Fiber networks were using less than 0.002% of available capacity, with potential for 60,000x speed increases. It was just too early. I doubt we will see unused GPU capacity. As soon as we can prompt "Think about t

Hey, cool to meet someone who went down a similar avenue. BubbleRings also looks like a real fun startup. It used to be a form without typeaheads for years on Gnoosic too. I never manually fixed typos, but I have put quite some work into ma

Yes, since Gnod learns everything on its own, typos are inevitable. But over time, it learns that two names can mean the same author. You can help it by voting for typos here: https://www.gnooks.com/vote_typos If Gnoosic th

For some reason, in the early days of the web, email seemed like a logical choice to get input from users. The first time I tried to have users fill out a form, what I did was that I sent them an exe file which contained a windows applicati

That is a good idea. 59 requirements, including Django, seems pretty heavy though? For my own RSS feed, I use this 48 line Python file with no dependencies outside the standard library: https://github.com/no-gravity/ato

I really hope we will get deterministic LLMs in the future. Even if it causes slightly slower response times. Nondeterminism is what currently keeps me from working with other developers. As I wrote in "Prompt Coding" [1], these d

Awesome! Bookmarked. I will surely try it out once FireFox or Chromium on Linux support WebGPU in their default config.

This might be a misunderstanding. Did you see the "button that the user can click to select a model from their file system" part of my comment? I tried some of the demos of transformers.js but they all seem to load the model from

WebGPU is not yet available in the default config of Linux browsers, so WebGL would have been perfect :)

Yeah, something like that, but without the WebGPU requirement. Neither FireFox nor Chromium support WebGPU on Linux. Maybe behind flags. But before using a technology, I would wait until it is available in the default config. Lets see when

No, I'm looking for an html page with a button "Select LLM". After pressing that button and selecting a local LLM from disk, it would show an input field where you can type your question and then it would use the given LLM to

Is anyone working on software that lets you run local LLMs in the browser? In theory, it should be possible, shouldn't it? The page could hold only the software in JavaScript that uses WebGL to run the neural net. And offer an "up

Do you really need the timezone for each entry in the storage layer? The application knows how it stores data, so it can just use UTC or whatever it likes. One timezone for all entries. The interface then can display it in a way the user li

Do others here encounter that problem? I never do. I can't remember the last time I saw a hallucination in a commit. Maybe it's because the libraries I use are made from small files which easily fit into the context window.

I'm fine with treating AI like a human developer: I ask AI to write a feature (or fix a bug, or do a refactoring) and then I read the commit. If the commit is not to my liking, I "git reset --hard", improve my prompt and ask

I'm using a version of this when coding. I feed the task and the reply back to the LLM once and ask if the task was accomplished well. That is actually useful, as it often comes up with the same critique I have when reading through the

Here is a strange one: You look at integers in "packs" of 100. If a pack contains a prime number, you color it black, otherwise you color it red. The first pack contains 100 consecutive integers. The second every second integer. T

Looks like those are not open source? I think I have seen people who do 3D modeling objects to later print them on 3D-printers use open source software in the browser. But I could be wrong.
