Yep! it's public dialogue, intended for an audience with a prepared topic, etc. Or it's actors imitating private dialogue, but again shaping it towards an audience. AI agents like this are trying to recreate personal intimacy I gu

Thinking a bit further ahead, what does the world look like in 30-40 years when a generation has been accustomed to this type of interaction from birth. Feels like trying to imagine the societal impacts of the internet in the early 90s.

This is an interesting take, and I'd guess that the training data for this probably did use podcasts as a source. Getting very realistic / real world conversational training data for an ai would be hard. Only a subset of us appear

I also append "reddit" a lot - almost always when I want to get rid of google results that are ultimately just sales / marketing and not directly answering my queries. Reddit is not even a great source a lot of the time, just

People talk a lot about how transformative AI will be but rarely from the point of view it will have on society when interactions like this are 10x more realistic and ubiquitous. I imagine an agent with this kind of conversational capabilit

This is pretty much my experience too, back then I had a copy of a 1000+ page book called HTML 4 The Complete Reference. With that tome on my desk it honestly didn't take much work to be able to do a better job than Dreamweaver using n

Wow, I was taught Dreamweaver on a college course in the very early 2000s but I have never really seen it used professionally. In 20+ years of employment I think I came across one developer who used it, and that was probably in 2005 or so!

Possibly they could have added that warning, but at the same time this is a guide from the ffmpeg project, presumably for ffmpeg developers. They lay it out quite clearly I think, but things like libavcodec are probably one of the few types

All well and good until you need an image with CUDA toolkit and pytorch involved. Clearing your apt cache and removing extraneous packages is peeing in the wind when faced with GB worth of shared objects.

Weirdly we just this week came across docker hub limiting our pulls from a CI job in AWS. Not something we'd encountered before but seems earlier than these changes are meant to come into effect. We've cloned the base image into E

Didn't the deepseek paper itself state they trained on 2048 H200s? Claiming they have access to 5x this amount is not such a bold claim?

Yes this is very interesting! The hardware, tooling and time required to do a LoRa fine tune like this are extremely accessible. Financially this is also not a big expense and I assume would have cost in the order of $100s of dollars in GPU

Possibly you didn't mind the salary because you'd already worked at FAANG?

There's an aspect of longevity to our impact I love to contemplate. For most of us, our tech work will be long forgotten and obsolete 20 years from now. At best it will have provided some small intangible advance - hopefully for the b

I've recruited for many roles in the UK for a very large tech employer (1000s of developers but not a FAANG). With 20 years experience you'd get through our semi-automated processes and get an interview if the skill sets and empl

No that's not my point. Becoming very proficient at vim or knowing you way in depth around the command line takes time, years in my experience. Maybe with 50+ years there's a limited amount left to learn, but with my 25 I'm s

I might be in group 2, rely heavily on command line tools and vim to do what vscode and a load of plugins provides younger programmers. My answer to the fairly common question of "how do you do it" is always the same though. I alw

I have bulbs from wiz, which already have HA support. Being new to all this home automation stuff I was quite intrigued how they worked though. They're exposed on the WiFi network over a really simple UDP based protocol which led me do

Not sure I follow, do you not use templates and scripts to generate the static pages? I was a web developer 25 years ago and for the majority of projects we only made static sites, all templated and minified. My skills are somewhat "of

There's certainly wastage in large organisations. Over provisioning or keeping that huge S3 bucket full of data from some long forgotten project. I suspect a lot of the huge AWS customers just eat this because it's so hard to miti

I'm old and was self hosting 20 years ago, but we're comparing apples to oranges a bit here! Using AWS for smaller personal projects will always be more expensive and probably less fun. On the other hand I recently had to run an M

There's a much higher barrier to entry with CNC. I have a cheapo CNC - few hundred dollars - and really have only ever made one practical usable "thing" on it. It's so slow and needs much trial and error to get a decent

On the contrary if you're a coder doing anything non-substantial and only rarely need to do some basic 3d modelling I would say definitely look to openscad! I make models for my 3d printer just a few times a year. I find it much easier

This was my understanding of signed URLs also. I was wondering why they needed to be cached, then afterwards wondering why the generation was so slow when I read the 250ms part.

Still using it but the regions issue is annoying. We currently deploy to an entirely odd region way outside our geographical location because it had the most available models when we set up, even then it still lagged behind and only got gpt
