You really only need a little more RAM than your GPU’s VRAM (unless you’re doing CPU offloading, which is extremely slow). Otherwise, I did the same thing recently too, and was surprised I was able to get it a Qwen 9B to fix a bug in a script I had. I think Sonnet would’ve fixed in a lot fewer tries, but the 9B model was eventually able to fix it. I could’ve fixed it myself quicker and cleaner than both, but it was an interesting test.

I don’t think he’s a grifter. He stopped running ads as soon as his contract with Twitch was over, doesn’t do sponsorships, doesn’t sell nutritional supplements, lets “fan channels” repost his content, personally donates to candidates and causes, runs donation streams, etc. I guess he does sell merch, made by union shops. I’m pretty sure most his income comes from subscribers. I think he could make much more money doing the things listed above if he wanted to. I don’t particularly like his personality, and he does seem to be fairly consumeristic and vain, but I don’t think he’s a grifter.

It’s insane that companies are going back to metrics like LOC (or tokens generated), when the industry figured out decades ago that these are horrible, counterproductive metrics.

I think this entire war was so Trump and the admin could personally enrich themselves by taking control of Iran’s oil in some way. They had success doing it Venezuela, and they were then convinced they could do it in Iran too. Attacking these countries would only produce limited, “well I agree, but don’t like the way he’s going about it” push back from establishment Dems and Western politicians in general. Israel “helping” is just a bonus, and provided further buy-in from the many Zionist politicians. They thought it would be a quick decapitation and puppeting like Venezuela was. I think Israel made things worse for the admin by bombing the people the admin had in mind for being the leaders.

Its literally a choice if you live on the streets here.

What if you can’t find work for whatever reason (e.g. there’s high unemployment and not enough jobs for everyone, or the person is somehow considered “unemployable,” but not necessarily disabled)? What about single parents with infants/toddlers? Are there a lot of “bullshit jobs” where you live?

Key is having it write tests and have it iterate by itself, and also managing context in various ways. It only works on small projects in my experience. And it generates shit code that’s not worth manually working on, so it kind of locks your project in to being always dependent on AI. Being always dependant on AI, and AI hitting a brick wall eventually means you’ll reach a point where you can’t really improve the project anymore. I.e. AI tools are nearly useless.

I mean, you could. Just encode 100ms chunks or whatever into tokens then push them through the same model. I’m pretty sure that’s what the claim to do (though with MoE/routing now, maybe).

I don’t think it’s so much “fear” of defying the president as it is they’re getting what they want from him (white christo-fascism), and they’re getting bribed by the same people. Most of the Dems are also dependant on the same interests as well (not necessarily the white Christian-nationalist stuff, but the same money). The concentration of wealth has put far too much power into too few hands. These same people are heavily influencing politics and public opinion worldwide. Idk, how we get out of this mess; have to bring the entire global economic system to its knees; forcibly redistribute their wealth or make it worthless I guess.

According to their tech/marketing papers, it’s supposedly multi-modal, encoding audio to tokens.

Yeah, chronological is an algorithm, and can be and is gamed. Would be cool if they had multiple algs like Lemmy that you could easily switch between.
