simse··on Whisper.cpp v1.4.0
Exciting to see some parts now (optionally) running on the GPU.
simse··on Remove “This incident will be reported.” from user warnings
The warning is added back here: https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commit/9757d29a24ac1872...
simse··on Improbably Right
Sorry, unrelated to the writing (which I enjoyed), but related to the horizontal scrollbar! If you change w-screen to w-full on both the navbar and footer, it goes away. 100vw -> 100%. Just a tiny enhancement to an otherwise good looking website.
simse··on Lego breaks ground on first US manufacturing facility
That is correct, but has since been bought back. Well it's a little more complicated, but it's 50% owned by the Kirky family.
simse··on GPT-3 Creative Fiction (2020)
25 fonts loaded! That might be a record. But seriously, very interesting stuff.
simse··on User: Junnn11
Yep, this is one of those issues that get missed because a good chunk of SWEs have fast machines and test the application locally. I've started enabling throttling in dev tools so I can catch these kind of UX problems.
simse··on I Quit Reddit in 1 Day
Reddit has one of the worst frontends I have ever seen. Not even from a "SPAs are evil"-standpoint. It's just awful. That has deconditioned me very effectively.
simse··on ChatGPT: Mayor starts legal bid over false bribery claim
Can you defame someone in a private conversation, from a legal point of view?
simse··on Show HN: Live coaching app for remote SWE interviews, uses Whisper and GPT-4
Oh I see, I wasn't reading it like that
simse··on Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
Few criminals consider the consequences of their actions. As crappy as it feels, harsher sentences just don't work.
simse··on Show HN: Live coaching app for remote SWE interviews, uses Whisper and GPT-4
Why?
simse··on Microsoft tests Windows account menu error badge when Microsoft Account not used
I'm annoyed that Windows named my user account hello.. because my email is hello@simse.io.
simse··on State-of-the-art open-source chatbot, Vicuna-13B, just released model weights
It's actually very impressive. I gave it the task of converting a query and an OpenAPI spec into an API call, and it worked! I've not been succesful in getting GPT-3.5 to do this without rambling on about the reasoning for its decision.
simse··on ChatGPT is down
Sometimes the ChatGPT UI has gone down while the API has been unaffected (like yesterday). Also GPT-4 via the API is much faster. That's the point of using an alternative UI. As for self-hosting it, that's just to ensure it doesn't go away I suppose.
simse··on ChatGPT is down
It's compromise we have to accept for now.
simse··on ChatGPT is down
I've been using this self-hosted UI that was posted a couple of days ago: https://github.com/cogentapps/chat-with-gpt. The API is still fully functional.
simse··on ChatGPT is down
If I had to make an educated guess, it looks like maybe caching issues, like Steam had a couple years ago.
simse··on Show HN: Alpaca.cpp – Run an Instruction-Tuned Chat-Style LLM on a MacBook
I'm sorry, it's ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) or GPT-4
simse··on Swedish pension giant loses $1.1B from US banks’ collapse
Short the other banks they might have stocks in, is what I think they mean
simse··on Ask HN: Is it worth it to get a masters degree in CS for SWE?
One half would be covered by the Danish State, the other half by a tuition loan. I would however lose the income from the internship, so it has to be very worth it for me to go ahead.
simse··on Ask HN: Is it worth it to get a masters degree in CS for SWE?
Bachelor's in the UK are only three years, so I'm very nearly two thirds done. Regardless, I hear what you're saying.
simse··on Show HN: AI Files – manage and organize your files with AI
Ahh you're right. I've been fooled.
simse··on Show HN: AI Files – manage and organize your files with AI
Looks like it actually _is_ using ChatGPT: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chatgpt
simse··on GitHub Text of government takedown notices as received
That's my mistake, I should have included a source. But the fact remains, it is blocked: http://www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=github.com.
simse··on GitHub Text of government takedown notices as received
Yes, Github is blocked in China
simse··on Your eBay account has been suspended
Yeah that's fair, I'm facing the same thing with credit, since I just moved to the UK.
simse··on AWS Amplify Studio: Figma design to full-stack apps
At what point is AWS too big? Or should I say, when did they become too big?
simse··on Your eBay account has been suspended
I had my brand new account banned today as well. How does one sell an iPhone on Ebay without being suspicious?
simse··on Show HN: Coding Font – A game to find your favorite coding font
Yeah that'd be super cool, I also ended picking the one I already use.
simse··on Go 1.18 will embed source version information into binaries
That is very nice, thank you for sharing
