So the author recycled 10 pounds of plastic, but used 8.5 pounds of glue to do so (184 sticks at 0.74 oz which seems to be average for glue sticks). Cool project, but that ratio seems very ineffective. Especially since there is a realistic

We've been running YOLO for a number of years (since v5) on soccer videos. None of the recent iterations have been significantly better, with v26 scoring worse then v9 and v11 on our tasks. Makes me wonder why this version is being pus

We happened to be in Borsh beach around a week or so ago, and that will be a tourist wreck in 2 years. Multiple working sites, 70% of the beach already claimed by beds. Quite laid-back in May / start of June, but I do not want to be th

Very interesting idea, I hope you can progress this into a well working, proven application. I tried to do something very similar a year or 2 ago, more directed towards meditation. (Ie as a helper that uses breath to detect a wandering mind

This seems exactly not what you want. If fully invested in this, you never have the freedom to switch tools, ie go to a different team chat solution. The benefits of having these apps in one UI / ecosystem are relatively small: files -

This is sort of what their first sentence states? Except your line implies that they are fast in training and inference, they imply they are focusing on inference and are dropping training speed for it. It's a nice opening as it is imo

And here I am, feeling slightly ashamed at taking 1 or 2 flights a year. These "commute" statistics are staggering.

Cost wise it does not seem very effective. .5 token / sec (the optimized one) is 3600 tokens an hour, which costs about 200-300 watts for an active 3090+system. Running 3600 tokens on open router @.4$ for llama 3.1 (3.3 costs less), is

Which seems weird, it's very technical. Monolith design, relationship types, I've never met an HR person who wondered about those kinds of things

Surprising how badly Jetbrains implemented AI. Apparently to such an extent that even after multiple years of LLM's someone felt confident enough to build a company that can do better. This looks really neat, interesting technical writ

Cool social experiment. It's interesting how narrow the scope of all top voted PRs are: change this or that detail in the voting (daily, count down votes etc), or make it more efficient (rust). I wonder if this has the potential to bui

Is the dependancy on Cloudflare worth the saved time in infrastructure? Getting a big bare metal and deploying a docker should go a long way. This implementation sounds fully dependant on a service that Zed has little to say about.

Super easy? Getting that setup for the first time from zero knowledge will probably take a few days. And that's before understanding all the intricacies like your AWS bill, the hidden costs of cloud, properly securing IAM and setting u

Which is peanuts compared to the 350 million that the VCs invested. You're totally right, but I think the internal financial pressure is higher.

I'm using it for a 10.000+ multisite installation (quite simple personal blogs), and even though it has it quirks it works quite well. Almost nothing is best in class and a slight pain to get it working, but the sheer size of the ecosy

This is a bit too much of an apples vs oranges. Use cases for PHP (easy to develop, maintain websites) are different from those for Go and Rust. Obviously, PHP came from a place of great inconsistency, and the remains are still there, inclu

I think they do. Given the damage that leaked keys can do (especially in the Bitcoin mining area) it must be an expensive problem for them.

Exactly. Like so many popular non-fiction books these days, there's about 15 pages of content fluffed up with 200 pages of anecdotes to be able to sell it as a book.

http://nonint.com/ has some interesting posts about how he build a custom server to house 8 GPU's (3090's in this case). You're right that that will set you back more than $1000, though I was only referring t

Reading the timeline at the bottom makes this seem like a very frustrating process, it took multiple nudges and over a year for Valve to even start fixing. I can't imagine putting in this much work and getting such a lackluster respons

Some people use second hand P40 GPUs, which go for around 200-300$. Combine 3 of them with SLI and you've got 72GB of VRAM for less then $1000

At some point it becomes a serious tradeoff. It will definitely excel in finding niche solutions, in bringing up that one mechanism that's rarely used but very relevant in some case. It cannot say "I don't know" and will

Cloudflare bot protection adds a slight delay (as in seconds) at best, and completely blocks users like the parent comment at worst. It costs no money, but isn't free either.

Probably a URL and title and perhaps a bit of readable content would be enough for chatgpt 3 to classify the page type. There was a show HN here a couple of days ago that used chatgpt to create a scraper based on a webpage. Hook the 2 toget

The difference between your search query and theirs is clearly the level of expertise. Chatgpt has a great use case when you get started on a new subject; even with a very cluncky description it can point you into the core concepts of any f

I'd even argue that if you are given a bunch of code of which 20% is incorrect, it's going to take more than 20% time to fix that. If you've written 100%, you know what the code is doing, what kind of data the variables are s
