0xd1r··on Show HN: A web browser agent in your Chrome side panel
How does it do so? Just DOM manipulation, viewport scanning or something of the sort?
0xd1r··on Show HN: A web browser agent in your Chrome side panel
Can it perform DOM manipilation as well, like fill forms or would the LLM response need to be structured for each specific site to use it on? And would an LLM be able to perform such a task?
0xd1r··on India launches attack on 9 sites in Pakistan and Pakistani Jammu and Kashmir
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/video/exclusive-journalist-s...

In reference to an interview of Pakistan's Defence Minister on Sky. If a country's own minister speaks of harboring terrorists, I think that is evidence enough.

0xd1r··on AI solves International Math Olympiad problems at silver medal level
> As part of our IMO work, we also experimented with a natural language reasoning system, built upon Gemini and our latest research to enable advanced problem-solving skills. This system doesn’t require the problems to be translated into a formal language and could be combined with other AI systems. We also tested this approach on this year’s IMO problems and the results showed great promise.

Wonder what "great promise" entails. Because it's hard to imagine Gemini and other transformer-based models solving these problems with reasonable accuracy, as there is no elimination of hallucination. At least in the generally available products.

I suppose they are using keras because of its simplicity. But I agree, things have really moved on from keras.
0xd1r··on Show HN: Hi.Events – Open-Source Event Management and Ticketing Platform
One of the best passion projects I've seen. Love that there's so many one-click deploy options.
0xd1r··on The Pen Hospital in Kolkata will nurse your broken fountain pen back
Indeed, quite lovely to see. Wish someone did a piece on 'Metro Gali', where there are people like this for cameras.

Ironic that this article is paywalled. Here's a non-paywalled link: https://archive.is/0C0RQ
0xd1r··on Nothing Phone says it will hack into iMessage, bring blue bubbles to Android
This reiterates the same fallacious argument large corporations use to put one over open-source. And since it sounds plausible to the layman, it is parroted by them. Quite shocking to see another example out and about.
0xd1r··on Bakhshali manuscript
Wasn't 1965, part of ALGOL W, but somewhere in the previous millenium, in a language meant for object-oriented tax collection.
0xd1r··on DuckDuckGo removed the ability to filter search results
I'm hoping that this is a commit that is reverted back, after some amount of backlash from the community, if at all this was intentional.

Else, it evokes the sentiment of riskynacho on the comment, "It's almost like DuckDuckGo wants to eliminate itself from being a safe useful alternative in the search engine competition."

0xd1r··on AMD ROCm: A Wasted Opportunity
It's really shocking that AMD fails to extend support natively.

Workarounds such as DirectML claim to be the answer in unifying people with NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, but thus far it hasn't, with issues such as [this](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectML/issues/58) constantly popping up.

As nicolaslem points out, Arch does have community packages for ROCm, but that, unsurprisingly fails to lend support to many consumer GPUs. The best community support I have come across are [rocm-opencl](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-openc... [rocm-hip](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-hip/) for Fedora maintained by [mystro256](https://github.com/Mystro256), who is a single AMD employee.Thanks to him, my AMD GPU (Radeon 6800XT) hasn't completely gone to waste, and I was able to tinker with some things (Gaming isn't really up my alley).

Lately however, after beginning to work on DGX V100s and A100s, and using my older laptop with a GTX 1650, it was apparent how simple setting up CUDA was, and how easily I could experiment with it on my consumer card. Many have spoken about similar stories, and here's mine. Really hope AMD does a whole lot more, and doesn't exclusively keep their powerful GPUs for gaming.
