One of the most important things for any profession is experience. Experience comes from learning from your own mistakes or those of others. Those with the best skills can be said to have learned a lot from previous mistakes.

So, how can someone become professional if they don’t learn from their own mistakes? In the case of AI; they will learn to become professional prompters and learn from the mistakes of bad prompts??? I prefer the former not the ladder.

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station had a similar vintage looking control room. You can see a sad but cool image of the room as it’s being demolished on this nbc article.

I recall reading the original research paper from a student who made the same RF ‘camera’ here in hacker news.

Thank you! I will definitely check it out!

My favorite space probe is the European Space Agency Philae. It probes the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and actually landed on it. It was able to send back images of its surface. Amazing!

Maybe a system running a local model is not so bad. The tokens per second will allow for that break?

Also, at what point does AI take over for all the thinking and white board planning?

AI should be a rubber duckie one can use to posit and assist when hit a brick wall. But if using it for all code generation, planning and troubleshooting then one is not in control; they’re just prompt drones…

Cool anecdote!

Couldn’t help but notice you misspelled car twice but only when talking about the blue car..

That’s great news ! Have they also solved the nuclear waste problem?

Honest question; here in the USA we have not.

Interesting enough; Lyme disease come from ticks that fed on infected mice. Like deer-mice or white footed mice. Rodents are the problem.

Unable to browse because I’m on mobile but Satellite One by Purple Motion is a track to listen to! <3

When I read the headline I imagined a huge tent with steel beam structure and professional grade covers with HVAC and concrete footprint.

Seems everyone else imagined a camping tent. Different backgrounds I guess.

Mine is just running a model on my laptop. It’s just amazing! I can ask it pretty much any question and it replies relatively FAST! Before, we lacked advancements in technology because we were limited by hardware. This advancement is the opposite: our software and the math/algorithms have brought us this.

It’s possible to make it offline but one would still need a phone for the object recognition software…that software would have to be what stays offline. Definitely doable.

I’ve always wondered what or how queen bees were made. It’s almost as they were a different insect.

Seems to be. What better way to secure your companies future by limiting open frontier models. Government sponsored monopoly?

I’m a little more hopeful that the future will allow for local (network free) frontier AI technology. Being that I’m a tech enthusiast and computer science nerd I tend to live less on the bleeding edge of technology because of privacy infringing hardware. Take for example meta glasses. So many people have adopted them because they don’t care about privacy as much as I do. So they get to live with the latest and greatest. Though, running a local LLM on my laptop (that is state of the art) has made me a little more hopeful that the future is around the corner. Who would have thought that one day we could run advanced AI on a laptop that’s able to do RAG and CAG.

I’m not sure if this comment is AI generated but I’d like to make a point either way.

Human biology is orders of magnitude more efficient than AI; that’s in regards to intelligence and processing the world around us.

It is not only more efficient but more complex but yet simple. Therefore, the complexity of our biology is a result of efficiency. An efficiency that allows us to process the world and achieve homeostasis in the most simple way. I’d like to see a machine achieve the same without having any type of vulnerability or weakness to corruption.

I bought 96GB of RAM a couple of years ago for ~$250. That same RAM now costs $1200!

Yes, as of recent the third possibility mentioned by officials is that it will Turn into plastic and not explode.

I just started messing with local LLMs and honestly I’m pretty impressed. I have a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA A1000 (6GB VRAM) and 96GB of RAM. I rarely used my gpu. Occasional CAD design or Machine Learning with OpenCV.

I ran llama3:latest and it ran pretty fast! I’m curious to see how Qwen would run on my system.

We’ve been blessed!

I’m just waiting for the US Government to implement their own local AI. Which will eventually lead to them open sourcing it because it’s tax payer funded and being that the NSA has decades worth of internet data they can train on; open weights would be just as good as any companies…

No offense taken; I do say it out loud during conversations ; at times. I find myself ‘saying’ it more in my head whilst having a stream of consciousness moment.

I find that I have two personalities and my writing/text personality is much more sagacious and better spoken (if that makes sense??)

I sometimes ge the most complex logical dreams whilst going to sleep on a programming problem. The dreams are normal dreams but structured like a programming problem or logic…it’s like my brain is trying to dream normally but it’s also Fixated on programming logic so it subliminally incorporates it into dreams. Then I wake up and I feel like I’ve compiled the whole code in my head and did not rest.

This is a nice project that I will definitely be looking into for my projects!

It’s a Republic of states that are Democratic. Some states have cities with terrible poverty but never the case where the whole state can be categorized as such.

Equifax’s The Work Number buys salary data from employers and they use it for income verification when applying for loans and rentals. You’d be surprised how much data is out there; and it was all sold by entities you ‘trust’. One example being the DMV

soma.fm Channel: DEFCON Radio Best programming music!

With all do respect I think your over complicating the problem. It’s not rocket science (no pun intended). It’s essentially a hobby rocket that can be weaponized and it’s all DIY. That’s the point simple and off the shelf. Not meant to travel towards the stratosphere or even long range. Quick and dirty way to cause havoc in a localized area.

Regardless, he made a prototype rocket enclosure and he seems to have the software down… I think the propulsion system will be the easy part. Hardest part will be tuning the PID so that the rocket goes where he wants it to. Then incorporating his tracking system will be another challenge of itself but that’s because of the form factor. As long as his calculus and linear algebra is good I see than being successful. Either way I’d hire simply to be a prototype engineer. Either Anduril or CIA would hire him in a heartbeat for prototyping.
