We are excited to share that OneDiff has significantly enhanced the performance of SVD (Stable Video Diffusion by Stability.ai) since launched a month ago.

Now, on RTX 3090/4090/A10/A100:
- OneDiff Community Edition enables SVD generation speed of up to 2.0x faster. This edition has integrated by fal.ai, which is a model service platform.
- OneDiff Enterprise Edition enables SVD generation speed of up to 2.3x faster. The important optimization of the enterprise edition is Int8 quantization, which is lossless in almost all scenarios, but only be available in OneDiff enterprise edition currently.
- OneDiff Enterprise Edition with DeepCache enables SVD generation speed of up to 3.9x faster.
DeepCache is a novel training-free and almost lossless paradigm that accelerates diffusion models. Additionally, OneDiff has provided a new ComfyUI node named ModuleDeepCacheSpeedup (which is a compiled DeepCache Module) as well as an example of integration with Huggingface's StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.

Model architecture matters. RWKV takes significantly less energy than transformer models.

It’s better for the environment and much faster.

It’s not _only_ about performance
Knowledge is easy. In most places, the pretenders don’t pretend to have knowledge, but pretend to have a much larger impact that they actually have. This is how you get a promo, or don’t get fired if your actual output is miniscule.

Well it depends what you are generating from, but this does raise a good point/principle.

I think "Use traditional code for as long as possible" is a good rule to follow as well.

Let's say you are generating JSON from scraped job offerings so you can insert them into a job-finding database. If these job offerings all come from one place and follow a specific format, DEFINITELY use traditional code, LLMs can't do a better job than that!

However if you are getting them from multiple places, emails, linkedin, ... and they don't follow a set structure, using traditional code to extract any meaningful data would be utterly hopeless without an LLM

So, the only option really is asking the LLM to generate some highly-structured (JSON) data for you based on the unstructured job offer.

In this particular use-case though I would go toward using the Guidance library very, very quickly as it doesn't let me down for cases where I need to generate JSON like this.

In fact, I am working on an article that goes through this exact use-case and my reasoning step by step, which triggered me to write the Defensive AI Design article first as I noticed I had built up a very specific set of rules/workflow that I almost always follow

EDIT: Additionally, I'd say that if you can keep the AI generation to a minimum, and only fill in what you can't with traditional code, then go for it!

If you can programmatically extract the job title, date of posting, but you need AI to extract the required skills & education, then that's the best route to take IMHO

I absolutely should not anthropomorphise LLMs, but I can't get rid of the feelling that "it" was writing this answer with a mischievous smirk, and was having a lot of fun in the process.

The future is weird.
Even in simpler cases it can be problematic. For example, refactoring a tiny bit of repetitive code into a separate function might seem like a good idea. But, over time, things diverge and now additional parameters and branches have to be introduced to support. A small amount of repeated code is optimal.

>>BUT, if you decide to sell them, you can't just sell them to a specific person over the counter. You'd have to sell on a market so that anyone can potentially buy them and potentially outbid your intended investor.

>So if I was looking for someone who would build a company with me, someone who would take on an entrepreneurial role, provide expertise, labour or personal connections, I wouldn't be allowed to do that. I wouldn't be allowed to give shares to employees in exchange for labour either. Nor would there be any family businesses.

A good market is an open market. If you look for someone with "certain expertise", you can offer that for money, while at the same time putting shares of your company on the market. The person could then buy the shares for money, and you can give him that money for his "expertise". But if someone else outbids that person on the shares, he will still get the money, but someone else gets the shares. If the person ONLY wants to work for those shares, and not for money, he will have to outbid the market price. If he doesn't want to outbid the market price, and you agree with that, you actually want to give him shares for free.

Safety from law breakers (speeders) is not a right in the US. 'Safety' isn't even a right. I'm not sure why you'd elevate someone's safety from a specific thing to a right yet make a person's autonomy a liberty. Also you're restricting the liberties of the driver (a specific, identifiable person in the case of non-autonomous vehicles) in favor of people who may not even exist (other drivers or pedestrians may not even be around) which seems draconian. When you pass these laws and restrictions, what are you giving up? Isn't someone's sense of self control and autonomy worth something to society?

Entirely correct, it's really unfortunate that this advice is not actionable for everyone. I was able to pull it off partly because I had enough saving and I lived alone.
At the end of the day we're the ones that have to put up with the rough edges of this software. File picker bug closed or not, the GTK file picker sucks to use. I don't have the ability to just swap it out in programs that use it, at least not within a reasonable amount of time or without significant maintenance of a forked codebase.
OK. I'm going to have to say something that many of you may already be thinking: unboxing an apple product is a bit like undressing a lover for the first time. Is it a coincidence that so many of their packaging materials have a skin-like quality (to achieve which they apply a varnish layer towards the end of their printing process)? Or that the vacuum cohesion effect as you pull that box apart feels like cloth upon skin?

The purchase moment of the act of product consumption is quite likely more satisfying than the ownership that follows.
"swap in a pdf or svg backend"

I am not sure, if I understand you right, but do you mean rendering to pdf or svg instead of the GPU?

If so, are there real world use cases?

"crushes Skia in performance without sacrificing a ton of capabilities"

Same question, what of those capabilities are really in use and needed? Linux GUIs in general are really not a beacon of light, in terms of performance or usability. I strongly suspect things could be better, if some bloat would be removed.

I am amazed with what is possible with PixiJS, a renderer for the Web, using WebGL and soon WebGPU. Having something simple, but powerful as the base, would be my way to go.
People keep saying this but I never really had any complaints of kde vs windows vs macos.

