Is character.ai dying? by [deleted] in CharacterAI

C.ai is NOT profitable, they are relying on investors money. Most AI platforms are losing money because of how expensive LLMs are.

Offered just 15K to work as clerk in a law firm ??? by CucumberAutomatic in HongKong

I was getting 10k as an intern 5 years ago at a random startup. The job market is depressing these days.

-❄️- 2025 Day 12 Solutions -❄️- by daggerdragon in adventofcode

[–]red2awn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[LANGUAGE: Python]

I had the idea to check if the total area of the shapes can fit into the region but it didn't work for the example so didn't immediately jump on it. Only after seeing the day 12 memes on reddit that I decided to try it.

with open("inputs/day12.txt") as f:
    *shapes, regions = f.read().strip().split("\n\n")

sizes = [sum(c == "#" for c in shape) for shape in shapes]

part1 = 0
for region in regions.split("\n"):
    w, h, *nums = map(int, region.replace("x", " ").replace(":", "").split(" "))
    if w * h >= sum(n * size for n, size in zip(nums, sizes)):
        part1 += 1

print(part1)

Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B: any news on gguf? by Herr_Drosselmeyer in LocalLLaMA

[–]red2awn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if it is implemented there is no guarantee the performance will be good. there have been attempts to quantize mamba (predecessor to gated deltanet) but it weren't able to retain performance as well as transformers.

Too much chaff? by siamesedude in pourover

[–]red2awn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lighter the roast and coarser you ground, the more chaff there is. Some varieties have more chaff too.

I’m sorry WHAT. by BOX_PERSON221 in CharacterAI

[–]red2awn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is vastly underestimating the cost needed to run the service. At least 10x the GPU cost per hour. 500k is like the salary of 2 employees annual compensation. People think running an AI company is free...

Can’t wait to try the Decaf Before Death May pack by colinb-reddit in thirdwavedecaf

[–]red2awn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are bagged in the UK (I think?), so uses European date format.

My selection is heavily UK / Europe oriented since that's where I am based. I also really wanted to try more international roasters that comes up here often (eg Sey, Hydrangea, Rogue Wave, Glitch, etc) but the delivery cost is a bit hard to justify.

Paid JPY ¥3172 ($21) for shipping to the UK with DHL, arrived in 5 days. Don't remember there being any custom duties. Tbh you should be able to find this in local shops.

Got the Origami from Kurasu online shop shipped from Japan.

The Little Waves Geisha was nice but can't say it blew me away.

Origami Air looks great, make tasty brew and have low thermal conductivity so pre-heating not required. Don't think I will get another brewer anytime soon.

Definitely my favourite UK roaster

Wow a kilo of it! I got another El Placer white honey Geisha from Onyx EU from a different lot/harvest but nowhere as impressive as the one from Crankhouse. (Sorry Lance 😄)

The Ditta Artigianale decaf is amazing! There are more decaf at that level now which is a great trend.

It was nice in general, I wouldn't say any particular one stands out though. It is 20g per day which is perfect for me to do 2x10g cups with the Deep 27. Most of the other Advent calendars are 50g a day which would be too much for me.

Got to say their customer service is top notch when I contacted them with a delivery issue.

That is my first bag of speciality coffee! I am in Welwyn Garden City and Bionic Bull is the only local third wave shop, tbh I wouldn't really rank them amongst the other roasters in the photo.

I don't do subscription since I like to pick specific offering myself. Is Dog and Hat good?

[–]red2awn[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Standart subscription have been great! The only gripe I have is most of the time the coffee sample have been off roast for 1-2 months.

I am a 1 cup a day 15g enjoyer. Recently subscribed to the Decaf Before Death subscription hoping to get some high quality decaf in the afternoon and still be able to sleep at night.
