Agreed, and even SSR always felt like cheating imo. I wanna see someone build a primary radar on an esp 32.

My read is that they're announcing a plan to build non-folding wings to test the geometry they would eventually want with folding wings. Which makes sense but isn't very exciting.

It might be that a lot of the cost doesn't show up in the data because it comes out of your paycheck before it's "yours," in the form of your employer's contribution to health insurance premiums. (Anecdotally this

Parakeet is way faster (on Nvidia hardware) but not quite as accurate in my experience.

There was a fad a while back of building insanely long prompts - tens of thousands of tokens - including having models write prompts for themselves. I always thought it was counterproductive, especially if you're going to use the prom

I think they're saying that you should build a small business which nets you 85k, not find an employer that underpays you. (Whether this makes you more resistant to being "fired" is still up for debate of course.)

It goes up - quite a lot - if you take promotions. But, back in the day FIRE used to mean something beyond just being rich - there was an anti-consumerist bent (and expectation that you'd move away from your expensive city/former

Only if you seek them out (ski resorts and such). I've lived in both of the most expensive major inland cities (Chicago and Denver) and $85k is plenty in both, even for a small family.

A 7900 XTX is about $850, and the rest of the computer basically just needs to boot Linux. You could easily build such a machine for $1500. Even that isn't strictly necessary - you can get perfectly acceptable performance by splitting

I would definitely not recommend WordPress. If you just want a website for cheap: Bearblog, carrd.co, etc. if you want all the bells and whistles on a platter: Squarespace, Wix, etc. if you want to supply all the HTML/CSS yourself: Git

Interesting that many of them lead with clams or oysters. (Perhaps this is still a thing at high-end restaurants, but to have them listed so frequently and prominently is completely foreign to me.)

Proof of what is possible with stripped down/optimized software. Imagine the battery life if they built one of these around something with better sleep power (e.g. an nrf52).

Ha, developers know perfectly well how to choose models - they know that the company is footing the bill and Opus will give them the best result and/or require the least clean-up work. (We've received similar guidance. Even better

Only Florida, Maryland, and New York require adults who are new drivers to take any kind of class/instruction. (Most states require it under 18, with a few under 21 or 25.) Everywhere else you can just walk in and take the test. The

Yes you can connect keyboard and mouse; Overwatch ( https://www.protondb.com/app/2357570 ) and WoW ( https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iI... ) should both work well, as do the v

I like that it involves grinding up the tick. Just deserts.

No. I feel the same way, and have started moving to only do hardware-focused side projects. (I would say this works out nicely because I had several ideas on standby, but their cost has gone up 3-4x due to current memory and storage price

At some point in late 2017 the paper was updated with this additional detail: Equal contribution. Listing order is random. Jakob proposed replacing RNNs with self-attention and started the effort to evaluate this idea. Ashish, with Il

The benefit of running the full precision version is negligible (probably not even measurable above the benchmark noise floor). Most common for cost-conscious users is to run something around 4-6 bits per weight, which would fit on a 24 or

There is no "coder" version of Qwen 3.6; I think they just mean it's a coding-focused model of similar size and performance (to Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B). Regular Qwen 3.6 benchmarks slightly better and has much wider software suppor

The allegation here is that it's not actually a fine-tune of Qwen, but instead an undisclosed mashup (merge) of someone else's fine-tune of Qwen and the original model. Rio subsequently said that the model was in fact a merge, th

There are also significant economies of scale (namely: utilization and batching), which tend to make inference on a shared server more economical even after the operator takes a cut.

You can bounce the ball up slightly (presumably the spin from rolling is modeled or approximated, and gives lift when hitting a bumper), which might be enough to skip from the tee to near the end of the course. Not sure that should be consi

Opus 4.7 and 4.8 are also rather "proactive" - several times I've seen them try to inspect compiled binaries before there's even a problem, just to check that their changes are included (and if I let them do so they ofte

I admit I snorted when that was mentioned. It's frequently ranked as the most desirable place to live on earth. Not to say the message of the article is completely without merit - there are things to see and do almost everywhere. But

Unfortunately Radxa and Milk-V are almost completely out of stock and not much cheaper. If you need more than a microcontroller there's no circumventing the memory shortage at this point. Kicking myself for not buying the Q6A at the b

In the US, 99th percentile household wealth is ~$14M, which at historical rates of return is enough to live opulently indefinitely . (Of course although we're discussing a scenario where capital holds most of the cards, who knows if t

The "library" UI has also gotten radically worse over time (in my family there is a 3G, an early Paperwhite, and a relatively recent base model, and each has a worse and sparser UI than the last). The pages turn faster though, du
