I had to look up embeddings: so this is comparing the encoding of movies as a similarity test?

Which can work because the encoding methods can indicate closeness of meaning.

And that’s why this isn’t running an llm in any way.

With 5¼" disks, it was more convenient to keep them in a ring binder by punching holes in them.

The other similar story I’ve heard is someone asking for the backup copy of a disk and being handed a photocopy.

Some laptops use magnets to help the lid snap closed. I took the back off an old Lenovo and could see the magnets clipped inside.

I’m not typing all that in. No wonder emacs users are angry all the time.

I pressed 6 while holding shift, then x. But it just typed ^x in my file.

Maybe I need to swap black and white as I type them, but I don’t know how to do that.

Okay then, how about doors? https://lizengland.com/blog/the-door-problem/

It has a GPU, but it’s helpful to know that I can look out for adaptors, thanks.

I like to be able to have a charger set up in more than one room than can be shared instead of moving chargers around all the time.

Yes, Lenovo!

I just bought a more beefy laptop and it has a special charger cable because it’s 170W :(

Apparently it has a Google AI watermark

I’ve run koboldcpp on a steam deck. You have to stick to small model files, of course, like maybe 4Gb, but you can get decent speed if you do.

And Edge Gallery on Android can run models locally on a phone.

I use Obsidian as a OneNote replacement because it’s built around markdown, which is just a a text file that includes structure and formatting.

I don’t use their subscription syncing service, just sync files to my own phone and server. Obsidian is great for organizing, but I can still read all the files as text.

I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).

Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.

While we’re at it, is a compass needle’s North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth’s North pole actually South so that the needle’s North pole points to it?

(I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)

I used those to call back to the UK when I moved to the US, back around 2005.

When you entered the number you wanted to call, it would do a VOIP connection from the line you were on to that company to a line in the destination county. So it was an Internet call for the international part (which is how they did it cheaply).

I realized that because the cards I bought were from a company with “VOIP” in the name!

I had one of those Radio Shack tone dialler boxes so that I could pre-program the free US number and the card id number.

The last episode ended with them all putting on red jackets, so I don’t think there’s going to be more than episode after that.

I should add that I do use it for backups, it’s a great program, but I’ve only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.

I’ve sometimes found that it just stops syncing on one phone. And I did turn off battery management.

I need something that’s reliable.

I use resilio, but recently it used 20% battery in 6 hours overnight, when nothing needed syncing.

Is there any way for it to sync from desktop to Android immediately when a file changes on the PC?

Last year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.

It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden “legacy” subscription.

So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.
