I couldn't get it working with lmstudio. I have bonsai-8B running with llama-cpp and am attempting to build a harness for it. Looking good so far, I just got it started but Forge made tool calling work pretty quickly!

Very impressive. Unsure what is going on with the tool icons, they're a bit strangely named. "Bessel", "pour corner" (twice), "From the cross section". Looks like some work needs to be done to get this int

I always see articles about the decreasing cost of solar, but where are these costs collected from? Is it just not available at a consumer level? Maybe I missed the sources in the article somewhat...

I think this just illustrates why hidden state is so difficult for the user. It's hard to replicate old calculators because it was poor UI that was making do with what was yet available.

I've read this many times over the years, sort of enamored by how such a strange phenomenon popped out of a factory setting. In the most 2016 update the relative says it's common to see weird effects from the spools. If it's

I like to preface negativity with a positive note. Maybe I am influenced in my word choice but my intent was to point out that this is a very, very impressive feat and I don't want to undermine it.

While it is impressive and I like to follow the advancements in this field, it is incredibly frustrating to listen to. I can't put my finger on why exactly. It's definitely closer to human-sounding, but the uncanny valley is so de

Guardrails seems to be a common argument. It feels heavy handed though to use an entire library/ecosystem to ensure you don't have typos, your tests should catch them anyhow. And migrations are a separate feature that a number of

It looks like as an ORM gets more expressive it looks more like regular SQL. What is a reasonable argument for using an ORM over writing SQL? I always feel like I'm missing something because it looks like you have to learn a specific l

Agreed. I think the earlier days of Angular put a bad taste in many people's mouths. Many people who complain about Angular being verbose seem to only have experience working on smaller apps.

I thought this was a joke at first. He says he "feels great" but I can't help but be skeptical about that claim. Maybe I'm soft because I think a 40 is reasonable and prudent.

To say it another way, you should not expect more code to be merged in the same amount of time as less code. 250 lines is 5x more code, so what is the purpose of a statistic showing 1/5 of the code gets merged faster? That's not a

"Your current suffering is small because somebody else suffered more." Or, more commonly, "You think you have it hard? I know a guy who went through XYZ." Sometimes people need perspective when they feel times are tough,

I am curious if there has been any research on temporal attention in humans. I'm not sure how you'd quantify it. But in myself I know that I'm constantly predicting where something will be or what it will look like based on h

This looks like the video equivalent of Dall-E 1. Hard to believe how far we've come so quickly. The paper talks about "pseudo 3D attention layers" that are used in place of temporal attention layers for each dimension due to

I feel it's the typical HN reaction to be negative about generated content. I enjoyed it. I think it could have used another pass on editing but I felt the idea was interesting and I wanted to hear it through.

This is something I have noticed with a lot of models. I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but when there is a repeated sequence of human input with model generation following (like a chatbot) it seems to be unable to focus

If it was the ratio being studied, could you instead increase your n3 fat consumption?

This is my major gripe with the college courses I took. They start at the molecular level and build to the planetary scale. This works for some people, but for me I had the hardest time finding a personal interest until I got to the applica

There are a lot of jobs listed there with zero benefits listed in the actual job listing. You have to scroll >1/2 down the page to find out what the benefits are and those are fairly vague. Why isn't there at least compensation

Ben Stokes is an inspiration to me. I get excited reading any of the TinyProjects posts. It's so refreshing to see a solo dev building and shipping so much. Hoping I'm tracking for that kind of ability as a full stack dev.

I really like them as well. I enjoy them as a digital art form. From what I understand, Scott Turner (Here Dragons Abound) got his inspiration from Martin O'Leary[0]. Lots of interesting reading on his site. Another one in current deve

We are in a very similar situation. We've given up so many niceties of modern housing to be able to build. Currently we live in a trailer that was in disrepair years ago. It's a stepping stone to our eventual home. I feel you on t

It was that 'carrying the family flag of engineering' thing. This notion that engineering was a safe bet and I should do it if I could. Very little to do with my actual interests. Not to say I don't enjoy electrical engineeri

I should mention that coding had been an early interest of mine. In middle school I put custom firmware on my PSP so that I could use a homebrewed version of YouTube to watch a series of "Learning C++ From Scratch" videos at night

This resonated with me. I actually took that road construction job as a flagger. I stood there turning that stop sign back and forth, directing traffic, for a whole summer. I felt, and still feel it was the lowest point of my career. My bra
