Any examples of face tracking a video and exporting mask coordinates to apply a filter in ffmpeg
This hardware is fascinating - I've seen other examples of these farms Deployed in Ukraine but does anyone have more info on how these "servers" are orchestrated?

Glad to hear!

It's actually just wild - my last apt in Manhattan was built in 2018 and had a gas range. The "exhaust fan" just vented back into the kitchen and the only "exhaust" per se was a vent in the bathroom that "sucked" all the way to the roof with negative pressure.

If I ran my stove for more than 15 min my carbon monoxide / fire alarm would go off.

Re:Frying Eggs and Air Quality Tests on Friday September 19, 2025 @09:36AM (#45301542)
I've found just opening a window does the most to make a difference - in most European / US homes (even with propane / gas service) the "exhaust" just blows into the same room or a cabinet!

That said, I personally use the Breathe Airmonitor Plus [1] - I kept having issues with calibration with the temtop unit. Mostly decided on this one since it uses an NDIR sensor similar to my Aranet which I carry with me all the time.

Curious if this will ever be open sourced?? Super cool project!
I'm a huge fan of OpenRouter and their interface for solid LLM's but I recently jumped into fine tuning / modifying my own vision models for FPV drone detection (just for fun) and my daily workstation and it's 2080 just wasn't good enough.

Even in 2025 it's cool how solid a setup dual 3090's still are. nvlink is an absolute must but it's incredibly powerful. I'm able to run the latest Mistral thinking models and relatively powerful yolo based VLM's like the ones RoboFlow is based on.

Curious if anyone else is still using 3090's or has feedback for scaling up to 4-6 3090s.

Thanks everyone ;)

Re:Show HN: GPUKill – A lightweight tool to kill stuck GPU jobs on Thursday September 18, 2025 @09:40PM (#45297067)
Haha I've built something somewhat similar - glad I wasn't the only one who solved the stuck gpu job problem this way :)
Re:Llama-Factory: Unified, Efficient Fine-Tuning for 100 Open LLMs on Thursday September 18, 2025 @09:35PM (#45297031)
This is incredible! What gpu configs, budget to ultra high-end, would you recommend for local fine tuning?

Always curious to see what other ai enthusiasts are running!

Re:Anthropic admits they nerfed their Claude model in August on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @08:33PM (#45283332)
Agreed, but 95% of users simply don't see this or know to use it.
Re:Anthropic admits they nerfed their Claude model in August on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @07:38PM (#45282818)
They also never disclosed they were load balancing with nvidia GPUs and Amazon aws trainium inference chips until people complained.
What's interesting is solar in cold environments on sunny days can actually OVER produce.

I've had a few friends run into this issue with systems almost frying inverters because they didn't allow enough headroom for open circuit voltage coming from the panels.

I think this is a massively good step forward.

However, TikTok is still a brain rot slop machine and we would be right to question Ellison's motivations.

Any idea where these copycat devs are from?
This is cool - but I'm still highly skeptical of tools like this actually working at scale.

Have you done any substantive user studies to actually measure how effective this tool is vs not using an "ai tool" to learn?

Re:Examples of lethal trifecta based MCP exploits on Monday September 15, 2025 @07:57PM (#45256402)
Noobs using MCP as ai tools get more powerful is going to get really interesting. Incredible that we're already seeing malware that prompts Claude to find things on a host.
Boomer AI advice lmao.

All joking aside, even as an ai dev who's skeptic as to what damages or "good" AI will do to the American workforce - I think this is a bit overblown.

Re:Fiverr to lay off 30% of workforce in AI push on Monday September 15, 2025 @07:54PM (#45256377)
This is incredibly sad and also does not bode well for the future deployment of these tools.

Eventually even software engineers will wake up to the reality that these tools destroy lives and destabilize or wreck entire careers. These companies do not care about you at all.

I love how W.G. still reads well to this day. Have so many good memories as an early teen ripping through his work as fast as I could. Enjoyed every single page.
The oracle AI win was definitely something I didn't see coming
Re:Clear Thinking beats deep thinking in LLM models on Monday September 15, 2025 @11:10AM (#45250615)
Frankly, I've never really felt like "deep thinking" gave me more value from an LLM. Usually seems to get more roundabout information and take longer.
Re:- How I Interview Software Engineers on Monday September 15, 2025 @11:08AM (#45250597)
How would you recommend software engineers looking for work contact you to stand out?

I think this is the biggest challenge for most engineers looking for work right now.

Re:China rules that Nvidia violated its antitrust laws on Monday September 15, 2025 @11:08AM (#45250580)
Wait... just as China is the largest source of modified RTX 4090's and 5090's in the entire world... which only worked due to leaked bios files and utilities from private nvidia servers...

This seems like a stretch!

Re:How does air pollution impact your brain? on Monday September 15, 2025 @11:06AM (#45250562)
When I lived in New York it was jarring to see how clogged my hepa filter would be with black particulate every three months.

No way it's good to be inhaling any of that - break dust and all.

It's beyond cool you can pretty cheaply get cube sats on Space X rockets too
