More power to you I suppose?

Testing is a 1-way communication style. The most important foundation to a relationship is communication. “Testing” undermines that and is a red flag on date 1. Now, having a conversation and talking about things is something else.

I’m not sure either of those are first date material. 3rd or 4th sure, but 1st is just like “Are you a complete asshole or not, do we share any interests”

The monotony. Life has wonderful moments, and there is joy and love. There is also the constant grind. Buying groceries, cooking meals, doing laundry, cleaning. Things that we never thought of as children, but it takes so much time just to continue living and filling basic needs. That’s when you start to really appreciate the replicators in Star Trek. Sure at first it’s like “I could have takeout anytime”, but then you realize oh my god if I didn’t have to shop, get groceries, cook, put them away, move them home, the whole thing, we’d have so much more time.

Coal. Coal should be over as a fuel, no ifs ands or buts. Arguing for coal right now is like arguing that whale oil is still a viable fuel.

The US has been completely eclipsed by other countries who are now making more or less free electricity from wind and solar. All arguments against them have been debunked to hell, if they were at all true we wouldn’t see China now mostly running of of renewables. While we listened to fossil fuel lobbyists push propaganda they were getting ahead.

Wen Google had to drop literally “don’t be evil”, something I would assume is supposed to be a given, I lost hope for all corporations.

You’re looking for tokens. Prompts are broken down into tokens, which then are used to generate tokens in response. All are represented by large integers. The common metric is tokens/second, and if utilized correctly the GPU should pin at 100% usage while generating tokens. Calculate how many tokens per second it’s generating and how many tokens you’re using, times the wattage per second and you’re good.

Came in thinking this thread would be full of laughs like the guy who almost shit himself. Thread ended up being much sadder.

I was also going to say it was poop related

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the agency said such laws would “disrupt global data flows, increase costs and cybersecurity risks, limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services, and expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship.”

• disrupt global data flows - good
• increase costs and cybersecurity risks - not sure how owning their own data is a risk
• limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services - good, and kind of goes against #2
• expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship - ironic

Same as the golden era for SNL. No you don’t understand when I was a teenager it was way better than now.

Oh god I remember that from the Midwest. Oh you need milk? Better get in the car and drive 15-20 minutes one way to get to the closest (and most expensive) store. By the time you get back you brined at least $5 in gas, not counting the cost of the milk.

I absolutely feel you, but the best way to stick it to them is to ride transit as often as you are able with their shit schedules, and walk when you can. Metrics and ridership are what drives investment. Its stupid because it is actually backwards (investment drives ridership) but in america car is the only thing worth spending billions of dollars on.

For most of Americans this is a thought they honestly can’t grasp. Car culture and car brain are real. The first thing I head every time I see a post with a walkable neighborhood is “where is the parking?”. They truly never have thought about what life would be like without a car

Some people honestly don’t have a sense of humor, and think their one joke is hilarious even when it’s beaten with a dead horse.

First, assume they’re not doing it to be malicious, and talk to them, say it was funny the first few times, it’s grown old and you’re tired of hearing it. It started off funny, but them saying it every time has switched to hurtful. Hopefully that’s enough to get them to stop.

If they don’t, then don’t blow up, but next time they drop it start saying “Yeah, you said that last time we were together too”, deflect the humor with neutrality. Jokes like that only work if people laugh, and if other people aren’t laughing then usually it stops.

Just don’t blow up. Blowing up sounds like a good idea, but will make you come off as “they can’t take a joke”

Good practice. Good luck then! Let us know if you need anything, on matrix I’m @scrubbles:halflings.chat, feel free to DM with questions

That’s how I started too, so very good plan, and good way of thinking ahead. Ssd will be fast so the app will load fast for your users, and images can take a few seconds and no one will mind.

Make sure you have a solid backup plan for both

Basically for a cloud provider s3 storage is just any storage. It’s not a disk that needs to be high availability with programs reading and writing to it with an OS on top, its just blobs of data. Images, video, isos, whatever. Its meant for access that is lower than what a VM would need for an active program.

For matrix this is ideal for its content. An image uploaded will be read a fee dozen times, and then less and less until eventually it isn’t really needed ever unless someone scrolls and scrolls up.

So for hosting, if you store that on a disk you’re saying “this is critical to the operation of the software and must be highly available and optimized for vms reading and writing to it.”. Think like m.2 ssds. Blob storage then analogous to us home labbers to throwing it on a giant nas. Its there, may take a bit to load, but its there.

Then s3 has classes too, where if you need your data even less you can pay even less trading off access times, you can get even better rates if you know you need it extremely infrequently, like audit logs. Tape drives are actually used quite a bit for those opt-in low access tiers because if you think about it the data storage is incredibly dense, but opening up a tape can be minutes or longer to access. No problem if you’re pulling up some archive from 20 years ago.

If you’re running locally on your own system then yes you can use your own. You can use something like MinIO or Garage to self-host an S3 bucket, and then point Matrix to that

Docs would be helpful, I can’t find much of anything, I think you honestly did the best writeup.

Star Trek quotes is hilarious and perfect!
