This is genuinely really cool.
The best/worst part of the AI boom for me has been waiting for the advances to trickle down in terms of open source models and on-device models, rather than having to send everything up to the cloud.
Obviously this isn’t an open source model, but the on-device processing is great.
The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, one-millionth of a whole brain, and contains roughly 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses — the connections between neurons. It incorporates a colossal 1.4 petabytes of data.
Assuming this means the total data of the map is 1.4 petabytes. Crazy to think that mapping of the entire brain will probably happen within the next century.
The foam thing that rests on your face is personalised. Some reviews mentioned having to do scans of your face with an iPhone before purchasing.
That’s not the point of this I think lol. It’s very impressive as a tech demo, that even a device even as underpowered as a Pi can run these AI models to a passable degree.
Just to play devils advocate here, in both of these scenarios:
Imagine someone would sneak into your home and steal your shoes, socks and underwear just to get off on that or give it to someone who does.
This reminds me of that fetish, where one person is basically acting like a submissive pet and gets treated like one by their “master”. They get aroused by doing that in public, one walking with the other on a leash like a dog on hands and knees. People around them become passive participants of that spectactle. And those often feel violated.
The person has the knowledge that this is going on. In he situation with AI nudes, the actual person may never find out.
Again, not to defend this at all, I think it’s creepy af. But I don’t think your arguments were particularly strong in supporting the AI nudes issue.
That’s an idealistic sentiment to have that is unfortunately not representative of our current society at all.
Apple’s stock price would disagree with you there
Step 1: get a cat
Step 2: ???
Profit!
I’d assume it’s got something to do with the system you’re using them on, some issue with power or something that better quality drives are able to handle, but not these.
These are cheap, yes, but if everyone ordering these was failing just outside the return period, they’d have far more 1 star ratings.
If you have regular backups, not an issue. I use bitwarden self hosted through home assistant, which makes daily backups trivial.
There’s a forum I think, discord seems to be, as it clearly says, for real-time support and discussion.
I despise Discord as an alternative to a proper support forum, but having both options like this is great.
In what world is this is a resource monster??
Super interesting read. We get to experience apple’s incredible engineering, but we don’t often get the chance to see how things work under the hood. This was probably the most interesting article I’ve read in the past month.
.com domains recently got more expensive. Almost double in price compared to CloudFlare (who sell domains at cost).
There’s a project called Tabby that your can host as a server on a machine that has a GPU, and has a VSCode extension that connects to the server.
The default model is called starcoder, and it’s the small version, 1B parameters. The downside is that it’s not super smart (but still an improvement over built in tools), but since it’s such a small model, I’m getting sub-second processing times.
It’s been 3 weeks, haha, but yeah I got around to giving it a try. The verdict is… It’s basically the same. I will be continuing to do it the way that I did before since it’s easier, but I have enjoyed this experience of having my horizons broadened :D
And power, that’s a pretty important metric if you plan on running something 24/7.
Wow Change Detection seems like a much better alternative to curling a webpage and using grep to search for particular elements… :/
