enoch2090··on Apple's Dimensional Drawings
For accessory manufacturers?
enoch2090··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
It's totally valid if the models want to pack words tight during their thinking process, as long as the final conclusion (which is the interface to user) is written in HUMAN LANGUAGE, then I don't care whether the model thinks in alien language
enoch2090··on Herdr: Agent multiplexer that lives in your terminal
You can achieve this with features that Tmux already have. Glued a tool that works:

enoch2090··on Obsidian plugin was abused to deploy a remote access trojan
You better delete all third-party applications for they are having full disk access.
enoch2090··on Meta Segment Anything Model 3
Looking forward to your progress! Just checked the paper and it says the underlying backbone is still DETR. My guess would be that SAM3 uses more video frames during the training process and caused the dilution of sparse engineering-paper-like data.
enoch2090··on Launch HN: Onyx (YC W24) – Open-source chat UI
GW! How does Onyx differ from Open WebUI and its alike?
enoch2090··on Meta Segment Anything Model 3
Surprisingly, SAM3 works bad on engineering drawings while SAM2 kinda works, and VLMs like Qwen3-VL works as well
enoch2090··on Nvidia DGX Spark: great hardware, early days for the ecosystem
Although a bit off the GPU topic, I think Apple's Rosetta is the smoothest binary transition I've ever used.
enoch2090··on Ollama Web Search
That's the essence of these services, they never explicitly mention the quota, or secretly lowers it at some point.
enoch2090··on Neural Graffiti – Liquid Memory Layer for LLMs
Played with the demo a bit and I got confused.

1. The chat context is always provided, and that introduces a bit of uncertainty - when the chat history mentioned something the model is always inclined to connect with it.

2. When I tried to set each context to an empty string, the model doesn't show any evidence of remembering concepts. I told it 5 times that I love cats, and when asked about its favorite animal, its output remains "honeybee" and "octopus".

enoch2090··on File Pilot: A file explorer built for speed with a modern, robust interface
Can't wait to replace my explorer with this, hope the support will come soon
enoch2090··on File Pilot: A file explorer built for speed with a modern, robust interface
Looks pretty good but all CJK characters are displayed as questionmarks (???) and switching to a CJK native font does no help. So my user folder is now crowded with ???????? which makes it hard to navigate :(
enoch2090··on Ask HN: Any way to borrow compute from Apple M1
For llama3 just ask him to install ollama and serve the model. Ollama has auto memory management and will free the model when not used, and whenever you make a call to the API (do let your friend know before you do this) ollama will reload the model back to memory again.

Not sure whether there are anything similar for SD though.

enoch2090··on Self-Retrieval: Building an information retrieval system with one LLM
I wonder how would they calculate the metrics if the result is generated instead of retrieved? Is it likely that the LLM can generate exactly the same output as the desired result?
enoch2090··on FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster
I think Qt does have WASM compilation options, but I mean generating interfaces given models like Pydantic/Dataclasses/etc.
enoch2090··on FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster
Streamlit's state management is so painful, feels like constantly writing hacks.
enoch2090··on FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster
Actually, does Qt have something like FastUI? Been looking for one.
enoch2090··on Altman's Ambition
The TOC is a total mess
enoch2090··on Time Series Forecasting vs Regression: An informal guide
Totally makes sense - I'm already getting used to "ChatGPTing" instead of Googling these questions. I guess the future of these articles is that there are always fields that LLMs hallucinate at, fields that are not very common (explain the products of a small brand, pros &cons of their different models).
enoch2090··on A search engine in 80 lines of Python
BM25 is just too famous in traditional searching and not worth explaining it all over again.
enoch2090··on Show HN: Visualize the entropy of a codebase with a 3D force-directed graph
This is really cool! We are recently developing a project with heavy C++ and maybe a little Python scripts & wrappers and we are planning for a major refactor. Is it possible to adopt this with a C++ codebase?
enoch2090··on Are we at peak vector database?
Normally having a lot of choices is a good thing, but here we are facing a dozen of vector dbs with very similar features - to the root it's just some version of ANN implemented in C++/Rust/whatever, the "peak" means there's nothing new. People are flooding into this field not because there's something worth inventing, but more of fear to lag behind and miss the quick money. That's what I feel about vector DBs in Jan, 2024.
enoch2090··on The Uncomfortable – a collection of deliberately inconvenient objects
Once I accidentally lost 3 poems on my blog as well as the linked Notion database, and weirdly there's nothing in the version history. Thanks to the internet archive that I found those poems back.
enoch2090··on I built an offline smart home
Sometimes it's not the time saved, but a change to your mindset, that you don't need to even think of walking across the room to reach the switch before sleep. Such change accumulates and at a point I felt the difference, hopefully that works for you as well.
enoch2090··on Blending Is All You Need: Cheaper, Better Alternative to Trillion-Parameters LLM
I've said this a few times previously yet I certainly want to say it again - "All You Need" titles are definetely not what all we need.
enoch2090··on DaedalOS – Desktop environment in the browser
There's a browser embedded, so you can open the same website in the browser and recurse
enoch2090··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
This is great! Can you also add a preference menu to let users set custom fonts?
enoch2090··on Interactive Code Cells
Nice concept and demonstration! Would argue though that it is the states in Jupyter notebooks that make it work so well for prototyping, and that should be its main purpose always. Using dependencies might break that.

As for the documentation purposes it should be the programmers/authors' duty to ensure that the code works out by executing all cells in order once.

enoch2090··on Major outages across ChatGPT and API
That's my point, maybe VectorDBs in production should have a fallback mechanism, for the documents inserted,

1. Generate embeddings using services such as OpenAI, which is usually more powerful;

2. Generate backup embeddings using local, more stable models, such as Llama2 embeddings or simply some BERT-family-model (which is more affordable).

When outages comes up you simply switch from one vector space to another. Though possible, model alignments are much harder and more expensive to achieve.

enoch2090··on Major outages across ChatGPT and API
Been playing with Phind for a while and my conclusion is: the Phind model works well on those long existing stuff like C++ libraries, but works generally bad on newer stuff, such as composing LCEL chains.
