lithiumii··on Grok outage
Time to finish up my $5 at Deepseek.
lithiumii··on Raspberry Pi Pico W as USB Wi-Fi Adapter
except now we don't need to spend that $5
lithiumii··on GLM 5.2 vs. Opus
GLM has subscription plans too.
lithiumii··on The mysterious Hy3 LLM is topping OpenRouter Model Rankings by a large margin
What's so mysterious? Isn't it from Tencent?
lithiumii··on Antigravity 2.0 Tops the OpenSCAD Architectural 3D LLM Benchmark
That's actually a reason for me to try it again. My past attempts to use LLM for OpenScad has greatly improved my own OpenScad skills.
lithiumii··on The next generations of Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, and Bubbles are available now
It's cute. My main complaint is I was expecting some real next-gen bubble tea.
lithiumii··on I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off Live Plus
No. I had a Samsung TV which connects to the internet via the HDMI cable to my Nvidia Shield.
lithiumii··on AI vs. Professional Authors Results
I love what he is doing but really hope the voting interface was better. Also I wonder what the results would be if there are AI-assisted stories, but maybe real authors would hate to do that.
lithiumii··on Meta's Llama 3.1 can recall 42 percent of the first Harry Potter book
You are not selling or distributing copies of your brain.
lithiumii··on DeepSeek open source DeepEP – library for MoE training and Inference
Well technically even DeepSeek is not as OSS as OLMo or Open Euro, because they didn't open the data.
lithiumii··on Grok3 Launch [video]
Someone should make this video with AI.
lithiumii··on QwQ: Alibaba's O1-like reasoning LLM
Many Chinese tech giants already had A100 and maybe some H100 before the sanction. After the first wave of sanction (bans A100 and H100), NVIDIA released A800 and H800, which are nerfed versions of A100 and H100.

Then there was a second round of sanction that bans H800, A800, and all the way to much weaker cards like A6000 and 4090. So NVIDIA released H20 for China. H20 is an especially interesting card because it has weaker compute but larger vram (96 GB instead of the typical 80 GB for H100).

And of course they could have smuggled some more H100s.

lithiumii··on Niantic plans a “Large Geospatial Model” trained on Pokémon Go player data
As long as they make enough money from Pokemon Go to sustain Ingress, I OK with that.
lithiumii··on Nvidia and its partners built a system to bypass U.S. export restrictions
The more they sell, the less likely China & others are going to make a real alternative.
lithiumii··on ByteDance is abusing the free video downloading service Cobalt for mass scraping
That could be a completely different problem. In China many people run PCDN (p2p CDN) for profit. The ISPs detect (and ban) such PCDN nodes by checking your uploaded / downloaded ratio. To increase this ratio thus avoid being detected, these people download popular torrents again and again without uploading at all.
lithiumii··on A Mini Monitor for a Pi
You can also build one with LEGO, which is like the OG 3D-printing.
lithiumii··on How to fix “AI’s original sin”
Don't worry, in China they need to worry about a different set of "ethics". It's not just your LLM should never speak against Xi. They probably also need to include a big propaganda corpus so that the models are aligned with CCP's value, which is very likely to be bad for reasoning capabilities.
lithiumii··on What You Get After Running an SSH Honeypot for 30 Days
My new VPS got an SSH attempt in 5 minutes after I purchased it. I'm now in the progress of running a similar honeypot experiment.
lithiumii··on Ask HN: Why even use any Google services at this point?
AI needs data, so whatever provides data to Google (e.g., YouTube) is less likely to shutdown.
lithiumii··on Show HN: Every mountain, building and tree shadow mapped for any date and time
A Chinese map (https://www.amap.com/) has it, but only for some cities in China.
lithiumii··on China’s Moon atlas is the most detailed ever made
Looks like it's 2 books, Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe and Map Quadrangles of the Geologic Atlas of the Moon.
lithiumii··on Visualizing malicious IP addresses
If it's an ISP, maybe it's their crappy modems now part of a botnet.
lithiumii··on No one buys books
But if you accidentally exposed your calibre-web online, they may be able to DMCA you?
lithiumii··on World_sim: LLM prompted to act as a sentient CLI universe simulator
Very interesting Claude ethics here:

Have no problem in creating super robots to enslave human. Refuse to add Khorne or Tzeentch to the world.

I guess now we know how to deal with a machine uprising.

lithiumii··on Nokia is replacing Huawei at Deutsche Telekom sites in Germany
Sites being blocked is different from internet being slow. Theoretically it's possible for GFW to disappear (very unlikely) or malfunction (more likely) and access to Google or BBC is suddenly much faster. Practically you can use a proper VPN.

I don't disagree with your opinion on which country is better to live in.

lithiumii··on Mixtral 8x7B: A sparse Mixture of Experts language model
Three 4060 Ti 16GB (there are single slot models) is around $1500. I think is possible to get a consumer system that's cheaper than a 48GB Mac.
lithiumii··on PysimpleGUI
I once made a simple serial monitor GUI with this. It's really easy to use, and has better defaults than vanilla tkinter.

However, as soon as I discovered VS Code's serial monitor plugin I abandoned my project.

lithiumii··on Do deepfake videos undermine our epistemic trust?
Like the new Leica M11-P with its "content credential"?
lithiumii··on $95 AMD CPU Becomes 16GB GPU to Run AI Software
If you switch to the test-fp8 branch of AUTOMATIC1111 web UI, you can do 512 * 1024 on 4G GPU with SDXL.
lithiumii··on Open source AI will win
How about stay anonymous and just violate all the copyright laws? There's already pirate bay, libgen, sci-hub, zlibrary, etc., surely it's possible for there to be an opensource & pirate LLM model.
