Ask HN: Devnagari ASCII Art Generator, How to Make?
This is an example of Nepali sentence. Nepali is based on Devanagari Script.

यो फोरम मलाई एकदम मन पर्छ|

https://nepalilanguage.org/alphabet/#:~:text=Each%20of%20the%20following%2033,%2F%2C%20%E0%A4%AB%20%2Fp%CA%B0a%2F%2C
These are the vowels and consonants in Nepali.

A Nepali consonant can take these many forms. "Ka" is first letter of Nepali consonant.

Expected Input

यो फोरम मलाई एकदम मन पर्छ|

And any character like a,b,c,.,/,,+,- based on which the ASCII art will be generated.

Expected Output

Every letter should be scaled and drawn with the given character, say for example "". Like below.

Plan 1:

1) Accept Nepali characters as input. And parse each character.

example यो फोरम मलाई एकदम मन पर्छ|

2) Get the shape of each character.

3) Scale the shape.

4) Redraw the shape using "*" or anything given by user as input.

Plan 2:

1) Take Nepali character as input

2) Convert to Unicode.

3) Process the Unicode.

4) Display Nepali as output.

I'm wondering how could I do this? Language doesn't matter but I'd prefer, C, C++ or Javascript.

I noted how, when they first started, they talked mostly about developing 'AI accelerators' and it felt mostly like they were talking about big, GPGPU style chips to go head to head with nVidia. Thousands of small SIMD cores doing matrix multiplies, with fast memory and pcie. Maybe something halfway between Cerebras size and and Nvidia Hopper. A tall order but something really needed.

Then at some point it feels like Jim got hooked on the idea of RISC-V everything, and they pivoted their messaging to talking about these more CPU-like chips with a main R-V64 8-wide decoding, state of the art OoO execution, etc. That sounds more like a RISC-V competitor to AMD Zen instead of a competitor to an nVidia GPU.

And they they talk about that just being the interface to the AI chip later but... it really feels like that saw 'hey we can get all this RISC-V stuff for free essentially, and really take over the development of the spec, and that is easier than figuring out how to develop an GP AI chip and a stack that competes with CUDA to go with it, so that is easier to start...'

I'm totally a non-expert though and the preceding is just what I've picked up from watching interviews with Jim (who I just find awesome to listen to).
Actually you just said that common sense would indicate a natural origin, which was, at least in the case of SARS, just refuted.

I think it's just cultural exposure rather than any sort of brain difference when it comes to map reading.

As a young lad, I did lots of map and compass work in boy scouts, and then more doing backpacking with my male friends. When I started hunting with those same buddies, map reading ability was assumed and absolutely essential for survival. A typical excursion is miles from a road or trail in heavily forested mountains. For some reason, I found my female friends mostly chose other forms of mutual recreation in their youth. I knew a few though that didn't and they were just as good as my male friends.

And now as a Civil Engineer, I often make maps for sites in GPS-difficult areas (heavy tree cover). So I've gotten REALLY good at piecing things together from tiny little details in satellite photography. Like nothing replaces seeing aerial shots over and over again and comparing it to what youve seen on the ground.

The single biggest skill that GPS is killing isn't symbolic recognition in the map, it's what I call "thinking big". GPS directions are the minutia, and if you follow directions at that scale, its VERY easy to become disoriented or lost. In contrast, if you just quickly scan the larger map features (position of a big mountain, the freeway, a large park boundary, etc, you can mostly navigate without the GPS at all. I might take different streets to get to the freeway, but I'll still get there.

In open country, you can't look at the trees or trail markers as your primary guide. You'll be in danger of getting lost. The skill is rather knowing which mountain you're on, where it is relative to other mountains, and counting the large scale features like ridges, valleys/streams, and general position of roads. I don't need turn by turn directions to get to the road due south of my position and then know I can follow it back up to the truck.
OCaml was originally a contraction of Objective Caml, and spelled O'Caml. At some point this changed and the spelling without the apostrophe was adopted. What comes out of my fingers hasn't caught up, though.
I think that’s a fair bet; that’s pretty much what physics have been doing to every problem for the last 100 years unfortunately..
LLMs are not stochastic though, they are deterministic and dont even require random numbers, right?

