I think its inevitable that something (either from humans or nature) will figure out how to digest plastic. Similar to the Devonian Wood Crisis.

This whole article is giving off "PragerU"

Is this chart based off personal or household net worth?

This is a really interesting project and thanks for sharing these tech details! Are you guys working on an iOS app yet? Would love to give it a try.
But much of the layers behind this LTAP architecture are proprietary. The goal for databricks is for customer’s data to never leave their infra.

What’s the point of insulting a script as “horrible looking”. What a silly comment, please grow up.

There seems to be an interesting link between the Riemann-Zeta function (therefor prime distribution) and the energy levels in black hole singularities.

I’ll give this a go lol

Upfront modeling work is always worth it, but that only holds if you actually know your access patterns upfront. Most teams don’t, especially early on.
The article title seems a little too far-fetched but apparently there seems to be an interesting link between the Riemann-Zeta function (therefor prime distribution) and the energy levels in black hole singularities.
Tons of jobs? Do you mean in tech, or in general?
Interesting that SoCal becomes an option for these people. What’s the draw with that move?
Are you going to address what he said or just continue to spew blatantly racist ad hominems?
I've been using LMStudio to run a local LLM (Qwen3-4B) to generate commit messages using this command:

```

git diff --staged --diff-filter=ACMRTUXB | jq -Rs --arg prompt 'You are an assistant that writes concise, conventional commit messages. Always start with one of these verbs: feat, fix, chore, docs, style, refactor, test, perf. Write a short!! message describing the following diff:' '{model:"qwen/qwen3-4b-2507", input:($prompt + "\n\n" + .)}' | curl -s http://localhost:1234/v1/responses -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- | jq -r ".output[0].content[0].text"

```

Apple shortcuts allows you to use OCR on images you pass into it. Looking for “ Extract Text from Image”
Do i need to sign-in when using the docker container?
Alright sounds good. Question, what LLM model does this use out of the box? Is it using the models provided by Github (after I give it access)?
The CLI for this feels extremely buggy, Im attempting to build the application but the screen is flickering like crazy: https://streamable.com/d2jrvt
Yea, I’m not following why this approach is radically different from just doing that
Re:QwQ: Alibaba's O1 Like Reasoning LLM on Friday November 29, 2024 @03:14AM (#42271989)
Anyone tried using this aider yet? I like how its reasoning, but it keeps messing up when it attempts to apply the commit it generates.
Re:Show HN: FastGraphRAG – Better RAG using good old PageRank on Tuesday November 19, 2024 @06:21AM (#42182257)
So I went ahead and tried running the example script with "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" using the "meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct" and "text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5" models locally. How long should it take to extract the subgraphs with this kind of setup?
Re:Bop Spotter on Tuesday October 01, 2024 @06:18AM (#41706570)
Love the setup. I’m sure one can make this using Apple shortcuts too since there’s a Shazam api offered in it.
Re:Plain Text Accounting (PTA) on Monday September 16, 2024 @03:28AM (#41553616)
Use teller.io, it’s super easy to setup imo (compared to Plaid). I use it to sync my chase bank + credit card statements on a gsheet.

Is OSM good at keeping up-to-date with commercial data? I always thought it wasn’t so good, but maybe I’m wrong

I’m firm on my claim that they were imperial wars, but we can lay that to the side.

> I’m not sure what else you’re suggesting such a power do? Let the oppositional force just take everything?

This is precisely my problem. If the US/West wants to maintain a moral high ground by claiming that their “freedom” and values are simply the best and everyone needs them, then why is there an incessant need to subjugate? There is no moral high ground with continuously destabilizing countries and making half the world’s life a living hell.

I’m happy to talk about the actual realities of geopolitics. Of course the US wants to maintain control, but that desire is a not a “moral” one.

Re:Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk on Friday August 16, 2024 @04:44AM (#41264489)
So destabilizing and destroying a country for the sake of establishing liberal values is a morally righteous decision?
