Ask HN: CPU-based LLM for Markdown editor
I've developed a free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor and would like to integrate an LLM into its ancillary podman container (that's used for typesetting). The editor can be used for writing novels and technical documents. A few areas where the integration may help:

* Grammar check

* Idea generation

* Rephrasing passages

* Translating short snippets

Requirements:

* Free, open source, MIT/Apache/BSD/etc. license

* Local only (no cloud)

* GPT-4 quality (or very close)

* Fallback to CPU, if GPU unavailable (or CPU-based)

* Trained on public works (no copyright material)

* Container-friendly (i.e., works with podman)

* No Python, if at all possible (not a deal-breaker)

Is there something that could be integrated at this time, or would you suggest waiting until the end of the year to see what shakes out?
I use our old iPad mounted to the fridge with velcro command strips to interface with Home Assistant. I thought the wife was going to hate it, but she loves it more than I do.
Oops... Yep, I missed that too. (On the internet, no one knows you're a dog.)

That's funny. It makes me wonder how these statistical mad libs machines will handle the gradual boundaries nature gives us. Almost all mammals give birth live, but not all. Nearly all mammals had mammalian parents, but not all.

Daniel Dennett was making this argument for why we haven't developed reasonable models for the nature of consciousness. It's because we're so sure there will be an absolute classification, and not a gradual accumulation of interacting systems that together yield the phenomenon.
Might be nice to adjust per-capita if that information is available.

did that book receive any kind of proofreading itself?.. Many pop-science authors manipulate studies results to push narrative.
Thanks, I didn't realize port knocking could be done manually like this as a way to "unlock" an eventual regular ssh attempt outside the browser. This makes sense now and is super clever!
Suggested reality check: Since the very modest house will be torn down anyway, Michigan should offer it (free, shipping not included) to any credible museum or historical group that wants it.

My bet: No takers. "You should preserve history!" is cheap & performative; actual preservation is thankless hard work.
Definitely some fun project to try
Where do you live that you can buy Raspberry Pis at that price? Sorry, but last time I checked, either everything was out of stock, limited to single piece orders, or way above MSRP. When I checked the local marketplace (not eBay), people sold them for above MSRP, used! Imagine that. Used product for more than MSRP. In the electronics space. Crazy.

I've been at meals where common ground is attempted... you end up with things like cauliflower mashed potatoes. Yes, there's technically some overlap, but people on low-fat WFPB diets often have good short and long term results so there's not an incentive to keto-ize it.

For example, I just ran 4 marathons in 5 weeks in my late 40s eating mostly WFPB. That's good-enough health for me.
Hah yep, I figured it out after reading the superuser post which led me to some ancient electrical engineer stuff.

It’s just a feeling that consciousness has to derive from something, and there may be a conservation of consciousness similar to the conservation of energy.

It also might explain how there seem to be different levels of consciousness. In a lower level of consciousness, the brain is acting like a poor lens.

I think we don’t know what consciousness is, but I posit that it is something more substantial than a bunch of electrochemical reactions, although it seems like electrochemical reactions are necessary for its existence as far as we can tell.

I'm a lot more confident in my own consciousness than I am of the universe's, but to be honest I'm not entirely convinced of either.

I think the bit that's throwing me is the jump from "we know that consciousness exists" to "therefore the universe as a whole must be is conscious" but I bet I'm misinterpreting this somewhat.

I'm not worried. I think the US does need to reduce deficit spending by a combination of higher taxes and reduced spending. Maybe it will do this sooner, maybe later, not much I can do about it. Looking at debt-to-GDP ratios the U.S. could do better, but it isn't crazy compared to others. Financially, I own stocks and a house. Why? Those companies make products and sell them to the world and the house has a fixed 2.625% interest rate, why not.
Naive knocking isn't good as a primary security mechanism, but it lowers your attack surface and adds defense in depth.

It means that people who can't intercept traffic can't talk to the ssh server-- and that's most attackers at the beginning phases of an attack. And even someone who can intercept traffic needs to wait for actual administrative activity.

I am 100% convinced that Trump Media is Trump's endgame graft. He stands to make literally billions upon billions of dollars from this unabashed scam, and I think selling MAGA suckers shares in his MAGA "Social media platform" might be the entire point of his political career thus far. He's long talked about wanting to start a media company, and I think the whole point of his run at the presidency was to validate whether people would pay attention to him at scale, which unfortunately has been thoroughly proven by this point, so now it's all about converting that attention into cash the most effective way possible for that's only accessible to the world's wealthiest folks, which is selling suckers shares in some pump and dump scheme.

