binary132 commented on Emoji Design Convergence Review: 2018-2026   blog.emojipedia.org/emoji... · Posted by u/surprisetalk

I think this article just makes the case for what incredibly terrible idea emojis are in general.

Someone writes a text in 2016. Three years later, despite the text data remaining unchanged, the semantics are completely different because all vendors decided to change what the text should look like.

I'm not sure if this has ever happened in the history of text. The worst thing we had was encoding issues that were pretty obvious when it happened. Now you need to be aware of every change ever made to emojis and divine which platform the author was writing from to be able to tell what the message was actually supposed to be.

I really preferred the norm being text emojis. This whole thing with gender- and ethnicity- and now other-stuff-encoded emojis is just really awkward and forced seeming to me. A text smiley is just a smiley.

Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B[0][1] is a very impressive local model. It is good with tool calling and works great with llama.cpp/Visual Studio Code/Roo Code for local development.

It doesn't get a ton of attention on /r/LocalLLaMA but it is worth trying out, even if you have a relatively modest machine.

I find the Q8 runs a bit more than twice as fast as gpt-120b since I don’t have to offload as many MoE layers, but is just about as capable if not better.

That problem is solved by the subsecond crate (an offspring of the Dioxus UI framework), demo here: https://youtu.be/Kl90J5RmPxY?t=1288

It's not integrated in Nannou specifically, but they're showing off Bevy and ratatui in that demo, both very popular frameworks in the Rust world. (In fact, Nannou is in the process of being rebuilt on top of Bevy.)

I don’t know if something is wrong with my mental model, but it seems weird to me that it would take hundreds of milliseconds to patch a function pointer.

Perhaps too much red meat and not enough fiber? "But foods with fiber can have other good effects as well. They can help you stay at a healthy weight and lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer" https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h...

I also live in Denver. The biggest problem with downtown isn't zoning (though that may be a part), it's the homeless people. Who's going to want to go hang out on 16th when there's a dude asking you for money on every street corner? I don't know what the solution is, but it seems clear to me that revitalizing downtown starts with removing the "I'm going to have to deal with vagrants" factor.

Last time I went to Denver I actually got chased.
