@fleeky yeah sadly fine tuning needs way more resources than I have available. :( Maybe if I get an egpu?

Shitty dollar store painting. Cheap trash is worth a lot when the expensive is unattainable. #art
@fleeky I only use locally runnable models so I have no clue how well it compares to the big corpo ones. 🤷 Sadly the code Ibwas using this on is a proprietary codebase so I can't share it. I ended uo deleting and rewriting myself like three times. It was some pretty basic cli arg parsing code tho
@cwebber@octodon.social Interesting. My main frustratiom is thatthe code it write just isn't anywhere near the quality I need and it generates stuff that barely makes sense. I've mostly been exploring this as an alternative to speech to text coding and for doing some quick formatting but so far it's just sucked. Even very junior devs need less hand holding and reviews
Even though I still don't have screen sharing or a KDE dark theme working, I at least have an Emoji picker via wofi-emoji on my niri setup. 💜
@hermeticvm@convo.casa Cool to hear ty for sharing. Is your code published somewhere I may read?
Today I was trying to get it to generate some cli commands in Node.js (this is with phi3+continue via ollama) but t has trouble adhering to the specific syntax and structure I wanted it to use.
I found a big issue for me has been hallucinated packages or APIs within packages. Maybe doing multi step stuff where inject context from api docs could help there.
@hermeticvm@convo.casa Yeah I'm using continue.dev with ollama and phi3
Previously I used some 7B models that were just too slow.
The starcoder model has been giving okay suggestions once in a while but is super slow still. Deepseek seems to be too dumb to do anything useful.
@cwebber@octodon.social Is this from personal experience and finding out or second hand from what others have said?
Are folks using #ai copilots for generating code successfully? Mine gets confused on syntax a bunch but it's a local model which is general rather than code specific. Like I wonder if I am prompting it poorly or something

The difference between mastodon and tiktok is that mastodon is for shouting into the void and tiktok is for staring into the abyss.

Did you know that Dansup who made PixelFed is working on a federated TikTok clone called Loops and it looks extremely good https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112331179499992996
Dansup has been posting a lot about the WIP and the design choices are very user-centric in a way that the Fediverse sometimes is not
@trwnh I think pre facebook fedi was just email and mailong lists :P

@futurebird This is a good question and I wish I had an answer. The closest thing I have (it's an old book— it's been a while since I've done much Java) is "Bitter Java". It maybe is a slightly more advanced book, but. It is a book by a consultant who comes in to fix problems in other people's code. So it's all about "here's things people do wrong in Java— here's how to do them better". It's a very odd book, more philosophy than code, one of the best pieces of CS writing I've ever read actually.

Here's a brilliant neologism: "slop", for text generated entirely by LLMs and published, unwanted, on the Internet
> Watching in real time as "slop" becomes a term of art. the way that "spam" became the term for unwanted emails, "slop" is going in the dictionary as the term for unwanted AI generated content

@dentangle May I see your code? Are you putting them into a local DHT or gossip MST of some sort? :o

Dunno if some dipshit will call me posting this FUD again, a mere week after the last time I said it. But once again: if you build your business on top of anything offered by Google in virtually any way, you are in "fool me seventeen times" territory here. No company has indicated its disdain for the developer ecosystem to the degree Google systematically does.
Everything that doesn't pull the revenue of Ads is eventually killed, and nothing pulls the revenue of Ads.

.....here's a hot take:
Phishing tests are a symptom of a failed security department.
If you 'need' those in your workflow, then you have failed to implement proper anti-phishing controls. You have failed to implement correct MFA. You have failed to implement telltales for message provenance. You have failed to filter spam and malicious traffic. You have failed to isolate services. You have failed to incorporate proper logging. You have failed to protect your coworkers and you are lying to them instead to cover up your continued failures.
Blue teaming is about -protecting- the users so that they are able to carry out their work in the high-trust environment required for effective collaboration. If you fucking -lie- to them, that cannot -happen-.
For anyone curious I ended up getting this three in one that also acts as a signal generator. I'm gonna be doing some basic signal processing for an EMG HID project so it'll be useful to test whether my FFT captures frequencies accurately enough.
@smallsees Excellent this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Ty!
