SGI was a pretty small 3D workstation company at the bottom of the S&P500, even at it's peak. Microsoft was at least a hundred times as big as SGI. (And Nvidia was even smaller, selling GPUs for both SGI worthstations and Windows P

Haha, I read the headline and my brain went "I bet it's a Energy Monitoring Smart Plug on Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi". Honestly a simple automation with device trigger: smartplug "power changes" with below: X

All the big LLM APIs work via similar HTTP Requests - you can do them with curl, python, Tasker, Apple Shortcuts, anything that can do a HTTP POST. Start from a playground/workbench page like https://console.groq.com/pl

AI doesn't suck any more than a socket wrench sucks in the hand of a bad mechanic. But ask a world class mechanic if they'd ever give up their socket wrench. Some businesses just aren't competent at taking advantage of new th

Sounds like a UIUX problem. Sign makers get about half a second to convince a rushed person to pause, between the moment the sign enters their field of view and the moment they're already through the door. If the sign is anything more

Banks keep all sorts of metrics on customers, to approve or deny transactions. If someone types their password into bank .ru/phishy.php and never changes their password afterward, that's useful information. If they then try to buy

I don't think they open sourced it. Thinking back, most AI breakthrough papers I've read don't include source code unfortunately. Researchers want their names out there explaining what they did and that they did it first, but

Mac updates made me think I had malware too. It randomly pops up a box that says System Update needs your administrator password. Completely unprompted, zero context. Sketchy as hell looking. Happens every time MacOS downloads an automatic

That's more annoying than the consequence, so I won't do it. I am not so poor and unskilled that a $79.99 macbook battery swap in a 10 years is worse than the daily annoyance of thinking about a plug every hour of my life. But tha

There have been a lot of "mass-hysteria" events in history, but we never seem to develop good strategies to detect it, other than years later historians saying "we never really found a shred of evidence…"

The thing about ML models is the penalty is a function of parameters and precision. It sounds like the researchers cranked them to max to try to get the very best compression. Maybe later they will take that same model, and flatten layers a