The term in general seems to be unfortunate because the models seem to do more than parroting. LLMs are more like central pattern generators of the nervous systems, able to flexibly create well coordinated patterns when guided appropriately

As parent post noted, there is no mention of Google, Microsoft, Apple, or Amazon on the partners page for PlaceIQ.

In general, those companies aren't interested in bundling up data on users and selling it to third parties because the data itself is the nest egg. They go out of their way to, if anything, provide services for anonymous matching of interested parties to users they've collected data on, but not in a way that lets those parties pull the data back out.
God, it's crazy to me that the cult around this company on Reddit is still going strong.

We have human sized hamster balls, that are pretty popular with the younger humans…or at least the subset that went to my kids’ elementary school carnivals. So there’s a little support for your theory.

I am just asking what the point is? Why bother with all the paperwork banning a merger that is not going to happen? The US (or UK or anyone else) has every RIGHT to book on it. But why spend time and energy exercising that right if it makes no difference and another country already vetoed it?

Counterpoint - you can play the digital copy of Mario Kart twice at the same time. The first Switch (or whatever you designate as the "main" Switch for your account) can launch the game regardless of online status, while the second has to check every time - annoying, but not unheard of (PS4/5 does something similar).

You can run the game on both Switches at once, with one license - something you can't do with physical. But it's a massive trade-off since no online or store shutdown means you're stuck, whereas a cart should work forever.

Not sure if this is happening in other countries, but as here in Colombia it seems we won't ever have nice things like DAB radio, they just assigned some frequencies to state-owned radio stations to broadcast to all the territory (plus some additional frequencies on several regions) via DVB-T2. Said TV radio stations are broadcasting with no image whatsoever.

"The social issue continues in that people want some quick and easy to understand number, because they and their company also cannot process in a short time if these security vulns are substantial or not.

"

Uh, none of this explains why they re-score the vulnerabilities themselves, ignoring the vendor scores and deciding they know best, when they seem to know ... nothing.

Which if you read through the links, you'll see is one of the main complaints, and something they document here:

https://nvd.nist.gov/general/FAQ-Sections/CVE-FAQs#faqLink9

Their take is basically "we get to do this and if it's wrong it's your problem to get us to correct us".

That doesn't make any sense.

As my child's kindergarten teacher once asked a student: "Do you think if everyone decided to do that, it would turn out okay?"

NVD and CVE teams will simply never have the expertise or time or information necessary to actually re-score these things correctly. You'll also note that despite claiming they score things based on publicly available information, and that othres must do the same, they cite absolutely no sources to Daniel to defend their scoring.

They light themselves on fire, generate smoke and noise that others have to deal with, and then complain that it's the job of others to put it out.
If your organization has a system, by all means use it.

The whole point of Johnny.Decimal is that most organizations have absolutely no system to organize information. It’s tossed into a huge pile.

Even organizations that have systems concern themselves only with organization-wide needs. Individuals still have needs that the organization does not address.
Then the courts are wrong, as they often are when it comes to constitutionality. Domestic dragnet surveillance is a very obvious violation of the 4th amendment.

Something I can recommend is taking a bicycle and intentionally getting lost in the city. Cycle random intersections in random directions and you'll quickly start to build a mental map. You can go from being entirely new to having a mental map of an entire district in only a few hours.

This trick is trying to compress the years of walking and cycling and getting lost that you'd do as a child or teen into a single evening and it's really helpful at building a mental map.

In the spirit of transparency, I wanted to share some of the high-level decisions that went into Marqt.org. I am happy to go into further detail or discuss any other aspects that I left out. Just prepare to roll your eyes at how basic I am (I know you're smarter than me, and I'm okay with that).

First, the way marqts are scored. It is an average of all the marqs (0 to 100% true) users have made, but a marqt needs to meet a minimum of twelve votes (arbitrarily chosen because there are twelve jurors in a jury) before it calculates solely off user votes. Before reaching twelve, the empty slots are set to neutral (50%), so if you make a marqt and marq it 100% true, the marqt will reflect that it is "54% true with 1 vote."

