    I never liked eggplant as a kid, but my Chinese in-laws make some amazing eggplant dishes. My favourite is one where they cut it into inch thick slices, then slice the slice about …

    If I remember correctly, the original was like this too. I always used the sloop and would often beat much larger ships.

    Yeah, it's been awesome! I'm so excited about tool calls and function use, the possibilities are huge. I ran it over 1494 videos that range in length from a few seconds to over 3 h…

    Hey, just want to thank you for this suggestion. Spent this morning swapping to open router and changing all my prompts to use tools instead of XML. Not only is Gemma and Gemini mu…

    I originally limited mine to 10 frames spread evenly throughout the video, but it missed a fair bit of context at the analysis step, and didn't scale with length. So now when a vid…

    Cheers, I'll give it a try. How are those models at returning structured results? When I was writing the prompts for the analysis step and testing with older Claude models, it woul…

    This is great. I wish I had enough ram for a local model. I just spent the last few weeks writing something very similar, but I made it a local Electron app with Whisper, ffmpeg an…

    Can't you do both? Use AI and still learn and strive to be better.

    But saying it's a confidence trick is saying it's a con. That they're trying to sell someone something that doesn't work. Th op is saying it makes then 10x more productive, so how …

    That's not true. I've paid for a one time license for software before and received updates until the next major release.

    Reading your comment made me think of the Roman generals returning to a triumph and someone constantly following them saying "memento mori", reminding them they are not a god. Now,…

    An AMS is useful just so you can have 4 different filaments ready to go at any time. Doesn't need to be for multi material models. I have an A1 with the AMS lite and a Prusa mk3s, …

    I think you'd have to manufacture a culture, with rituals and habits designed to keep people focused so that the meaning of their lives was tied to the end-goal. It would make a go…

    Would you really? when it's the only thing you've ever known you'd probably just accept it as normal.

    Yeah, the app lets you configure which whisper model to use and then downloads it on first load. Whisper blows me away too. Ive only got a 2080 and use the medium model and it's su…

    Maybe developers are using it in a less visible way? In the past 6 months I've used AI for a lot of different things. Some highlights: - Built a windows desktop app that scans loca…

    Unless that's where they want to put their base of operations.

    When my kids were younger I tried to to replace my swearing by saying "sugarplum fairies". It was fairly successful in becoming a natural replacement. However, the other day I kick…

    Same. I use /ask in Aider so I can read what it's planning, ask follow-up questions, get it to change things, then after a few iterations I can type "Make it so" while sitting back…

    Yeah, it's probably too expensive and complicated to send all the frames to an LLM. I only send about 30 images at 576x324 which is around 15000 tokens a video, and comes to about …
