@retoor LMStudio. It works well with the API server. I use Ruby as the language I use to call the API mostly out of momentum since that's what my personal monolith app is written in.

@retoor I also love the image processing. It makes certain kinds of tasks that would normally require an API as trivial as taking a screenshot.

@retoor I love gemma 27b qat. It's accurate and fast and pretty good at general conversation.

And whether it was a wise financial decision or not, I got a 5090 so I could run things as fast as possible. I'm not regretting it.

This feels like something a q2 1B LLM would generate.

I don't know about NASA specifically, but the little bit of space travel we have mastered enables the modern world to function.

You know what definitely doesn't help?

Finally moving the stuff that bugs you to the back of your mind and being able to function for the first time in months, only to be helpfully reminded about those things for your own good.

Found a task to consume you so your mind quiet? Well, too bad. We're having a pity party ...I mean a seminar... about mental health that you must attend.

Not thinking about it is a valid way to deal with your problems. Not everything needs attention.

Being moved to a position you weren't hired for and aren't being properly paid for sounds like they planned to do this from the start. Find new employers.

Since it takes wordpress itself seconds to load no matter what I do, I decided to set up nginx caching and crawl the entire site and see how that works out.

With limited testing, the times go from 2+ seconds to .2 seconds. I can't image this is scalable, but I really need to prove it's even possible.

I've spent hours working on this phantom performance issue. I test with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge and they all load nearly instantly now. Same with curl.

But when their tool scans the site, I get 3 or 4 second load times in the report. lighthouse is about the same. They tell me that the time to first byte around 2 to 3 seconds, but that's not happening in any way I can observe.

I feel like I'm missing something.

@webketje We don't have any trouble with bandwidth, so converting it all to avif is not really needed.It's more of a wishlist item.

I like it.

My take on undoing 600 years of existence: unless there are outside observers that are unaffected by the unmaking, or the unmade actually still exist in some way, their annihilation really doesn't matter one way or another.

@iiii It's better not to look at the screen during those fights. I'm not even joking. I got really good at parrying and that nonsense still fooled me most of the time.

It's been a while since I was at the Forgotten Battlefield, so I'll have to check it out.

@iiii I recognize there are some late game enemies that seem to be this way, but I'm not certain that's actually the case. There's so much going on in those fights, the cues could actually just be drowned out by other sounds. And considering how tight everything else is, that might actually be a bug.

Explain to him that everything breaks after 4 prompts and that you will be unable to deliver until this meme has passed.

Why pay for a team when you can pay for one guy that does the work of a team for the pay of half a guy?

@Lensflare There's almost always a swish noise or grunt (with Gestrals) before the attack. Parrying right after the sound has finished playing will almost always result in a successful parry. It's so reliable, you can parry brand new enemies once you train yourself to hear it. Dodging until you can reliably get perfect dodges is how they want you to train. Sometimes it even helps not to look directly at the screen, so that the visuals don't distract from the sound.

@iiii I love Halo: CE and the Valve fps games. Whether or not that's because they were my first games, I don't know, but I still like them a lot. When I had more free time, UT2k4 was where I spent a lot of time.

I love the Everspace games. And Freelancer. And Star Trek Bridge Commander. I wanted to like Chorvs but it was definitely not for me.

@iiii I'm very bland when it comes to my normal choices of games. I like narrative heavy games and usually go for something straightforward like fps. I don't play multiplayer at all because I will never be as good as a 12 year old.

I played Undertale. It was pretty good for what it was.

I want to like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, but I'm not interested in the kind of micromanagement needed to properly build a character.

The only Pokemon games I really like were the early gen games because there really wasn't much focus on minmaxing while also not being so handholdy that it's a babygame.

I've played Hollow Knight and Sifu and loved them because they're very fast paced and smooth. I tried Furi but couldn't get the hang of it. I refuse to play any of the Souls games because I don't find watching a broken animation system kill me to be any fun.

I avoid visual novels mostly because the art direction is almost universally cringe.

So basically, whatever looks neat.

@jestdotty Interesting take. This may come in handy for me soon.

Your salary expectations aren't low enough. That's what it boils down to.

There's always React Native.

Apple, in its infinite wisdom and compulsion for the world to hold things correctly and to think different, will not allow anything that remotely resembles an existing website on their blessed store, so you'll be stuck writing an app no matter if your site fulfills every function you need.

At least with React Native, you only have to write one app for both Android and Apple and you get to lean on your existing React knowledge.

They already stole literally everything once to train the models and got away with it. Why wouldn't they steal literally everything again?

Link please.

@kiki The general population uses imperial and NASA still does just fine.

NASA exists and is very successful even though the general population uses imperial. It's almost like it doesn't really matter and that this topic is needlessly divisive.

@Demolishun The machine learning full line completion is very hit or miss. Sometimes it will know exactly what I'm trying to do line after line and saves a ton of time. Other times it gives me nonsense that just wastes my time. I don't think it can be disabled while the assistant plug-in is enabled, or else I would.

I just assume and hope that this will get better.

@retoor No one will ever accuse me of being too malleable or open to change, but when I'm convinced of something, I'm convinced.

It is very helpful for getting going on things I don't know much about, like shader programming and c++.

Ultimately, I think that's the main goal. To give people a running start where they can then develop expertise, as opposed to not getting started at all.

I will argue the ethical implications of how it was trained until the day I die, but I think it's a lesser of two evils type situation. Either the knowledge and skills go into the void or they're scraped without consent or compensation so that people can do something with them.

I know this is a joke but I'd guess the chocolate pattern is slightly different so the machine knows what belt to send it down for packaging.

@netikras You're holding it wrong. Have you tried holding it correctly?

When you realize that we've been lead poisoned as a species for all of our history, it explains a lot of things.
