So if I have a 32GB RAM Macbook Pro, and the instructions say this: "Vicuna-13B This conversion command needs around 60 GB of CPU RAM." Does this mean I simply cannot run that model at all? Or will it rip into HD swap or something

I was daydreaming recently after revamping and dialing in my home media server really well (Plex plus all of the *Arr services plus torrents automatically downloading shows and hosting a large movie library)… Shouldn’t it be possible to cre

How long until this is just an automatic bot reply on every HN article post? I’d be happy about it personally.

Interesting, I was just about to setup a Time Machine server on my home media NUC server today (running Ubuntu) to automatically backup all family computers while on the network. Would this be a better option than that? All of our important

I likely won’t ever get around to building this, but I feel strongly a genealogy/family media focused web app would be so useful. Scan and upload old photos, maybe have ai upscale and clean the, up, let your family tag the various old

Every few months I switch from digital notetaking on an iPad, to using notebooks. I think it's rooted in some weird anxiety or something, and I resolve it by saying "fuck it, I'm switching everything". My current routine

A way to “surface reliable information quickly” is to “find relevant web pages quickly”…so is extracting and summarizing info from the internet that matches the query using AI. You quoted the end, and said you instead wanted the means

I would love a wire framing tool that converts crappy sketches (ideally on an iPad with Apple Pencil) into low and high fidelity app mockups, and possibly other things like mind maps. Does his exist anywhere?

Converting that old iPad screen into a normal DisplayPort screen is really cool, could be handy on something like raspberry pi’s or nucs. In the thread linked to about that part, it’s not clear to me if that is an aftermarket part you can b

Something I’ve been pondering lately: with the release of all of these content generating language models lately, what will happen to the “scrape and train” process going forward? Aren’t we about to realize an infinite loop problem basicall

As soon as an article states you can use “product manager” and “project manager” interchangeably, you can immediately assume the author has no idea what they’re talking about. Convenient this article did that early on, saves everyone a lot

A decent rule of thumb I follow: If there's a gem/plugin/package that could do something I want in my product...use it. Don't write the code yourself, unless it actually straight up can't provide the UX or capabilit

Until you’ve hit product market fit, you shouldn’t build anything other than what is unique to your product. If you are spending time on authentication or forms or worker queue architecture, you’re wasting time. Frameworks and plug-ins exis

When using SBERT instead of gpt for this use case, is it paired with some sort of vector database or just all done in code/memory?

I think we are right around the corner from actual AI personal assistants, which is pretty exciting. We have great tooling for speech to text, text to speech, and LLMs with memory for “talking” to the AI. Combining those with both an index

I don’t really know, haven’t measured. Likely less than a normal MacBook Air since the display is gone. Regardless, I live in San Diego and our electricity is already so overpriced that it just doesn’t even register for me anymore anyways.

Yep, just finished doing that actually. A little hacky to get the wifi antenna to sit cleanly on the bottom part of the case, but otherwise worked out perfectly!

“put the most important thing at the top of a list, next important next” you realize you’re basically saying “the trick to prioritizing is you have to prioritize” right? The idea behind all of these systems is to help people figure out what

Given these are AR, when you're using them on an airplane to simulate a big monitor, how does that fit into the constrained physical world you're in where there's a seat two feet in front of your face?

If these can realistically and without eye strain produce a giant virtual monitor when connected to a MacBook Pro, I’ll buy these very quickly. What are you going to use them for?

It’s crazy how far ahead Apple is getting in the laptop game with these new chips. I have the first gen MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro (ok maybe they’re not winning the naming game), and it’s a perfect computer. Battery life is literally all d

Surely someone is building a product for this? Basically Day One but with AI coaching you along. Seems also like if you married GPT-3 with twilio and a scheduler, you could get a text everyday from the AI asking you something, and then you
