This is wonderful and a much welcome addition for those of us who don't need to pixel peep but still want to assemble a web app quickly to test product market fit. I'll certainly try to get a feel for what you built and how it dif

Is it simulated to the level where you could give it some visual stimulus and observe the actions it is trying to take? Could it be wired to a remote robotic insect and control it in real time? I've no idea how detailed these simulatio

ChatGPT has 175B weights if I'm not mistaken. Llama 7B would not be in any way comparable.

I have a hard time imagining anything that comes even close to ChatGPT being able to run on consumer hardware in the next couple of years

Probably bubble or a similar platform. If nocode is out of the question then I don't know because it all looks like a convoluted mess to me. I'm actually going to watch this thread with interest to see what others suggest. I'

It probably can do that to some extent. I wonder what would happen if the GP just asked for that.

To me that's a definition of make work. A good development ecosystem should require no wizardry to make it perform well. And it adds absolutely zero value for the end user of your product. This is why myself and 99% of developers abhor

Same here. Younger developers often don't realize how unproductive they are with their JS based frameworks. The one thing that I found that makes knocking out a simple web app fast is Streamlit in the Python ecosystem. Setting up Pytho

How come you weren't able to just get it from DeepMind given that they are a subsidiary of Google? Is there a lot of red tape involved in exchanging IP like that?

As a long time Java professional who hasn't experienced .NET what would you say are the biggest advantage points of .NET vs a typical modern Java setup with say, IntelliJ, SpringBoot, maven/gradle etc?

It should be self evident to everyone that with all those "cloud" services you don't own shit. Even if you are more of a prosumer say, hosting your app in a cloud account or your digital assets there is always enough EULA wig

Let’s pause for a bit and dwell on the absurd amount of RAM it takes to run it even after this exercise. Anyone here remember when QNX shipped a demo in 2000 with a kernel, GUI, web browser and an email client on a single 3.5” floppy? The m

I doubt anyone who knows anything at all about Porsche has a favorable view of him. Most people simply don't know as the brand named after him isn't nearly as big as Ford.

Basically it is a purposeless algorithm that saps resources for useless computations, that is only interesting insofar as it can sometimes perform sophisticated optimizations albeit in pursuit of a trivially useless goal. Zoom out and think

The whole blockchain ecosystem is basically an instantiation of Bostrom's Paperclip Maximizer running on a hybrid human/machine topology.

Of course this will only work if your user's state can be captured within the 4096 tokens limit or whatever limit your llm imposes. More if you can accept forgetting least recent data. Might actually be OK for quite a few apps.

> The object isn't to make something (i.e. be productive). It is to be in that wonderful state in which making something is inevitable. Wow, that's so aptly put. I love seeing these pithy quotable lines on HN from time to time.

How are you running them so well? What do you use for your device since CUDA is obviously not supported and 'mps' is not very impressive, compared it to just about any NVidia GPU including the aging 1080ti[1] [1] https:/&#x2

Well, not for ML we don't. Python killed it all off. If you plan to work on core algorithms or finetuning existing models there is nowhere to run.

Well, no. The JS package ecosystem is a slightly lesser mess than the Python ecosystem but only slightly so. I think it's a bad example to base any redesign off of. At least the author brought up .NET which mostly has its shit together

There is a bit of irony in how many steps it took to render a few pixels on the screen. I was a teen in 1990 and remember this being one or two lines in Turbo Pascal for DOS.

I think it is scrambled nonsense but it's scrambled in a way that still makes it look like a plausible sample. I remember watching a video of Hinton saying that just using white noise or similarly randomized data does not work but I&#x
