It is somewhat limited vs a RTX 4090 [1]

We rent a 4090 for about EUR300/month on vast.ai, for reference.

Is vast.ai reliable for production inference where downtime is important?

Does anyone know vscode extension that can use OpenAI API to perform code completions like Copilot?

There are several ChatGPT-like UIs that you can self host and pay only for API and not for ChatGPT plus. For example, I'm using https://github.com/Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web. It would be nice to use Copilot in the same way.

You can modify this one to do that - or write your own using the same approach:

Isn't this how copilot 'just' works, except with comments? What's the advantage over copilot?

ntoshev · 2 years ago

Copilot doesn't continuously update your code when you make changes.

Because those types of people want power, and even when you're the richest guy in the world, there are things you can't do unless you're head of a country.

Musk is an engineer. Engineers want impact, not power.

To save others the hassle

Zsync improves on rsync by

supports handling of some compressed formats. target can be http. offload more work to the client

ntoshev · 4 years ago

My reading is the server with zsync can be any http server, client is zsync. Rsync on the other hand needs to use rsync on the server, and it scales badly because it does most work on the server.

From a security perspective, keep in mind the errors like "access denied" or "password invalid" are typically bad not good when compared to more generic "table does not exist" or "failed logon attempt".

These errors tell you something positive about the existence of something you don't have the rights to know about and that is a defect in my opinion.

I not saying good error messages are not valuable or that Oracle's are fine, but the answer should never be that error messages tell you information about something you don't have permission to know about.

Came here to find the thread discussing this. You stated what I'd think is the conventional wisdom and I expected this to be the top thread.

However, this thinking comes at the cost of UX (or Developer eXperience). Much more mundane instance of the same thinking is hiding elements of the UI you are not allowed to use. This often gets me thinking - is there a way to do this that I'm not allowed to see, or is it just that I can't find the function in the UI?

A solution for the DX issue is logging the real error somewhere only accessible for an admin. Has this been implemeted anywhere in the wild? For UIs, just be honest and show the menu items disabled.