One of my favorite quotes is attributed to Saint Augustine:

It sort of applies, here, as well.

I struggle often to find the right tone and interpret it properly.

And I’m happy about Linux, GCC, Vim, Coretils and Gtk in general. GNOMEs keyboard centric usage is wonderful.

That said. I’m usually sad about public long term forks. Because they are not about learning or improvement but that people often failed to communicate. Yes, sometimes their targets are just differing.

Some of them are, some not as much. There are certainly more obvious poetic devices like a "murder of crows" yet there are still many other collective nouns that are more "legitimately" part of English - pack, herd, pod, flock, swarm, and school for example. You don't have to know these terms as using 'group' would be understood - but they are common enough in books / documentaries.
I'm torn. Variable fonts are neat, but they also lay bare how woefully complicated every single layer of our software stack is where even displaying a single glyph requires interpreting a Turing-complete programming language. As I get older I increasingly just want a more transparent and understandable system that does less, even if that means giving up bells and whistles like automagic font kerning.

Q: I purchased Capture One Express with my camera. How is it possible for you to deactivate my license?

A: While Capture One Express may have been bundled with certain cameras, it has always been available as a free software. The license provided with the camera purchase does not entail a monetary transaction for the software itself.

So what? Why the hell do you deactivate a bought product?

I have such a Fuji license, never used it much, but CaptureOne is still dead in perpetuity to me.

Show HN: Fasten Health – open-source Personal Health Record – 27,000 providers
Hey HN!

About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic condition and I realized that my medical history (and the medical history of my family members) is a lot more complicated than I realized. I need a single, private location to store our medical records, and I just couldn't find any software that worked as I'd like:

- self-hosted/offline - this is my medical history, I'm not willing to give it to some random multi-national corporation to data-mine and sell

- It should aggregate my data from multiple healthcare providers (insurance companies, hospital networks, clinics, labs) that I've used over my career/lifetime.

- automatic - it should pull my EMR (electronic medical record) directly from my insurance provider/clinic/hospital network - I don't want to scan/OCR physical documents (unless I have to)

- open source - the code should be available for contributions & auditing

So, I built it

Fasten Health is an open-source, privacy-first, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator, designed to integrate with 100,000's of insurance companies, healthcare providers and laboratories. It securely connects patient healthcare providers together, creating a personal health record that never leaves the patient's hands without their consent.

Fasten Health recently released v1 of our software and our desktop app was finally published in the App Store!

Your feedback & support would be incredibly helpful :)

Funny you should bring up that argument. I had a media PC that was running Linux, and it worked great. Then there was big security vulnerability discovered in I think the SSL implementation, and I needed to update the OS because it was connected to the internet.

Except, the new version of the OS included a new version of the kernel. This version of the kernel had a long standing bug that prevented the kernel booting on my CPU/motherboard combination.

I ended up switching to Windows which just continued to work, and be updated, for years until I replaced the computer with an Intel NUC. Which I also couldn't install Linux on because there was no driver support.

> every profession, including journalism, has its rotten apples

Referring to a professional person gone to the bad as a "rotten apple", meaning that most of the apples are fine, is a kind of malapropism. The full saying is: "One bad apple spoils the barrel". The claim is that corruption spreads if it is not opposed quickly and throughly.

It's an error to use the phrase to minimise the scale or severity of wrongdoing.
And (as a european) i'm reminded of the confusing american light switches which show a light when they are off. Oh, and they toggle in the wrong direction (up is on?).

By comparison, it's quite common here to have a switch with a lamp to indicate the light is on, which get used when the status of the light cannot be easily seen where the switch is located (e.g a switch for a light in the loft/outside light etc).
English has several of them for professions, e.g. waiter/waitress, aviator/aviatrix, actor/actress, but in modern English the masculine is always treated as neuter/generic. If I post an ad hiring an aviator, nobody would think that means means only men can apply either grammatically or factually, nor is anyone likely to correct me if I describe Natalie Portman as an actor instead of actress.

German can be weird in that the grammatical gender of a word doesn't always match the sex or gender of the person it describes. The most famous example is probably that das Mädchen (the girl) is grammatically neuter but unambiguously describes a female person. Nouns describing professions, however usually (always?) have a masculine and a feminine form and do describe the sex or gender of the person. An ad hiring a Fahrer would have the same meaning as "male driver" in English. That would be illegal sex discrimination in the USA or Germany.

The linked ad also included the following text, which has no connection to reality for the English translation:

> Note: In order to improve the readability of the text, the masculine form is used to refer to persons, functions, etc. However, it stands for all genders without exception.
Likewise, just because you are right in principle doesn't mean your actual comment is anything but rude and pointless.
I'm a bit surprised to learn this isn't common knowledge. Don't say anything when you're leaving. Don't say where you're going, do NOT do the exit interview (Or do it but give the most generic positive answers only). Give 2 weeks and comply with all the work requests your manager gives you to exit clean.

You might think it is sad it has to be this way, but this is business. You aren't breaking up with a romantic partner. There is only risk but disclosing more than needed.

Finance people have known this for a very long time.
"However, to say it was all just emotion and post-rationalization is to oversimplify"

Sure. I remember from Mein Kampf, where Hitler talks about his Antisemitism. His Intuition always advised against it, but with his rational mind, step by step he came to the logical conclusion, that yes, the jews are basically to blame for everything. (Interesting that he remarks, that his intuition left him for some years, after he made that "rational" decision)

It was twisted all around.
