Have you played around with hosting your own LLM? I've just started running oobabooga, it lets you download various LLMs and host them. I've been working on getting it set up so the AI can provide text for Piper, and take input from Whisper. It requires ideally an nvidia card, but will work with AMD and CPU. That would let you use the API to get text for piper to read. It's a lot more privacy oriented than sending your queries off to ChatGPT. The larger models do take more CPU/RAM/VRAM to run, but perhaps a smaller tuned model would suit your needs.
I've also killed a lot of plants in my time....I wonder if this is where they go!
Gardening in a nutshell: "My soul may be a blackened, withered and dry husk, but my plant babies are thriving!"
GOG Connect did it until January of this year. You could sync certain games from your GOG library and get a Steam Key for it. It wasn't popular with publishers I'm assuming, because Capitalism; the number of titles you could do it to had dwindled to almost nothing, but it's happened.
ABSOLUTELY.
Never use one source for critical data! One backup is no backups! No backups is playing with the entropic forces of the universe!
- Have at least three copies of your data - primary, backup, and offsite backup.
- Store the copies on at least two different media types.
- Keep at least one of those copies offsite - what if your house or datacenter burned down?
If you don't care about recovering your photos, by all means use an actively changing project as your sole means of data storage!
Gorgeous painting. It's depressing that a nearly a century and a half later, 'Doing X while black', sometimes even a representation of such, where X is a perfectly normal human activity is still cause for histrionics for many.
I like the concept, here's a few questions!
- What's the form factor of your project?
- Will it be waterproof or just a housing for the electronics?
- Is it wall powered or battery?
I've been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I'm wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I'd prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and....Goku?
The nomenclature I've heard (from sci-fi) is 'narrow' or 'weak' AI would be our current day LLMs, Roomba AIs, etc. It's restricted in capability and lacks true intelligence. 'Strong' or 'General' AI would be at the level of a human and have true comprehension and the ability to learn. We don't have this yet, unless Dr. Alfred J. Lanning is out there working on positronics. 'Super' AI will be beyond human capability. Probably will kick off the Singularity.
Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for 'rising market costs'!
Penicillin is arguably the most helpful medical discovery of the 20th century. It was discovered in 1928 as the active agent in a mould that can destroy and inhibit bacteria. Humans wind up with so many nasty bacterial infections like pneumonia that previously might just kill you, now were treatable! Not only did we discover (and eventually, mass produce) this particular drug, but it also kick started a whole new family of antibiotics for treating diseases.
Of course, we do eventually wind up some issues with antibiotic resistances of bacteria and some people wind up allergic, but at the time of discovery it must have truly seemed a panacea. Note that the Penicillium genus was known to be doing something against infections since the late 1880's, but the exact mechanism had not been identified.
So uh, what are the story beats of Squadron 42, exactly? And what kind of release date does it have? And say, what exactly, are the features it offers? Because it's been in development for 10 years now, and literally all I've ever heard is 'It'll be good, trust us!', and yet I've seen less gameplay from it then Star Marine.
I'm running a few Reolink RLC-520A's on a separate VLAN with Frigate and Home Assistant - no GPU or Coral yet, just a CPU detector. It works pretty well! The reason they might not be the first choice is that YMMV with HA/Frigate compatibility based on which model you get, a little research must be done. Frigate has some specific settings to make the RTSP work better on the models that are functional.
Do you have Ship Parts in your cargo hold? Pushing 0 should let you repair. Also a Ship Services Technician will gladly take 1000 credits to repair as well
The exciting existential-crisis results are often less 'Eureka!' and more 'Huh, that's weird', right?
That looks like fun! Those visuals are my jam!
It can provide ical feeds per project, which you could add to a single calendar.
Watch out bot, the Times might come for you next...
