I've been working on archiving the historical awards given out by the Michelin Guide this year. The entire project is built to be easily maintainable for years to come and I plan to keep this running for as long as the cost make sense.

I'm trying to systematically track & collect historical MICHELIN awards for restaurants globally. It's been fun to look at the results!

New comment by ngshiheng in "Ask HN: How do you find new games to play?"

ngshiheng — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 13:43:55 +0000

i bought a Steam Deck last year and r/SteamDeck has been incredibly resourceful when it comes to game recommendations! some of the games are playable in both PC/Deck

i used to enjoy playing games to catch up with friends, but now that i'm getting older, i find that playing indie games solo is really refreshing. i love the freedom to pause whenever i need to and not feel obligated to keep playing if i'm not feeling it. there's zero guilt for not showing up.

2 games that i highly recommend: Slay the Spire and Faster Than Light. they're both turn-based games that are perfect for unwinding. nothing beats a pint of beer and Slay the Spire on a Friday night :)

interesting! perhaps cleaning up the older data might help abit here

> since ultimately you’re duplicating a bunch of data and will eventually catch the eye of some GitHub compliance script

I suppose this could also be a concern with git scraping as we are bascially duplicating data through git commits (not trying to imply that one is better or worse). Having that said, I'm not sure if GitHub would be fine with any of these if more people were to do the same at a larger scale

one of my all-time favorites was "We are so conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unawares" – from the blog post titled 'The Cab Ride I'll Never Forget'

New comment by ngshiheng in "Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU"

ngshiheng — Sat, 04 May 2024 00:19:47 +0000

Nice demo! I briefly tried it out and the demo felt much better than the original WebLLM one!

On a side note, i've been trying to do something similar too for similar reasons (privacy).

Based on my recent experience, i find that running LLM directly in the browser with decent UX (e.g. sub 1-2 second response time, no lag, no crashes) is still somewhat impossible given the current state of things. Plus, i think that relying on users' own GPU hardware for UX improvement via WebGPU is not exactly very practical on a large scale (but it is still something!) since not everyone may have access to GPU hardware

But yeah, if there's anything to look forward to in this space, i personally hope to see improved feasibility of running LLMs in browsers
