You know, I hadn't really considered that. I do find the text streaming aspect of LLM interfaces to be a charming solution to the latency issue. What's old is new again.

I did something like this myself a little while back, knownothing.dev It’s fun to put together nonstandard interfaces. I had the idea of streaming in text like you were connected by an old modem to a remote system. Never experienced it myse

What earphones did the author end up using? It is strange that after relating all the dead ends in some detail and found his solution, he does not share it.

While they didn't have trains, the Napoleanic wars did feature the first use of canned food to aid in logistical supply of armies. You could argue that the lack of trains (and can openers) probably meant that they jumped the gun on sta

Why bother? You’ve already made the most significant changes in your life by cutting down your reliance on animal agriculture to a quarter cup of milk and some whey. If it’s for some kind of ideological purity thing, it’s probably not worth

Only works if you isolate the strain. Once they discover what the causative agent is for disease X, they will name it something that someone will call racist eventually and we'll be able to reference it directly.

That was it, yes. Long term storage under refrigeration is harming the quality of the apples at market in the interest of making the apple available year round. The actionable information is in the beginning: honey crisp apples are not wort

I replaced the nibs when I first noticed the issue, and a few times later. It did not resolve the problem, sadly. I'm also using a lot more paper and have gotten into fountain pens for some kinds of note taking, which is about as econo

Remarkable. It was great for doing math, annotating texts, and taking notes for a couple of months. The device became less and less sensitive to the pen over time, which eventually became intolerable. I had kept it around to turn into an ei

The article indicates that the issue was with a private third party that analyzes blood for their hospitals. It also specially references the 2017 attack, and states that the NHS has taken steps to improve their security.

The Vision Pro works in the passenger seat if you turn on travel mode, ideally prior to starting to move. It would probably allow for you to use it in the driver’s seat as well, but I’m not quite insane enough to check. Windows in this mode

I’ve seriously toyed with the concept. It may be possible now to get an application like that on a tablet, offloading computation to OpenAI and its ilk, but it wouldn’t be reliable. We’re not good enough at text and image generation to do i

Arguably, we all benefit when companies that break the law face consequences for breaking the law. There are other pedometers, heart rate sensors, fall sensors, etc. There is no reason people who were in the market for such products have to

That’s what markets are for: someone else will fix the problem because there’s money in it. It’s generally something you can rely on, that someone will try to get their hands on stored euros.

The idea that picking low hanging fruit is bad is very confusing. We should pick those fruit and explore the possibilities of what we have now. It’s not like big ideas are illegal. Anyone who has one finds themselves in an incredible enviro

I currently have mistral 7b running on my phone through the MLCChat app. The performance isn’t too bad for something running on phone hardware. I’d consider that decent, if not world beating.

On what do you base these conclusions? There are no numbers here. As far as the components, Apple Silicon also contains an NPU and GPU. Thus far, there is no reason to believe that Intel has anything significant here aside from chiplets, a
