I switched to a decision model for my local "AI" voice control thingy. faster-whisper produces the text then onnx scores all my HA entities to determine which one I'm talking about .. then it lists all its actions and a second scoring round to determine what action I want. some regex to extract numbers if I'm saying things like "water the lawn for 10 minutes". It's pretty dumb when compared to what an LLM can do but considering you now have semantic scoring "at your finger tips" without resorting to levenshteins or other crude algorithms like that it's insane how smart it can look.

And to answer the obvious question: because latency. This thing turns on the light or water valve in under 100ms on a laptop from 2001 with 8gb ram .. all running locally on the laptop.

I have to say, after the recent Performative UI post here on HN, I was not expecting an apache foundation project to have gradient words on the landing page.

if, like me, you're a non-native english and speaker don't immediately understand what this is about: the page shows for each `n` what's the minimum `s` such that `n` squares with side of length 1 fit in a square with side of length `s`.

what I'm curious about though is what a proof for something like this looks like. and why does it need a proof? not to mention the randomness of some of the `n`s. Math is most of the time beatiful and whenever I see something like `n=11` I think "it looks wrong so it must be wrong" yet it has a proof.

how can you claim in the readme "no per-language vendor SDK" and then link to a list of per-language client SDKs?

that's actually one thing I don't like but they're essentially forcing you to go 4k for the 10khz pwm.

otherwise, why would you want a resolution you're going to scale to 150% or even 200% anyway just to be able to read it anywhere outside?

... and eating into your battery

there is great hardware other than what Apple produces. It's actually the OS the reason people are buying their hardware for.

I see nothing stopping you from buying a 16" Razer Blade and putting whatever non-Orwellian OS you want on it

At this point it must be intentional that there's always something uncanny about these fake pages. That google logo is so old that if I see it I immediately know to get out of there.

So I find it fascinating how there's always the odd typo, the old logo, the impossible combination of iPhone needing an antivirus, etc and I refuse to believe is incompetence.

I used to run a cs1.6 server on an amd 800mhz with 256mb of ram in the 2000s. I'm looking these days to get a mac mini and while thinking that 16gb will not be enough I remembered about that server. It was a NAT gateway too, had a webserver also with hitstats for the cs server. And it was a popular 16v16 type of server too. What happened? How did we get to 16gb minimum and 32gb will make you not sad.

that same moment I switched to Niagara launcher. After 10 minutes of using it bought the Pro level and that was it. I kept around 5 apps in main screen, YT music widget automatically pops up on top when I connect headphones. The side scroll is very well thought out. For each letter the most used apps are on top. This one clicked with me.

I think it's just someone learning something new most of the time.

I have home made url shorteners in go, rust, java, python, php, elixir, typescript, etc. why? because I'm trying the language and this kind of project touches on many things: web, databases, custom logic, how and what design patterns can I apply using as much of the language as I can to build the thing.

why are you so deliberately not getting the point?

if I ask you to choose between xbox 360, xbox one and xbox series s which one is the latest?

and then if I ask you to choose between ps2, 3, 4 and 5 which one is the latest?

what do you think are your chances to get it right for xbox?
