About rixrax

Throwaway acct. sort of. Not so much anymore. More like pseudonymous. Because of privacy. Trying to offend equally.

My northstars: without privacy, there cannot be freedom; affordable access to quality education should be available to everyone ; baseline healthcare should be available for everyone, without insurance, at an affordable cost. These are or should be civil rights issues.

    I hope next up is the performance and bloat that the LLMs can try and improve. Especially on perf side I would wager LLMs can go from meat sacks what ever works to how do I solve t…

    Is there a 'HW' guide to show the expected performance of Vulkan compute codecs anywhere?

    And while at it, ability to mount the resulting archives at some virtual root in nginx|apache. E.g. serve site-archive.extension at /somepath/site. And standalone simple webserver …

    Although PG isn't wrong here, people also have larger wrists nowadays that are able to comfortably support larger watches compared to ~50 years a go, never mind at the 1940s or 195…

    Any reason it couldn't run on Raspberry Pi? Also, I have some ZHA sensors that I believe are also on 2.4GHz band - will this interfere with them?

    This is awesome! I wish Omega, Zenith, Seiko and other watch manufacturers would do the same and publish their historic catalogs online! And auto manufacturers, and really everyone…

    I think models will also become snapshots or time capsules (with obvious and non-obvious biases) that archaeologists of tomorrow (like in 500 years) will use to understand us and t…

    What is the current hypothesis on if the context windows would be substantially larger, what would this enable LLMs to do that is beyond capabilities of current models (other than …

    Essentially you're paying human to be a proxy between the requirements, LLM and codebase. Some people I'm talking to lament having to pay top dollar to their junior (and other kind…

    This should have been named NOTjson-somethingv5. Or similar. Now it is far from obvious for the uninitiated that this might not be the 'latest' version of JSON. And then they end u…

    But what about the heat sinks / fan when you mount the m2 on top? Especially /w Pi 5, to get more perf out of it, it presumably should have a sizeable heat sink complete with the f…

    Rolls sleeves up to start working on custom GPT and training my own LLM to offer service to produce llms.txt for a website by letting them process the website... ;-)

    You're probably not wrong. But I think we should recognize that what is humanity is rather fluid. If you were to talk to the 15th century clergymen, I think they would tell the hor…

    I wholeheartedly agree (that first ask from ChatGPT, then double check with whatever, and that Google results have become junk - mostly). Alas, I can totally see how AI companies w…

    On stock rPi5 running this takes > 3 seconds. Three seconds to render 370 x 370, 8-bit/color RGBA image to ASCII on a 2.4GHz CPU. And this is my lead-in to rant about neofetch, whi…
