Only for web pages that user has manually added to the home screen. Since normal users don't even know what that is, I don't see this as pushing the PWA envelope forward.

It looks very nicely organized. Looks like your biggest challenge will be converting UI projects. I even hate to suggest it because it's double the work, but I'd convert all your libraries first to .NET Standard 2. And then make

So the bottom line is that .NET Core can't call a .NET Framework library. It must be converted to .NET Standard first. And despite deprecation (let's call it that), .NET 5, 6, 7, 8 will continue to support calling into .NET Stan

> 101 projects Yikes. This is in C# I assume? If in VB, I'd run one project through Instant C# and see how many problems you encounter. There are lots of VBisms that are simply not in C# (like statement for one, xml literals, etc

I just ported a pretty large domain specific library from VB with .NET Framework 4.61 to C# with .NET 7. It took me probably 3 to 4 days to do with the assistance of Instant C# converter. There are lots of gotchas here and there and it doe

I think .NET "Standard" is deprecated. Per this article. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/the-future-of-net-stan... Though reading through it, I am still confused.

I tried because I was curious. It's not very good. First I "quantized" the files. Took about 3-4 hours. Then I ran a prompt: "create a short poem about my wife helping me get over the stuffed nose". After 3 hours

And what does a parameter mean in this context?

by starik36 4y ago
That is my experience as well. I've tried various models but nothing comes even close to the current ChatGPT implementation (when it manages to stay up).

From the article: Pre-trained on a trillion "tokens"... Doesn't 7B indicates that it was trained on 7 billion tokens? Or am I misunderstanding the nomenclature?

You could always PInvoke into any Win32 function. There was/is even a website to help you with a declaration. https://www.pinvoke.net/

> Virgin spend like 500M Is that really true? If it is, I am struggling to understand what the money is being spent on. I mean the cost of Space Shuttle launches was in that neighborhood.

That is sad. I thought the idea of using a 747 as a glorified first stage (or stage 0) was sound as it saved a ton of money. I wonder why they couldn't make it work. And why does a single failure doom a company after 4 successful lau

Thank you. llama.exe is basically main.exe? I actually learned how to compile this code via CMake/VS2019. It's sure a whole lot more complicated then it was 25 years ago when I was writing C.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Do you mind sharing the binaries?

by starik36 4y ago
This is awesome. One improvement would be to have a preview of what it looks like on the all the major OSes. Bonus for mixing in non-English versions of the OSes.

I tried it, doesn't work. Trying the sibling post from @buzzier.

Yes, it's possible. But saying "guy that played himself into burning $44 billion on a website that makes no money, just so he could force all its users to read his shitposts" isn't the way. It just reveals their biases

The # for private throws me every time I look at my code. Keyword "private" would have been so much cleaner and in line with most programming languages out there.

I don't exactly how, but I have a good idea where to start. I've built a compiler before (in college). I've bootstrapped from hardware before, so I probably could built a very basic kernel. I've worked with radios at th

ChatGPT is probably the first software product that I have no idea how I'd go about implementing. I watched a number of YT videos about it including Andrew Carpathy's 2 hour coding session building a mini GPT. I understand the pr

Thank you. I agree that this hasn't been handled the best way. Nonetheless, the links you presented - I don't see how that's mocking if the person didn't actually do any work. The laughing emoji was in response to Hara

The only thing that matters is what you take from it. Severance. Everything else is completely and utterly immaterial.

What was the actual "mock"? I don't see it in the sea of tweets.

You mean people being let go? There have been layoffs in ton of SV companies, complete with fake "I take full responsibility". I am not sure what to do, other than let go people, if the company is hemorrhaging money with not much

It is absolutely not "total trash", as other actually documented videos suggest. I use the AutoSteer (not FSD) feature and it is absolutely fantastic.
