I kind of miss making IRC bots where things were much simpler and ... quicker honestly (latency wise).

The "Computer Systems Analyst" TN profession is the usual path there (though rather weird). You need letters from your previous employers that you worked for 3 years full time. Some colleges in the US can even give you a degree equivalency on that basis.
> if a US company were interested in hiring me, they would handle the visa requirements (I'm unsure if this would be TN or otherwise).
They would (one can even do pre-approval), but some of them need handholding, and there's only so much they can do. But sometimes you might be surprised by the magic they can do (ex: doing the equivalency work).
Not sure why this feature keeps getting defered for "just about to land and things might be better after" server-side features (see how it has 7 out of 9 "dependencies" resolved) when none are needed.
I've had a couple of friend actually give up on matrix due to this. I also have to keep my phone on silent or else I can't be chatting on matrix without the constant bzzzing.
I'm also amused about the ever growing (currently at $760) bounty on this feature.
The hardest part is downloading the 30GB of weights.
This is easily solved by not using someone else's API.
Here's $500 worth of hardware you can get on ebay running Vicuna-13B, locally:
> IV fluids may not be the best treatment for someone with severe pulmonary edema and respiratory distress because it could make their condition worse. This is because when a person has severe pulmonary edema, their lungs are already filled with fluid, which makes it harder for them to breathe. Adding more fluid to their body could increase the pressure in their lungs and make it even harder for them to breathe. This could be life-threatening.
> Instead, the best course of action would be to focus on treating the underlying cause of the pulmonary edema, such as heart failure or a lung infection. This may involve giving medications to help the heart pump more effectively or to reduce inflammation in the lungs. The patient may also need oxygen therapy to help them breathe more easily.
> It's important to remember that every case is unique, and the best course of treatment will depend on the individual patient's condition. The healthcare team will do their best to provide the most appropriate care for the patient based on their specific needs.
Let's not pretend that just because there's a sandbox at a higher level of the stack and some kind of user ability to accept/deny operations that things are secure.
On Linux I use my distro's curated repository (ex to install cozy, an ebook reader, or yt-dlp), I don't care that it has access to the rest of my system, the bonus point is that I can have access to its source code. On Android, the first app I see has "In-app purchases" and will probably spy on me. Yes... I agree I guess, on Android (therefore ChromeOS) app stores I definitelly want sandboxing because it's a very adversarial relationship between the users and the apps.
Unfortunatelly that means you need to get into sandboxes, throw stuff in VMs and all the other things that will make performance and efficiency suck.
I miss the time where my computer ran only software I controlled and it wasn't a free for all where everyone wants to run random code (Javascript from websites is a big one here). All the Specter/Rowhammer stuff is only because you're sometimes running untrusted code. Why do people need to be running untrusted code all the time? /me goes back in the cave
