ONNX, that's how its done in prod and on other models besides (and including) LLaMa. Quantization is a general technique. 100 small variants of llama2 GGML weights feels like spam from that perspective. (sort of civitai vs. huggingface, hugginface smartly stopped that with AI art).

I found my wife on OKCupid back in 2010, before online dating became an utter cesspool of dick pics and matches based purely on attractiveness with no consideration for actual matching by personality.

Really, if I were to ever be back in the dating pool, Tinder in general would be my last choice.
It does make one wonder how it'll all play out in the coming decades. One way or another humans will eventually be unemployable for most of currently existing jobs.

Throughout history, the ruling elite had always relied on the rest of the population to make their food, do their work, and fight in their wars. This is the first time ever that they will no longer have any need for anyone else. Maybe climate change will conveniently do the culling for them...

Of course there's always that option that we end up in a post scarcity space utopia where machine produced wealth is distributed to all, but only deluded idealists can possibly still think that'll ever be a real option as we slink further into techno feudalism with every passing day.

That's also true in same sex friendships; bisexuality and homosexuality do actually exist.

Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, using Apple Shortcuts exclusively brings a lot of extra (and maybe unnecessary) steps and walls to break through. I knew that from the beginning, but I had to sacrifice convenience to bring my idea to life. But on the other hand, I tried to make the onboarding as clear and easy to follow for every user. That is why is seems like it never ends. But I will improve it for sure. Thank you again! :)

I can't decide if you understand the impact of light pollution and don't believe it matters, or if you don't know the impact of light pollution and so don't understand why it matters.

If you understand the problem and don't believe it matters then I have nothing else to add. I respect your choice of belief.

Otherwise: light pollution disrupts wildlife, impacts human health, wastes money and energy, contributes to climate change, and blocks our view of the universe - this last one being something humanity has enjoyed for thousands of years.

It's possible these are not topics that concern you - that is entirely your option - but it does concern other humans who quite enjoy the night sky and would love to pass it onto the next generations better than it is now.

Epinephrine causes the body to release sugar into the bloodstream - it's one of the reasons you get shaky when your blood sugar gets low (if you're not T1DM at least) - your body is attempting to increase blood sugar by epinephrine. So in reverse, stressful situations that cause the release of epinephrine increase blood sugar.

There's a similar issue with e.g. running as a T1DM (as I understand it, not being one) - when you're running, your body will pump out sugar, but when you stop running, it doesn't stop instantly, so your blood sugar can spike high post-exercise. Or you can run out of sugar and crash hypoglycemic.

It's amazing that CGMs exist that can, to some degree, compensate for these things, but man the body's autoregulation on 50 different axes is fascinating.
Very interesting. It would never have occurred to me that anyone would equate "I don't want this to train AI" with "I don't want people to learn this".

iptables/ebtables is deprecated even in RHEL. While people are free to continue not to transition to nftables complaining about problems with iptables after a decade of its replacement is a bit silly.
I had the original version of these (Ray-Ban stories), and I had to return them three times because they kept dropping the Bluetooth connection. I more or less only wore them while running, so my best guess is moisture from my sweating got into them. Given that they were advertised heavily for sports stuff, that was disappointing.

The return process was also complicated and annoying. Overall, I'd recommend against buying the first generation of these new glasses.
This fallacious talking point is getting annoying.
This instantly reminded me of Next.js, which is open source but has a special build format for serverless environments.

The 1st party implementation is closed source: 3rd parties start on the back foot trying to implement alternatives and have to keep up with a 1st party that can move in lockstep.

People used to feel all kinds of ways about what is now normal smartphone use. There are probably a lot of remnants of those attitudes in ‘00s media that can still be found.

Everyone either got over it or shut up about it because they (ahem, we) had clearly lost.

I expect actually-useful smart glasses will eventually overcome the same stigma. Actually-useful being the key part of that.
I think there's an important distinction to be made:
Theoretically speaking, given that JIT compilers generally care much more about compilation speed than AOT ones, it is not unreasonable to assume that AOT compilers ought to produce more optimized code.

With that said, this is not the case for both JVM and .NET. Stepping away from ought to is, both have JIT compilers which produce better optimized code than their AOT counterparts, due to a variety of reasons including R&D effort done for JIT throughout their history and JIT allowing to dynamically profile and recompile the code according to its execution characteristics (.NET's Tier 1 PGO Optimized and HotSpot JVM's C2).
Show HN: YDrip – An open source water meter that detects leaks
Hi HN,

I'm developing an open-source water meter for Home Assistant and thought the HN community might be interested. I've been using some version of it after a few costly toilet leaks that my city meter missed. Recently, I decided to polish it up so others could use it. It might also function as a gas meter reader (https://youtu.be/9Dso4EBAoiE), but this is still experimental.

