I have a flipper zero which I use monthly to provision keyfobs for new members of the hackerspace I run. Great little device! This new one doesn't have an nfc/rfid reader/writer so…

There's lots of cool details like this which you share in this thread but aren't present in the writeup, which is a bit of a shame! I'd love to hear more about how you arrived at t…

The same author wrote a long writeup a number of years back on their other demo "Memories." It is a great read! http://www.sizecoding.org/wiki/Memories

this is gorgeous! really illustrates the fundemental rules in a very aesthetically pleasing way

For AMD you can use the Radeon GPU Analyzer: https://gpuopen.com/rga/

Any percentage of people being de-personed is bad. If the state is permitted to withhold travel documents of people indefinitely (and the supporting documents they sent in to get t…

Sure: https://github.com/blackle/GnuCashAutoInvoice/tree/main It's kinda a mess tbh, and it actually also requires some non-exposed symbols to work properly, so it needs access to …

I use GnuCash for the accounting of my hackerspace. It was either this or a site called "wave" which the treasurer of a nearby makerspace recommended. After signing up for wave and…

I fully agree, however if you're the kind of person who orders groceries, then what ends up happening is that you start collecting reusable bags that you have no way of reusing. I …

I've noticed that adding a colour can make it go from having a solution to not having a solution. Maybe it should try to come up with a solution using fewer colours in that case, s…

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2595/

Increasing temperature just makes more uncommon tokens more likely to appear. This can include both uncommon ideas and uncommon spelling and grammatical mistakes. It also won't mak…

Godspeed, Charles Entertainment Cheese. We will meet again in Valhalla.

My understanding is that minimizing perplexity (what LLMs are generally optimized for) is equivalent to finding a good probably distribution over the next token.

There is a way to do this same compression by utilizing the raw probability distributions that the LLM produces as output. Fabrice Bellard has some experiments with doing this with…

I love grunions. Such funny little creatures. I'd recommend finding a video of them in action where they bury themselves in the sand, only to wiggle around and "pop" out of the san…

I assume you'd go to the library and find photo catalogues, but this is inconvenient and before my time. Nobody is suggesting everyone use this blocklist, but it's here for the hob…

I see the utility of this as removing AI image results from google images. Many artists need to search for real life photo reference in order to improve their drawing or painting s…

Consider a situation where the human operators only get the problems the LLMs can't solve. If LLMs are good but still limited, then the leftover cases will be those that are unusua…

A lot of (low level) code is written with the assumption that the clock rate is fixed. Sometimes bus protocols like i2c are implemented with "bitbanging" where the code "waits" for…

I've used blender VSE for all my video editing since 2020 and it's so awesome to see it improve. I already considered it to be the best video editor on linux due to its stability a…

This is what I do with Firefox developer edition. It doesn't have that problem where it refuses to work if it's been updated in the background, it just adds a little green dot to t…

It is a little more sophisticated. They say they use an exploit that was found where a URL with five characters with a dash will get autocompleted by YouTube (I wonder why that is.…
