For local LLM there are Ollama and LM Studio. How is this different?
Re:What Is the Nicest Thing a Stranger Has Ever Done for You? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @01:11PM (#46256574)
I was at an antique shop in Alameda about to buy a pulp sci-fi book. It was just a couple of bucks, nothing expensive. But the card reader wasn't accepting my Apple Pay. Another guy shopping there offered to pay for me. I told him I could Venmo or PayPal him the money, but he wouldn't take it. It wasn't a big deal in terms of money, but he didn't have to do that

Show HN: GffutilsAI, an agent to analyze genomic files

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.02.690645v1

I've been working on an agent to interact with genomics files (GFF) without coding. It uses the gffutils Python library and Biopython in the backend to ensure deterministic results for coordinate searches and gene lookups.You can use any model through Ollama (local) or connect to major LLM providers (bring your own API key). It is currently in a PoC state, but fully functional. I would...

Re:How to sequence your DNA for <$2k on Saturday October 18, 2025 @05:42PM (#45630563)
it depends of the sample. usually you have at least 1200, with a guaranteed of at least 800, so maybe he could ask for a refund.
Re:How to sequence your DNA for <$2k on Saturday October 18, 2025 @05:28PM (#45630483)
yes, the difference here is that the $1000 tag is "at-scale price". You reach that price point by running multiple sequencing with a set of reactive.

Shameless plug: made a parquet conversion utility: pip install parquetconv

It is a command line wrapper to generate a Pandas SF and save it as CSV (or the other way around)

"...the investigator thought that Tesla was being collaborative with the investigation at the time..."

So this is also a failure of the investigator.

thank you. Is there any "docker host" or centralized repo where I can pull VMs from?
There are python and node environment for this, so they are not VMs in the sense that I can host a OS and arbitrary executables?

Why is this Hacker news?
That is the way it works, there is no "evidence of being disappeared", as there is no negative probe. This already happened in Argentina in the 70's, there were no record, in many cases until several years after, or never.

Re:The Mafias Behind Sand Trafficking in Latin America on Saturday February 08, 2025 @10:15PM (#42988146)
your answer was like "tell me you don't live in a third-world country without telling me..." I am from Argentina so I know: You go to buy sand and are offered the legit one at a price hard to afford, or the "black" one with some discount. This way you learn there is a black market. Maybe for one bag you will get the same price anyway, but when you need an important amount of it, there will be 2 prices. If you are in a beach town, you hear the rumors about why there is less sand.

yes, when I tried this some years ago I only could set the first 3 o 4 characters, after that, it took more time I was willing to wait. I don't know how is it today.
Re:The Naming of America (2001) on Monday October 07, 2024 @06:23PM (#41771726)
it is not appropriate for non-US people since the name "America" clash with how they name the continent (America), so they believe that Americans are "stealing" the name of the continent for themselves. While Americans don't think so because they don't even think there is such a continent, there are 2 continents for them.

Hitler's heir won't sue anybody, they didn't do it even when copyright for them was current.
the iso is 68mb or so, so the model is not there, how does it work? (tried on Oracle VM and didn't work but seems it is not supported)
Been in the US 4 years under L1, then changed status to E-2, so far 2 times, so that is almost 8 years working legally in the US. No path to citizenship and can't get out from US to my country without loosing status. Is there anything different I could do to improve my situation?
