I'm working on something from a crappy laptop, those numbers from jev can totally be matched:

    Local Latency: 0.1813 seconds

I can also run a 0.6b model on my phone faster than openai can run astra, it doesn't mean my model is useful.

and frankly for many of the kind of thing people probably want to use this for... you would want to run locally anyways.

why even bother with a network hop? build a specialized engine which does the prefill->measure cycle on local GPU/TPU/NPU with a model fine tuned for your application (e.g. gaming NPCs, autonomous driving, agricultural intelligence, drone.. target... selection, whatever)

the nice thing is that if you're skipping decode you're not as memory bandwidth bound.


I was in awe when I discovered this, and decided to apply this simple rule to the help text of a small command line tool I was working on: https://git.bitmycode.com/sodimel/n#help


Even the favicon is great!


Thank you for this tool!

We've just used it to embed the entire django doc + our private knowledge base, allowing us to search in the 2 sources instantly!


super cool use case! Hopefully it can provide quality embeddings + retrieval. Would love to learn to results/issues or feedback. Please feel free to file for issues on github


My coding font is comic-shanns-mono, here's how it looks: https://github.com/jesusmgg/comic-shanns-mono?tab=readme-ov-...


Reminds me of the original Smalltalk font.


Cream is a very distinctive font. It’s perfect for Smalltalk. In the 1980s I remade it for the Apple II to be used in a game. Obviously very little text would fit on the screen it was used for.


I was intrigued by a font called Codemonkey. This site has lots of classic comic fonts, including WildWords which is used in pretty much every manga translation.

Unfortunately plus signs display as blank spaces in the test drive. Oh well.


Comic Code Ligatures for me :D


Yeah, a few years ago I tried the free ones, but eventually settled on Comic Code. I've been using it ever since - it's pleasant to code with. (If anyone is considering this - the "essentials" set with bold/italic is around $30. You don't need the full set.)


Same. It has a double-storey a, which I prefer a lot.


I initially used this one when I started playing around with Zed on a personal project, but I kept it and it has grown on me considerably.


similar situation here, but i used it because i thought it was funny... then kept it because it grew on me haha. had it for a few years, might give it a spin again


i like that way more than i would have thought simply based on the name.


(I may also add that I'm using synthwave 84' in vscode, which adds neon effects on my code using text-shadow)


It's fun when we use software (and prodigious amounts of computation) to emulate the things people complained the most about in old hardware.


I use comic mono myself


Thanks, I hate it.


diabolical


If I understood it right, the app allows you to group links by categories (shelves), and share those categories pages?

I haven't found any information about search, tagging, descriptions, saving content. Are those also available features?


Here's something I wrote in 2021:

> Today, there's ~30 times more js than html on homepages of websites (from a list of websites from 5 years ago).

It seems that this number only go up.


That's a nice project!

I searched a few comments I agreed using the "Ask HN: What are some iconic comments on HN?" thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40719253) and I'm pleased to see some green comments here and there :)

I also made 2 QoL [fire|grease]monkey extensions for hn:

- display favicons of sites next to links: https://gist.github.com/corentinbettiol/6d9dc3a032c17ebcd94d...

- display karma next to usernames: https://gist.github.com/corentinbettiol/289503b4033a788df91f...


Didn't knew that sudo had a website with a... somewhat interesting logo: https://www.sudo.ws/


Wow, is it related to the "make me a sandwich" XKCD?

https://xkcd.com/149/


You do realize the answer is right there: https://www.sudo.ws/about/logo/

(and the old logo) ;)


I missed that, thanks!


That's a nice project, I'm interested to take a look at the source code if you publish it!


Published a first version of my code, feel free to try out and contribute: https://github.com/philippdubach/rss-swipr
