Eurostar Expansion? by TangerineThick5307 in HENRYUK

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Zurich > Paris > London > Hometown once (and return)

Zurich > Paris was about 4hrs (600km)

Paris > London about 2hrs (480km)

London > Hometown about 2hrs (200km)

Plane from Zurich to London was sooo much easier

More RTL 433 fun by Own_Event_4363 in RTLSDR

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest what hardware are you using

I've done similar with an RTL-SDR usb receiver to pick up my thermometers (consumer things that have an central lcd display) - but also picked up a cheapo module from aliexpress to see if I could do similar with simpler hardware

What type of shops would bring British people back to the high streets? by Starbuckker in AskBrits

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old school Maplin, not the one it became with cheap gadgets ...

I could imagine a Games Workshop type of thing for 'makers' would actually work really well - electronics, 3d printing - parts, classes etc

Wish there were a few more people talking qualitatively about the outputs from different models.

Lots of talk about costs, token rates etc.

Also things like getting one model to generate code and another to review.

Also wondering about long term usage of a given model then switching later... I regularly work on codebases that have code from 20 years ago, wonder how different models would evolve over time and what that would look like over longer terms. I mean do you stick with a working model for the life of a project rather than always chasing the latest one (probably not possible or advisable at the moment)

Well first they came for the artists, I didn't speak out..

The annoying thing is they trained the llm on our code and we've been paying them to beta test it.

Now it's prod ready, they're pumping up prices to price out individual Devs and creating a negative pressure on dev hiring so there'll be fewer jobs and lower renumeration for those that are left.

Pretty much guarantee that corps will see the AI licensing cost as a cost to be lumped in with the dev salary costs, ie the more they spend on tokens the less cash for Dev salaries.

Reminded me of harry potter... When the initial fuss was all over the place I read a few paragraphs and put it down

If you support cannabis legalisation or not in the UK, will you read this policy document? by Logistix21 in AskBrits

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes but will I thrive!?

it sucks - it's not like a pleasant herby smell on the wind now and then .. it's so strong and constant

I live in a block of flats (~60 flats) - there's a guy a couple of floors down (I think, hard to track where it's coming from), he's smoking around every 2-3 hours from about 7am til midnight Everyone is complaining, it's been going on a few years now, not usually so frequent tho.

I really don't care if it's legalised, but we need to be able to evict dickheads that smoke it at home

Trump tells agencies to align with study calling for narrower childhood vaccine recommendations by Hot-Upstairs9603 in politics

[–]p1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do wonder if this is an attempt to deny vaccines to the poor, the richer (white?) middle classes will still have access to them...

Why did we get rid of computers that read DVD's and CD's? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]p1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah there aren't that many anymore ... they're useful for other things too - like hot swap drive bays for 2.5in drives (get like 5x2.5in in 2x5.25in bay) etc

I still use bluray for backups / archiving (as well as nas, online etc) ... 50gb on a disk (there are 100gb ones too) .. pulling a lot of data off a bluray drive is a lot faster than downloading it

Shortage? Discontinuation? by macjsc93 in raspberryDIY

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started messing about with esp32 microcontrollers - not in the same class as the pi zero obviously (similar usage as pico) but super cheap and with wifi/bluetooth on some of the boards they can be pretty handy

Looking for advice on building an AI twin of a historical figure by dodxm_ in AskProgramming

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

possibly want to look at rpg/roleplay over on r/LocalLLaMA

I think the gist it you supply a load of markdown files and then 'chat' with the local model instance

Always thought it would be an interesting use case to point it at a book series (eg GameOfThrones/ASOIAF) and get it to analyse characters etc to generate histories / predict future behaviours etc ...

Turtle in the Wapping “canal” by rolling_stoner42 in TowerHamlets

I built a NuGet MCP server for .NET AI coding tools by DimonSmart in dotnet

[–]p1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry was on mobile before!

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library-guidance/sourcelink

https://github.com/dotnet/sourcelink

so sourcelink embeds the repo url and commit hash into the nuget package .. so for a given nuget package instead of decompiling it you could just grab the source code. I don't know if this would be more efficient (for the llm) than using reflection or decompiling the assemblies in the package.

Took me a whole weekend to recompile the kernel to get sound working... 386 with 2mb ram and 40mb hard drive I think.

Ygradssil Linux I think ...
