In the past I had parakeets and lovebirds. I think the app is great, but my first (joking) reaction was "Now let's setup a control group by putting the tablet in selfie-mode to simulate a mirror".

I look forward to watching my future grandchildren install a minecraft mod that dematerializes them and let's them play inside minecraft. Then I'll start ranting about Tron and they'll just shake their heads about Grandpa an

Yes, very handy even for non-smokers. We have a 2015 vehicle that we bought used that came with a cigarette lighter. I removed it and put it in the glove box.

Under "Key scenarios" they include "SETI@home output recorder". Ouch.

Agreed, it narrowly fits on RTX 4090. Yesterday I rented an RTX 4090 on vast.ai and setup Mistral-Nemo-2407. I got it to work, but just barely. I can run mistral-chat, get the prompt, and it will start generating a response to the prompt af

Yes. And I was told by multiple nurses at St. Thomas Midtown that the hospital did not have manual procedures already in place. In their press release they refer to their hospitals as "ministries" [0], so apparently they practice

Welp, my data point of one shows you need more than 8 GB of vRam. When I run mistral-chat with Nemo-Instruct it crashes in 5 seconds with the error: "torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 40.00 MiB. GPU&quo

Unraid does look pretty nice. Synology definitely has difficulty spikes, and then you have to search for some article or tutorial.

by peterleiser 2y ago
That's fair, Synology can be confusing, and it's permission system is frustrating. However, my experience has been that many people use Synology, and I have found detailed articles about everything I've ever wanted to do with

I stayed in Kauai in 2012 and the locals said they do not eat the chickens. They said the meat is very tough and doesn't taste very good. They also said the chickens are useful because they eat millipedes, which are everywhere. They cl

1999 indeed! I haven't heard that term since around 1999 when I was hired as a "web engineer" and derisively referred to myself as a "webgineer". I almost asked if I could change my title to "sciencematician&qu

My friend's advisor in grad school (Physics, not CS) used to ask his students for various project estimates, and then he would double it and increase the units: 2 hours = 4 days; 1 day = 2 weeks; 2 weeks = 4 months; 2 to 3 months = 4 t
