I have seen a few occasional sites that are even worse than this one.. Not only don't you get a reject all, you get two classes of settings, the default "types", and "trusted partn…

You're right... I read the title too quickly... I'll have to look at Senko vs Softformer later...

Fun... This is something I actually care about... I used to keep a version of whisperx around, because I think it's important to have not just transcription, but also timing and sp…

For that price you can put together a PC with 128GB of ram ($2000) and an RTX 5090 ($3600) and get 70-100 tokens per second instead of 45

For me, the simple shift of moving to eating 0.7g of protein per pound of body weight every day did it... It was not enough on it's own (I also eat more fiber, less fat, less carbs…

The issue isn't food addiction, it's a broken hunger response (broken by Howard Moskowitz intentionally in the name of profits)... You have to change your food regimen completely (…

I had the same experience, but not with GLP-1 drugs, but by upping my protein intake to about 0.7g per pound of body weight. Night and day, stopped always being hungry... I've trie…

That's because of a fundamental misunderstanding of what an LLM is. The only correct answer to "Why did you do it like this?" is that the specific combination of input text and RNG…

You can swap out your default lenses with multifocal lenses... I use multifocal contact lenses, and my wife and my mother both had the surgery. My wife got the panoptix (no need fo…

I run two 1.5TB Optanes in raid-0 with XFS (I picked them up for $300 each on sale about two years ago). These are limited to PCIE 3.0 x4 (about 4GB/s max each). I also have a 64GB…

Fun... This is something I have been thinking about and researching for awhile, because there is so very much confusing language out there. Your quote says over the last century, s…

The sad part of all of this was that the company that does this tried to poach me back in 2013 or 2014, but I was disgusted by the practice, so I refused to even interview. Since t…

I used to manage a team working on the news feed at Facebook (main page). We did extensive experimentation, and later user studies to find out that there are roughly three classes …

I recently learned about the (ancient?) greek concept of amathia. It's a willful ignorance, often cultivated as a preference for identity and ego over learning. It's not about a la…

The only actual problem with cheating is leaderboards. When you have accurate matchmaking, you will be playing against other players of a similar skill level. If you we're playing …

I've been using an 8k 65" TV as a monitor for four years now. When I bought it, you could buy the Samsung QN700B 55" 8k, but at the time it was 50% more than the 65" I bought (TCL)…

Definitely not useless! I run a ttyd server to get terminal over https, and I have used carbonyl over that to get work done. That's limited to a web browser (to get access to resou…

I am truly shocked by this. I looked it up, and it turns out you're right. Both the iPhone 17 and the iPhone Air use USB2. USB3 was introduced in 2008 (!!!). That is 17 years ago. …

Which is literally what Apple announced in this video: "and the 2x telephoto has an updated photonic engine, which now uses machine learning to capture the lifelike details of her …

I used to work at Meta (back when it was just Facebook), and I pioneered a similar effort back in 2016-2017-ish. Now, I don't know anything about the current version (which seems t…

As to MapReduce, I think you're fundamentally mistaken. You can talk about map and reduce in the lambda calculus sense of the term, but in terms of high performance distributed cal…

This is one of the hot button topics, but I was surprised to see the (false) reference to the FAA having race and gender quotas. This was suggested to me six months ago by someone …

Did you finetune it before trying? Docs here: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core/huggingface_text_full_...

I want to take just a second, not to talk about asciinema itself, but to use asciinema to talk about a project I just discovered recently called carbonyl. It's a command line web-b…
