In my experience, I always get much better Searx results by changing the language to the relevant one (and disable SafeSearch). However, between instances, it varies which search sources they include (Google, Bing, DDG etc.). After trying multiple, I've found a few instances that generally get me the results I'm looking for.
E.g. if searching for, let's say, something German, my URL would contain this:
Interestingly, that makes me feel a bit inclined to argue with you about this.
To me, it just feels like...
"No, you can't upgrade your old car speakers, because the custom ones would be too loud."
"No, you can't upgrade the seats, because the 3rd party ones are way too comfortable."
"No, you can't keep that Wunderbaum dangling under the mirror, it modifies the smell and it's too damn fresh for you!"
Well, actually, it's more like...
"No, silly, you simply can't use those carefully crafted custom-made playing pieces, cards or high-DPI printed board to extend/change this board game to your liking, since we didn't sell you any of that..."
As you see it, what's the difference? Or would you in fact just happily accept those scenarios too?
Because it has fewer parameters and (in some cases) it's quantized. The hardware needed to run local inference on the full model is not really feasible to most people. Though, the release of it will probably still make a wide impact on the quality of other upcoming smaller models being distilled from it, or trained on synthetic data from it, or merged with it, etc.
Oh, which one are you referring to here – of all those different 750 g supposedly exotic fruitberry-flavoured water beverages, all with 0 kcal? One of those with a dose of factory-added vitamins, or just the funkiest sun-kissed fruit imitation available?
I assume the taste will probably just become increasingly more rancid long before pure (and bacterially uncontaminated) 100% PB goes dangerously bad, if ever.
Thanks for sharing. It seems like there's a lot of supported options. Many of them, I have no idea what are, but cars and doorbells are easy enough to understand, at least. Do you have any examples of interesting, less obvious use cases of your own, or of others'?
Thinking a bit outside the box, if your phone is capable of it, you could find a way to run a small local LLM on it. Maybe it can even be done in Termux?
If that's not an option and/or you need a bigger, more capable model, you could host a local Ollama instance, and connect to it from the Ollama (IzzyOnDroid) or GPTMobile (F-Droid). This way you will only connect to yourself instead of some 3rd party translation or LLM provider.
I think that, with a well-written system prompt, you could make it more efficient by concisely instructing it to expect your text input and a language (or include permanent language instructions in system prompt), to then only output the translated version of your input in that language. This will keep the number of input+output tokens low, thereby saving some inference. You can also get creative and instruct it to output multiple variations, change the style/tone/formatting, provide an example sentence containing a single translated word, etc...
For local reception, receivers with RTL2832U chips are a cheap option. They are also called RTL-SDR. I have simply been using a long wire as a "random wire antenna". Some of the older dongles also need an upconverter to be able to tune into low HF frequencies:
An upconverter for the RTL-SDR translates low HF frequencies ‘up’ into ones that are receivable by the RTL-SDR. This is a different method to the direct sampling mode used in the V3 dongles to achieve HF reception.
There's probably a Plex add-on for Kodi. At least, there is for Jellyfin and Emby. If you don't like the UI, try changing it. I prefer the one called "Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded". You'll need to customize the homescreen a bit to get the most out of it. That way you can make it show widgets of your content, e.g. the latest content added, continue watching, specific libraries, etc. That, at least, works very well with Jellyfin through the Jellycon add-on.
Why not paperless? I've thought of trying out paperless-ngx but would like to hear about your experiences with it or other thoughts about it.
