You can get a SFFPC with 7th Gen i5 for like $40. Apart from low power cost and form factor (and I guess gpio), you would probably just get the SFFPC

I mean, I get it. But I don't think they do anything that "phone in hand discreetly tilted near chest/stomach" doesn't do. If anything this has a recording light, and I can use both my hands :P Essentially a miniatu

We'll get there. For me, this is seriously impressive, and I already use LLMs everyday - but a serious "Now we're talkin" moment would be when I'd be able to stand outside of Lowes, and talk to my glasses/earbu

That's a fair point lol, my bad.

Problem is that by that time there would be open source models (the ones that already exist are getting good) that I can run locally. I honestly don't need _THAT_ much.

Wonderful. I don't need them to. It works for what I need it to do.

They're my kids and pets. Problem is that they are not 'don't take my photos' but rather 'oh look what are you holding I am going to focus on that.'

Speak for yourself, my workflow and live has been significantly improved with these things. Having easier access to information that I sorta know but want to verify/clarify rather than going into forums/SO is extremely handy. Not

I'd hard disagree. I use the Metas all the time and they're incredibly useful, especially to ask quick questions re:plants or what not and then taking impromptu photos of kids and pets etc that are camera shy.

lol that makes sense, thanks.

I actually have no idea what you mean. can you clarify pls?

by lannisterstark 2y ago
As dour as it sounds, I am in a similar boat. Who'd have thought that not needlessly getting called names when you ask a question (even if it's dumb -as that's how you learn) makes people less likely to interact with you. wh

>As a developer, if you offer me StackOverflow vs ChatGPT, I'd take StackOverflow any day of the week 100x over. Really? Hm, I wouldn't. I can use nuance and clarify my answers and have a respectable back and forth (GPT-4 doesn

by lannisterstark 2y ago
Yes it does. If I am belittled instead of people asking clarifying questions so I can learn, I'm much less likely to think better of said people or platform, or use it.

by lannisterstark 2y ago
For some reason , but a lot of of the answers here seem to care more about "but tell em /I/ solved it" re: attribution rather than helping the user. Somewhat egoist or some such? ( and I don't mean it as an aggressi

You might not want to hear this but no one does this. Should they? probably. But most people don't use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in the first place for SO answers.

3 days later - I sub to Aqua, it's an astonishingly good product. I wish I could insert this on any textbox I wanted to though. Also I wish for an app. Pls aqua people. Keeping my phone's screen on while I transcribe sucks.

Honestly? it's fine. Every culture does it differently and they all focus in x for lack of y. South Asian cultures for example treat their universities as job training centers (and generally tend to lack liberal arts and social educati

Accidentally? My calibre-web is actually exposed online :P It doesn't list any books that I have publicly though. All you'll see is a login prompt. Books? what books? You can't DMCA me because I only have gutenberg collection

I don't think they can do that with my calibre, and calibre-web collection lol.

I sincerely hope one day they get off their asses and implement casting that their predecessor, overdrive, had. speaking of, btw, your library likely has 'partner' libraries where you can borrow stuff too using overdrive/libb

Tbf, I am less worried about CS (I already do a lot of technology stuff to solve my IRL problems, not necessarily coding related either - media servers and such), but more about other sciences. Reading Asimov's essays and a Brief histo
