Trying to do math. It's been 15 years since I've done something this hard. Dusting out the cobwebs.
Bursts of inspiration then the next day fumbling like a moron that can't count all of my own fingers.2 -
I am so naive about LLMs. I wanted to know if I can just make one trained on text I produce. I don't even know what that means. But I read that it can take a huge effort to train one.
The more I read about this subject the less I understand. I assume some are available commercially:
https://github.com/eugeneyan/...
But I don't even know what that means. If I wanted to make an LLM to handle text interactions with NPCs what are we talking about here? Is it a multi-gigabyte file? Do I have to worry about what it was trained on? I don't want one that has infinite knowledge. I don't want it to have any frankly. I want to provide its reality as the sole creator.
The problem is I don't even know what the question is to ask it properly. I assume I need something that teaches it english, but then what comes after that?23 -
To add references between projects (build units like DLLs or EXEs) within a Visual Studio solution, you need to open a popup from the context menu on a child node of the referring project in the VS solution tree, the child node set and the context menu have a different layout depending on whether that project follows the 2021 dependency system. The popup freezes VS so you can't keep it around, and it does six other things related to dependencies, except for NuGet which for some reason masquerades as an editor tab instead (equally inconvenient for different reasons). In the popup you tick checkboxes in a massive list of every project in the solution, then you close it. This doesn't save the changes and there's no explicit way to save changes to a csproj file because VS manages csproj files and presents them exclusively as visual forms. You can save either by "Save All", or by unloading the project which prompts you about unsaved changes and then reloading it to be able to actually initiate a build it's included in.2

Just had a dream: a python but the head is a puppy and covered in puppy fur. I don't know what that means. You guys had weird dreams lately?2

First, the motherfucker CRLF. I wrote some test cases, split the string into lines. It worked fine until I pulled it from Git. Spent 30 minutes fixing it until I looked down at the VSCode statusbar and saw... "CRLF"!7

I have to spend 3 hours in the morning to do a safety e-learning, afternoon will be the practical part from 13:30 til 17:00. I work til 14:30 usually, so I guess Im looking forward to a productive day.1

I have to say thanks to all of you for keeping out politics from this platform. This is my safe island from that stuff, wherever I go on the internet is littered with that stuff and I'm extremely tired of it. Thanks guys once again and keep this place clean.5

Next week, dev colleagues from abroad are coming to my office. Apparently I have to organise a "design sprint". I have never done a design sprint and we have never ran a design sprint in my company. We don't even have a dedicated UX/UI person. Me and other dev are doing designs since we are front-end
From what I've looked it up, a design sprint should take 5 days to do it correctly. I only have 3 days to fill assuming no other activities are planned. So anyone got any tips or advice?4 -
Since strangely enough lack of decent site downloaders I've written one myself.
It's battle tested by downloading WHOLE devrant and a big part of molodetz. Both big sites. It makes the downloaded sites portable by making absolute urls relative.
It downloads with a high concurrency.
Reason I've made this, is because I want to have all this data is so I have a lot of spam examples to train a model on.
Project page and features here: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/.... Source code at bottom as always.
I hope someone will give it a try :)
And yes, the docs costed almost the same time as the code. Code doesn't contain unit tests, it's production tested instead. I applied many optimizations mentioned by my review tool. When i was done I was too tired for unit tests.random concurrent https absolute portable molodetz downie relative site downloader devrant crawler battle tested5 -
Postman is shit, alternatives?
Recently discovered that Postman is now dead shit and its devs are fuckers that now made their shit a payware.
https://blog.postman.com/announcing...
The solution is to use latest normal version https://github.com/postmanlabs/...
Or get an alternative. Are there any good ones?24
