We actually have this. Obviously not this particular font. My family were all printers and I've sort of inherited a huge cabinet full of old school typefaces all carved out of some special kind of hard wood - pear wood - all over 100 years old. Absolutely 0 idea what we can do with it, but it's all hand made and very cool. Felt pertinet to share lol
Klim Type Foundry [1] may also be worth a contact — they’ve been inspired by woodcut type before (e.g. [2] [3]), so I wonder if they might be interested in knowing about this.
Interesting! While I'm no Kris Sowersby or Robert Green, I have a side-side project to carve my own wood type (I've got a stack of Beech rounds drying in the shed) when I finally get a chance. It'd be cool to see some photos of your collection. If you're in the States, places like Hamilton Type and Hatch Show Print have tonnes of old an quirky display faces that they still use regularly.
Lineage on a Xiaomi redmi 10 pro, everything working perfectly (also dual SIM and SD card + headphone jack) get about 2 days battery life. Though it's quite old now so I've no idea if it is as good as a OP5 or not lol
The way you have to hide from apps is a bit weird these days using magisk filters, but other than that the entire thing has been set and forget, and I've not had any issues
I simply don't trust publicly traded companies these days. I genuinely can't think of an example where a private company in the tech space has become better since going public. I don't like to MBA bash, but it large tech companies genuinely seem filled with people who don't even like tech (let alone love it) and are just happy to squeeze everything and everyone at any opportunity. I'm genuinely concerned and waiting for the enshittification of the next round of companies - people like cloudflare - then I guess I'll just give up on anything mainstream and remain an indy Dev doing indy things for fun
I got a new pair of lululemon pants this week and they're terrible quality compared to year's past. I remember their CEO saying they were trying to double their stock price this year. Know I know how.
I definitely agree with this sentiment. And it's not just publicly traded companies - I like the saying "private equity kills everything it touches" because whenever PE buys a a company I have never seen it turn to anything but a shit pile eventually.
At some point with all companies the finance people take over. But well-loved products and companies are never created by finance people - they're created by people with a passion for something.
You're not wrong...but it will get there and get better. I believe asahi will be a driving force behind it, and arm in general being more widely used for non mobile device stuff....however (despite using fedora on arm64 as a daily driver) I firmly believe we're going to be 6-12 months absolute minimum until arm docker is "alright" (I'm also broadly including fully user transparent x86 emulation into this sweeping statement with no basis lol)
massive YMMV moment for me. my particular usecase was "extract the following attributes from a load of unstructured text, format the results as JSON". ChatGPT was the best (but only on 4 and Davinci), Vicuna just didn't perform at all (nor other variants of llama 7/13/33). Bard smashed it, relatively speaking, in terms of speed. I gave up pretty quickly though because of no information on pricing and/or API. It's funny how all-or-nothing these things seem to be
On the smaller models you may want to split the task in smaller chunk either in parallel one value at a time or in sequence like extract the attributes, then take the output and ask to format it into a json
In relation to this, when using GPT4, I have added the addendum to my prompts: "This seems like a lot of work, please split the work into two chunks, and let's start on the first chunk now."
It will generally segment the problem in some logical way and work just fine, with vastly improved reasoning abilities due to not trying to do as much at once.
