Geez, that's really harsh. I don't think any single thing you've claimed is factually wrong, and I don't speak for Eleuther nor am I attempting to justify their claims. But. As I understand it (mostly from lurking on the

I'd love to know the minimum hardware requirements to run something like this locally.

You can do this with sound. A hybrid system even better. I built tech ~10 years ago to track quiet, sound emitting objects in real time to sub CM resolution using microphone arrays. And in one demo I even had a laser pointer mounted on a

Every time I've needed something like this (3 times in my career, though none in the past 5 years) I've ended up having to implement it from scratch. Depending on the topology of the data, different metrics are used and you can ma

Minor sticking point, I want to object to the prefix "with k8s, it's become a cinch...". In my experience, this prefix is only true when followed by phrases such as "shoot yourself in the foot", "over complic

Me too! But the thing is, a vanilla C library can be used by anything . It's the lowest common denominator. I can easily call into a C library from Python, Perl,... MATLAB... and I don't know JavaScript but I bet it's not

Amen to this! I too got really excited until I saw it was JavaScript. For me to use it I'd have to link against some sort of JavaScript interpreter (ew) and probably incur performance penalties shoveling the data too and fro. Can&#x2

This is great advice. I'd say do exactly this, PLUS, accept it in the end, regardless, because non-competes are invalid in CA. (provided it's a CA job).

I wonder too. Ask a lawyer! I've had the (dis)pleasure of dealing with employment lawyers, and it's amazing the stuff we don't know, that they do, and works in our favor.

If you, or the company, is in California go ahead and sign it. Non-competes are not valid or enforceable in the state of California. I am not a lawyer, but when faced with a very similar situation, the lawyer I sought advice from told me t

This is the worst and most depressing thing I have seen in a long time. Remember when we used to write software? The turtle stack is way too high.

This is a very interesting project and I'm looking forward to diving in over the coming weeks. Why not immediately? Because I'm a happy user of ActivityWatch -- a fantastic similar tool, which, quoting the authors is " The b

It wouldn't be a gimmick, I imagine it would be a hard requirement for me to use the program at all.

Exactly. I question if this sort of strictly tiered approach is really the best. We're all gonna have to get it in the end, so why not err on the side of higher throughput? I'd happily queue early (and do a volunteer shift) to g

It's exactly the same thing. I've been seeing this tossed around for years now, and one of these days it'll make me grumpy enough to fix the benchmark.

Another +1 for you to post your thesis once you can!

I really like this, OP. I'm member of the clan "why are you creating your own XDR, just use sqlite!!" and have oft jumped to that in technical discussions, so appreciate it. However, what's lacking from something like t

Immediately. And recently begun idly wondering if people are going to be jumping the queue. (and how they might do so...)

Wow, "Dabblers and Blowhards" (essay) sure has aged well.

Exciting! As a primarily C & C++ programmer this makes me happy. Also, I see that there's now examples for C++ that don't involve "step 1, download nodejs". Progress!

Nah, I worked on a "platform engineering team"/DevOps for a year and I have no idea what this service does or what it's for. I have a vague inkling, like I could make a guess, but even thinking about that makes my hea

Being as you're offering use of the site for free, would you be open to the idea of also offering publicly available DB dumps? There's plenty of fun projects that I can imagine doing if I had that data locally.

Fantastic service! I also have thought of offering this as a side project, but I'm glad to see someone else get to it first so I don't have to. Also loving the website layout. No muss no fuss. One question I don't see ans

Actually, "echo" started off as a semi-holodeck. It was supposed to be kindle/tv/radio/everything replacement, for your living room. Bezos wanted "kindle, without the hardware". Like, read off of your ou

Fantastic. Got priced out of SF 10 years ago, moving back in 3 months (hopefully).

I bet I could do that. (or otherwise solve the problem.) My email address is on my profile, send me a note if you're interested in talking more.

1ms is barely "ok". with 1ms you'll still hear ugly comb filter effects. (see my other comments)
