Nostr protocol
The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.
Awesome list for Nostr
It looks like another attempt to create decentralised social site. More geeky one than Threads and even Mastodon, but simpler and more flexible. Must try to create transport for Zomia to Nostr as alternative to RSS.
It looks like global warmer accelerating
This autumn, it adopted the goals of the 2050 Paris Agreement on climate change:
In September it was +1.75 to the pre-industrial level.
ChatGPT is better at answering to common nutrition questions than Nutritions
I have been using LLM as a nutritionist for some time. Not only for a food, but also for supplements and medicines (not a recommendation).
Open-Meteo
The best way to see at how biased you are. With the service the statements such as: "It's never rained as much as today" becomes "The last time it rained as much as today was 3 years ago".
Monaspace Fonts
In recent years I have seen a trend towards the creation of special "programmer fonts". These are designed to make working with code more comfortable. Reading the code has become so widespread that it is no longer enough to have few standard Monotype fonts. Now we have tons of them: for a different products and for different applications.
Here is the new step: a family of typefaces designed to work together. You can use one for function names and another for variables for example.
Intel 80386, a revolutionary CPU
Story about Intel 386 processor and how Intel starts to control the whole PC market.
The interesting thing is how people in the company changed their minds and came to believe in the x86 as the main architecture of the future computer.
The gist point of the story: 386 was not the best processor on the market but it has the best timing for the features it has and good backward compatibility. As a result, it give the Intel the crown of the PC market.
Immanuel Kant—What can we know?
In other words, how we see the world is shaped by how we see and think. We can not know the world as it truly is because we can only experience it through our own senses and thoughts.
Our mind filters and shapes what we can know about the world.
So we must understand how our mind works. And this is what Kant’s book is about.
… a monumental bedrock for inquiries into the nature of knowledge in Science, Art and of course the current endeavors of Artificial Intelligence
GPT Builder for subscriber of ChatGPT
Looks like a chatbot builder. There was a first idea for startup that I had after announcing the ChatGPT.
AI generated Audiobooks on Amazon Invites only and US-only :(
We did something similar in Litres, but without AI and with real human voices. It worked well. The main problem was compliance/rights for the books. So Amazon is just for Kindle Direct Publishing.
I see it as an intermediate step: we are moving to real-time, high-quality text-to-speech generation. It solves everything. End users can listen to their own books, there is no rights issue, and there is a lot more popular content.
GoAccess was designed to be a fast, terminal-based log analyzer
Its core idea is to quickly analyze and view web server statistics in real time without needing to use your browser
999 Request Denied
The company has demonstrated Llama2-7B up and running on its single-chip PCIe card at 60 tokens/second (16 users/batch=16)
It shows the possibility to have running local LLM on the phone:
TDP of 55 W alongside 33-GB LPDDR5
Still too much for phone but near it.
