  • What open source project is the most exciting for you right now?

    Jump

  • Doubt that it would be Meshtastic, it is inherently not built for internet levels of bandwidth. But I can see a future where you have intranets that are free and community driven with something like Meshtastic with higher bandwidth and you still pay for an ISP that can give you access to the full internet (because nothing currently can replace underwater optic fiber)

  • They are human too! Can't you see!!?

  • I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?

    Jump

  • Shower faster? How long are you in the shower to have time to develop good ideas and have time to forget them?

  • What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for?

    Jump

  • Buying new: Basically all of the integrated memory units like macs and amd's new AI chips, after that any modern (last 5 years) gpu while focusing only on vram (currently nvidia is more properly supported in SOME tools)

    Buying second hand: not likely to find any of the integrated memory stuff, so any GPU from the last decade that is still officially supported and focusing on vram.

    8gb is enough to run basic small models, 20+ for pretty capable 20-30b models, 50+ for the 70b ones and 100-200+ for full sized models.

    These are rough estimates, do your own research as well.

    For the most part with LLMs for a single user you really only care about VRAM and storage speed(ssd) Any GPU will perform faster than you can read for anything that fully fits on it's VRAM, so the GPU only matters if you intend on running large models at extreme speeds (for automation tasks, etc) And the storage is a bottleneck at model load, so depending on your needs it might not be that big of an issue for you, but for example with a 30gb model you can expect to wait 2-10 minutes for it to load into the vram from an HDD, about 1 minute with a sata SSD, and about 4-30 seconds with an NVMe.

    Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

    Jump

  • You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.

    Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device?

    Jump

  • It's very very unlikely that your TV and your device connected to it both support and enable ethernet over HDMI by default. But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection.

    Personally I also opened my TV and disconnected the wifi card since in theory the TV could also just try to connect to any open wifi in the area without me knowing, but to each their own threat model.

  • WHY THIS $12 Aliexpress Module is FANTASTIC?

    Jump

  • Really not worth the watch, also, all of their videos have the same title and thumbnail of roughly "WHY THIS $X ALIEXPRESS X IS AMAZING"

  • You form a new international holiday. What is it, how do we celebrate it, and how does it affect the world?

    Jump

  • Science and Logic day! 23rd of January. Or 12th of March

    Celebrations include home science projects, appreciation of scientists and professors, local interactive educational scientific events, etc

    The affects would be appreciation of truth and logic which would fight the misinformation issues that we currently have, and it will also serve to educate people and inspire them to seek further education and understanding.

  • He still hasn't totally retracted his claim.

    The causal association between Tylenol given in pregnancy in the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism, However, it is very suggestive.

    Trickle truthing vibes, maybe in a year he will retract it.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • Anything exposed to the internet gets a daily / weekly update, depending on how exposed it is, how stable the updates are and how critical a breach would be. For example nginx would be a daily update.

    Anything behind a vpn gets a more random update schedule mostly based on when I feel like it (probably around once a month or every other month)

  • Tip, look at second hand sites/fb marketplace (i know 😒) you can find great deals.

  • What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?

    Jump

  • Attaching things, hanging things, making custom items such as a keyring, lifting or carrying things, dog leash if you find a stray, and more.

    Jump

  • Rope.

    Buy some rope, like 3 different sizes: 1-2mm, 4-6mm and 10-12mm. Watch a few rope videos and then throw the ropes in some drawer. Every now and again you will have an issue that the ropes can fix.

    As a kid I once got a 15mm*40m rope for my birthday from my uncle, I thought it was the weirdest thing, but over the years I used it so much that these days I consider it to be one of the best gifts I've ever received. And as long as you don't need them for anything related to safety, they basically cant expire.

  • What's that longest time you went without eating? Why?

    Jump

  • Yeah no... I was not kidding, literally the second I swallowed the first bite I felt perfectly fine. That can't be anything related to metabolism.

  • What's that longest time you went without eating? Why?

    Jump

  • I once wanted to see how long I can go, at 32 hours I felt like I was about to die so I stopped. Literally one bite made all of the terrible feeling go away and to this day it both annoys me and freaks me out that it was all psychological.

    Like seriously brain? Couldn't handle not eating so badly that you decided to make me feel like shit? But also damn, if that's how I felt about not eating, addictions sound much scarier now.
