mark336··on MobileLLM: Optimizing Sub-Billion Parameter Language Models for On-Device Use
Btw, for anyone interested I have AI news summaries and ideas for startups at my website here: https://asiaviewnews.com/gigabots/Threads?p=20007
mark336··on MobileLLM: Optimizing Sub-Billion Parameter Language Models for On-Device Use
How about instead of Gen AI on the desktop, just AI on the desktop. Could organize all my files, emails, and notes and let me search for information from my own data.

mark336··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announces new AI chips: ‘We need bigger GPUs’
I wouldn't be 100% against them, but it is disappointing that they don't have any better ideas.

mark336··on My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file (2022)
I use my own messageboard: https://willashani.com/gigabots/threads Feel free to post! And I use Apple Notes. I like the messageboard because you can see the relationships in a tree-based structure. I store techy things in the messageboard above. I store non-techy things in Notes or when I am in a hurry and its not high priority.
mark336··on Show HN: Linen.team – A lightweight, thread-first Slack alternative
Here is Mix0r, a thread-first "Messageboard for Anything" type site: https://www.willashani.com/gigabots/db. I built it because I wanted to use a site like Twitter but with messageboard-like threads. I also believe that every post belongs to a thread so it can be easily referred to. And I too, think think that a thread-based app can be used like a todo-list. I have some examples there.
mark336··on Anime is a $25B industry that pays its animators pennies
I agree with the guys that said they have to accept the industry to shrink, by paying animators what they deserve. I think that the government is failing here. They should be the ones that defend the worker even if the worker wants to get paid $5/hr. I don't agree that people who want to be animators can't because competition for the fairly paid jobs is high. There should be some kind of non-profit level business for people who want to intern and get paid a few bucks if they really are in love with the industry. But corporations should not be allowed to underpay their staff.

mark336··on As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena
The real question is how many of you want to hang out with these guys. They are probably a bunch of nerds. Secondly, once they start empregnating your hot brunnettes you'll be like, why didn't we listen to the fighter pilot.
mark336··on Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
I created a website that is works like user-forum like Reddit, but to be used to make conversations like Twitter. Part of why I made it was my frustration with Twitter. A side idea is it could be used to store data, in parent-child format. You can use it like Twitter to start conversations or to keep track of lists or personal or project data.

It isn't wholly functional, you can not reply to a post yet, but you can make a thread initial post. Don't have a login/registration yet, just post something. For some reason if i haven't used the site in awhile I get an error, but it works on reload. If you get that let me know. It doesn't have https yet, it is here: http://www.yuyaykuna6.com/gigabots/db

mark336··on The rush to mine lithium could dry up the high Andes
The governments of Chile and Bolivia afe now far-left. I wonder what their stance is on extractive industries?
mark336··on ‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon
As an Andean Native-American I think that there were some things that were science, like being able to tell time and the seasons by their star observatories. And then there was religion around a planet or the moon.
mark336··on ‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon
You got it right. But I want to add that civilizations began when man moved to farming and didn't have to hunt for food.

The fines should be paid the Twitter users
mark336··on Lidar reveals pre-Hispanic low-density urbanism in the Bolivian Amazon
I'm a Native-American from the Andean region. And I had some idea that there were settlements, from a few articles I read some time ago. For example, the Inca and other Pre-Hispanic cultures were known to have traded parrot feathers. There had to be networks in the jungle. This is by far a more comprehensive report.
mark336··on Mayor of Lima, Peru impeached for serving on the board of state-owned company
I am Peruvian and keep up to date with Peruvian politics. A lot of the political. moves right now center around Socialist (Maduro kind) and Conservative views but I can't figure out which party this scandal benefits. I do know that the JNE allowed a Socialist to win an election with fraud. Maybe the JNE is trying to clean up its image.
mark336··on Michelle Yeoh, martial arts and the multiverse: inside the year’s wildest movie
Chinese movies are like GEICO commercials too ever heard of Danny the Dog.

I love Chinese movies, but this sounds like a GEICO commercial
mark336··on A tsunami wiped out ancient communities in the Atacama Desert 3,800 years ago
Its not too unfathomable. Indigenous people are around today and they pass on lore to their youth the same way. Also looks like they use paint to make drawings. Probably recorded some of their history too.
mark336··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
My site is http://www.yuyaykuna6.com/. I am interested in the language Quecua, and programming. I am working on several projects. Theres two that I want to mention , one, is a message-board-like site Qhipu, like Reddit, but used the way Twitter is, for talking in threads, or as a database so you can store your data using the messageboard tree structure. The other one is an app, i call BuubleIM. Its an Instant Messenger written in ios Swift. It does basic 1-1 messaging right now, with ejabberd on the backend. If either of these 2 projects interests you hmu, i allow creative freedom.
mark336··on Ask HN: What Are You Up To? (April 2022)
I have been working on a Message Board Social Network. For now its called Qhipu http://yuyaykuna.com/gigabots/db It is like a User Forum, but you can use it to store data like todo lists or notes. Since Message Board formats are hierarchal and are tree-based they are inherently data storage devices. The trick is getting people to think tree-like. Not everyone thinks like a programmer. Right now its really basic, read-only. I had something more elaborate working with crud functions and a UI using JQuery tricks but I lost the code and had to start over. You can see it now it with sample data. I need to update it as I said so you can create a thread/reply.
mark336··on Neo-Andean Architecture in The Highest City in the World
I am a Peruvian Native. I think his designs are ok. They seem to be based on the Caporales dancer costumes and the typical Native garmets. If they have to be based on the traditional the buildings should be based on traditional architecture from Incan other Peruvian/Bolivian civilizations. And maybe, if possible, something that can be imagined by extrapolating what Incan/Other peruvian civs architecture would look like if the culture had been allowed to survive for another 500 years.
mark336··on Machu Picchu was built over major fault zones (2019)
Yeah there is no simple answer for some of the monoliths. I have often wondered if they had a technique perhaps using vibrational energy to cut the rocks. Maybe they managed to find a vibrational frequency maybe by rubbing the rock with their stone tools in a certain way, or with water in between that would cut the rocks with ease.

I also saw a show once that said that in one of the Mexican sites they found an underground canal and a pool with mercury. Don't know if they somehow used that to cut their rocis.

mark336··on Machu Picchu was built over major fault zones (2019)
I am Peruvian. I wonder if the Incas built there buildings with irregular rocks only to prevent resonance or because it was too difficult to carve rocks of the same size...
mark336··on Tesla opens a center on Native American land, selling cars straight to consumers
As a person who is Native from S. America and knows about Native-American issues: I second this, YES they benefit. Don't know many tribes that wouldn't accept such an offer.

Its cool meeting you btw
mark336··on Machu Picchu older than expected, study reveals
Hey photojosh. I don't see your email. I think email is only for admins, can put in the about though. :)
mark336··on Machu Picchu older than expected, study reveals
I am a Peruvian interested in Incan culture. I think its way interesting that they think that because Machu Picchu was built 20 years earlier, that Pachacuti, who is thought to have built Machu Picchu was conquering tribes much earlier. I believe it makes sense that Pachacuti built Machu Picchu, works by ancient rulers were often built by the rulers themselves when they were alive. I believe Pachacuti built Machu Picchu. Some people think its more ancient, but Incans like everybody else are normal people, they built this monument for prestige during the reign of the greatest Inca.