Second, the way marqts are sorted. They are sorted by most recent marqts made today (resets every day by UTC time), then by marqts with the most volume, favoring more recent marqts when the volume is the same. There is also a feedback marqt that is inserted in between today's marqts and the highest volume marqts in the sixth item, after the first marqt-maker. You are allowed to make up to ten marqts per day.

Remarqs are sorted so the most remarqable remarq is first, followed by the most remarqable opposing remarq, so that the best argument for each side floats to the top. After remarqability, it goes by things like volume, date and whether it is an opinionated or neutral remarq. The auto-generated remarqs are from Open AI's gpt-3.5-turbo model (with default settings), and the prompt is: Give me the best reason why the following statement might be {true/false} without repeating it back to me: """{statement}""".

On user privacy. The last time around, it was pointed out that I was exposing user information, which I patched immediately. I have added further protections, so that when you have an account, your marqs are not linked to your real name. But, if you add a remarq, it will display your real name (which is conversely not linked to your username). Your email address should be completely hidden and inaccessible via the API. As for anonymous accounts, I hash the public IP address through SHA-256 and bencrypt to create an anonymous user (so something like 127.0.0.1 could become @anon_YmNyeXB0X3NoYTI1NiQkMmIkMTIkSUhIVm5YRjNPeGUxQkdtd2ZIeEFyT1F3Y05DaDV4Q2hMUjI1RHBRT21LLkJOZlZPbHB6cjY=) whose first/last name is set to "Anonymous User." This is my attempt to prevent unlimited voting, although I am aware that it is not perfect (neither is email address, for that matter).

The site is still MVP-ish, but it should hopefully do everything I mentioned so far. I have an ambitious product roadmap ahead, but please let me know if you have any suggestions or criticisms. All the updates I listed above were solely derived from your feedback and not preplanned, so it's highly likely that if you have an issue that is compelling enough, I will prioritize that over other features.

Gamestop and AMC's business is primarily selling stock at a massive premium to retail idiots. Their secondary business is making sure they are not violating their fiduciary duty. Very far down in their list of priorities is turning around the business (Selling stock is more lucrative for management than selling movies, games).
Tornado Cash Is Not Free Speech. It’s a Golem (2022)
Oh come on. You know what I mean. Companies like OpenAI are basically appropriating value created by others by feeding the so called "public" data into their LLMs. Therefore stealing content on a massive scale. You and I are not getting rewarded a single cent for all the time we spent on StackOverflow, or Reddit, or here on HN etc.

I´m looking at the big picture here.

So what I was trying to say is I can see how more and more social sites and services that have open APIs are going to rethink how they share their data seeing as all the value is being sucked dry out of them AND then repurposed as a new, privately owned product.
> It's honestly hard to compare emotional and physical trauma.

(as a message to the whole tree of comments, not just you)

It's also unnecessary to compare, it's not a competition. They're both trauma because damage has been done, they both scale from benign and playful[1] to horrifically destructive[2]. The worse it's enacted the worse it is, regardless of who did it and regardless of who did worse to the other gender.

Personally I’ve always found what the adtech industry is doing creepier than what the intelligence community is doing.

I find the motives of adtech darker than those of intelligence, especially when adtech intersects with dark patterns and driving addiction. I’ve seen what this can do to people, especially teens but adults too.

Intelligence at least nominally is supposed to be protecting me. Yes I realize there’s corruption and loose cannon agendas, but those are not its official reason to exist. Adtech on the other hand has the explicit goal of making me addicted, dumb, and poor. The corruption and ill intent isn’t an aberration due to poor oversight. It’s the point of the whole endeavor.

Even worse it targets my kids. Modern parenting is an endless battle to keep the kids out of obvious adtech and social media addiction funnels.

If the intelligence community is trying to buy from adtech, it’s because adtech is actually ahead in these areas. The darkest programs in intelligence history like MKUltra are less effective than what can be achieved with a smart phone, a dopamine loop, cute videos, and notifications.
I’d argue that all these models are stochastic parrots because they’re not embodied in any way.

I do not think that this would really change much in itself. If you tell the model that crimson is a shade of green, it will learn something wrong whether it has a body or not. What you need is feedback on whether a response is correct or not, factually correct, not grammatically correct. Alternatively you have to teach the model to perform its own fact checking and apply it to its responses.
No, but I do think they would have a good chance at bringing gaming cafes to a wider audience.
Oh, I'm sure they're right, but it was wild to me, someone who starts any new web-based project with a static html page.