The device runs on 3 AA batteries and utilizes an ESP32-S3. It works by measuring the spinning magnet inside the brass housing. It stays in deep sleep until it needs to transmit usage or leak information. It's not an ideal CPU for battery-powered devices, but I chose it because it has a lot of support in the home automation community. To compensate for the power-hungry CPU, I am handling rotation counting and leak detection in programmable hardware. Currently, it consumes 50-75uA while the ESP32 is sleeping. The programmable hardware makes it an interesting platform for other use cases like electricity meter monitoring.

I'm planning on selling the hardware and potentially offering a hosted solution for those who don't want to set up Home Assistant if there is demand.

There is still a lot to do, like designing a waterproof case and completing the software. If you're interested in the details, I have a project log on Hackaday. Feedback, feature requests, and contributors are always welcome.

Yea, I skipped playing mostly due to that. Without VAC there's not much point. Bots or cheat-competition servers/lobbies, lol.

Same here, actually - no sound. I don't even see the application in pavucontrol; even though the game sees my devices, it doesn't claim them?
> I don't even know the names of my neighbors.

I don't either, but I have plenty of friends in real life (well, all of my friends are in real life). Those two things are not related.
You can't prevent it. The best you can do, is prove an account belongs to a human, and that the human only has a single account, via cryptographic ZK proofs + Government issued keys or some other proof of personhood scheme. Assuming this is enforced, it would limit most abuse, and the AI would essentially be acting as an agent on behalf of the user.

The way these work is usually presenting an existing captcha to another human who doesn’t even know they’re solving the captcha. For example, sites hosting pirated content serve fake captchas as a way to make money.

Are you perhaps confusing ClickHouse, with ClickHouse Keeper (one of ClickHouse's components?) Sounds to me like ClickHouse is the database, and ClickHouse Keeper is the ZK drop-in replacement. A bit like HBase being a database, and ZooKeeper being a service it is heavily dependent on.

Need-to-know basis exists for a reason. You're not being creative enough if you think offending people is the worst possible misuse of AI.

People drinking bleach or refusing vaccines is a self-correcting problem, but the consequences of "forbidden knowledge" frequently get externalized. You don't want every embittered pissant out there to be able to autogenerate a manifesto, a shopping list for Radio Shack and a lesson plan for building an incendiary device in response to a negative performance review.

Right now it's all fun exercises like "how can I make a mixed drink from the ingredients I have," but eventually some enterprising terrorist will use an uncensored model trained on chemistry data...to assist in the thought exercise of how to improvise a peroxide-based explosive onboard an airplane, using fluids and volumes that won't arouse TSA suspicion.

It is still a very inspiring project. Someone with CPP experience can keep on working on it.

You have no idea whether the business is bankrupt. It’s very possible that the business is not generally paying their bills as they come due. You also have no idea whether the business will file for bankruptcy protection in the next few years, in which case transfers they make today might be fraudulent or preferential. You also don’t know whether any of these transfers were made to “insiders,” which could drastically change the timeline in the previous sentence.

I get it, your intuition is that businesses should generally pay their bills. I feel that way too. There are circumstances where that could be a really bad idea.
Or they could ignore the people crying about cheaters because they lost.

I was previously SMFC. People love to call cheats way more often than people actually cheat im that game. People cannot fathom simply being worse, or they cannot emotionally handle it.

No, they should not add kernel level malware to the game.
I think it's seen as more of an upgrade than a new game. Incidentally, this means any self-hosted CS:GO servers will be updated/replaced with CS2.

The 'steamcmd' tool used to manage servers uses the same IDs.

The configs probably differ, that'll be fun. My client config seems to need updated, it's not executing.

Edit: For those with custom client configs, they used to go here, under the 'Counter-Strike Global Offensive' dir:

I do wonder what the arguments for AI therapy are Vs the arguments against AI therapy.

I am in agreement with you, I just intuitively think it’s a terrible idea - however, my intuition could be wrong.

I think I’d be more comfortable making an argument against AI therapy, but I think it would be important to hear arguments for AI therapy as well. Is it possible that AI could be used to enhance therapy, rather than replace it?
If you're interested in finding more of an in-person community (and you may not be! Primarily online might be your preference, and there's nothing wrong with that), I'd recommend finding a bigger, denser city. It almost doesn't matter which; the more people there, the more of _your people_ you'll find there. This is effectively a smaller analogue of finding your people online, since the Internet has the most people—but making a compromise to be able to connect locally. That said, your profile suggests you're in Berlin, which as a complete outsider (I've never been to Germany at all) I would've presumed would be sufficiently urban.
> We should build a "car-free" city just to see how well it will go.

Fairly sure we were doing exactly that for most of the last 9000 years or so.

