LOL, he's corny and tries to be a little too flashy. But at least he gets to the point quickly and tends to cover all the basics without shooting off into a useless tangent. (sans the coffee)

This is the first time I think I've ever mentioned him as reference material, but it was mostly because he covered the guardrail concept that no one else I've watched talked about.

We're a long way from trusting it to do something critical without intervention.

AI would be good at looking at an X-ray after a doctor and pointing out anomalies. But it would be bad to have it tell the doctor that everything looks fine.

Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn't mind 30 frames per second, I'm not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle

I send a lot of stuff through co-pilot and I've never gotten anything remotely sexual with it set to precise mode.

Do keep in mind that running your personal thoughts, questions, and ideas through an AI will probably get your personal thoughts, questions, and ideas fed into their marketing system.

If you have a half decent Nvidia card and some spare time to wait for responses to come back self-hosting Ollama isn't that difficult.

You could actually set your own guardrails up. in the config you could set up some post instructions for every prompt specifically instructing it not to get emotional.

The YouTuber Network Chuck recently did a decent video covering the set up and guardrail security.

Yeah that totally gave Goonies vs Star Trek prodigy vibes.

We have high standards for American Chinese food. There was this place where we used to live in the food was great. Not everything they made came out of a bag, and even the things that did come out of a bag had absolutely superior sauces. I don't know exactly what they did but whatever it was it was better heads and tails than anything else around here.

We ordered our regular dishes one day. A few hours later we were exploding out of both ends. Was it them? was lunch? Who knows? We went about our regular business and two weeks later ordered the same regiment. A few hours later we again were exploding out of both ends.

The puking wasn't all that bad but the raw acid diarrhea and the massive cramps were just insane.

This was a pretty bad scenario because of the time we lived in a house with one bathroom.

We never ordered from there again. They had this really great iced tea It took me ages to figure out how to replicate it. It ended up being like 14 to 1 regular sweetened black tea to Earl Gray, plus a splash of lemon.

China certainly could be lying.

Half of the US states are purposely bankrupting their education systems to make sure that the 1 percenters are the only ones with any advantage. Even in the States that aren't actively trying to stamp out education the poor and middle class can't afford a respectable education.

China is sitting on a pile of natural resources and doesn't have any problems with underpaying and working people to death.

They're set up to do a lot with very little, they have a lot of people and resources and they're not afraid to educate enough people to get the job done.

It's not just space, they're getting places with electric cars that we can't touch.

It'll be interesting to see where all this ends up.

I kind of wouldn't mind seeing him get 100% of the attention for a little bit of time. I wouldn't mind hearing him whine as loudly as writtenhouse does about how his life is ruined.

[–] linearchaos 3 points 3 weeks ago

He wants in on the new authoritarian regime. Slowing down or stopping electric cars is on their to do list.

I keep a root folder. On Windows it's in c:\something on Linux it's in /something

Under there I've got projects organized by language. This helps me organize nix shells and venvs.

Syncthing keeps the code bases and synced between multiple computers

I don't separate work from home because they don't live in the same realm.

Only home stuff in the syncthing.

It tells me what document in the collection it used, But it doesn't give me too much in the way of context or anything about the exact location in the document. It will usually give me some wording if I'm missing it and I can go to the document and search for that wording.

I'm just one person searching a handful of documents so the sample size is pretty small for repeatability, so far, if it says it's in there, it's in there. It definitely misses things though, I'm still early in the process. I need to try some different models and perhaps clean up the data a little bit for some of the stuff.

Using the documentation as source data It doesn't seem to hallucinate or insist things are wrong, it's more likely to say I don't see any information about that when the data is clearly in the data set somewhere.

YW on the responses I'm having fun with it even if it's taking forever to get it to dial in and be truly useful.

Trident VGA?

I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

I bought a Riva TNT

Then a GeForce 2

Then a Radeon 9000

Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I'm still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They're good enough.

Direction (self.streamingfood)
 

So, no great surprise, most of this channel comes from my Youtube subscriptions. I'm watching/have watched all of these before I post them here.

My original intent was just to post current videos from the regular rotation, getting more people experience to the stuff I watch and enjoy and was intending on only digging out old eps that were striking to me.

It occurs to me that this would get boring and old fast.

Should I err more toward only picking up the highest quality episodes and sorting more back through time, or does it make more sense to you guys to try to post most of the new stuff and adlib in slow times?

I'll also slow down my cadence and post some thoughts about stuff to stimulate conversation going forward so it's not just a link dump.

 

wikitubia: Todd, better known as Project Farm, is an American YouTuber and reviewer who makes tool review videos. He test products which claim they are better than others, along with genuine against knock-off products.

It's a slightly order video, but I think one that resonates well, Which AA battery is best? In true project farm style, Todd uses ever trick on the farm (and a few from amazon) to save you money.

 

Drumeo has this thing where they invite someone in to hear a piece of music for the first time, then have them either replay it or they hear a version without drums and they make their own rhythm.

In this episode Larnell Lewis listens to a song for the first time and plays it immediately from memory.

I suspect it's genuine. He's good. There's always a little room for skepticism though.

 

Triggers* Crazy Intonation

From Youtube: Carolina red slaw is tangy, sweet, spicy, and savory, with an irresistibly crispy, crunchy texture. It works perfectly as both a side dish, and a topping for things like pulled pork, burgers, and hot dogs. Plus, this is mayo-free, which means it can safely sit out on a hot picnic table. Enjoy!

Episode Catchphrase: You are the Right Said Fred of this Carolina Red

 

Derek Alexander Muller is an Australian-born American-Canadian science communicator, filmmaker, and television personality, who is best known for his YouTube channel Veritasium.

Sometimes he's spot on, sometimes he's controversial but he's always interesting.

In this episode he explores NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) and explores and explains their ingredients and why there's so expensive.

This video is a companion for the NileBlue video explaining the ingredients a little more thoroughly.

Nigel Braun (NileRed/NileBlue) is a Canadian chemist and science communicator residing in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

He's recently off hiatus and back with more crazy antics. Historically he mostly covered interesting chemistry reactions but he's branching out.

In this episode, Nigel mistakes NIST standard ingredients for pure and fresh ingredients and makes the worlds worst cookie

I've posted a companion video by Veritasium further explaining the NIST ingredients the Nigel is using here.

 

Clive Mitchell, or "Big Clive" is an electrician who lives on the Isle of Man. He has a love for electronics. He regularly disassembles working and broken electronic devices on his show, takes a picture of the PCB, reverse engineers them, then explains to you in detail how the circuit works, why it failed, how to fix it, and what to do to make it better.

Here he takes a luxory car ionizer to bits and explains how to modify the unit to work if you didn't pay for the feature.

 

Brian over at Brainiac75 has a healthy relationship with safety which is good because he messes around with anything he can find that's dangerous.

In this episode, he's playing with two of the largest rare earth magnets I've ever seen. Each magnet has a pull force of 2650lb (1200kg)

 

Come watch this wonderful lady rock out on drums playing Disturbed, Down with the Sickness.

 

This excellent series has managed to release a second season on Hulu.

The writing is great, the twists are fun. It has just the perfect amount of suspense, shock and despair that you'd never guess could come from a TV series about running a restaurant.

From Wikipedia: A young chef from the world of fine dining comes home to Chicago to run his family's Italian beef sandwich shop after the suicide of his older brother, who left behind debts, a rundown kitchen, and an unruly staff.
