ValleZ··on App to Run LLMs on Android
One way to run LLM on android phone is to run ggerganov/llama.cpp in console like termux and it works quite well but is not super convenient. I was working on the app to make running on-device LLMs more user friendly, please try it out!

ValleZ··on Ex-Meta employee says his warnings of Instagram's harm to teens were ignored
Next step is to ban your google account when you send something that can be classified as not positive, right?

ValleZ··on Passwords Are Fine
Password is something you know and pass key(or a physical key) is something that you own.
ValleZ··on Passwords Are Fine
How do you know that the product you use was built from the provided sources?
ValleZ··on Passwords Are Fine
Because users who lost account because of lack of 2FA usually require attention and support resources. It’s easier to require more security than to figure out if this is a legitimate user who is trying to get access.
ValleZ··on Passwords Are Fine
You are not if you use 2FA.

ValleZ··on Yandex ‘leak’ reveals search ranking factors
Pages are sorted by page rank, you pick first 10-100k pages and sort using other factors, then take first 10-100 results and sort using most costly factors.
ValleZ··on Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked
Why do you think this way exactly? Yandex did own news service they were forced to take news only from state approved sources but besides that I don't think your statement is correct.
ValleZ··on Devpod: Remote development environment at Uber
Most developers in Uber use local builds anyway because of input lag. Dev pods were mostly good to prevent laptop from working at 100% fan volume at all times though.
ValleZ··on Google’s “million’s of search results” are not being served
It shows not the number of shown results which is pretty much same for any query, but number of all pages that contain the keywords. It is not really feasible to rank and show millions of pages, but is possible to do that for few hundred pages. This is why search engines work fast.
ValleZ··on Anonymous Search Engine
Interesting fact you obtain when you create a GP search engine - getting a reasonable results for “gmail” and “google news” is not trivial )
ValleZ··on I’m switching from VS Code to VS Codium
And since you don't use an IDE you can try to spend this time on exploring what an IDE can do. If you really write code you can write code 10-100x faster.
ValleZ··on I’m switching from VS Code to VS Codium
Did you try any IDE from Intellij? Just spend 30 minutes on exploring what can it do out of the box.
ValleZ··on I’m switching from VS Code to VS Codium
This is because most developers are not willing to learn even basic code completion and refactoring functions in IDE. When you write constructors and getters by hand in Intellij Idea, chances are you won’t pay for that.
ValleZ··on Show HN: I'm building a non-profit search engine
Actually I doubt that this is a true statement and not something to discourage others. Check out these queries: https://www.google.com/search?q=1 12B results https://www.google.com/search?q=an 9B results https://www.google.com/search?q=the 6B results If we estimate that about half of all English pages contain 'the' or 'an' article we'll have about 15B English pages. If half of all pages contain the '1' then the total number of pages is about 24B. If half of all the pages are in English then the total number of all the pages is 30B. So even the maximum is less than the "hundreds". Similar numbers are at https://www.worldwidewebsize.com/

HDD is definitely not enough because of low iops, likely Google keeps index in RAM. I think NVME should be good enough, idk for sure.
ValleZ··on Show HN: I'm building a non-profit search engine
I'd estimate that Google uses ~1000 TB of fast storage, Bing 500 TB and Yandex 100 TB, so the most basic useful search engine would use at least... 10 TB?
ValleZ··on Mina: Cryptocurrency Protocol with a Succinct Blockchain
I wonder if you can have a full Mina node on any device including low-end phones, keep full network state and do payments in same time? It sounds too good to be true...
ValleZ··on California tried to save the nation from tax filing, then Intuit stepped in
OMG, PFIC is a nice pitfall.
ValleZ··on California tried to save the nation from tax filing, then Intuit stepped in
Sure, if a professional struggles with it it's by definition not easy. It was however easier then the complex part: I was moving between states separately from my spouse when we were both working full time. This could not be properly handled by any online service available (yes, I tried at least 4 different) and I ended up with filling forms manually by myself. It should not be this hard in first place. And yes, likely there are a lot of pros who can file it easily but finding anyone who is good in what he is doing is not easy.

I paid 600 usd last year fora tax accountant. He couldn't even do the most easiest part (1040 with stocks and dividend), and after struggling with him we didn't even proceed with the multistate reports I needed. It was complete waste of time and if I didn't check the result it would be also a waste of money and potential criminal action.

How do you do that? Even when your code has no memory allocations sockets still leak memory.
ValleZ··on Can 1/3 and 1/3 = 2/6? It seemed so
I don't understand why this simple 2nd grade math is featured on hacker news. I guess the next topic will be a long discussion what would be 1/2 divided by 2/3.
ValleZ··on W64devkit: A Portable C and C++ Development Kit for Windows
Is this really easy? I spent days lately trying to compile popular library on Mac for all platforms (Win, Linux) only to figure out that it is MUCH easier just to set up bunch of dockers/VM and compile it there. I suspect it is close to impossible to compile the library (LevelDB) for Linux on a Mac.
