@neauoire @j3rn Oh my god. I love how this is a text file on an unsecured connrction with ascii text in the header. This is bound to be gold

@j3rn @neauoire Mobile is the worst part in my experience! I'll take a thousand "python module version mismatch" issues over an xcode upgrade 🤣

Neat! What sort of stuff do you even use it for? I've only really looked into it as a curiocity since my job is mostly shoveling bytes around in weird ways rather than working with data.

@j3rn Jeeze that's so true. The main reason I avoid too many layers is people keep breaking them ans forcing me to update/refactor 🤣

I wanna go the other direcrion and code in prolog or something zany just to see what life is like in that world.

Watching Hackers with my partner finally. God I love this movie.

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
