Maybe not 10x; but it's fantastically talented at intuiting intent, reconstructing contexts, and making aligned judgement calls. You could throw Fable utter garbage and get great results. Fable felt like it was modeling me whereas gp

See my other comment in this thread! I've got you covered; launching open models in ~1month. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey, good news! Pollination ecologist + ML guy here; with open models coming soon. You can keep an eye on (gh) polli-labs/linnaeus (a bit stale; I'll rebase on my private repo later tonight-). There's some cool ideas in here

Rip2 is another useful alternative: https://github.com/MilesCranmer/rip2 I have a small wrapper around rip2, aliased to `recycle`; files go to a `graveyard` zfs dataset. I deny `rm` usage for agents, a simple (global)

oh man that's awesome. I have been working for quite some time on big taxonomy/classification models for field research, espec for my old research area (pollination stuff). the #1 capability that I want to build is audio input mod

I've owned 17 Seagate ST12000NM001G (12TB SATA) drives over the last 24mos in a big raidz3 pool. My personal stats, grouping by the first 3-4 SN characters: - 5/8 ZLW2s failed - 1/4 ZL2s - 1/2 ZS80 - 0/2 ZTN - 0&#x2

Sure. The talk about 8bit refers to quantization-aware training. Pretty common in image models these days to reduce the impact of quantization on accuracy. Typically this might mean that you simulate an 8bit forward pass to ensure that the

I haven't managed to successfully export my custom ViT model yet, but I've not had an issue accessing the export methods in torch 2.3 within the nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:24.02-py3 container. I may have some more time to de

I've pasted QR codes on the backs of bees before! Unfortunately we started this project a week before COVID so we didn't get to see it through, but the actual gluing is easier than you might think. Doesn't look like they used

YMMV, but I have tried this several times and have found it very difficult without microsoldering equipment. Some ESP variants have a built-in U.FL connector which makes things easier (e.g. AITHINKER ESP32-Cam and its many clones), but you

Not to mention that you can trivially set a 300w power cap on the 4090 and still get 75-80% of peak FLOPS.

Various hibernation modes are great, but 300ma@5v sometimes feels too hungry for the amount of computation in there. I bet things would be better if it wasn’t 45nm ‘pitch’. They are great chips, but require more power than you might expect

We don’t have the data to make much more than directional claims re: macro trends in insect biodiversity. Ecological monitoring is tedious and labor-intensive; insects are simply too minute, too diverse, and too numerous to be surveilled at

Firefox reliably remembers my tabs, but never my pinned tabs-- which, of course, are the ones that I actually want to be preserved across restarts. In my dream world, pinned tabs persist forever, and are even accessible across devices, perh

FF with Sidebery is nearly perfect, except that it seems that persisting pinned tabs across sessions is an alien technology that nobody has quite figured out.

The things others are pointing out (esp. selective grazing) are all factors. Not sure how well-evidenced this is, but something I've heard from relevant researchers is that bison hooves are more scoop-link vs. cattle hooves. Bison more

The article states “The first base edit disabled the T-cells targeting mechanism so they would not assault Alyssa's body”. Not an expert but I presume the ‘targeting mechanism’ is the T-cell receptor, whose activation is necessary (but

My friend, shoot me an email and I’d love to chat. My present situation is not all that dissimilar to what you describe. I have been in a MSc program for the past 2 years which has continually threatened to drain all the life-force out of m

It is silly that we naively define diversity by what is trivially measurable, which tends you can determine of a person without knowing anything of their person. Give me a campus with humanistic diversity. Let us lower the entropy of the in

But it may cause spontaneous ejaculation while distance running! I did not seek out a refill for that prescription. Of course, YMMV. But first, make sure your sleep, diet, and exercise are sources of strength, not weakness. Try to unplug &a

Lack of Drive integration was what kicked me to finally self-host a Seafile instance.

Oh yeah, most importantly-- Linux is treated as a 1st class citizen, the sync clients are equally performant b/w platforms in my experience. In contrast to Nextcloud, Seafile is really good at one thing-- file sync&share-- and the

I've been very happy with self-hosting a Seafile instance to serve as a personal cloud for myself and a small academic ML team. I built a small NAS, Proxmox runs on baremetal, on top of which there's an ubuntu VM running a Seafile
