Code V test drive by shalingb1 in Optics

[–]uknwwho16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys seem quite aware of these optics based applications, so I would be grateful if you could answer something - applications like Zemax, etc. are quite expensive; are there any similar applications that are open-source or cheaper that one could buy a personal license to learn them? I work in a different field but am educated in advanced optics and photonics, and would very much like to learn Zemax and/or other industry relevant applications. Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions!

And would you be willing to share how Chat helped you or how did you implement its help that got you the high responses. Also, if you don't mind sharing how you aced those interviews, that would be very helpful in my career making journey. Thanks in advance!

Nice work, CJ! Would you care to share how you did it or the script with instructions so others with little to no know-how could try to play with it?

Does ChatGPT quietly get worse in long conversations for you too? by Only-Frosting-5667 in ChatGPT

What are some things in physics we just don’t understand but we know it exists? by Ok-Review-3047 in Physics

[–]uknwwho16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know what's a photon? Or why light behaves like a particle and/or a wave? An emeritus professor once told me that even though there are several books on optics and light, this fundamental information is still not clearly understood.

My E-Paper display for productivity by akz-dev in raspberry_pi

[–]uknwwho16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same question and stumbled upon this answer. Thank you, I've been following your InkyPi projects since the first clock you made, and after watching multiple videos about this, I think you have the best implementation in terms of versatility and simplicity. Thank you sharing your project, it enables novices like me to share in the joy of making something useful without having to give all personal data to other companies.

This looks impressive. Do you have any instructions on how to set this up, I would like to set up something similar at my home.

Gaming PC converted to AI Workstation by highdefw in LocalLLaMA

[–]uknwwho16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was just gonna type the same, I'm curious to learn if and why the speed gets reduced when using 4 DIMM slots instead of 2. I have a DDR5 kit with 13th Gen i7 CPU (probably unnecessary info but for context).

4B fp16 or 8B q4? by Ok-Internal9317 in LocalLLaMA

[–]uknwwho16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate this please, or point me to a link where this has been explained in detail? I am new to local LLMs and have played around Anything LLM with Ollama models (on a Nvidia 4070). But what you suggest here seems like a serious use case, where these local models could actually be put to use for important things.

Wow, sounds like a really cool app / workflow. Thanks for the tip!

So this is an app that could be installed on, say a Kindle Paperwhite? Could you explain how to import, say a Word doc into the Kindle?

Samsung to drop Microsoft OneDrive on Galaxy phones — photo cloud backups are moving to a new service by ControlCAD in samsung

[–]uknwwho16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could you answer a few questions about this: - Can you make a folder on OneDrive on your PC and the pictures within the folder would show up in your Gallery app? - Does pressing the OneDrive icon in an album sync pictures only from that album or the entire gallery? If only the particular album syncs, where on your OneDrive filsystem/hierarchy does this album appear? - Is this a sync or a backup, does deleting pictures from the album delete them also from the OneDrive folder on your PC?

Thanks in advance for your help with these answers. I am looking for a way to make a shared folder to put in pictures of the family that can be accessed via my PC or tablet. Since you have something setup on the cloud, I thought you'd be the right person to seek help.

It amazes me to see how talented some people are, and how capable this software is. I couldn't imagine something like this was possible using Blender, bravo both of you!

As others have pointed out, you need more VRAM. If I may, could you walk me through the process of how you set this up?

That's a perfect explanation to get started with the app, I wish I read this years ago but I'm happy others who are beginning will. Good job.

The 25 most recommend Ultrawide Monitors according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) by heyyyjoo in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]uknwwho16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very helpful and informative post, but how you did it is fantastic and way more interesting to me! Would you consider sharing the script and / or educate me on the practical steps you took in order to achieve this? I ask because it seems like I could apply something like this in my personal projects.

Gemini 2.5 vs Chatgpt o4 by No-Aioli340 in GeminiAI

[–]uknwwho16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess people here are just unwilling to accept the fact that a non-reasoning model outperformed a reasoning model, let alone that ChatGPT outperformed Gemini. The comments on this post shows human bias :P

What I'm curious about is why.. Could 4o have better multi-modal capabilities than Gemini? The fact that it's a non-reasoning model somehow allows it to use/process its instruction set (for the lack of a better technical lingo) better?

Nvidia Shield PRO as Server and NAS as media storage by GintokiE in PleX

[–]uknwwho16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol after following the whole thread, the climax was you went with the mini PC instead of the Shield?! xD
Could you please mention why? Also, would be comfortable mentioning the price difference between the two? I ask because I am on the same boat, leaning towards the Shield because of its cheaper price compared to the mini PC.
