My same thought, precisely. Funny how certain expressions are now toxic telltale sign.

We're in good hands! /s

The article reads a bit parochial, with scarce mentions of market dynamics. Capers are definitely an uncommon sight in the US. In Italy you will occasionally spot this bad boy: htt…

No, or at least: not yet.

I'm probably not the best person to elaborate on why societal anxieties arise every time our place in the universe shrinks. I guess observing reactions to copernican heliocentrism …

Well spotted. The agent does in fact assess whether or not the information it's processing is already in its vector DB. I'm still unclear if what you noticed is due to the LLM fail…

I did! I want to switch to Mixtral-8x22B, time permitting. During the development of Stream of Consciousness I already swapped LLMs twice. This space is moving incredibly fast.

LLM: Mixtral-8x7B text-to-image: one of the leading commercial models, whose TOS I may or may not be violating.

The text-to-image model is an important component, but the current model in use is IMO good enough. My view for this project is that the internal monologue is more important than t…

Glad you like it! One of the things I tried to emulate is the notion of obsessions, which I believe is an important component of the creative process. It seems like Livia got obses…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I fully agree re: the importance of art and the absurdity of the concept which, I hope it's clear, is embedded in the spirit of this project. O…

Thanks for reporting. Fixing that pronto.

Hi HN, moved by curiosity about how to build an autonomous agent, and to explore the boundaries of machine creativity, I built a fictional entity (dubbed Livia) powered by LLMs, Mu…

So great to see interest in ePaper screens. Picture frame projects specifically seem to be gathering steam. Shameless plug: I built a solar ePaper frame that displays Google Photo …

Over the past few months I had the privilege to be part of a team of artists and researchers who assembled a hypothetical message from ET for A Sign in Space, a project founded and…

So far, I've shared the instructions on how to build a custom solar engine, which was the most time-consuming portion of the project. Coming up next: high level directions on how t…

I did, though I appreciate the appeal of recycling a screen no longer loved.

Just a few days ago I stumbled upon Exeger and its promising Powerfoyle material. Looks like Big E Ink is already on it: https://www.powerfoyle.com/news/exeger-and-e-ink-partner-to…

Indeed, it doesn't! I've been splurging on UV protecting glass for my frames and I hope that will make them last longer. Other than that, I try to position the frames close to wind…

Nicely done. Have you tried connecting it with a larger panel and see if you can get rid of that battery draining during Winter? I'm curious to hear how your battery copes over tim…

I agree. The brain does a lot of the interpolation that fools us into thinking there's more colors. Here's another example of interesting results: https://twitter.com/liviopacifico…

I really enjoyed the work you put into finding the best images for the medium. It matters! For instance, I noticed that in the black-white-red ePaper, photos with a subject contain…

Thanks for your comment. You are definitely right about "forever" not matching reality, which is why I placed it between quotes. In this case, what this means to me is a device tha…
