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 3/4 of the way through and stuff it with a seasoned por

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 hours. Total duration 260 hours and a total size of

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 much cheaper, the output tokens from the tool call are much le

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 video is loaded the app extracts a bunch of frames for the

Very interesting. Thank you!

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 would have trouble structuring the XML consistently. Sonnet

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 and I added semantic search and embeddings for chatting with t

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 is that a con?

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, instead of humility it would just be seen as a ch

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, and manually changing materials is a chore.

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 good story :)

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 surprisingly good and relatively fast.

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 local folders for videos and automatically transcribes the

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 kicked my toe really badly and instinctively yelled &q

This is great. Can see you put a lot of work into it. I like it.

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 to sip on my Earl Grey.

He's talking about provenance. The NFT just proves who the actual owner is, so when people were right-click downloading and saying "I own this now" you can very easily prove that they don't actually own it, the holder of

I think they just meant it hit an inflection point. Some people were copying pasting to ChatGPT and saying it was crap and others were using agents that could see the context of the code and worked much, much better. It's the workflow

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 $0.045 per video. First I save one frame every second

Thanks! I have been thinking about opening it up, but not sure, as I've never done any open source stuff and don't know how useful others would find it - there's some clunky bits! I also have the whole Aider/Claude promp

Ive almost finished the first version of a desktop video library app I've been writing for myself. I had the idea last year, but the cost of sending images to an LLM made it too expensive (to run over about 1500 videos), but now it&#x2

It's not one event that destroys a republic, but a series of little ones that slowly erode the norms, until all of sudden there's someone willing to cross the Rubicon. You've got 44 months of erosion to go.

Yeah, I think we should try to separate his business acumen from his nut-case personality. He can be a successful businessman AND a fucking prick.

Use /context <prompt> to have aider automatically add the files based on the prompt. It's been working well for me.
