On Strix Halo, have a look at the work antirez is doing with dwarfstar (antirez/ds4) for deepseek v4 flash at reasonable speeds and quality.

I guess because travel agencies need to be able to show customers the most economical flights? By prohibiting agencies on their website, they can not give consumers (through their agents) the ability to compare different choices.

My free account runs cloudflared tunnel just fine for jellyfin. Is it just plex?

I use the tunnel because my girlfriend cant install tailscale on her work laptop, so this way she can still login to jellyfin while traveling.

I didn't know you can you buy Google TPUs now?

Huh, indeed, above 2300 eur now. I made a deposit earlier this year and it shipped in August, didn’t see the price increased.

I ordered the framework desktop 395 - 128Gb edition for just under 1900 eur. With some extras I paid just over 2000 incl shipping to EU. Didn’t feel overpriced to me.

Could you explain? From my experience, they are exact digital copies of the ebooks on amazon. It’s not like mp3 in lower audio quality, it’s word by word the same book.

Cool. What framework or program do you use to orchestrate this?

Sorry to cross your excellent questions, but it doesn’t seem they are beating HP Z2 mini G1a to market. HP announced first week of January that it will be “available in spring”, while now framework announced for Q3.

It also seems HP will use the PRO version of the chip.

Kudos to framework for announcing the price and anchoring the market though!

I keep getting an error “your file exceeds the maximum allowed size” or something. It’s a clip of 1:20 on iphone. I tried clipping it to 1 min but then it wouldn’t allow upload. I exported the clip to files and then uploaded but same error. How may I reduce the file size on my iPhone?

Since the 2022 Russian invasion, the West has provided 200bn in aid to Ukraine [0]. And Russia has been winning on the ground lately. It seems the West is thinking more aid will not change the outcome, but only diplomacy will.

I genuinely wonder why no one is doing this? Why can't I buy this specialized AI inference silicon with plenty of VRAM?

Mistral 7B is pretty good and the instruct v0.2 runs on my iPhone through MLC Chat.

However, the ChatGPT4 app is much better in usability: better model, multi-modal with text/vision/speech and better UI.

Good tips, although I prefer the hard case carry-on trolley because it will survive the occasional situation where you want to use it as check-in luggage (eg bringing bottles or extra weight) or when it’s forced to be checked in at boarding (happened few times and a cloth trolley does not come out unharmed).

You can download the weights on Hugginface.

I believe the copyright on AI model weights in the US is not fully established, but so far it has been held that a list of numbers can not be copyrighted, so likely the same applies to model weights. Note that you don't have to enter into an agreement with Adept to use the model.

Alternatively, use and download the weights in Japan that has explicitly no copyright on AI models.

Damn, a bit far fetched but theoretically possible. Jikes.

One idea would be for the government of Hungary to create a list of its citizens that share this inciting, dangerous or whatever you you wanna call it material. If they keep on finding the same persons distributing multiple times, they may pay them a visit, get them fired from their government job, block their bank accounts, put them on the no-fly list or whatever.

And that’s just one idea, probably there’s others.

You can install uBlock Origin and other firefox/chrome add-ons on the Orion iOS browser[1].

Forgive my ignorance, but what’s a “1984 instance”? (Google could not help me.) Thanks!

I wonder what graphics chip this is using?

* I know people don’t want hear it but the taking of Odessa and the rest of the coast will very likely still happen, eventually. Probably not via Kherson, preferably without force.

Genuinly curious, because this is the first time I read this. How do you see the taking of Odessa by Russia as very likely? It's their main port, I don't see how Ukraine would be able to survive without it.

To add some practical context to this insightful comment: in Belgium, 1-on-1 conversations are considered private and as such protected, meaning you need a judge order to listen in. However, If the conversation is professional, both parties are allowed to record it.

Now, any conversation with 3 or more parties is considered public. A closed group chat on whatsapp has the same legal protection as shouting it on a megaphone to a crowd, meaning none whatsoever and people have already been convicted for their speech in closed chats or forums.

It's funny how the Devbox docs mention this explicitly:

Don't worry: You can use Devbox without needing to learn the Nix Language.

I just got the cheap Domo MS171, it does what it’s supposed to do and folds nicely in a drawer but I’m sure there are many better options out there.

A french butter cup!

It works by pouring a bit of water in the outer cup and the inner cup that holds the butter, fits upside down. Keeps it fresh without oxidation.

I love real spreadable butter on my bread and together with my bread slicer, I’m a happy man :)

I believe you've misread 2^(5/12) or perhaps your browser did not display it correctly? Anyway, 2 to the power of 5/12 equals 1.3348.. which is very close to 4/3 = 1.333..

This is a very strange argument, because banks do not lend out deposits.

Deposits are created jointly with each new loan on its balance (and destroyed when the loan pays back).

Offering higher deposits is actually a higher cost for a bank and lowers its profitability.

I am curious about your presumption that pre-fab construction “has a massive reduction in cost”. Anecdotal evidence suggests this allows for faster construction on site (as you say) but hardly any costs reduction. From what I gather, the pre-fab units are still constructed uniquely with manual labour, only in a factory hall instead of on site. Extra transportation efforts seem to destroy most of any cost savings. The actual massive line production of standardized units ready for construction does not seem to exist anywhere for house construction, as it exists for other manufacturing. Happy to be proven wrong and learn more though!

Third, while the French Foreign Legion is romantic and all, they won't take you if they find you have a criminal record.

This is not true unless you are wanted by interpol or a very serious record such as murder.

For an American, might crossing into Canada be an easier option?

Russia has 6000 nuclear warheads and enough capabilities to deliver them wherever they want in the world.

That will keep the US military far away from their battlefield.
