I thought the benefit of small models is that they are a natural language UI to whatever they are connected to. It seems strange to me to expect a small model to answer everything …

Thanks for the description. I think I'll jump down the rabbit hole and see it for myself.

I think my particular experiences and shopping style have tainted my view. I understand what you are talking about because the first time entering these spaces always holds a sense…

I think the maze thing is a strategy that mall operators use to trap shoppers in them and encourage them to spend more.

I liked Ray Bradbury's thoughts on the internet when it first came into existence

I appreciate the post if counts for anything. Cooking hacks to save time or elevate a dish to the next level or even allow me to make something without the proper equipment are alw…

I agree with you but I think it's worth pointing out that this is a new occurrence. It's not just the performance of software but the UI and features themselves. The constant UI re…

It's not just imagination the relevance is also tied to focus and attention. I have multiple friends who claim that the reason they don't read is because are "visual learners" . Th…

After playing around with old spec hardware I would say before OP gives up try installing Alpine Linux. Run Alpine Linux from RAM. That will consume about 125MB with the standard i…

When people say inflation they normally mean CPI which is a poor indicator for inflation and considering it so ignores the time value of money. Sellers should be forced to label DR…

I think algorithmic music discovery is overrated. Back in the day I used to use Audioscrobler which was an audio plugin for Winamp which was basically a recommender system for musi…

My Android Phone will connect to my dock and all connected hardware functions as expected but it doesn't charge the phone. After the first disconnect subsequent connections to the …

I think I'm in this boat. I'm just choosing to interact with technology less. Everything has just gotten more hostile that it has reached a tipping point.

I have multiple home servers running ZFS and the first thing to check when encountering errors is the SATA cables. Those blue foil fan-out types are the worst from my experience.

Just don't ask it theme something in a late 30's and early 40's German style.

What do you use for external parity? Par2? If you were to replace your current drive with a new larger one and your RAM or your SATA controller silently corrupted the files how wou…

It's more the single drive storage layout that is an issue in your case. No resilience to a single disk failing and you are risking all your data if your hardware starts silently c…

I wish there was more love for more vanilla forms of Android. I would trade more simplicity out of the box and regular software updates over the current situation. Personally I'm b…

It's Android stop expecting it to make sense. You have to learn some intricacy of some tool so you can forget it and have to learn it again three months later. iOS is no better. Su…

Alpine Linux Combined with OXWM isn't a bad idea. If your install is small and you have enough ram it's possible to run it from RAM with persistence.

Is this a valid point when we live in an evolving world. Language changes, facts change etc. Or can everything can just be grabbed from webpages and stored in the context window?

If I remember correctly iPhone apps used to use the devices SSL certificates so you as a user could install your own and man-in-the-middle the traffic to see what was being sent. A…

This looks interesting. I just set up an Alpine Diskless system that boots from a USB stick. I originally tried to set up a NixOS diskless system with persistence for the same reas…

Yeah I don’t know if I come to the same conclusion as you. There is no probabilistic way to determine if the singularity will be a positive or negative for humanity. Climate change…

Because it's more fun? Being serious this is a silly line of reasoning. Maybe they are both bad? It's like asking why is it bad to light a forest fire when there is a forest fire a…
