I build backends, apps and sometimes break them, practice martial arts and enjoy video games. I believe I have seen the whole Internet once, maybe twice.
@webology as I learned this week sometimes it is a network cable :) had one connecting our living room AccessPoint randomly die leading to 10-15s connection drops every few hours.
Cable tester shows it as working till you shake it a bit :/
@programmylife I think it’s one of the better implementations, but especially for a dev tool I don’t see why you cannot simply run your own LLM for example.
I’m starting with macOS Terminal. Not the nicest, but as all work happens within tmux anyway its limitations are acceptable.
I’ll keep the posts going if I evaluate others. Kitty and alacritty have been recommended multiple times to me, so maybe there’s something to them :)
@webology@programmylife I’m with you on opt-in and owning the key. I’d have loved to see support for running LLMs locally, especially with developer centric tooling.
But the existence of a feature like this might (and has been in one instance) already be a problem in highly regulated environments (fin-tech, healthcare,…).
Personally I’m not anti-AI or no-AI, but I’m 100% anti-OpenAI (and corporations behaving like OpenAI).
To clarify, with “kid friendly” do you mean accessibility for a kid to understand the game / controls or a recommendation if a game is appropriate for certain age groups?
@frank I agree that they are often a bit conservative.
Personally I think I’d have a hard time making a good recommendation, especially for an international audience.
Would a few screenshots, one or two quotes and a summary be helpful? „These are the outfits of the main protagonist (if they show some skin), a character sometimes uses the F word and there’s a demon in the game“
@carlton I really like the Wikipedia table. My usual pitch is
„Per one 9 after the comma you’ll add 10x infrastructure cost and at least one engineer and potentially QA and ops. Otherwise your downtime will most likely be application and not infrastructure related“
This usually ends the conversation with zero 9s after the comma.
The new iPads look like a pretty good upgrade, especially the display. But we are five or six years in and Apple still refuses to fix the software side to make them actually useful but for some niche application :/
If they’d announce macOS support at WWDC you could count the minutes between the announcement and me ordering one with the new keyboard case…
I have to give simone a test run some day. It seems to be the ultimate “this video should have been a blog post” tool :D https://github.com/rajtilakjee/simone
If you call update_or_create where the instance already exists and the defaults passed in are already the values on the instance, do you ever want it to actually re-save the instance?
I'm running into the case where I'd prefer it to not update the instance if it doesn't need to. I'm guessing I'm overlooking some race condition problem though.
@CodenameTim I’m thinking of persisting a value that’s constantly being updated and you want to know when the last write was, even if nothing changed. New values (keys) might come in at any time.
(I had something similar for an industrial control system I worked on. The updated field was one of the heartbeats)
@CodenameTim It’s a fair argument, but it feels inconsistent with how updates and creates outside of update_or_create behave.
You could make the argument that for consistency it might make sense to drop auto=now for all writes - you can simply pass it the same way as you’d have to do in your example.
I finally figured out why I don’t like the last Doom games. It’s not necessarily the lack of ammo but the glory kills slowing down gameplay. That took me a while to realize… #games#gaming
@carlton I think edited forms of this statement circulated for decades in various contexts, maybe a different wording might help to convey the message :)
(Also I was told by @chanakya that my last post draft reads rather pissed off / aggressive in its message - I might not be the best advisor :D)
