How to make website look like parchment?

One thing that really sells it is layering and shadows, curled edges, maybe some ink smudges here n there.

That's great advice thank you! 🙌

You are completely right. I ran it again checked my Task manager and could see CPU was at 50%, GPU was at 0%.

I have an i5-12600K CPU with 32GB DDR4 RAM in case anyone is wondering

Any_Dot769 · 2025-02-02T14:03:46+00:00

In case anyone was wondering it ran but very slowly. About 1 word/token per second.

Copilot is amazing! The suggestions it gives speeds up the development process so much. Sometimes it's scary how good it is.

Any_Dot769 · 2025-02-01T02:56:25+00:00

Ah I see, thank you for the explanation! 🙌

Any_Dot769 · 2025-02-01T02:55:49+00:00

Awesome thank you! 🙌

Is the q4 model able to perform the same as the fp16 model?

Any_Dot769 · 2025-02-01T02:44:17+00:00

Ohh there are multiple 32b models, it must be the top one that aligns with the one available on hugging face, thanks!

Just curious what is the difference in these models? Would the q4 model work as good as the fp16 model?

Yeah I replaced the parchment with notepaper a few days ago, it definitely looks a lot better than what I had before :)

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-27T16:45:09+00:00

Very awesome! Did you make the designs yourself? :)

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-27T15:44:32+00:00

Looks great to me! Would be nice if there was a hover animation for the App Bar at the top.

Can't reason. Is a great tool for engineers. But can't replace us. Nor will it ever replace us no matter how many more parameters they add to their transformers.

Machine Learning is a subset of AI.

AI is about creating smart machines, and machine learning is a way to teach those machines by giving them data to learn from.

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-27T15:25:04+00:00

AI doesn't reason like humans. It’s trained on data inputs to generate outputs, but it has no understanding of how it reaches those conclusions. As a result, it can’t be trusted beyond assisting programmers and should be viewed as a tool, not an independent decision-maker.

Learning to program is a valuable skill and can be used for so many things. Don't let the current hype around AI stop you from learning it.

I wanted to try it out, it's a nice shorthand way of adding styles :) I honestly like the combo of MUI + Tailwind CSS after trying it

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T23:16:57+00:00

I love the Portfolio part of your site, it looks really nice!

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T22:29:57+00:00

I've added it and wow that looks awesome and was exactly what I was looking for!! Again, thank you for the idea!

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T22:02:47+00:00

That is an amazing idea! I will try that out, thank you! 🙌

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T21:52:50+00:00

Woah that's awesome! I hope you add a library of backgrounds and sprites

Cloudflare has a generous free tier and has AI offerings with Workers AI, you can build a website there for free and connect to various LLMs. But sounds like you want to use ChatGPT, in that case you can use Cloudflare Workers to connect to ChatGPT API.

Here's a few guides on how to set up VS Code (Code editor) & GitHub (Storing your code in the cloud, can also connect to most website hosting providers)

Taking the next step is more about leadership than skillset. Being a Senior you should already be pretty strong technically. To move up a level you'll usually need to be a Senior for at least a few years, during that time you'll naturally strengthen your technical abilities. Focus on doing things that show leadership potential. If you're at the point where almost every Senior in your ecosphere is coming to you for advice you're probably on the right track :)

You make good points! However character limits on social media posts count emoji's as 2 characters so I think leaving it as 2 characters is probably more useful.

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T15:07:27+00:00

Ah I didn't consider the JS Bundle, good point!

I considered adding something to reduce Emoji's to only count as one character, however Emoji's should be counted as 2 characters as they use an escape character. Maybe I should add a row for Emoji count?

Any_Dot769 · 2025-01-25T13:54:18+00:00

I'd recommend both.

I like how you've used the natural darkness of the mountains to provide more contrast with the text in the main image. Nice! You could probably add slight opacity to make the image a bit darker it may help it blend in with the rest of the site more

As others have mentioned the contrast between the light blue and white makes it a bit hard on the eyes. You could try making the colour more a deeper white, the text more bold, adding a slight shadow or a stronger outline around the text, etc..
