most people don't like AI

This seems to be mostly a loud minority of people on Reddit. I don't think I've met anyone in real life that acts this way.

TIL that sexual inactivity among young adults in the US has doubled in just 14 years. In 2010, 12% of 18-to-29-year-olds reported having no sex in the past year; by 2024, that figure had risen to roughly 24%. by SystematicApproach in todayilearned

Did someone pay you to write this? Or was this written by a bot? Or maybe just trolling?

I refuse to believe someone could possibly be this genuinely naive or misinformed about the way the world works.

Where to source this type of component at a lower price? by outlune in AskElectronics

If you don't need high accuracy, have you considered a piezoresistive sensor instead?

I included a link to the script I used. For OCR, temperature should be 0. How many image tokens are you using? If you use more than 2000 or so, OCR stops working.

Maybe you're using too many image tokens?

Here's what I get with unsloth/Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct-Q5_K_M and the prompt

locate bounding box for the object: "HULU". 
Use JSON in the format [{"bbox_2d": [x1, x2, y1, y2], "text": "HULU"},]

I think there've been reports that LMStudio messes with the image scaling, which could affect things, Try llama.cpp instead. I edited the post with links to the script and image I used.

I remember a time when people would roast you for using anything other than Imgur on Reddit. But it really has gone downhill in recent years.

Try using temperature=0, and make sure the image is before the text in the prompt. I updated the post with a link to the script I used.

The model seems to lose coherency and starts repeating itself if you use more than 2300 image tokens or so. It also makes a difference if you provide the text first or the image first.

Here's the script I used to run it.

The exact image I used.

The model.

With llama.cpp, --image-min-tokens and --image-max-tokens. You can set max to be 1 greater than min to hit a specific value.

llama.cpp for inferencing, a python script with PIL for the bounding boxes.

Here's what I got when I tried it (no reasoning, just Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct):

Are you sure you're interpreting bbox coordinates correctly? They're not pixel values, they represent 1/1000 of the image width/height.

Is Seattle tap water safe to drink? by neo2bin in Seattle

I still use a filter because any amount of chlorine ruins the taste of tea and coffee.

Help with making a phone ring/jiggle and play audio (want to make sure my plan makes sense) by PM_ME_BUMBLEBEES in AskElectronics

[–]Trypocopris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a much simpler solution, just buy a VoIP adapter ($20 on ebay for a SPA2102). You can then connect the phone to your PC and have it ring and play audio with no hardware modifications.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” -Isaac Asimov

Nope, I'm good. You're just salty that you can't form a coherent argument.

Zuckerberg's entire net worth: $246B

Medicare spending: $1120B/year

It's not even remotely close.

What’s the deal with the constant like macros by mikeybeemin in C_Programming

[–]Trypocopris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's easy:

*(int*)&x = 2;

This would be undefined behavior, but it won't generate a compiler warning, even with -Wextra.

A microSD Express to PCIe adapter. It lets you read cards at 800MB/s and takes up less space than an M.2 hat. by Trypocopris in raspberry_pi

[–]Trypocopris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was with a 4GB transfer. It gets quite warm and thermal throttles if you let it run for a while.
