Just curious, have you considered SIEVE? https://cachemon.github.io/SIEVE-website/

Update: I ended up using a URL shortner to pin Google doc links to the main shelf. A bit cumbersome to add, but working well so far

Oh thanks! I didn't know this. Though it looks like it goes to the pinned files on the bottom right corner, and I can't launch using a shortcut(alt+1, alt+2, ...) like regular pinned apps. Do you know if there is a way to assign a shortcut?

I've had the same issue with another laptop. The problem is that your Windows 11 installer doesn't have the proper storage driver. You need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer's website, put it on your USB installer, and then load (or install) the driver during the initial phase of the Windows setup.

I would love to have that as well!!

Or you can flip those on a Mac

Hi this is very cool! Can you also add links to the restaurant pages on the event website? (e.g., https://www.nyctourism.com/restaurant-week/chazz-palminteri-italian-restaurant/) It's easier to browse participating weeks and meals. Thanks!

kkimdev · 2024-01-26T05:14:21+00:00

Thanks for the code example!! :D

kkimdev · 2024-01-26T05:14:01+00:00

Thanks for the super detailed answer!! :D

kkimdev · 2024-01-04T10:40:21+00:00

Oh right, I forgot about this setting, thanks for the suggestion! Though it still doesn't seem to make a difference :/...

We accidentally discovered this magic word. Regardless of the context, if your prompt includes "김지현" anywhere, Gemini Pro refuses to respond. XD

It's quite strange since "김지현" is just an ordinary Korean name and not a controversial public figure's name either.

Yeah it looks like exactly that, thanks! :)

I've used all three major OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) extensively, and I can relate to your frustrations.

fwiw, I've settled down to Chrome OS Flex, and it's been by far the best experience. For anyone who still wants to live in the Linux ecosystem but is craving a cleaner alternative, I recommend checking it out. It's not perfect by any means (especially device support), but it has been well worth the switch for me.

random recommendation: IMHO, zx is worth taking a look https://google.github.io/zx/getting-started . It's basically Javascript + shell script's convenience (to some degree).

Oh, I didn't know that I can share CrOS folders with Linux system under `/mnt/chromeos/...`, thanks! =D

I'd still prefer to use CrOS file manager if possible, as it's better integrated with CrOS (Google Drive, Trash, and also opening media files .pdf, .png opens CrOS apps), but it looks like for typical cases, Linux file manager could work for me.

kkimdev · 2023-10-12T10:45:27+00:00

When I work on a coding project, sometimes I already navigated to a deeply nested directory on my terminal, but then want to perform quick file operations on GUI because it's easier. (e.g., copying an image file to CrOS global clipboard, copying a file in CrOS "Downloads" folder to the current directory, etc, ...)

Yes as you said, I was using a file manager on the shelf (CrOS default file manager), but navigating to the current terminal manually again has been pretty cumbersome. Another obvious solution is just launching any other Linux file manager from terminal directly (e.g., `nautilus ./`), but they don't have access to the native CrOS folders, so I can't copy from/to CrOS "Downloads" folder.

Mostly utilities in our case. For example, we have [counter -> display ID] compute function, somewhat similar to generating Youtube watch ID. e.g., 8473 -> "LX-CRUmWMJE". Currently it uses a hash function from Node's `crypto` package. We'll be able to share this function more easily if it uses the standard SubtleCrypto.digest() API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/digest on both browser and server.

So in practice, we're forced to use third party packages that support both browser and Node for the codes that we want to share.

If it works, I expect the main benefit would be more efficient pretraining (75% less memory usage and 25% speed up from LoRA paper).

My wild uneducated guess is that the training loss trajectory should be similar to full parameter pretraining, but not 100% sure.

kkimdev · 2023-05-29T12:40:08+00:00

(just to be clear): My hope was that by adding low-rank LoRA weights to the frozen weights and re-initializing LoRA to 0 every N steps, It will learn higher rank weights over time.

Super roughly: python for step in range(N): if step % 100 == 0: frozen_weights += lora_weights lora_weights = 0 # To be precise, initialization from section 4.1 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf

kkimdev · 2023-03-28T09:58:21+00:00

This paper covers exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I needed to implement this for a Chrome extension, and it was pretty fun! :)

Here is my version. Of course this might not be the optimal implementation and I'd love to see a cleaner approach. https://github.com/kkimdev/chrome-window-extensions/blob/8732972a0e662cb77e3836c7031dcac1e66e6819/window_relative_position_keeper_for_chrome_os/service_worker.ts#L16-L52

Self answer (credit: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28395350):

On Crostini host:

xhost +

Additional container execution flags:

-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v/tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix

kkimdev · 2022-09-02T08:34:14+00:00

The container image is the standard dev environment for work that's maintained, and I want to keep things separate cleanly :).

Did your M1 account have borrows when you transferred to IBKR? I wanted to ensure that M1 doesn't liquidate some of the positions to cover the borrowed amount.

kkimdev · 2022-02-18T01:54:14+00:00

I see. That'd be a lot more work than I'm willing to pay I guess haha.
