on Nvidia for using it on my main computer because of their horrid drivers. I switched to Intel ARC about a month ago and I love it. The only downside is that I have a xeon on m

To be honest it is still a problem till this day in some areas. A few years back I was making a gift which involved a ton of electronics and embedded hardware. One of the components I had laying around was a real time clock which refused to

I'm really glad to see Geerling branching out of his initial niche coverage on everything-raspberry-pi(which I personally find a bit boring 95% of the time).

Most likely an effort to boost the DAU numbers. I quit facebook over a decade ago because I truly felt that it was pointless. At the time I was convincing myself that it's a way to stay in touch with a certain number of people I would

Given that Denmark gave Ukraine F-16s and didn't bat an eyelash, I'd be all for it. I would be pretty happy if they hand out 2-3 fully loaded B-2's and be like "hey guys, go nuts with them".

Delivery success rate is pretty much a random number generator here. Sometimes stuff arrives on time, sometimes it shows up 6 months late, sometimes never. For me it's either the physical store, amazon or mouser.

I think the one thing no one really mentions is the fact that drones are extremely easy to build in the comfort of your living room. If you have a 3d printer, some spare parts laying around and a cheap electronics store around the corner(ch