This is good reasoning, but from where did you get the requirements? After having read Annaka Harris’ “Conscious” and Philip Goff’s “Galileo’s Error”, it seems plausible to me (and the most logically simple resolution) that panpsychism explains the universe.

I.e., in the vain search for the place to draw “the line” between what animals or systems are conscious and which aren’t, (viruses? Amoebas? The smallest insect?) what if consciousness can be seen as a property of existence? Then, clearly, different systems (such as humans) have wildly different experiences (a.k.a. contents of consciousness) than rocks or shrimp or trees etc., but if you take Thomas Nagel’s phrasing for this—that if there is something it is like to be a rock or a shrimp or a tree, then that is conscious—then it seems to me that there IS something that it is like to be the cosmos.

> going in a lockdown is the prevention measure to avoid mortality rate in the double digits…

Huh? Mortality rate is the mortality rate, its independent of a lockdown; unless more vulnerable people are "locking down" at rates different than less vulnerable ones, but at that point we're not talking about a "lockdown".

The purpose of the COVID lockdown wasn't to suppress the mortality rate; it was to suppress the total infected/mortality.

Business' needs are clear. Handle payroll, handle data analysis, conduct sentiment analysis of our brand across social media, identify problems. Do this effectively and at a far lower price than what a human would agree to work for.

AI isn't moving the needle much here, which is why GenAI "solutions" are underwhelming things like support chatbots, writing assistance and auto-generated stock art for Facebook ads.

There's nothing wrong with doing that a service but it falls well short of the fantastical visions that Microsoft, OAI and SV at large have portrayed.
Most “keto friendly foods” are part of the Mediterranean diet, the main difference is really a matter of cutting out foods that spike insulin and managing the marcos for ketosis. So the emphasis is on fats from the Mediterranean diets like fish, olive oils, meat, and nuts. It’s not like green vegetables (and other low glycemic vegetables) from the Mediterranean diet aren’t permitted.
That depends on the time difference between when it becomes transmissible and when it causes death. If it's short, it won't spread much. If it's long, it'll spread all over the place.

If the charger is nearby an errand, you can match it to your charging time.

I don't really agree - I think its more the case that the build system should be able to prove that tests and test files cannot influence the built artifact. Any test code (or test binary files) going into the produced library is a big red flag.

It's worth pointing out that if Ansar Allah succeeded in liberating Palestine, their next action would be to burn down all the mosques --- Palestinians are overwhelmingly Sunni (and Hamas is an explicitly Sunni organization), and Ansar Allah is at war with Sunnis in Yemen, where it has been destroying mosques for the last year.

>you're entirely discounting any amount of time saving up, like a 22 year old graduate that rents for 13 years and then after saving up for that time decides to dump 300k into property

So that 22 year old starts out making the median, pretty good. Thats' 25k/year in 2010. 13 years later he's kept up and is making 39k now. He's supposed to have saved 300k to dump into a house in that time? That's probably more than 100% of his take home pay during that time period.

This would be just to allow you to connect to the server. If there was a vulnerable sshd on port 22, an adversary would have to know the port knocking sequence to connect to sshd and run the exploit.
It's worth also noting that the spycraft involved a coordinated harassment campaign of the original maintainer, with multiple writing styles, to accelerate a transition of maintainership to the attacker:

Utilitarian ideology aside, that rock isn't worth 190k, or 80k or even 1k. It's not that pretty. I'd have a hard time parting with $50 unless I thought I could sell it to someone else tomorrow for more - and there lies the rub. The argument goes that the market sets the value, but this is not a case of that. If one foolish person miscalculates and overpays for an item, the market value for that item doesn't recalibrate to what they paid. There's no market for the item at the new price but that's how these sellers paint it. They pull value from thin air not from scarcity or precision skill but simply by conning the naive. It's a scam plain and simple, wrapped up in superfluous details to sow confusion

As a Texan, if you depend on our elected people to keep you informed about anything important you're probably backing the wrong horse.

Unelected people like public health experts should always be important parts of any discussions about issues that affect the health and safety of all members of a community. They can work with elected representatives to help define policy and guidelines that protect our property and keep us all employed and healthy.

Ignoring the input of unelected experts is dangerous to society and leads to exactly the conditions we have now where people chose sides based on partisan identity politics instead of solid pandemic management principles.

We can't elect everyone who should have a voice in defining policy but we can consult them and take advantage of their expertise and skills when bad things happen.

You don't gripe when other disasters like prairie fires require evacuation notices do you? Those people are also unelected. They are also recognized experts at their trades who spend their careers trying to keep us all safe.
