Hi there, I’m just your average HN user from Patras, Greece.

Interested in computers, technology, science and similar topics. Curious about astronomy, maths, geography, philosophy, religion, photography, science fiction and many many more.

You can find me usually on Twitter (yes, I know it’s called X nowadays) or have a look at my own webpage and Linkedin for contact details.

I’m a software/telecoms engineer, currently employed but always open for any interesting proposals for remote only positions ;-)

Any post that is about StarCraft is going to get my upvote, especially if AI is involved.

Thanks for posting this, I remember seeing this some time ago but I had lost the link.

Nice one mate! You’ve included many things and perhaps you should consider making it a full desktop app (or even better web app). Thanks for sharing and extra like for being a DWARFLAB owner :-)

Nice one! Tried it and unfortunatelly there are no small models that can fit my 16GB RAM or GTX1650 4GB GPU. Yeah, I know that this configuration is not meant to be used for AI/LLM work, but it would be good to provide support for some smaller models so that us plebeians can also play a bit with what you techbros are used to ;-) There are many small/very small models out there and I'm sure you could add a couple just for playing around and experimenting.

Excellent read and very explanatory… on a funny side, too bad we didn’t see anything about alien technology (joking) ;-)

Just FYI, not all Greeks support Isreal ;-)

True. Certain things changed and improved but many remained the same. Having corrupt politicians doesn't help at all. We're caught in-between bigger players and we're just following along. As the OP stated, many countries are suffering from consequences of the actions by some "great powers".

SR-71 stories will always get my upvote! I don't care if my comment gets downvoted but this is my favourite plane and especially the stories that go with it.

I feel you... the situation is more or less the same for Greece (and many other countries). Things are not looking very good and I don't know how all this situation is going to stabilize or even better come back to normal.

That's the problem with all big billion dollar companies, they don't have enough people for support! You can't talk to a real human to explain your problem anymore :-( The only thing these CEOs, managers and noards care about are profits, they don't care about their users.

It could have been a story or something that I read in an article, but the point remains. We shouldn't blindly trust results/calculations if we don't have a feeling of the correctness or how the result is derived. I understand that this isn't valid for many cases where difficult and complex computations are performed, but for many real life scenarios and situations it's valid. As stated in the original article, the people holding the AI strings are somewhat disconnected from us real people and they lack this human and real life touch. I hope I've explained it correctly :-)
