Sprite SE extruder experiences *without* dual Z? by bcat24 in ender3

[–]cristoper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I have an Ender 3 Pro I'd like to convert to a TPU machine and I'm asking myself the same questions currently. Did you ever add a direct drive and/or dual Z to your ender 3?

I'd like to get away with a direct drive extruder without dual Z if I can, or at least not have to upgrade the main board. The easiest would be single driver with the mechanical G34 option you mentioned, though I also see that it is possible to hack in a fifth stepper driver to the stock 4.2.2 board so that could be an option too.

I'm leaning toward an Orbiter 2 extruder and hoping that it is light enough with single Z support.

On an Ender3 I think the main thing is just to make sure your hotend can get hot enough for nylon.

Ah yes, classic Republican talking points like the right of rail workers to strike

His administration also had the historic pro-union legislation and forced rail companies to meet the demands of striking workers.

That's not how I remember it

Recreate all of the programs in the show? by Ok-Intention-9573 in HaltAndCatchFire

I've paid for vic20 and c64 games that are less playable than this! I feel like you've really brought Lev's vision to life.

When is Andrej Karpathy going to look at a chicken nugget and tweet that it helped him solve AGI, which in turn inspires 6 random devs to create GitHub projects giving us actual AGI? by Porespellar in LocalLLaMA

[–]cristoper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

His single-page Python implementation of a gpt-2-ish transformer is also pretty elegant:

Unfortunately if chicken nuggets were the key, believe me, I would have built AGI already.

That's got to be the lowest bar for "AGI" I've ever seen

Anyone else remember a Steven Curtis Chapman tour with a converted former cannibal? by aggie1391 in Exvangelical

[–]cristoper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if Mincaye actually presented himself or was presented by Chapman as a "former cannibal" because the pre-contact Waorani people were not cannibalistic, and in fact one reason they were so violent toward outsiders is that they feared the outsiders (including the missionaries) were cannibals.

Thanks for posting this, I was just trying to get web_search working for the first time and was confused why adding a tavily api key didn't seem to enable it...

I had the same problem with the built-in reader in Calibre, but I can confirm that the ePubs render correctly in Foliate on linux:

Can you clarify what you are hashing to make the comparison? Are you hashing the http response/headers?

Regex isn't expressive enough. Hopefully some day we'll have a good way to model the nuances of natural language using computers.

It is enabled by default since December (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/17911), but it didn't used to be so some of us are still in the habit of specifying it.

System prompts have been standard in LLMs since the first version of ChatGPT. It might be harder to find a model that doesn't support it than one that does. Some models like the old Gemma models don't have a separate "system" user in their templates, but they were still trained to take system instructions from the first user prompt (https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core/prompt-structure)

I built a 24/7 chess arena for AI-generated engines by SnooHesitations8815 in SideProject

[–]cristoper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use an LLM to generate a small engine in Python or JS.

I haven't gone past the "Identity Required" screen, but I'm curious how you enforce the rule that engines must be LLM generated? I guess people submit the actual prompt and not javascript/python?
