marci··on Show HN: Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED
Nobody choses erlang for heavy computational loads, but for ease of use and a simple mental model. You do heavy compute on it mostly if you don't want to be bothered. Erlang's multi-process thing, it's not to be efficient at compute, it's to be efficient at crash recovery and distributed compute. It was there before multi-core multithread were a thing.
marci··on Show HN: Min.js style compression of tech docs for LLM context
Damn... I saw your sentence starting with "Wait', and immediately thought "reasonning llm?"
marci··on Suno v4.5
The 26 characters with a thousand @font-faces.
marci··on Tiny-LLM – a course of serving LLM on Apple Silicon for systems engineers
For those who never heard of those:

mlx is similar to numpy/pytorch, but only for Apple Silicon.

mlx-lm is a llama.cpp equivalent, but built on top of mlx.

marci··on A unique sound alleviates motion sickness
and to test it here (it might be very loud!):

CTRL+SHIFT+I and in the console

    let o, a=new AudioContext();
    document.addEventListener("mousedown",function(){
      if (o) {o.stop(); o = undefined}
      else{ o=a.createOscillator(); o.type="sine"; o.frequency.value=100;
    o.connect(a.destination);o.start()}
    }) 

If you click anywhere it will start/stop.

There are camera doorbells with PoE.

They even started to make some meme cowrie shells in China.
marci··on Digital cuneiforms: Updated tool expands access to ancient Hittite texts
They may be talking of this new, decentralized, open-sea, counterfeit-proof currency I've heard fishermen raving about. It's called cowrie. But some friends working in the mines think it's a joke and it will soon crash.
marci··on Pocket Keyboard Design Contest
With no display, you could alternatively use some kind of TTS (letter by letter, word by word?) with earphones.
marci··on Apple unveils new Mac Studio
If you have a laptop, do you turn it off or just close the lid?

The mini is probably less power hungry than the macbooks (less components). I have some wifi 5/ac routers that consume more power at idle (nothing connected to them) than apple laptops.

It was the fastest way to find Sarah Connors

Where? I thought it was just the wikipedia of tv tropes.

According to the tweet, not the full context yet.

You might want to try caching to a file with mlx.

edit: here's a quick example for qwen2.5-1M from a mlx dev

marci··on Steam Brick: No screen, no controller, just a power button and a USB port
If your head is on the smaller to medium size. And avoid v1 of xreal, even if you find a good deal. Their hinges are super weak. They said they fixed it in subsequent models.
marci··on DeepSeek-R1
Would that be funny? Failing a job interview because, when ask to make a joke about a pelican and a walrus who run a tea room together, you couldn't come up with a quip, therefore showing your inability to reason.

Let's not even talk about the "r" you forgot when asked to write "cranberry"...

marci··on Track your devices via Apple FindMy network in Go/TinyGo
How do you know it was the driver and not someone they picked up after you?
marci··on Duolicious – Open-source dating app
> If people were able to connect and move on quickly, there would be little reason for the app-creators to continue developing.

If an open-source piece of tech is working as advertised, why would its devs continue working on a finished product?

Weirder things have been created. I could definitely see one being made for a movie.
marci··on GNU Artanis 1.0.0 Released
Strangely true.
marci··on The cochlear implant question
They probably meant "the human world", cities, etc. For example in the subway, the warning for the closing of doors used to be only audio, now you can see more modern ones that have both audio and visual cues that doors are about to close. In the same way, when crossing at a traffic light, there used to be only visual cues. In some cities now you have places that also have audio cues for people that need it.

Gptel leverages Magit's interface.
marci··on gptel: a simple LLM client for Emacs
I suppose the simplest would be to have to split to two windows with the same buffer with "Ctrl x 3", and press "Shift+Tab" to only have the headline. That is if all the conversation are on the same file.

If they are not on the same file, maybe something simple like deft (https://github.com/jrblevin/deft) or more complex like org-roam (https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam)

marci··on New Mac Mini with M4
You really start taking into account bandwidth when you need 64GB or more (which is rarelly).

If it's audio/video, spawning VMs, it doesn't matter much. If it's for generative software, it might become an issue.
