On: Editing Files at 1000 tokens/s with llama-70B

[temp20240604]

what is the LLM doing to the files? Is it making edits based on a natural language command?

[amanrs → temp20240604]

It edits the file based on the "plan" laid out by a smarter language model

That is clever, great idea.

Just downloaded again :-)

On: Show HN: Shortbread App – AI-powered, romantic comics for women

[temp20240604]

Thats cool. Feels more like a storyboard for a show than a comic. It was a bit long winded and could probably be condensed to a 4 by 4 grid of panels (IMO).

I liked the bit about “my actual fiancé” … that was a good twist but the rest was fairly tropey.

[aezart → temp20240604]

A lot of comics have moved to a long single column of panels these days, I assume it's for easier mobile reading.

Why does Google need to be afraid? They index the entire web!

On: Why YC went to DC

[temp20240604]

Nope that doesn’t necessarily follow.

[bowsamic → temp20240604]

Yes it does, just purely logically

[temp20240604 → bowsamic]

I took the “them” to mean the 50000 in which case it doesn’t. If it is the 500 and the 50000 are not all “AI related” then that tells us something.

[bowsamic → temp20240604]

Yeah I took it to mean that the specific 500 they chose of the 50,000 are AI related and that the 50,000 may or may not be

To lobby for things good for YC :-) which happen to also be good things in general.

They don’t expire

On: Show HN: I made a tiny camera with super long battery life

[temp20240604]

I would market it as a security camera.

Just “camera” implies I might take this to the colosseum or to take family photos.

But without a view finder and with deleting old photos I don’t think that is the use case.

It is super niche though. Most security cam buyers would at least want cellular or wifi to capture the images “so far” before the thief steals the cam itself.

So this is for situations where small is the main thing, I suppose almost for spying.

[r0fl → temp20240604]

Brilliant suggestion

I have been in the market for something like this forever for security cameras near sheds I have on properties I check on once every couple of months

First time that I’ll be buying something of hacker news this quickly

[temp20240604]

In general, no.

However a security camera that works with all operating systems just needs to expose a drive via USB… as has been done for decades now.

[romwell → temp20240604]

Apparently, to take the processing off of the camera chip, the decision was to:

1. Not use a filesystem on the SD card;

2. Write RAW files only

This means software is needed to both transfer files, and to convert them into an image format.

Personally, I'd put that software on board, with extra dedicated hardware if necessary (it can be powered off of USB), and make the device appear as a massage storage device to a USB host.
