ib33··on Small Models Have Arrived
I have been using Sol Medium and it works great. I switched to 5.6 Luna Medium after reading this and I am back to feeling angry and gaslighted.

One time, it said "You were right; I corrected the regressions and committed them."

It was still not fixed.

I do admit not hitting the five hour limit in two prompts is nice. However, I wonder if becoming an angry person because of cheap models is worth it.

ib33··on Hormuz Minesweeper – Are you tired of winning?
Why not remove sanctions so the civilians have less conflict with the regime? The protest and every death can also be blamed on those who cancelled the deal.
ib33··on Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS
Enough for multiple full time jobs. They've laid off staff who handled tasks they can no longer afford to pay for.

Is keeping both stable in their best interest or yours?

The set of options includes choosing to not keep anything stable. They can abandon both and go do other things. If the market wants them to keep x alive, it can offer a premium.

And how would you adjust Shadcn salaries to account for this additional work? Do we expect open source labour to be subsidised by maintainers while the rest of us find work at FAANG?
ib33··on Apple doesn’t want you developing hobby apps
Now they're just exceptions? You couldn't even think of the existence of exceptions earlier. See the problem? The Apple world is designed to work in a certain way and that is ok but people are saying some exceptions exist and those exceptions should be 'handled' instead of assuming they don't exist.

Also, to be clear - I said I was earning $500 a month a few years ago. At that point, I could afford the $99 fee but discovered the superficial constraint imposed on local development in an unexpected situation. The figure is also beyond the minimum wage I mentioned earlier. Essentially, your $500 hard line doesn't reflect how people can adjust their cost structures depending on their local economy, preferences and ambition.

I initially ignored your offer because I'm not from the two countries mentioned. There's a dev talent program I know of that occasionally gives out PCs and Macs to people who are getting started in tech but can't even afford a decent PC/Mac - can I link you up so you can donate?

I'm sure they can also target those that have already benefitted from the free devices to meet your specific intent.

A few years ago I was earning less than $500 a month (based on exchange rates), had an Apple computer (years behind the latest) and had time to develop. I've left the country now.

If I remember correctly, I discovered this timeout existed when I tried to show someone a mobile game I had built with Unity3d.

Privilege is blinding.

That is 20% of the monthly minimum wage in some countries.

You're correct. I've seen examples from Langchain's documentation and a similar but earlier tutorial from another commenter.

You're right. There's an interesting difference in the approach.

The creator's context seemed like a good addition when I was writing my initial comment. Is it offensive or problematic?

Yesterday, an undergraduate from Sri Lanka released KnowledgeGPT[1] which allows you to upload your docs and get answers from ChatGPT. It also uses FAISS so I'm wondering if DocsGPT is somehow related or inspired by the former.

It also appears the Github library for DocsGPT was created shortly after the release of KnowledgeGPT.
