I was curious so I looked at the price, it's absurd.

$850, that price point is dead in the water to me. I may as well move up to other Fuji cameras that provide far more for not that much more money.

It's a "perfect family camera" if you don't consider the price...

The price is crazy for the sensor size.

I use functions in openai and a template that forces the LLM to generate questions and answers from a text in a format that can be synced into the Anki app. Very straightforward workflow.

Very interesting, would love a more detailed tutorial on setting something similar up

My observation is that I learn more than ever using LLMs.

I tend to learn asking questions, I did this using Anki cards for years (What is this or that?) and find the answer on the back of the index card. Questions activate my thinking more than anything, and of course my attempt at answering the question in my own terms.

My motto is: Seek first to understand, then to be understood (Covey). And I do this in engaging with people or a topic—-by asking questions.

Now I do this with LLMs. I have been exploring ideas I would never have explored hadn’t there been LLMs, because I would not have had the to research material for learning, read it, create material in a Q&A session for me.

I even use LLMs to convert an article into Anki cards using Obsidian, Python, LLMs, and the Anki app.

Crazy times we are in.

What does your workflow look like?

I used to think Perplexity was terrible, then I fixed my settings and I love it.

Key settings to adjust:

* Always use "Pro mode" searches

* Set the model to 3.5 sonnet in settings

Once you do those two things, you'll have a good time and after a week you'll dread going back to google.

I don't see where in settings I can change this?

Why OnShape?

Why not Commonwealth Robotics Studio or some other opensource CAD option?

boromi · a year ago
Super easy for collaborative work. As good as some opensource CAD options are, there isn't really anything out there in terms of OnShape for collaborative CAD work.
boromi commented on Hacked Nvidia 4090 GPU driver to enable P2P   github.com/tinygrad/open-... · Posted by u/nikitml

Incredible! I'd been wondering if this was possible. Now the only thing standing in the way of my 4x4090 rig for local LLMs is finding time to build it. With tensor parallelism, this will be both massively cheaper and faster for inference than a H100 SXM.

I still don't understand why they went with 6 GPUs for the tinybox. Many things will only function well with 4 or 8 GPUs. It seems like the worst of both worlds now (use 4 GPUs but pay for 6 GPUs, don't have 8 GPUs).

boromi · a year ago
Any chance you could share the details of the build you'd go for. I need a server for our lab, but am kinda out of my depth with all the options/

Post like these always make me go into the rabbit hole of how energy dense gasoline is.

The energy density of gasoline is higher than liquid hydrogen! It does not need to be super cooled and is liquid state at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.

Gasoline is an absolute miracle fuel. Sort of feels under appreciated to casually pump it at the gas station ha.

boromi · 2 years ago
Yes per volume gasoline is impressive.

You would need a tank 4 times the size of a gasoline tank for liquid hydrogen, not to mention the high pressure tank that is needed to store the liquid hydrogen .

Step in the right direction, but I wonder what's taking so long on getting support for cameras. That's my biggest use case at the moment. Having a bunch of Nest cameras that don't natively incorporate with HomeKit and having to do all sorts of work arounds to get a still generally crappy experience is killing my excitement for the smart home. And I won't buy new ones until they support Matter and there is true interoperability.

Came here to make the same comment. It seems like we are going to be waiting a while for video.
