Regardless of the official definition, the word “habitable” is highly subjective. Extremophiles like tardigrades can survive being frozen and/or completely dehydrated. A planet with an eccentric orbit like this one could hypothetically

Whelp, time to move to a small island in the middle of the Pacific.

Couldn’t the underlying tech be applied to non-novel proteins by a bad actor?

Yeah OWUI = Open Web UI. I was referring specifically to rcarmo’s setup though.

Wasn’t aware of LiteLLM, thanks! Are you using it instead of OWUI’s pipeline feature or alongside?

by connorgutman 2y ago
Correct. IMO the official Claude app is pretty garbage. Sonnet 3.5 API + Open-WebUI is amazing though and supports STT+TTS as well as a ton of other great features.

My degree in AgSci has nothing to do with farming?

I’m a programmer with a degree in Agricultural Science so my opinion is oddly relevant to this subject. Please shut up and stop shitting on people’s dreams. Not everything is about profit and scaling. Anyone can and should learn to farm reg

That’s an odd and hurtful statement to make towards a stranger online. Trust me none of this is a side show for me. I’m an agricultural scientist who deeply cares about global food security and part of that is going to have to be GMOs. The

You’re not wrong but this is akin to saying that we shouldn’t treat gunshot wounds because we need better gun control. We can do both.

You are philosophically correct but the flaw with this argument is time and $$$. With each passing year millions of people around the world die or go blind from vitamin A deficiency. Most of these cases are due to an over-reliance on white

Been furious about this one for years. When the alternative is death and/or going blind who the fuck cares if there’s side effects? No one is saying it should end up in American grocery stores without proper testing but it could save a

Regardless of emergence, in the context of "putting safety at the frontier" I would expect Claude 3 to be augmented with very basic tools like calculators to minimize such trivial hallucinations. I say this as someone rooting for

This is targeted towards GPU rental services like RunPod as well as API providers such as together AI. Together.ai is charging $0.90/1M tokens at 70B parameters. https://www.together.ai/pricing

Same thing with Ollama.

I’m not against using technology but my concern is that we need to treat resource consumption as a form of addiction. Humanity frequently uses technology as an excuse to further consume instead of using it to pay off ecological debt.

by connorgutman 3y ago
We desperately need to focus on conservation efforts instead of attempting to engineer "solutions" that only end up encouraging further consumption. Hot take: Maybe the American SouthWest wasn't meant to support > 1/3

Oh boy, an opportunity to flex my AgSci degree oh HN! The invention of the HB process is more akin to a planetary credit card loan. It has done absolutely nothing to increase the Earth's *genuine* carrying capacity and (IMO) trapped hu

Exactly this.

Love this example! In general the way Gentoo handles masked packages also highlights this point. The system will kindly warn you if something is wrong, but it will never stop you from doing what you want. --autounmask also makes it dead sim

Depends upon the device. I typically opt for compiling the Linux kernel myself but certain devices (like my Lenovo x60s) would absolutely melt if I compiled it from scratch. Thankfully, Gentoo offers gentoo-kernel-bin. Meanwhile my brand ne

Absolutely not... but hear me out. NetBSD plans on supporting 32-bit x86 until "long after 2038 ( http://www.netbsd.org/about/ )." Legacy hardware matters for many reasons. Outside of the fact that I still love

by connorgutman 3y ago
Not really the point I was trying to make. Gentoo still fully supports obscure architectures such as IA64 and PowerPC 32-bit while Debian dropped both back in 2018 and 2020. Hell, not only does Gentoo still support them but the handbooks ar

by connorgutman 3y ago
Perhaps I was being overly harsh. That being said, there is a certain philosophy of non-intervention which gives Gentoo a sense of freedom that other distributions lack. It’s not only about diverse support, it’s about allowing the user to c

Definitely a lot of crossover. However, there are several things that make Arch unusable for me. The #1 thing is that Arch only officially supports AMD64. Additionally, while I find Arch’s documentation better than most, it’s hard to unders