Anyway, it's hard to see how it will solve or prove anything - the vast majority of us aren't going to move to greenfield cities. We already have plenty of towns and cities around the world (not many in the US, granted) that have managed to strike a reasonable balance between car-usage and other forms of getting around, at a "human" scale. The primary challenge is ensuring future urban development follows that path rather than continuing the same trends of excessive devotion to cars-above-all that we've witnessed in many cities over the last 70 or 80 years.
Carl leaned back in his leather chair, a cup of steaming chamomile tea beside him. The article he'd just read about Jony Ive and Sam Altman's possible collaboration on an AI device floated around in his mind. He looked out at the bustling city through the tall windows of his penthouse office, pondering the future.

"In a world increasingly reliant on instant information and instant solutions," he mused aloud, "it isn't far-fetched to believe that AI will not only supplement, but also redefine our interactions. I imagine a device - not necessarily a phone in the traditional sense - but an omnipresent companion, molding itself seamlessly into our daily lives."

He imagined a slim, sleek device, devoid of buttons. Its surface would be smooth, reflective, giving off a gentle glow. It would be adaptive and intuitive, learning and understanding its user's preferences and habits. No longer would people have to spend time inputting data or even searching for answers. The device would provide not just answers but also anticipate needs, offering solutions before the user even recognized a problem.

"Imagine," Carl whispered, "walking into a room and the device automatically adjusts the lighting based on your mood, perhaps playing soft ambient music in the background. And as you work, it sifts through documents, instantly pulling up relevant information, or perhaps even creating presentations on-the-fly, guided only by your voice or thoughts."

He saw the potential for deeper human connection. With mundane tasks outsourced to the AI, people would have more time to engage in meaningful interactions, fostering relationships, and pursuing passions. But Carl also recognized potential challenges. The blurring line between man and machine could bring about questions of privacy, dependence, and even identity.

"We are on the brink of an era where AI won't just assist but will become an extension of ourselves," he thought. He envisioned people discussing ideas with their AI, debating, learning, and growing together. This AI wouldn't be just a tool; it would be a partner.

However, Carl was also wary. Such power in the hands of a device meant it would be a beacon for hackers and those with malicious intent. Moreover, the ethical considerations of creating an AI so deeply integrated into human life would be immense.

Drawing a deep breath, Carl looked down at his own smartphone. "A relic," he chuckled. "In a decade or two, we'll look at these devices as we do now with rotary phones or fax machines."

He took a sip of his tea, now lukewarm. "It's an exciting future," he whispered. "But one we need to step into with caution and consciousness."

His assistant, a traditional machine, beeped, reminding him of his next meeting. Carl smiled, looking forward to the day his meetings would be scheduled, organized, and even anticipated by an AI that truly understood him.
> Surely I'm not the only one who has been subjected to a seemingly endless stream of rom-coms where the protag ditches their SO for their good/best/work friend my entire life?

No, you aren't, nor are you the only one to give inappropriate weight to common tropes of some genre of fiction that exist because it is a convenient narrative framework given the genre in deciding how to deal with real life.

Not being alone in that does not, however, make it a good idea.
That’s entirely why. A massive caveat.
It's actually not that hard to use LEDs in this way. I think it's not done a lot because in applications that need a light sensor, a purpose-built light sensor works a whole lot better, and it's rare that space is such a premium that having one is an issue.

Glasses may be a use case where space is at a premium, though, so it could make sense there.

Building something _different_ faster/cheaper than a competitor is not really the same as rebuilding the same thing with a fraction of the people. In the past when I've seen the claim "I could rebuild this in a weekend" it's literally calling into question why so many engineers were needed to build _that thing_, not something else.

More specifically, new entrants (and especially so in new categories) regularly get the luxury of extended time to iron out issues, create a better UX, find all the edge cases, invest in internationalization, distribute to multiple platforms, integrate with other systems, address security issues, and more. These tend to be exactly the kind of things that make recreating the incumbent products hard.

If OpenAI continues on its current trajectory, it can easily end up with a team equal to or larger in size than all of Google working on search.
This does look quite nice. I always felt that the operator precedence / association rules in other stack languages were by far the most difficult thing to get used to, not the nonstandard symbols. This appears more inviting in that regard.

I do have to question the choice of right-to-left (array language) evaluation order. I've personally always preferred left-to-right (stack language) evaluation. I feel like right-to-left requires you to think to the end of a line before you start typing anything at all, as the first thing you type is the last thing that's evaluated. Left-to-right would also allow re-evaluating and visualizing the stack as you write each operator.
I mean, the light makes it VERY apparent when it's recording or taking a picture.

Would you be just as uncomfortable eating lunch with someone who had their phone in their hand? It'd be much easier to surreptitiously record/photograph someone with a phone because they have no status indicator when they're recording and people inadvertently point phone lenses at each other all the time.
