The Dick Van Dike show is a great one.

The Marvelous Misses Maisel

The game from the startreck like episode on BlackMirror and Sword Art Online! Both are arguably great.

The twilight zone episode about the podcast and the airplane is amazing too.

Three dog is a treasure

I guess to me be able to serve the 408b model even though I’m on a laptop is just awesome to me.

Also I saw Lora was an option for Petals but I haven’t messed with it at all.

The splitting is 80% of the cool factor for me. Rather than bog down the one node that can handle those cooler models, and have more contribution opportunities.

I wonder honestly if a petals network could be a target host on horde lol

You have to put the highest scoville rated ingredient on your hot food stall.

I do not want to be surprised in either direction.

I feel like some function of actual measurements of say hormone levels over a given training period and lifetime would be a better classification systen over pure sex class system.

Most of the time it would result in the same divisions tbh, but outliers would be better accommodated and we get the added bonus of further breaking down gender roles.

Religion is an opiate. The best way to reduce its abuse is by addressing the underlying pain. When people conditions get worse they look to things to help numb the pain.

None taken! I’ll check out AI Horde!

Is there any objective measured ways or at least subject reviews based metrics for a model on g8ve problem set? I know the white papers tend to include it and sometimes the git repos, but I don’t see that info when searching through ollama for example.

I saw you other post about ollama alts and the concurrency mention in one of the projects README sounds promising.

Very much pro Open Source AI. Especially as a concept digital public good. With https://petals.dev/ being the most promising option that regard (imagine something like RAG for the arch wiki with very large models supported by the community!).

It feel very enthusiasts right now. Where I feel like I’m just on the cusp of having usable set up.

I personally really want a full Dev that just takes gitlab issues and runs codes against tests until it passes, and then cycles between attempting to explain what it doing and refactoring until that explanation is reasonably simple, then submit PR.

At the moment I am trying to use it as a copilot (ollama lama3, continue, and devonAI vscode plugins) all on my MacBook (my Linux machine were too small gpu wise, at least first time I attempted). That said it ok for questions no real luck on a decent experience for actually making anything.

The next step to me for it to move from enthusiast to hobbiest would be:

1. Models that just work on my machine. I had to do a lot of trial and error just get performant models.
2. Models just my use case. I don’t know what model support tooling, or multimodal inputs. What models are actually optimized for programing, for actions (ala openinterpretor), for reviewing documents, etc.
3. For federated (like pedals.dev) I feel like I need some sane data guardrails. I don’t want my medical documents anywhere near “bittorrent style” anything, but would absolutely love to leverage it for better outcome on opensource projects without secrets file. This also feeds into point 2 to me.
4. More sane RAG. Maybe even IPFS links to caches or DBs for popular data sources (like code docs for example).

I feel like there has to be a better way for this. Maybe its just selinux rules for data tags for locking down my local system and some routing config file at the root of my projects. Idk tbh

Compute space heater setup right under the bed might not be a bad idea during the winter

It has a terry top and then I have additional sheets on top of that to help wick, plus celing fan. But yeah still have sweat issue 😅

I air out my mattress when I wash my sheets (leaving it uncovered for that day) and push it vertical on the wall (like a Murphy bed).

I know I’m saying don’t buy anything, but I have always gotten those terry cloth textured water proof covers for my matteress too. Getting fluids out of mattress is just a losing battle

Have less stuff :p need less storage, but honestly this is the best reason I’ve heard

But why do we really need convenience, right? I agree there is a real argument for outsourcing labor to a more specialized group, but honestly a lot of the time we trying to save hours or minutes so we can spend more time and money consuming some bs to fight our boredom.

Tbh about everything. Most of retail is just an industrial scale of the addage “a fool and his money will soon be parted”.

Buy second hand, its fine. You probally can figure it out yourself, try to diy. Look at what people are actually doing not the brand of tool they are doing it with. Its a saw, you saw with it, you can get away with sawing a lot of stuff with the same cheap saw.

Soaps are just collections of chemicals, powerwash for example is just dish soap plus water and isopropal alcohol.

You can probably cook it at home. It will probably be better and better for you, because a pound of lard or cup or sugar looks like the red flag it is when you go to cook with it.

Your bed might be better on the floor, then on a frame.

You are probably better off walking or biking then driving.

You probably don’t need to watch more shows anyways so why get fleeced to subscriptions. You probably don’t need to play games as much so you can pass on that game. You probally don’t need to go out for a drink. You probally don’t need to go out for a meal. Etc etc

Honestly, I’m a hypocritical ass saying some of this, but its true. The urge to go spend spend spend, isn’t a fluke its just successful sociol engineering to separate us fools from our money.

I mean beside the fairphone and pixel with calyxos and graphenos or the librem 5 (and THATs a niche user that’ll like that one) the rest all seem equally malicious towords us users.

Honestly, compentcy around the product line and customer base, humility to reach out to the experts in the company for decisions, industry connections, actually being available and listening to employee feedback and confidence in decisive action born out of the latter items.

If I’m understanding though it is closer to espresso because of the higher pressure, right?

Yeah! I started it because I partner wanted a more latte like drink, and I like a very creamy coffee.

I will say contrary to what I expected, I had to lower my soak time because it gets bitter faster, but I still prefer it.

I take my coffee cup fill it full of whole milk, microwave at 60% power for ~3 min. Fill the bottom of my press with a layer of course ground bean, sprinkle in the chickory (maybe a whole layer), another layer of bean, power the hot milk in, wait 5-10 min, press and pour.

If I’m making some for guests I just add their cups of milk as well and a little thicker layers.

Oddly cold brew has that dirty flavor to me, so I never, despite wanting to, got into it.
