I think most people underestimate how much of their immune system depends on their sleep. Sleep quality, amount (hours) of sleep, time in bed, all of it -- they matter. In stressful periods, it's likely not stress crushing the immune s

Would anyone still use a desktop-only (no mobile) messenger where you have to run/turn on intentionally (not always-on like most mobile-first messengers nowadays), lists online/offline friends the way AIM/ICQ did, and you can

Yeah, my mentioned times are with faster-whisper, but I have not tried whisper.cpp. I just use a python script to run the model.

I realize I must be in the minority of software engineers/tech circles, I do not keep a "personal knowledge management" base. I do have a personal Notion, but the things I keep in it are like list of restaurants we want to tr

If you're already doing local ffmpeg stuff (i.e. pretty involved with code and scripting already) you're only a couple of steps more away from just downloading the openai-whisper models (or even the faster-whisper models which run

I realized that the smallest background remover ML models (u2netp.onnx) is only 4.5mb and inference can be run in browser JS pretty quickly (a couple seconds), so I built a client-only web app for people to do this quickly without using one

I googled for "image resizer" and every single one of the top results (imageresizer, Adobe, simpleimageresizer, promo.com, etc.) have to upload the image(s) to their server and it does server processing. The upload itself takes a

One of my favorite series from when I was younger. I only ever played the DS ones, not the 3DS ones. That was the 2008-2011 timeframe -- 14-17 years ago!

I think in their case, offline is as in you don't need to set up a pubsub server and the client doesn't have to talk to a server for the specific pubsub functionality, not as in "use this for offline web pages/html files

I like it a lot, and I see from the source you're coding in vanilla js, which is awesome. It's underrated how much of an interactive web app you can build without using any libraries or frameworks nowadays. I actually also really

I do agree with this article; I just think there is a time and place for each type of engineer. There are companies where 10x engineers make sense, and there are companies where normal engineers are better to have. One good example is the C

I feel languages and cultures also gradually change over time and over a couple of decades it can be fairly different when you've been disconnected from it. I was born in Hong Kong and lived there for 13 years, moved to the US and I&#x

The scenario is a task needs to be done. Whether it's for business, personal, whatever. It's a task. It needs to be done somehow. It can be done by a human, or by AI. We are calculating the cost of doing this task. I don't kn

If it takes you 5 minutes to verify the output of the LLM vs 3 hours to do the research work to come to an answer, you saved 2h55m of human time. You would use the 2h55m to do another task. I feel like it is indeed a valid comparison of ene

That is exactly what I am trying to point out; that considering the energy usage of LLM is a level of psychopathy, because that LLM is doing productive work that a human otherwise would.

by godot 2y ago
You would use those couple of hours to work on something else that isn't answering that specific questions, so IMO it is a valid comparison.

The energy usage concern is also funny in that it doesn't try to compare the energy usage of a human doing the same task (if one were to not use LLM to do the task). If we assume it's true that asking ChatGPT a question costs 3 bo

Not OP but many many reasons. If you have the money and you prefer comfort (and/or have kids along) taking a taxi/uber/etc. is much more preferable than dragging several (probably heavy) luggages up and down platforms (elevat

There was a restaurant called Flavor in Half Moon Bay that had probably my favorite burger ever, of all time/places. They shut down a few years ago. I didn't find that one in your SF/SJ listings, probably just out of range!

For companies I think you're right; but a price tag of a few thousand dollars was a strong deterrent for students or hobbyists/learners to get into doing those development. I think the web was great for learners in the 90s/00

I agree with everything you said in theory. In practice, I don't really know that I agree with the grandkids/grandparents point. The implication here is that if housing were abundant and more affordable in the bay area, then both
