thank you :) I still have to catalogue, scan and insert the written diaries and some photos that I am hunting in the family places haha

I loved the book. It should be re published with (2026)

Ask HN: Best flow to preserve digitalized rare photos?

inb4: I am non native so I proofreaded the below paragraph with AI, sorry for the em dashI just managed to download and safely store approximately 4,729 digitized photographic slides that my grandfather took throughout his life while traveling around the world. I roughly know the timeframe spans from the 1960s to the 2000s. Some are labeled; others are not. The chronological order is completely...

It almost seems like we got inspiration from our brain to build neural networks!

I find it amazing, that we can build microprocessors with transistors the size of a DNA molecule
Hello! On Open WebUI using ollama as a backend :)

I guess Ollama needs to update their version, maybe!

Also: I simply asked to the 7B model "hi, who are u":

Thought for 1 seconds Okay, the user is asking "Who are u?" with a casual tone ("u" instead of "you", exclamation mark). Let me break this down.

First, I need to address the question itself. They want to know who I am as an AI assistant. My standard response is that I'm DeepSeek R1, designed to be helpful and handle reasoning step by step. But maybe they're not familiar with AI terms in general. The "u" part might just be their way of speaking, so I should reply politely using "you" form.

Next, considering the context. They started with an HTML tag " "

----

And it hung there without a reply. It might be an OpenWebUI bug but not so promising

I think they should start aiming for 20B models along with 32B and 7B. Usually 7B is enough for a 8GB GPU, 32B requires a 24GB GPU for decent quants (I can fit a 32B with IQ3_XXS but is not ideal) while 20-ish B models (such as magistral or gpt-oss) are a perfect fit for 16GB GPUs

I was very hyped: maybe Google finally did something new, complete, unifying CLI and IDE, a sort of Claude Code Web but as an efficient, IDE-like, local thing.

Then I installed it and it was a VSCode fork.

Looks like Gemma 3 27b is quite creative in fictional scenarios.

Re:You-get: Dumb downloader that scrapes the web on Sunday October 27, 2024 @12:06PM (#41963557)
I like this. I am imagining a companion extension for chrome/ff that uses you-get as a backend to implement it in a seamless way. Forward thinking idea: imagine going on youtube and have you-get extension bypass the youtube player and playing the content directly without ads. When I say youtube I might also say any other platform.
This is surely useful right now. I wonder what will happens to all the nice X11 tools once Wayland (hopefully soon) will be the golden standard. There are options to enable X11 behaviors in Wayland but I guess that is just a fallback to the insecure implementation.

Update: v 1.1 is out!

- # Changelog

## [1.1] - 2024-03-19

### Added - New `model_tokens.json` file containing token limits for various Ollama models. - Dynamic token limit updating based on selected model in options. - Automatic loading of model-specific token limits from `model_tokens.json`. - Chunking and recursive summary for long pages - Better handling of markdown returns

### Changed - Updated `manifest.json` to include `model_tokens.json` as a web accessible resource. - Modified `options.js` to handle dynamic token limit updates: - Added `loadModelTokens()` function to fetch model token data. - Added `updateTokenLimit()` function to update token limit based on selected model. - Updated `restoreOptions()` function to incorporate dynamic token limit updating. - Added event listener for model selection changes.

### Improved - User experience in options page with automatic token limit updates. - Flexibility in handling different models and their respective token limits.

### Fixed - Potential issues with incorrect token limits for different models.

I applied (for now) a pre-filled table with a 4096 default limit. Users can also specify an upper or lower limit from the UI directly now. Added chunk and recursive summarization too.

Hi! This was a good suggestion! I implemented it in v 1.1 which is already out :)

Personally I use llama3.1:8b or mistral-nemo:latest which have a decent contex window (even if it is less than the commercial ones usually). I am working on a token calculator / division of the content method too but is very early
