Amazing how many people who are smart enough to engineer software fail to comprehend that these things are necessary for success. If you are starting a company or currently running a company, the adage of "if they build it they will co

I have a vultr account I just logged into and checked, I could rent enough GPU memory to run llama 2 for ~180$ a month from my very quick look - so if I make more than 27000 requests with a 4k token payload I will break even - otherwise I c

OpenAI costs money and llama 2 i'm able to run on my GPU so at least for development purposes at the moment it's ""free"" for me to experiment with - mind you this is a side project with zero funding outside of

I'm integrating llama 2 7b with an application I'm building out currently and one of the biggest reasons was privacy, followed closely by price and lastly by getting it to work locally in a few minutes. I built a now abandoned pro

I'm not javascript free, but i've been actively pursueing building useful things with as little if any javascript and have been impressed with what I can get done with forms and html templating. A few years ago moving to a new are

Using your favorite language, a simple http listerner+routing and what ever HTML templating engines are supported, MPAs are simple and enjoyable to build. I think product people enjoyed pretending they were facebook for a while and decided

I don't think people realize how CSS3 and HTML5 will do everything they need. And also that no one actually enjoys using a SPA.

use k clustering for anomaly detection and not blow your budget on a bunch A100s or API access?

This is absolutely correct. As soon as I was able to get access I built my own... GPT proxy to generate marketing copy and all that for people and while it was neat it comes down to a regular crud application that has a wrapper around an Op

Jamstack is "Modern Web Development"? Are we back to that point in the webdev rollercoaster where everyone pretends like embedding business logic in a client using javascript is a good idea?

A big take away for anyone reading this, if you have a massive digital asset that relies on google you should probably be planning and leveraging yourself for a 50% drop in traffic and revenue over the weekend at random.

Meh. You can get a good developer for 50-150k without lobster. You can't force them to all live in san francisco but I could hire two devs and have some marketing money left over with 235k with a year and a half ramp.

In a rosy red version of stack overflow yes, in reality it is a place for javascript developers to copy paste answers from. There core value proposition is being destroyed by GPT generating more contextualized copy paste snippets for them.

I have spent years using discord, slack and teams now so the migration to element as a client was definitely a welcome change. I like the idea of not having my companys historical communication tied directly to a single vendor and being abl

My unbaked opinion is that a majority of the forum was a javascript help board and with the advent of more advanced and silly web frontends the ability to 'copy paste' a snippet is less viable for javascript guys and so a lot of t

I've been using Matrix (and element as a client) for a little while now for personal and business stuff - I even wrote some fun little bot to shitpost random memes on my behalf. Anyone else using matrix actively for professional stuff?

At what point is this malicious? What is the actual consumer use case for this being built - a word that is deemed offensive by the amazon product people magically bricks you out of your own home?

I should have added a sarcasm tag. The thing that bugs me is that you could say a word other people don't like hearing on their own porch and be locked out of their home.
