    It's not the name registrar it's the dns server. You just use a wildcard dns record, and then the webserver uses the host header to determine which subdomain was used (for webserve…

    To my knowledge planes don't use the gps for very much, and AFAIK they use the barometric altimeter for maintaining their flight level. A controllable, plane that can maintain alti…

    My understanding is that would be covered under medical insurance?

    From my understanding many of the best players immediately look down to tell what "generation streetview car" they're using, and seem to know what continents/times they're from.

    From my understanding they're basically an extension of FIDO? You can just use a yubikey unless I'm mistaken?

    This is simplified a bit - It's just a "machine" that maps [set of inputs] -> [set of probabilities of the next output] First you define a list of tokens - lets say 24 letters beca…

    I've always wondered what percentage of "users" are "lurks" who never login, occasionally check a profile or click on a tweet on another website. One of the previous uses of twitte…

    Yeah I'll be interested to see how much you have to change the prompts to get similar styles

    I'm not sure what you mean - the last security update fixed massive 0-day which was an arbitrary code execution caused by the image decoder. CVE-2023-41064 AFAIK every app that use…

    I've been struggling with figuring out a good dataset for fine-tuning. Most of the ones that exist were purpose made for finetuning/training a model already. Does anyone have any t…

    FWIW that's 5 years of feature updates. They still do security fixes for iOS 15 which is the iphone 6S in 2015 so 8 years. The last security update for iOS 12 was 7 months ago too.…

    I haven't checked an email but using the completions api I do get a response using model "gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct". Interestingly the completions api is deprecated though? Are they …

    Eh I had some issues with microsoft's "guidance", eventually got it working with an older version. They haven't updated it in a month too. lmql might be a decent alternative. Any f…

    I've already had some success with Llava although existing image classifiers are still going to outperform it.

    From my experience "single prompt classification" isn't as simple as "type in sentence and it works" in practice. But you can use some methods to massively improve it's consistency…

    Yes, I wasn't sure if parent was suggesting they switch to django, or simply "using what facebook learned" - I didn't want to imply that there's no way Mastodon devs couldn't use C…

    Comment #37512120

    Just to clarify - are you wanting the LLM itself to identify what a "anomalous latency" would be based on the data itself? If so then I don't think this will help you at all until …

    (I use django in production myself, nothing against it) It's probably worth noting Meta made their own JIT'd version of CPython just for Instagram/Threads. Maybe mastodon devs can …

    For sure, and yeah it wouldn't be terrible you're right. You'd just need the api servers + a load balancer. My thing is that dynamically doing that is still a lot compared to just …

    What's the best way to use LLama2-70b without existing infrastructure for orchestrating it?

    You (currently) need a GPU to run any of the useful models. I haven't really seen a business use-case that runs it on the user's computer, but given the hardware requirements it wo…
