Why don't they already carry payloads? Is there anything worth taking up with the current expected value of it exploding ect?

hoschicz · a year ago

they showed a banana in the payload bay, that was the testing payload:)

they pushed the rocket to the limits in this flight

FWIW: you can use any other proxy server for this to any openai compatible api server.

e.g. with mitmproxy and llama-cpp-python server

  python -m llama_cpp.server --n_ctx 4096 --n_gpu_layers 1 --model ./path/to/..gguf

and then with mitmproxy in another terminal

  mitmproxy -p 5001 --mode reverse:http://127.0.0.1:8000

and then set this in your vscode settings.json (the same as for localpilot):

  "github.copilot.advanced": {
      "debug.testOverrideProxyUrl": "http://localhost:5001",
      "debug.overrideProxyUrl": "http://localhost:5001"
  }

works way better for me than localpilot

How is context-from-following-tokens implemented in the pure OAI API? I assumed there must be specialized models that have two separate context windows.

I use one with 16 GB and it's fine, 0 issues whatsoever.

I got an M1 macbook pro when they first came out, in about April of this year the screen suddenly stopped working without warning. External display worked fine, internal one just showed random colours. Took it to apple for repair, they tried various things and said the mainboard need to be replaced at a cost of something like £700. I refused and just put the laptop away until someone at work mentioned that in the UK we have the consumer rights law that gives us 6 years for which we can expect our purchases to continue to function properly. I messaged apple support and mentioned my consumer law rights under the law and the immediately dispatched a box for me to send the laptop to them and had it collected the next day. In under a week it was back, repaird (new display, top case) at no cost to me. It's amazing what a difference knowing your rights makes!

2 years right

When it was first introduced, it received frequent updates [1] but now it's been 2 months since the last update. So either Google is preparing some huge update (Gemini?), or Bard is going to disappear as a standalone product and instead will be absorbed into other products like Search, Docs, etc.

I'm seeing that they just updated it today on the URL you linked

So this means now they're no longer free I suppose :(

> - people saying that there are "more performant" devices. Sure, there are. How do they perform in terms of kernel support and documentation?

One of the main options pointed at is low-power x86 boxes, which are better than Pis ever were. The rest of the ARM ecosystem is, I agree, poor.

> - people (often Americans) saying that the Pi has been "supply-constrained for five years". It really hasn't; it wasn't particularly supply-constrained in the UK until about five or six months into the pandemic.

Then it really has; there being a supply in the UK isn't exactly useful to most of the world.

> What I don't understand is this: how is it, if you've not been able to get hold of something for _five_ years, there's been no obvious co-ordinated attempts to get mainline support for the alternatives, or even any attempt to match the documentation? Five years was plenty of time to pick a single series of devices and match the same level of kernel support, surely? Couldn't it have been crowdfunded?

Partially, nobody was expecting it to actually take that long. If at the start of the shortage we'd known it was going to be 5 years, there probably would have been more of a push. OTOH some of the alternatives have been getting more polished.

> It's almost as if most of the people whining are just upset there isn't a cheap device they can drop into a Kodi box without any effort.

Okay. Yes? That's a valid usecase.

hoschicz · 3 years ago

Can you give some examples of the low-power x86 boxes? As of my last knowledge update :) none of them took off

What a shame. They could have asked for donations but me as an Eastern European, I get it -- usually if we get to the point of needing donations we feel ashamed and humiliated and just close shop.

I hope somebody picks up the flag. Illegal and copyright-protected piracy aside, there were tons of royalty-free and non-copyright-enforced works of art there and it would be a big hit on humanity's culture at large for all that to be lost.

They _really_ should give a dump of all the torrents, magnet links and seed/leech counts...
