I have the project of running a LLM locally on a Windows. Since no one can tell for sure what's going on I was thinking of sandboxie https://sandboxie-plus.com/ or better open sandbox https://open-sandbox.ai/ around a llama.cpp or whatever.Even if it's also on MacOs or Linux, I would like to know if anyone run these kind of sandbox and what is the experience like. And also if someone detected...
With the Trump administration's policies and tighter restrictions around H-1B visas, H-1B hiring appears to have slowed considerably. I'm curious whether this has translated into more opportunities for American workers, particularly in the tech industry.*Have you noticed any tangible change in the job market?**Poll:*1. I've seen multiple new job openings that appear to be opportunities for...
Let's assume that some sort of unforeseeable event causes the electricity grid to blackout, food and water is scarce, and over 90% of the population are dead. Your tablet has 8 GB of memory and 128 GB of storage space. You can download whatever is available on the internet. External accessories are allowed, but within reason (e.g a hand crank to charge). How would you prepare?
Recently, there has been a rise in major security incidents, hacks, and zero-day vulnerabilities.Are you actively doing something to prevent your systems from being exploited, and how are you ensuring you haven't already suffered a data breach?To be honest, I'm scrambling my head thinking about all the possibilities, and it's making me a bit anxious.
I’ve used many note-taking tools. But over time, my expectations have changed. Right now, my focus is entirely on privacy. When I looked at privacy-focused note-taking tools, I couldn’t make up my mind.For example, I’m currently using Obsidian. But some of its features aren’t quite what I want, and it still feels like it’s lacking in terms of privacy.I wanted to ask this question in case you...
I have created few AI images using Claude.The image is perfectly created. But at the bottom there is a watermark image of AI that keeps coming up.I want to remove that watermark. I already tried using ChatGPT, Canva, Adobe, Gemini but still the output doesn't match the original one generated by claude.Anyone knows of any free tools which can be used to do this ? (I don't want to sign up and...
We are looking for a Cryptography book recommendation to read with our 10 year old who loves making up his own ciphers. He loves reading adult math and science books with us at breakfast like Ignition!, Humble Pi, and The Hunt for Vulcan. All of the kids books that we've found are just puzzles, but I don't want to get something way over his head math-wise. A good history with basic theory...
I won't post my projects here as this is beside the point. All the time I'm seeing other people promote their stuff, and it is lost in the gates of oblivion.Is this inherently inavoidable? Is there no solution to this conundrum? Where is the genius that will saves all the genius? Is there no riddle here to solve?I wish someone old and wise would explain why this mess is unsolvable. An...
I have tried the Mac Studio cluster, but support for models and speed is still an issue with 2TB of unified memory. Is there an alternative? Is there better hardware for this?
I currently run AI workloads on Apple Hardware, but was thinking about experimenting with Tenstorrent hardware... Rather hard to find actual benchmarks on Youtube. Any thoughts, or better AI hardware to buy?
I filled out the web form for the Cuyahoga Amateur Radio Club but it's probably been circular-filed... I gave some info about a large collection of radio gear that needs to be removed from a home or it will be put into a dumpster. A lot of it brand-new. If you know anybody at the club, please tell them to check whatever it is that receives their webform input.
Anyone hiring someone with such a niche set of skills as spreadsheet sorcery and apps script automation skills?
Trying to access for several days justine.lol to get more info about (the awesome) Cosmopolitan libc but the site is down. Also, I noticed that there have been no posts from jar in HN for a long time. Visited her X account and it seems that she is in trouble. Anyone knows if she is alright?...
Ctx: I'm an ML engineer. I can't stop the Youtube homepage from feeding me slop. e.g. I clicked on a bearded sales guy by mistake and my feed is now full of this guy.I need your help. The problem: a list curated by one person is only as good as that person's taste, and mine is a handful of AI and game dev channels. I made https://kouh.me/ytfeed that pulls RSS from a hand-picked list of channels...
