zacmps··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
This shouldn't be a problem, and the answer is to refresh devices less frequently.
zacmps··on μMon: Stupid simple monitoring (2022)
Does it read the ntfs journal? Because that's really what makes everything, everything.

It makes me wish I used a journaling filesystem on Linux too.

zacmps··on Run LLMs at home, BitTorrent‑style
I think you'd need 2 80GB A100's for unquantised.
zacmps··on Deno vs. Bun vs. Node.js: A feature comparison
I think rustdoc, rust-analyzer, and crater all deserve shout-outs as well.
zacmps··on Semver violations are common, better tooling is the answer
The rust compiler does something similar by testing on all (ish) of crates.io, the public package repository.
zacmps··on Nougat: Neural Optical Understanding for Academic Documents
How long until someone enrolls an LLM in a university course to get journal access.
zacmps··on Show HN: Langfuse – Open-source observability and analytics for LLM apps
Writing them primarily, for example there isn't a super simple replacement for something like `derivative` (https://docs.influxdata.com/flux/v0.x/stdlib/universe/deriva...) in timescaledb.

I've been using it recently and I will say it is definitely harder to perform common time series queries than something like InfluxDB.
zacmps··on Proof-of-Work Defense for Onion Services
I suspect they're off by at least an order of magnitude in that estimate, if not two (or more if GPU acceleration is possible).
zacmps··on Show HN: Fast vector similarity using Rust and Python
I would say default to min(affinity, system threads, 16) and let the user input a specific number to override it.

I had a problem recently where a library started a process per CPU thread I suspect the author didn't intend it to start start 256...

Affinity is only easy to get on some platforms but you should use it instead of the system threads if available.

zacmps··on Testing Intel’s Arc A770 GPU for Deep Learning
Thanks! That's useful to know. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of them are non-commercial which rules them out for me but there's a couple that look like they might work.
zacmps··on Testing Intel’s Arc A770 GPU for Deep Learning
I don't know, maybe I'm desensitized by GPT4 but I'm running Llama2 70B and I certainly wouldn't call it 'disturbingly good'.
zacmps··on Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users
It was offensively bad and incorrect, and while I've heard it has improved since I think a lot of people just remember how it used to be and don't use it.
zacmps··on Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers
In fairness, that later one I would quite like to know. I've accidentally bought a game I already had access to at least once!
zacmps··on Chrultrabook – Modify a Chromebook to Run Windows/Linux/macOS
You say that like you or anyone else on the planet understands and trusts all the software they have running on their (phone/laptop/desktop).

That ship sailed a long time ago.

zacmps··on Run Llama 2 uncensored locally
Not really, it's a whole field (model stealing).
zacmps··on An ultra-sensitive on-off switch helps axolotls regrow limbs
> Humans will not voluntarily give up one of the nice things they currently have access to and enjoy

Plenty of people have, somewhat nullifying your comment.

zacmps··on Guide to running Llama 2 locally
70B at f16 needs about 120-160GB (4 A100 40GB or 2 A100 80GB).

Quantization still seems to have some issues for the 70B model.

zacmps··on The Fall of Stack Overflow
> To you.

Which was the whole point of this chain :)

zacmps··on The Fall of Stack Overflow
To contrast, I've not once used it where I would have previously used SO (professional developer).
zacmps··on Zenbleed
I tested on a Zen 3 Epyc and wasn't able to get the POC to work, so I think it probably is just Zen 2.
zacmps··on Will a prompt that enables GPT-4 to solve easy Sudoku puzzles be found?
It seems like it might be possible to get around this by letting the model emit moves like ` discard last 5` which would also let it keep a history of it's previous branches.
zacmps··on Qualcomm works with Meta to enable on-device AI applications using Llama 2
I doubt it to be honest, desktop GPUs use too much power (and hence produce too much heat) to be integrated in that fashion, and any kind of shared memory will be too high latency.
zacmps··on I stopped buying new laptops (2020)
Terrible example, a large proportion of gamers (including myself and almost everyone I know with a PC) builds their own.

Upgrades are piecemeal and old components are variously sold, given to friends, or re-used in home servers.

zacmps··on GPT-Migrate converts repos from one lang/framework to another
What a mind-bogglingly stupid decision if so, I can just train a network on the identity function and get royalty free mickey mouse now?
zacmps··on Gitlab’s AI-assisted code suggestions
But the original content is frequently recoverable.

You can't just take copyrighted code, base 64 it, sent it to someone, have them decode it, and claim there was no copyright violation.

From my (admittedly vague) understanding copyright law cares about the lineage of data, and I don't see how any reasonable interpretation could consider that the lineage doesn't pass through models.

IANAL

zacmps··on Nvidia DGX GH200: 100 Terabyte GPU Memory System
> supercomputers ever produce something meaningful

Absolutely, they contribute to research all of the time.

Some of them have pages where they list research outputs that they enabled (though this is of course limited to those authors tell them about!).

zacmps··on Severance payments at Wikimedia Foundation
IMO there's absolutely something wrong with it, while millions of people don't have access to food or clean water.

Supply & demand is an explanation, not an excuse, and it is a problem that can be fixed (if there's political will).

zacmps··on Show HN: Boring Report, a news app that uses AI to desensationalize the news
> This is just another way for media organizations to distort the news

No, it's not. This is done because stories with images perform better, and obtaining images (& licenses) for photos of every event is not always possible.

zacmps··on GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
Does that extend to internationalisation or accessibility?

(Real questions, Lazarus was before my time)
