There was a time when offline encyclopedias were used heavily as internet was not widely available. I used to install britannica encyclopedia and Microsoft Encarta on my PCs (I had no internet at home at that time) and it had helped me a lot between the years 1999 to 2006.Now we have open-weight LLMs. There are very good models of size < 15GB.So I’m wondering:- Are open-weight LLMs...

In what ways do large language models reshape or expand our understanding of classical information theory, particularly around concepts like meaning, entropy, and communication?
Why is this on page2 of HN! This should be on the front page.
Seems like he was involved in relationships with many collogues. He disclosed a few but not all.

It's strange that, this is not on the front page. This report is amazing and very well written.
Could you please add a pause button for the animations on your home page? They jump unexpectedly when you are reading the code snippet.

In our organization it's used a lot (sometimes overused), and I find it very helpful.
0.3 MP camera in 2021! Why ?
At least put a decent camera. 8 MP one would've been great.
If IBM could have taken Mainframe to the cloud, with option for CICS OLTP and COBOL/JCL Batch processes for smaller enterprises, it could have helped them a lot.
Any party caught willinging sabotaging such a prominent open source project would definitely face greater consequences than just a ban.

Can't handle multi-page documents properly. You have to enter the page number, after uploading the doc and you can only annotate that single page.
This would make pick-pocketers' life easy .
thanks for the warning. reading comments first always helps.
Does gitlab offer a stripped down version with only vanila 'git' ?
MS Office suite for Linux would be a game changer for Linux.

If we were to design a brand new internet for today's world, can we develop it such a way that:1- Finding information is trivial2- You don't need services indexing billions of pages to find any relevant documentIn our current internet, we need a big brother like Google or Bing to effectively find any relevant information in exchange for sharing with them our search history, browsing habits etc....
I am a resident of Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, India . We are currently bearing the brunt of Cyclone Fani. The wind speed was phenomenal , comparable to the super cyclone of 1999.
Even after 48 hours the city is in dark.
But thanks to proactive steps of the govt agencies the casualty number is much less than that of '99s.
Yes. I could see the images on my mobile browser. The very aggressive corporate proxy was probably blocking the images on my work machine.
The article has no photograph of the "badgir" (wind catcher). I had to search and see a few photographs to appreciate the design.

I am excited about both WebGL & Web assembly.
Although both of these have been around for a few years, we are yet to see a general adaptation of these. (might be due to inconsistent browser support).
Now with the rise of VR, 3d Printing, powerful GPUs these two technologies are bound to open new avenues of an immersive browsing experience. I imagine that in next few years we would have 1- Webs stores, that show a virtual 3d shopping mall, 2- 3-d virtual try out of garments, 3- VR coaching of physical activities like a- Playing Tennis, b- Judo, c-Taecondo, d- Dance
This is so creepy! I am sure there are plenty of such companies across globe scamming no so tech savvy tech people! There should be a global crack down against them. Also, big computer farms like Microsoft, Apple, HP, Dell, Acer should educate their customers about such scams.
