Show HN: Inventronic, an electronics parts inventory management webapp

Hi HN, I recently created this side project, an electronic component inventory management system.Basically I am the creator of a 6502-based retro computer, the Planck 6502. I tried to sell it on Tindie and on my website but I was quite disorganized, meaning that I never knew if I had enough parts to make a whole kit or not. Sometimes I would take an order, only to notice that a critical...

I used to work 5 days a week, 9 am to 2pm. I quite liked it, but my employer would often call or ask for "urgent" stuff to be down after my hours, which meant I could not be fully present for family or whatever I had planned. I have now switched to a 3 days workweek at another job, and I find it much easier to set effective boundaries. If I'm not there I'm not there and that's it. I don't think I could ever go back to working 40 hour weeks to be honest. When do you get anything personal done?

Yes, the apache[0] image will do what you want

Thanks, I managed to convert what I had downloaded with the convert.py script in llama.cpp.
I'm a complete beginner regarding this stuff, so if I may ask, how would I go about downloading the relevant model (e.g. wizardcoder-python-34b-v1.0.Q4_K_S.gguf) I checked on Hugging face but all I got was a bunch of .bin files...

Thanks.

https://jfoucher.com/ My blog since 2004 with a variety of subjects, some technical some less so. I rarely blog anymore so most of the content is pretty out of date.

Not that I know of, sorry...

I used to be a naval architect, and I completely agree with you. This type of design is extremely inefficient for cargo delivery. I think it is unrealistic to expect to be able to even remotely compete with diesel cargo ships. As another commenter said, the crew are in fact paying passengers (I have not verified this) which means this is actually a cruise ship, which makes a lot more sense. It must be a great experience. In my mind, the only way sailing ships can come back as work boats is if a way is found to make them nearly automatic and space efficient. In my mind this means large steel ships, not dissimilar to regular cargo ships, but with automated kite sails (e.g. https://skysails-marine.com/) as they do not tend to tip the ship over like regular sails do.
In my case it’s because interfacing to the CPU bus is much simpler, and the code to drive it way smaller. SD card pretty much require a separate interface such as a 6522 VIA.
Nothing much really it evolved into a more refined design, of which I sold a couple of plans to amateur builders.

Will try there, thanks

My MacBook Pro M1 14' emptied it's battery overnight

This was with the lid closed obviously, and nothing running AFAIK. I opened it up just now and it booted up and showed the error message: Your mac was closed because of a problem do you want to reopen all windows or something to that effect. Does anyone know anything about that and how to prevent it?https://imgur.com/a/r6tXMdfThanks
