Almost the same. The neat trick here is to ask the model to reply with just 1 letter, which is one token, rather than a long string of json. Its quicker. And just the fact that Jev made a pretty decent API for structuring your questions. And they do the massive parallelization.

The technique i mentioned in the blogpost works with video too. I tested succesfully with Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct. Effecient caching is a little trickier though, but very doable.

Ah, will try, thanks!

Fondly remember Beej's Guide to Network Programming back in the day :-)

Does anyone actually like Docker Desktop? I much preferred Docker before it had weird UI parts to too. Have since switched to Podman.

If anyone's interested in the really low level radio modulation bits too, you might enjoy this talk I gave at last years Defcon: https://youtu.be/SM1XSxP6W78

I wish all shops just have a clear email address. Id much prefer emailing over placing a voice call...

For those situations where you need just a little bit of protobuf in your project, and don't want to bother with the whole proto ecosystem of codegen and deps: https://github.com/allanrbo/pb.py

SIM=subscriber identity module. sim=simulator. :-)

I use Syncthing a lot. Is Garage only really useful if you specifically want to expose an S3 drop in compatible API, or does it also provide other benefits over syncthing?

Not free

No, again, just run VMs on your desktop/laptop. The software doesn't know or care if it's a rack mounted machine.

This seems absurd. Just apt install irssi. Why Docker for such a simple self contained tiny app?

Sometimes you are integrating with system that already use proto though. I recently wrote a tiny, dependency-free, practical protobuf (proto3) encoder/decoder.

Handmade by Jobs, not Woz?

Yes, Gnome on Ubuntu and Debian has had a built in rdp server for the last several releases: settings -> sharing -> Remote Desktop -> on

Syncthing

Would be fun to try to run Meshtastic on it.

I’m so confused by these guys. Stumbled upon them on YouTube and thought it was satire https://youtu.be/18cHBU05zK0

I think it is indeed a joke on microservices and the other commenters just didn’t get the joke yet :-)

Was looking for a demo of it on YouTube and fell over this hilarious one from a few months ago: https://youtu.be/coroLWOS7II?si=TeVghP_Zi0P9exQh . I’m sure it’s improved since :-)

Not quite like MS Flight Simulator 2020, but still impressive what can be done in JS!

Yea, same guy, Barry Kauler

Refreshing to see such a radically different take on a Linux distro. Probably too experimental for what I need, but I’m glad people are thinking outside the box!

https://spaceengine.org/ , though it’s partially fictional if I recall correctly. Edit: oh and not OSS. Misremembered.

If a human eye works at say 10 fps, then 8 minutes with a cat is about 10k images :-D

Been thinking... Why is AI even needed for a thing like this? Aren't there assistive tech API's for screen readers for people who are blind, that could be used to scrape all text from all windows, without resorting to OCR? Or maybe Electron apps break all of that...

Was looking for something like this some years back. Though I wanted Windows support too. Ended up switching to C++ to use wxWidgets, giving me small self contained binaries.
