I'm just sitting back for a few weeks / a couple months to let it shake out, let others put in all the work, and then see if people are still interested and finding use cases that this access model fits better than the usual chat

It won't be long until people produce a decent training data set generation pipeline. The number of people working on this is crazy. Something will coalesce.

Because you want to mock the tools you are going to use in production locally or in CI. Really good reasons to not totally change what you are doing in your app between environments.

Oh I absolutely see the issue. These people are honestly beneath contempt after talking to them and seeing their responses. Regardless, I'd rather tailor my message to people who I fundamentally disagree with, and make a little bit of

I've gotta mention it because everyone seems to have a learned helplessness with this type of thing. I went and spoke at my county commissioners meeting a couple times after the initial flock roll out (voted on with no discussion a cou

I did all of my development for a couple years on my first startup in a VM on my proxmox server, connected through spice. Was extremely nice being able to just go from desktop to laptop to any other machine that I had available and have the

And I'd agree if that's what GP said.

Yeah...what the hell even is that "I like that name, mine now" for something that has been around almost as long as I have.

Explain to me why that matters at all in an ethical sense. Especially given the scraping / pirating that's gone on by all of these companies in the last number of years.

"does that token in that spot increase or decrease the likelihood of solving this long range programming task?" It's not correct or not, it's a gradient based on the reward signal.

Yes, and when you have guys at a FOB that hasn't had a resupply for a while, I'm sure their trt supply will be great. No withdrawal problems at all.

I learned coding on private MMO emulators (lineage 2 primarily). I had my own private server I was building in my spare time, implementing all the needed server features for the client one by one. Packet sniffing to know what any of the mes

And then in 2024, somehow not an issue again. Crazy how that happens.

I'm not saying downvoted, i'm saying flagged. Like almost anything posted related to this surveillance state YC is invested in building.

Yeah, that would have been a smarter way to get my point across.

You need a GPU for the ASR and diarization. I have an unraid box with an old GPU that I threw it on. So it's sitting in my closet and the ongoing cost is practically nil. There was a few dollars in LLM calls on initial ingestion using

I posted this in another thread, and had my comment instantly flagged. Love this site. Worth looking at how these cameras got approved in the first place. My county's ALPR interlocal passed on the consent agenda in December 2024, one b

I watched a few of their talks, and while I'm somewhat impressed by the results, it's not exactly surprising to me that you can get those numbers when you make the trade-offs they're making. Most applications cannot make thos

You know what, I agree...original advice stands. I should have known that the data I was storing would eventually grow larger than reasonable, so in this case it would have been smarter to design it properly from the start. Hindsight. But t
