Oh sure, I'm just thinking in the realm of HN... perhaps it's more common than average! But having a networked UPS is non-negotiable for me, as far as I'm concerned it's no use if the servers power off hard anyways. It&#

The point is for when you're not home, it can automatically shut down your PC. It's actually quite useful if you happen to have a home lab. The nicer units can monitor temperature and humidity and send you an email if they exceed

The SUA1500 is a pretty reliable unit and I highly doubt that's the issue. If there was a problem with the battery, those were poor quality batteries, but nothing to do with the UPS and not a reason to avoid them if you have a good use

Man I hate to be that guy... but I do in fact have a blade chassis in my basement that can pull 6kW. I didn't even blink at 185W for a router, one of my switches can pull 125-200W alone. Some of us really do have that stuff just sittin

A fun little challenge I like to give LLMs is to ask some basic logic puzzles, i.e. how can I measure 2 liters using a 3 liter and a 5 liter container? Usually if it's possible, they seem to do ok. When it's not possible, they pro

Of course, this is common with LLMs which are too large to fit in any single GPU. I believe Deepspeed implements what you're referring to.

I doubt it. The latest GPUs utilize HBM which is necessarily part of the same package as the main die. If you had a RAM slot for a GPU you might as well just go out to system RAM, way too much latency to be useful.

SD2 isn't SDXL. SD2 was a continuation of the original models that didn't see much success. It didn't have a refiner.

It has definitely affected myself and colleagues, perhaps we didn't waste much time but it's annoying. Even if it isn't a problem, it really cannot hurt to make the naming easier to understand.

I know what they were going for with the Mixtral name but every time I come across it I wonder if they considered just how easily the two might be confused. It seems like a poor branding decision - what if some expected the Mixtral performa

I seriously have no idea where such a bumper would even go, let alone what it would look like. And it's not my bike, it's dozens of ones that I have owned or seen. It's also far easier to imagine the lack of something rathe

It's worth noting that when photography was new it was viewed much like generative AI is today - as not "real art", "cheating", or somehow otherwise less valuable than traditional art forms. Today, after such impact

Unfortunately, as with filesystem dates, git dates are trivially modified. I don't even think writing such a tool would be difficult either - space out the commits semi-randomly within the time of day you might be writing, add a few pa

You're correct that nothing can move instantaneously, at a maximum it's bounded by the speed of sound in the material. But can you detect a 0.2ms delay? Probably no human can. What about a 2ms delay? Potentially some people can. W

The wheels move exactly as the driver wants in any vehicle with a mechanical steering rack. It's not a problem. Lag due to poor drive-by-wire implementation however is most definitely a problem and not a small one, it's a signific

Very interesting! It doesn't seem to be the default yet, at least not for anything I use. Glad to hear we're making progress though, if a bit slowly and behind other nations.

Meanwhile here in the US, we still have payments that take up to 5 days to fully "clear". As far as I can tell, the only reason for this because other payments take a long time to clear, and thus until those have been reconciled

It's not complaining about having a different opinion, it's that the way you present it is vitriolic. It doesn't matter (at least to me) if you don't like the project or don't see the point. There's just no rea

Oddly enough, other people find enjoyment in things you might find pointless. Maybe just let them be? Not every waking second needs to be spent on "pushing computing forward" or whatever. Sometimes we just want to do something coo

While that certainly explains why they might use a microcontroller, it's certainly not necessary. The lock can be connected to a simple switch used for signalling occupancy, same as any security or commercial fire protection system.