This is a convenience that will turn into an absolute nightmare for average citizens in a few years time. Imagine saying something the state doesn't like and suddenly half the doors in the country won't open for you.
I worry that the "stochastic parrot" was premature, an idea sown early in development that will now carry along through any advances made.

Basically there is this innate idea that if the basic building blocks are simple systems with deterministic behavior, then the greater system can never be more than that. I've seen this is spades within the AI community, "It's just matrix multiplication! It's not capable of thinking or feeling!"

Which to me always felt more like a hopeful statement rather than a factual one. These guys have no idea what consciousness is (nobody does) nor have any reference point for what exactly is "thinking" or "feeling". They can't prove I'm not a stochastic parrot anymore than they can prove whatever cutting edge LLM isn't.

So while yes, present LLMs likely are just stochastic parrots, the same technology scaled might bring us a model that actually is "something that is something to be like", and we'll have everyone treating it with reckless carelessness because "its just a stochastic parrot".
There are laws (in Europe at least) to protect employees from being exploited due to that power imbalance.

Whereas it's not so clear cut, in my opinion at least, that contestants of Mr Beasts videos aren't being exploited. But as I said, the only people who can honestly answer that are the contestants themselves.
It makes buying used games (which they make much more profit on) more enticing to the consumer.
The US could take on the policies I suggested without international cooperation, and it would make an enormous impact. I don't understand why you're acting like this hinges on the US's ability to influence other nations as if the US isn't a major world leader in carbon emissions.

Of course you would try to stretch that effect on to lots of causes. And then argue for the same treatment to those elements. But you got to know that is a logical fallacy.
Yes. That said, I've sadly switched away from i3wm to macOS.

I still have my XPS 13 Developer Edition, but dealing with quirks caused more lost time than I saved with i3wm. Dell has questionable UEFI firmware, and GPU drivers (aside from Intel) were a constant source of kernel panics every few weeks if I ever bumped my eGPU cable.
I don't know the exact FOV specs but it's definitely wide enough to achieve the average movie theater experience, even an IMAX-like experience.
The one Gamestop in Ithaca used to have a clerk who was highly knowledgeable about games, fun to talk to, and always gave good recommendations. The folks who work there now aren’t up to that standard.

and is arguing with her dad (my age) about the value of an anime plushie and I will definitely take her side. On the other hand there is very little inventory there, and frequently a game I buy for $5 doesn’t work and the replacements don’t work either. In a world where most of the gaming spend is on mobile, where downloading is the dominant distribution channel for consoles and PC and a game you buy on disc might need a 50GB update on day one, I can’t see how they are relevant. It struck me as really strange that two issues of Game Informer featured Genshin Impact which is a hit mobile game that entirely cuts Gamestop out.

In Binghamton NY roughly 50 minutes away there are two vintage game and entertainment stores that beat the pants off Gamestop. Both of them have sections of used XBOX and PS games that are about twice as big as our Gamestop. One of them has a lot of used music, DVDs and also a selection of comics. The other one has an arcade with at least 60 coin op video games and pinball machines. Both feature real retro games and cartridges such as Atari 2600, Colecovision and such, I even saw a C128 for sale. My son bought an N64 there and we were able to get a CRT television to go with it by special request at our local reuse center.
From the testing I did, the main culprit for the latency I was experiencing with my USB interface and my MIDI controller was the fact that my Pipewire profile wasn't set as `pro audio` (which can be set in PulseAudio Volume Control software in the `Configuration` tab for your USB audio interface).
However as its a full profile, it must be one of the specific setting inside that fixes the issue, but I don't know which one.
I might need to look into Wireplumber settings (the session manager I use for Pipewire instead of the default one `pipewire-sessions-manager`)

On another note, I found out that my focusrite was held back by factory defaults (3rd gen) and needed to follow a procedure to unlock higher samplerate.
Now I am using 1024/192000 Hz and I reach 5.3ms latency without XRuns. (although when the pro audio profile isn't set Ardour would still say that the latency is 5.3 however you can clearly hear its not the case).
