No. It will happen again the only thing that will change is the amount of water and debris. More or less people will die depending on the incentives to live in the district. Humans should not inhabit those valleys.

Huh? I mean, if you look at the actual damage reports you see quite a bit of energy taken of both Nepal and Chinese grids. Further deduction leads to the obvious conclusion that hydroelectric generation in the district is VERY important.

The point is that we have a group of humans that are incentivized to live in an area that isn't safe to live, full stop. Said with tongue firmly planted in cheek: "The Himalayas are the highest, youngest, and most unstable mountai

I completely disagree. The variables in these situations are WELL known. The difference is scale, and in the Himalayas there is no cost effective, completely safe way to deal with them. The hydroelectric potential in that part of the world

What do you need to track? I have a personal app I call Genomicly where I am, quite amateurishly, trying to replicate MaxGen panel and similar precision medicine with whoop, and LabCorp integration. My main goal is privacy which is tricky w

A good index is a software and LLM problem if using the LLM for indexing. Are you looping "agents" in an embedding and encoding cycle before retrieval? There are thousands of RAG agents at this point and RAG is still not super gre

by monkmartinez 1mo ago
I don't think so, but could be wrong. It seems to be a specialized layer like a lora or a merged model. So a RAG-agent-model thingy. No clue if it actually works. I don't understand why I would want to use it.

Qwen3.6-27B has been the main LLM powering my little agentic stack. I have adopted the test and verify approach to any models allowed to run on my machine. When the "heretic" version drops, I will fire up the harness and test. Sup

I am not sure why you are downvoted. This is absolutely a MAJOR fucking problem in the US. I work with strong men and women that almost all have dental issues. We have "amazing" insurance as professional firefighters in most juris

This is so easy to do because we are unable to contemplate every edge case at the time of inception right? At least that is what I am telling myself as I brick myself on a "manifest driven system" that surely will detect drift as

Crazy that Gemma need double the amount of tokens to marginally beat Qwen.

My thinking is totally aligned with yours, perhaps its because I am trying to do a second act at almost 50 from blue-collar to white collar office work. I have no formal degree, but I have been hobby programming for 20 years. I have made a

Not really an article, but yeah, I was hoping they went into the underlying mechanism a bit deeper. This paper could be confirmation of what localllamaians have been saying for months; Keep your harness surface small, allow the model to use

How do you sign up for the beta? I would even construct a landing platform in my backyard for them. I love this idea sooooo much!

Why so political? I don't understand why so many people focus on Trump and Left and Right and all the theater of politics in general. Subtract the politics from TFA and it is really, really good. The author and I agree on some "po

Does Apple have an explicit guarantee that apps can not scam or data siphon from an iPhone or iPad app?

I hope you get traction with your letter, it is vitally important and one of the main reasons I stopped using Obsidian. I had maybe 10 plugins and they managed to step all over each other. One would break sync, another would break some them

Nailed it. To make matters worse, Ollama obfuscate the models so their users don't really know what they are running until they dig into the model file. Only then can they see that what they thought was Deepseek-r1 is actually an 8B qw

I can not answer for GG, but the early days of llama.cpp were crazy and everything was so very hacky. Remember, Textgen-webui was 'the way' to run models at first because it supported so many different quant types and file extensi

How do you know you have the right application to open the file? I have tried at least a dozen apps to open *.stl files... some work, most don't. Some have features I need and don't work opening files. Some are sensitive to stl&#x

Do you use "files"? Its garbargio on steroids. You can't just open a <insert about 100 file extensions here> file from the files app. Moving files around is cumbersome at best and downright infuriating most of the time.

My parents use their iPad(s) for 100% of their compute needs. At 70+ years old, they will tell you those needs are minimal. If you use one program at a time, do not need an actual file system, have no need to install software from a variety
