Interesting idea...but could a crawler not just incorporate some AI like LLava2 or convert the SVG to a JPG and use OCR to get the email addresses out?

It just seems like this adds a couple of steps to existing crawler scripts.

Isn't this what resizeable BAR and direct storage are for?

Eh? I've never had a problem moving data out of AWS.

Have people lost the ability to write export and backup scripts?

There are two possible scenarios here. Firstly, they can't find the talent to support what you implemented...or more likely, your docs suck!

I've made a career out of inheriting other peoples whacky setups and supporting them (as well as fixing them) and almost always its documentation that has prevented the client getting anywhere.

I personally dont care if the docs are crap because usually the first thing I do is update / actually write the docs to make them usable.

For a lot of techs though crap documentation is a deal breaker.

Crap docs aren't always the fault of the guys implementing though, sometimes there are time constraints that prevent proper docs being written. Quite frequently though its outsourced development agencies that refuse to write it because its "out of scope" and a "billable extra". Which I think is an egregious stance...doxs Should be part and parcel of the project. Mandatory.

Man, I started building sites in the mid to late 90s as a kid, for shits and giggles, then it became trendy to hire a "whizz kid" and people paid me to build garbage...web design business was so easy back then..."Your Dad says you know how to build websites? If I give you £500 will you build me one?"...hell yeah I will, we can have a big fucking banner, some scrolling marquees..."sure kid, whatever just make it look good"...no meetings, no wireframes, no bug trackers just here is £500 build me a site kid...by the way I'm a plumber. Here is my brochure...make it look like that.

Then your work began. First stop, looking for gifs of spinning spanners, cartoon dudes with hard hats on. Then you'd get the domain and hosting, put an "under construction" page up...man good times. I wish I could just "build a website" today...but you can't...you have to have 10 people involved bike shedding the fuck out of the fonts instead of having fun...and fucking soul destroying WordPress.

All of this is nostalgic.

There is. Dropping your phone follows a curve, it falling from 16,000ft it does not. There are more forces at play when you fumble your phone. They aren't necessarily stronger forces though...just more of them. Trajectory and spinning add different forces on top of gravity. There is also the catch attempt that invariably forces the phone down harder and changes the trajectory.

The terminal velocity of an iPhone is around 25-30mph. Past a certain height, it doesn't matter how high up the device is.

Dropping an iPhone out at 16,000ft is probably the same as throwing it off a tall building. I'd imagine a 3 or 4 storey building would be enough to reach terminal velocity.

I've used Firefox forever. I've tried for many years to convert people to it...but they can't live without "muh chrome".

I'm not for or against anything at this point until someone gets their balls out and clearly defines what copyright infringement means in this context.

If you give a bunch of books to a kid all by the same author and then pay that kid to write a book in a similar style and then I go on to sell that book...have I somehow infringed copyright?

The kids book at best is likely to be a very convincing facsimile of the original authors work...but not the authors work.

It seems to me that the only solution for artists is to charge for access to their work in a secure environment then lobotomise people on the way out.

The endgame seems to be "you can view and enjoy our work, but if you want to learn or be inspired by it, thats not on"

Depends on the model you use. The tiny quantized 7B models, yeah its like having a high functioning teenage intern...but there are bigger more sophisticated models...like Falcon 180B...you need hella RAM to run that bad boy though.

People are always asking me how I follow trading charts, so to save me having to explain basic indicators over and over again, I made a simple trading dashboard to help people understand basic trading indicators for Bitcoin!

A really cheap and efficient way to get around and multiply.

We are cheap, disposable tools for machines.

If machines figure out how to farm humans, they're set...it's way more practical than mining resources, refining them, producing materials and using the materials to build a mechanism to travel around in.

NVIDIA is the leader because most academic AI setups are NVIDIA based.

When AI moves further away from academia NVIDIA will have less of a grip.

Proprietary, hardware specific APIs never stand the test of time. Ask 3Dfx.

Either CUDA will open up, if it is to survive or open API use will spread.

Weirdly, NVIDIA hardware only outperforms competitors on its own API. When you compare NVIDIA on a level playing field, they aren't the clear winners. Nobody is right now.

I suspect the battle ground for AI will be accuracy rather than speed in the medium term and on paper AMD could win there...purely because they aren't shy about over speccing the RAM in their kit and certain price points.

For me, I want to run the largest models I can with the least amount of quantization for the best bang for the buck...and AMD is right there as soon as people start picking up APIs outside of CUDA.

Can't be much harder than Calor gas cylinders.

The whole battery replacement situation is why EVs depreciate so much.

If swapping batteries in a modular system became a thing, the depreciation problem might shrink...it would also make EVs a lot more appealing to a significant number of people.

Hate to be that pragmatic engineer...but wouldn't a decent balance between range and fast charging be nicer? I'd like to see the graph for capacity vs charging time for these cells.

I'm sure like any battery the charging gets slower over time as the battery warms up, so finding the sweet spot would be nice.

I'd quite like to buy an electric car and select an appropriate power bank based on this.

Also, why do the packs have to be permanent? Why not have the ability to add or remove modular cells as and when needed? Just add the capacity when you need it. Plug the unused cells into your solar array when you aren't using them.

That opens up a few options. Firstly, you can choose to power your house or your car, or of you need to get to work and you forgot to charge, you take the dead cells out and swap a fully charged set in. Leave the dead ones charging at home.

Have a modular system where battery swapping is possible doesnt seem to be a system that EV manufacturers have considered for some reason.
