It’s not so straightforward, though. In the U.S., wages are usually discussed in terms of hourly pay or annual salary, whereas in Brazil, they’re typically expressed as monthly earnings.


Is FastAPI still (micro)managed by one person?


I’ve never heard micromanaged used in this positive context


It's not positive


He got funding. So, I guess he can hire some people to help him.

His "pelican riding a bicycle" tests are now a classic and AI shops are benchmaxxing for it


They need to benchmaxxx a whole lot harder, the illustrations still all universally suck!


I fully expect a model to output a SVG made up of 1000x1000 rectangles (i.e. pixels) representing a raster image of a beautifully hand-drawn pelican riding a bicycle any day now :)


I got an amazing result from ChatGPT a while back - an SVG with a perfect illustration of a pelican riding a bicycle.

It was suspiciously good in fact... so I downloaded the SVG file and found out it had generated a raster image with its image tool and then embedded it as base64 binary image data inside an SVG wrapper!


You’ll just have to move the goalpost then; perhaps it can be a multidimensional pelican saving the multiverse, or an invisible pelican that only you can see and critique.


How would that help, given that ChatGPT has apparently already figured out how to consistently and systematically game the benchmark by working in pixel space and only using SVG as a wrapper for a raster image?

FWIW, I could totally see a not hugely more advanced model using its native image generation capabilities and then running a vector extraction tool on it, maybe iteratively. (And maybe I would not consider that cheating, anymore, since at some point that probably resembles what humans do?)


ive got such pixelated rectangle SVG's a few times.

also with cursor, "write me a script that outputs X as an svg" it has given me rectangles a few times.


If they were testing that it'd work more often.

Other things you can ask that they're still clearly not optimizing for are ASCII art and directions between different locations. Complete fabrications 100% of the time.


Well, I definitely hope they aren't trying to teach LLMs directions between locations, given how idiotic use of compute and parameter space that would be. We already have excellent AIs for route planning. What they ought to optimize for is, of course, finally teaching them to say they don't know, or just automatically opting to call a route-planning API if the user asks for directions.


Just recently we got an e-mail from a consulting company we work with, their devs are 100% allocated to the client. The letter was something along the lines: "We hear you guys are using Github Copilot, and we would appreciate if from now on you could provide the number of lines from each developer that was created with AI, that was helped by AI (they are distinct metrics), and how many the developer created on their own. Per month". We, the paying client, that work with several consulting companies, got that e-mail.

I understand the author, and if these days the developers are on it for the money and deliver, but don't bring up stupid shit like this, I don't care much. Not everybody is on it for any kind of creativity relief. Spending hours on their Lottie animations or shaving off miliseconds out of request is not really for everybody either. We are lucky to cross paths with people that care.


I don't even understand the email.. . The consulting firm that you hired is asking you how many LOC their devs are generating in your company?


Exactly. It's a 1000+ people consulting firm, with a few dozens allocated with us


Your existing JSON < 5 will work with json5, not the other way around


People living on the latest packages with their dependabots never made any sense to me, ADR. They trusted their system too much


If you don't review the pinned versions, it makes no difference.


Move like mobile phones

Now the "Pro"...


The Pro is because it's a colored display. Though I do agree I can't wait until we're done with the whole "Pro" branding non-sense everywhere in hardware.


Not sure what you mean or new to llms, but two RTX 3090 will work for this, and even lower-end cards will (RTX3060) once it's GGUF'd


This isn't a transformer, it's a diffusion model. You can't split diffusion models across compute nodes.


do you mean https://github.com/pollockjj/ComfyUI-MultiGPU? One GPU would do the computation, but others could pool in for VRAM expansion, right? (I've not used this node)


Nah, that won’t gain you much (if anything?) over just doing the layer swaps on RAM. You can put the text encoder on the second card but you can also just put it in your RAM without much for negatives.


The age of reading about something you love, and not effectively doing it.


Yeah, kinda painful TBH. I try not to read about them anymore. It's just pointless.


I'm in a similar situation of yours (I don't feel any kind of regret though, I just feel this is a phase and it will pass someday). Anyway, I still read (and indeed not much more than that) a lot about my passions, but taking notes and writing down ideas to maybe try in the uncertain future has helped me to feel engaged with my intellectual pursuits. Stay strong my friend.


Thanks! I'm going to see when this phase passes. Hopefully sooner than later, hah! Good luck to you too!
