There's a special hell for sites which have password requirements that are like 16 letters, one or more numbers, upper case and lowercase, at least one special character, and we disabled pasting/password managers

@simon Nice, like a file format for the configs so folks could pass them around and track changes in git?

@simon PR: github.com/simonw/llm-gpt4all/

Gonna need to mess with the parameters more another day though. But my gut feeling is we can up the quality of output significantly by turning down the temperature a bit and reducing the top_p to 1 and top_k to 4 like in the replicate.com demo

@simon Looked into this, I think the top_p and top_k are the main differences. The default in gpt4all is way more "loose".

Would a PR that sets different defaults be welcome? Or would you prefer to just have the flags exposed like your llama-cpp example?

I'll try hardcoding some values and running a generation again to see if it's "better" in the meantime.

@pauldaoust Hobestly might replace it with the default textbox implementation in QT/GNOME next. Syntax highlighting is too many cycles!

@alex@xim.ca Right?! I also set up my keybidings to be aligned with typical graphical text editors so it's the same muscle memory.

Fug, I think I am a cranky old fart type already because I like to write code closer to the metal instead of using all the fancy new tooling.

Maybe I should swallow my pride and install vscode and try copilot or whatever it is kids these days are using.

Also I'm still using nano for all my text editing so I might be imposing a deeper limitation on myself than most minimalists. :P

Kinda wild that after years of people being stuck in zoom calls we still need to constantly be like "Can you hear me now?" or "Oh, you're muted" or folks leaving their mic on while loudly typing.

I am guilty of all these things, FWIW. >:P

love documentation pages that you can just download as an html file and view + use offline

@erlend Are there enough solid users out there that this would be worth the effort? Like, are there a lot of queer furries actively making use of solid that aren't already on mastodon/etc?

Tomorrow's DWeb meetup will be hosted by @mai with talks by:

* Kevin Nguyen about our DWeb Node organizing work
* Bruno Vianna about DWeb+Coolab Camp
* @mauve + fauno of @sutty about Distributed.Press
* David Casey of Funding the Commons
* Guo Liu about ZuSocial Hacker House happening this month in Istanbul

We'll end with an informal hang on Gather.town

Hope you can join us !

I stumbled upon Standard Ebooks last year, and they're awesome! If you have a common type of e-reader for books, you can pick up books from them that have gone past their copyright dates.

I read some Voltaire and Herman Melville from them last year and their formatting is fantastic.

the EU privacy regulators are going ham on adtech folks right now, it's fuckin' glorious.

"users must consent before you can target ads at them or track them in any way"
"ok but what if-"
"DID WE FUCKING STUTTER"

Any e-signature services out there that charge per document instead of a subscription per month / year? I don't think I can justify 200 dollars a year for the 5 or so I need and I don't think I can keep making new accounts for the free trials :P

Gonna start pasting the entire bee movie script whenever a marketing chatbot pops up while I'm trying to read a page.

For reference: pastebin.com/raw/e90ZUNtD

Hopefully they get billed per word.

@makeworld Oh yeah good point.

For anyone curious here's an article about how bookmarklets work and an example of how to turn that script into one:

```
javascript:(()=>document.body.parentElement.style.filter="invert()")()
```

@todrobbins Lol! That's exactly what I use it for. I've had to use gmail cause of work and it's been a major sore every time I open my tab. :P

Been thinking of getting an extension or something together to auto-inject this based on domain.

Low key wish Github would stop adding features. The changes this year have made things way slower and more buggy. Now I have the pleasure of the "submit review" button not working anymore which is a pretty big chunk of my job. :P

It could be related to my ad blocker not letting them log every single action I take to their analytics though.
