Gemini: Capricorn
The int8 release is very capable and runs acceptably on consumer gpus
This kind of magic is the reason that I'm very itchy to be able to line up real work on Datomic or XTDB someday.
Very relatedly, I've just started reading the 'Culture' series of sci-fi space operas by Iain M Banks, and the notion of ubiquitous sentient, super-intelligent spacecraft and appliances hits differently than it would…
You seem a bit... political. What's your favorite tech stack?
Even more on the nose: https://youtu.be/LRq_SAuQDec?si=CAe210GZ_lKcc6_Y
Neat! I had been wondering if anyone was trying to implement a model in silico. We're getting closer to having chatty talking toasters every day now!
While I can TOTALLY believe that TikTok might be doing classification and censoring of uploads - tech issues that happen during notable events will INEVITABLY be interpreted as partisan censorship. A personal brush with…
Seconding Roborock - we have a mid range one and it's effective and a huge step up in smartness from my old Samsung. I love being able to dispatch it to one or two different rooms and walk away knowing that it will get…
YouTube is one from my experience. The team there had a pretty strong anti-orm stance. DB performance was an existential necessity during the early scaling. The object fetching and writing tended to be focused through a…
I get it... but you can pry my cloudflare-tunnel from my cold dead hands. I'm no stranger to hosting things 'the hard way', but I am not going back from my happy casual hosting where I just spin up a docker container,…
I did a pro bono analysis of a ddos against a dolphin protection non profit, probably a lashing out from a butthurt fishing concern. A significant amount of traffic in that attack originated from the stark asn.…
Dyes, glyphosate, seed oils... Yeah. I like olive oil, and don't want to eat glyphosate, but you're fixating on the tenuous unfalsifiable presumed linkage of their toxicity to population level health problems. I would…
Wonder how well it will work from chromium in Wayland. That is, I'm genuinely curious. Like is there any protocol or standard to mark a part of a DOM or a canvas as uncapturable? Up though the compositor and pipewire or…
Man, I had a hand-me-down Atari 800 with 48k. It was great, but I coveted the c64 with its crunchy cool sid sounds. Then I had a 486 vga pc that could barely scroll a game at 60fps (except for ones like jazz jackrabbit…
For what it's worth, I did check over many hundreds of them. Formatted things for side by side comparison and ordered by some heuristics of data nastiness. It wasn't a one shot deal at all. I found the ambiguous…
100% agree. I had Gemini flash 2 chew through thousands of points of nasty unstructured client data and it did a 'better than human intern' level conversion into clean structured output for about $30 of API usage. I am…
I'd consider drinking raw milk only if I was on a first name basis with the cow that produced it. Otherwise I would at least demand it be fermented into kefir so the food microbes can muscle out the bad.
I'll buy an expensive hat and eat it, though, if the chans aren't already crawling with sinister propagand-anon-automatons playing tug of war with the Overton window of edgelord discourse.
It's funny. I view it as a common modality of fraud among the 'cufflinked bozo with a sharp haircut' founder crowd. That is, they probably could have actually pulled off their business plan if they had any ability…
Or, more likely: "the wicked and deceptive establishment have yet again managed to sabotage the brilliant and noble efforts of America's best ever leader. The only way America can be saved now is to suppress these…
Why aren't we training llms to load the data into R/pandas/polars/duckdb and then interrogate it iteratively that way? It's how I do it. Why not our pet llm?
I had a lucky experience taking HS calculus the semester before as physics. I saw other students torturing themselves memorizing the formulae from the physics text and even then struggling to apply it to novel problems.…
I'm not convinced that this is more than the market having a jump-scare at an incremental leap in model building technique. Say DeepSeek has worked out how to do more with less - that's great! I don't think it means…
Sooooo.. how about venues just be required to provide affordable black unisex chess mumuu's for players as needed? Problem solved?
