It's still there.

Where it says "Thought for 20 seconds" - you can click the Chevron to expand it and see what I guess is the entire chain of thought.

Just be aware you don't get to use all of it. I believe you only get access to ~20.8GB of GPU memory on a 32GB Apple Silicon Mac, and perhaps something like ~48GB on a 64GB Mac. I think there are some options to reconfigure the balance but they are technical and do not come without risk.

I would use this. Is there anywhere in Goa I can verify my passport? Or maybe in Mumbai / Dabolim airport?

Great stuff - and training was so cheap too - it would have cost less than $200 on Runpod, and half that price on spot instances.

I guess it's time languages other than Python, especially niche ones, started collating their own language specific datasets.

Personally, I daydream about an Elixir specific LLM I could run locally, trained or fine tuned to respond in an idiomatic fashion, and plug into a tool like Cursor.so.

Are there any examples of the internal dataset used in the 80K instruction / answer pairs Phind used to tune this?

With the prevalence of Wayland, I don't think it's correct to say that most Linux users will never encounter problems with NVIDIA. Things have improved recently but Intel and AMD are still way ahead when it comes to that.

An approach I moved from this to, was to use the DB trigger to write jobs directly to an Oban oban_jobs table.

Oban jobs run almost instantly when they are queued so there's no perceptible difference in speed, but you get all the benefits of resilience that Oban provides, so your webapp connection can go down, such as during a deploy, and still catch up reliably.

It's also handy to be able use the oban_jobs table for debugging purposes.

I honestly believe SWOS 96/97 (Amiga version) is the greatest football game ever made. I've been playing it periodically ever since, whether through emulators (WinUAE) or bundles and mods like this that adds netcode and updated players. I'm not that great though, I played Playaveli (the guy behind this site) online about 12 years ago and he easily beat me - 6-3 if I remember correctly.

With Slots and JS Commands LiveView has almost everything now to be able to convert Bootstrap, Bulma or especially Tailwind UI into a really fantastic Phoenix/LiveView component library. Probably won't even require AlpineJS...

Although I think 'Declarative Assigns' from the roadmap (already in Surface UI) would make everything a bit nicer, it's not needed.

The Tailwind UI license will unfortunately prevent peoples implementations of that from being shared though.

It can but it's far less likely with Rust, that's the beauty of it.

I don't think that has aged well at all actually.

You can run intel/amd64 images too by passing '--platform linux/amd64'.

I span up Hasura last week and it worked fine - there will be a speed impact but I couldn't notice it for that use case.

No, Crostini is the name used for suite of software that allows for Linux support in Chrome OS.

In the UK at least - you get a pair of very nice Bose QC 35 IIs (RRP £299) free, if you buy soon.

These are selling on eBay for £200 currently, though I'm sure that price will drop a bit once the market gets flooded.

If you do sell at that price though, that brings the price of the phone down to £399, and at that price it is a steal.

The Pixel 4a is a great phone for £350, and this brings a bigger battery, faster CPU, 5G, wide-angle lens, 90hz screen, wireless charging, water resistance, and 2GB more memory for an extra £50 if you are able to offload the headphones.

I've just tested on regular i3 (no Sway).

Works pretty well until you start moving or resizing the window but once I did it crashed the app a couple of times.

I also couldn't start the app fullscreen on a 4K display - it just displayed a small black rectangle. Other than that it felt fast and smooth.

It is an alpha though, so I thought it was promising nonetheless.
