Southern California is vulnerable to that, but not Northern California. California is the largest food producer to the US, including about 1/3 of our fresh vegetables and 3/4 of fruits and nuts. The country wouldn't starve without California, but I sure wouldn't want to experience a situation where California stops exporting to red states.
I ran it last night using docker and it worked extremely well. You need a HuggingFace read-only API token for the Diarization. I found that the web UI ignored the token, but worked fine when I added it to docker compose as an environment variable.
Start playing a YouTube video in the browser, select "start capture" in the extension, and it starts writing subtitles in white text on a black background below the video. When you stop capturing you can download the subtitles as a standard .srt file.
I grew up in a town that did not get broadband internet access until 2017. Before that people had little to no high-speed internet service other than the town library (and they would park or sit outside the library to use the wifi when it was closed). They would also use cell phone data plans.
I see what you're getting at, but that doesn't explain bandwidth deserts in parts of rural California. They might have local conservative representatives, but the state leadership is obviously not conservative.
In the past I had parakeets and lovebirds. I think the app is great, but my first (joking) reaction was "Now let's setup a control group by putting the tablet in selfie-mode to simulate a mirror".
I look forward to watching my future grandchildren install a minecraft mod that dematerializes them and let's them play inside minecraft. Then I'll start ranting about Tron and they'll just shake their heads about Grandpa and how he still lives on the old Earth moon colony.
Yes, very handy even for non-smokers. We have a 2015 vehicle that we bought used that came with a cigarette lighter. I removed it and put it in the glove box.
Agreed, it narrowly fits on RTX 4090. Yesterday I rented an RTX 4090 on vast.ai and setup Mistral-Nemo-2407. I got it to work, but just barely. I can run mistral-chat, get the prompt, and it will start generating a response to the prompt after 10 to 15 seconds. The second prompt always causes it to crash immediately from OOM error. At first I almost bought an RTX 4090 from Best Buy, but it was going to cost $2,000 after tax, so I'm glad that instead I only spent 40 cents.
Yes. And I was told by multiple nurses at St. Thomas Midtown that the hospital did not have manual procedures already in place. In their press release they refer to their hospitals as "ministries" [0], so apparently they practice faith-based cyber security (as in "we believe that we don't need backups") since it took over 3 weeks to recover.
The second largest hospital group in Nashville experienced a ransomware attack about two months ago. Nurses told me they were using manual processes for three weeks.
Welp, my data point of one shows you need more than 8 GB of vRam.
When I run mistral-chat with Nemo-Instruct it crashes in 5 seconds with the error: "torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 40.00 MiB. GPU"
This is on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with 8192MiB. I ran "nvidia-smi -lms 10" to see what it maxed out with, and it last recorded max usage of 7966MiB before the crash.
That's fair, Synology can be confusing, and it's permission system is frustrating. However, my experience has been that many people use Synology, and I have found detailed articles about everything I've ever wanted to do with it, including adding unsupported 5GbE USB ethernet adapters. It's docker support is nice and makes it easy to setup and run infrastructure like MySQL, postgres, redis, iperf3, and apps like nextcloud, firefly III, only office, etc. It manages certs per-domain (import existing or have it use lets encrypt), and the reverse proxy handles multiple domains and sub domains and makes it easy to remotely access individual apps (or hosts and ports) by redirecting port 80 to 443 and then 443 to whatever the particular docker port is (or IP address and port of something else on your LAN). I also like that the apps can run on my SSD-only RAID storage, and then I have a separate large RAID on spinning disks for NAS storage. Then the Synology devices, fiber ONT, router, main switches are plugged into my UPS backup. For personal stuff I like the Synology platform because it's hassle free, and I think the tutorials by random users makes it approachable to consumers.
And nobody makes Monty Python or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy references anymore. I had a boss 15 years ago who had watched all things Star Trek, just like me; Knew all the things. But at one point he mentioned he wasn't really a fan, it was just "required reading, part of the literature". This is an interesting one. There used to be certain things that all nerds knew, and could talk about, use as analogies and metaphors. Something to talk about just like sales people (stereotypically, used to) talk about sports. I realized early in my career that's why some people in business follow sports, so they didn't get cut out of conversations. I always had nothing to say when that topic came up. But it's tricky because geeks and nerds shouldn't be gatekeepers about what the entertainment is, or the literature, because that cuts out a lot of people who should feel included. But at the same time most people think it's generally nice to have some common things to reference, talk about, and normalize on. I think social media, politics, streaming services, etc. have totally blown away these shared frameworks in society, and it's kind of a bummer, even though it's great to have lots of choices. People used to watch the same TV shows and talk about it the next day. I guess sports is basically the last thing that's shared. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk...
I stayed in Kauai in 2012 and the locals said they do not eat the chickens. They said the meat is very tough and doesn't taste very good. They also said the chickens are useful because they eat millipedes, which are everywhere. They claimed that the sting from being bitten by one of those millipedes is unbelievably painful, and feels like a gun shot. I'm not sure about the gun shot part, but everyone seemed pretty serious about how painful it feels.
1999 indeed! I haven't heard that term since around 1999 when I was hired as a "web engineer" and derisively referred to myself as a "webgineer". I almost asked if I could change my title to "sciencematician".
My friend's advisor in grad school (Physics, not CS) used to ask his students for various project estimates, and then he would double it and increase the units: 2 hours = 4 days; 1 day = 2 weeks; 2 weeks = 4 months; 2 to 3 months = 4 to 6 years = thesis project. My friend's estimated 3 month project turned into his 4 to 5 year thesis project. I mean, hey, it was experimental physics and his project ended up using a shipping container-sized faraday cage, scanning tunnelling microscopes, a clean room wearing a bunny suit, building stuff himself in the machine shop, writing software. All this for something that literally had not been done before and no one was sure it would work or what exactly would need to be done to get there (which starts to sound similar to some aspects of software projects). Plus the usual overhead like teaching ungrateful engineering undergrads (guilty!), hosting movie night at the lab and making liquid nitrogen ice cream, etc.
