- Comment on Have you tried LocalGPT PrivateGPT or other similar alternatives to ChatGPT? 4 months ago:
There’s a local llama subreddit with a lot of good information and 4chan’s /g/ board will usually have a good thread with a ton of helpful links in the first post. You can run some good models on a decent home but training and fine tuning will likely require renting out some cloud gpus.
- Comment on ChatGPT generates fake data set to support scientific hypothesis 5 months ago:
I too can produce vaguely plausible fake data sets. Why’s everyone get so worried when some software can do it?
- Comment on Is there something better than SQL? 7 months ago:
I’m absolutely biased as a data engineer who loves SQL, but there are some good reasons why SQL has been the de facto standard for interacting with databases since the 80s.
One of its draws is that it’s easy to understand. I can show a stakeholder that I’m selecting “sum(sale_amount) from transactions where date=yesterday” and they understand it. Many analysts are even able to write complicated queries when they don’t know anything else about programming.
Since it’s declarative, you rarely have to think about all the underlying fuckery that lets you query something like terabytes of data in redshift in minutes.
Debugging is often pretty nice too. I can take some query that didn’t do what it was supposed to and run it over and over in a console until the output is right.
- Comment on Am I building a fire hazard? 7 months ago:
You don’t want to pull cold air in but a small fan to circulate the air in the enclosure gives you more even temps from top to bottom and can improve print quality. I installed a nevermore filter a while back to filter the filament fumes and was surprised to see my prints improve too.
- Comment on Why does salty water taste so bad when salt food tastes so good? 7 months ago:
There are 2 different physical sensations for tasting salt. One for low salt and one for high. This is believed to help regulate salt intake.
