  • That requires an IR source. The glow in the dark might trigger without an external IR source. So depends on the capabilities of the system in question. Some have active IR scene illuminators, some are passive.

  • It sounds like something similar to RAG (retrieval augmented generation) or a database lookup. Are you storing the transcripts in a SQL like database or noSQL db or doing semantic similarity on any of it?

    I was thinking of a similar project and building a knowledge graph for each person.

  • Try these steps:

     
        
    $ sudo apt-get purge nvidia* # remove current installed nvidia software including drivers
    $ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # verify it sees your graphics card
    $ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # install drivers automatically
    $ sudo reboot
    
      

    This is everything I ended up doing which eventually fixed it for me:

     
        
    # Update repo
    sudo apt update
    
    # Remove amdgpu drivers
    sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
    sudo apt purge libdrm-amdgpu*
    sudo apt purge libdrm-amdgpu1
    
    # Blacklist the amdgpu driver since we are using nvidia only
    echo "blacklist amdgpu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    
    # Remove nvidia driver and install from system76 repo
    sudo apt purge *nvidia*
    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:system76-dev/stable
    sudo apt install -y system76-driver-nvidia
    sudo apt upgrade -y
    sudo reboot
    
      
  • Nobody would watch the slop without human spark. I’ve seen early renditions of what AI video generation can do. It sucks. Nobody would watch that slop. However, with proper tooling to allow a human to create something, it will be amazing.

  • I’m not interested in books championing our reduction of human expansion. I want to see us reach out into the stars one day. Technological development and progress is needed. We need to also change our mindset on current systems. E.g., if it doesn’t maximize return on investment, forget about it. If there is a way to do it slightly cheaper even if it’s detrimental, do it cheaper. That mindset sucks.

  • I am biased, I am having a ton of fun with LLMs and they are helping me achieve some personal goals. Do they use energy? Sure. Will new, more powerful technologies come along later that require even greater amounts of energy? I hope so one day. We need to find cleaner more abundant energy sources.

  • Well for me, I enjoy pair programming my own projects with offline models. I also bounce ideas off it to attempt to ground myself in some type of reality (some models are better for this than others… probably has risk of delusions of grandeur. Some models will just verbally suck you off which is annoying).

    I built ansible tooling for deploying k3s kubernetes and Ceph-backed Proxmox clusters and VMs and containers and services. Utilized the help of LLMs to structure my playbooks and figure out how roles work.

    I love learning new things and LLMs have a lot to offer in that regard. You have to watch out for the bullshit and independently look at other sources as well, but it’s a great starting point and I can sometimes have sone deep conversations around some topics.

  • I think it’s probably a bit early to tell for certain on that assessment. There is definitely pros and cons to all technology. Electricity production causes environmental damage, building wooden houses require logging. Plastics are a byproduct of a withering industry. Asbestos might have saved more lives than it took, but there were probably much better ways to solve fire resistant buildings.

    Why all these destructive things? Capitalism requires maximizing profits above all else. So, really the question is how will capitalism fuck us over with AI? So, so many ways. That’s why it’s important that we build community understanding of this technology in order to combat it. It’s not going away. It’s here to stay. So we either put our heads in the sand and pretend it’s not here or we can embrace it and learn how it works and how to defeat it and come up with open source tooling to combat it.

    I’m in the latter camp. I love technology breakthroughs and want to learn first hand the capabilities to understand how it will be used against me and how I can use it.
