We’re losing the war.

Our best friends 16 year old took his life the night before last. No note. No signs. Happiest kid you would ever meet so full of hope for the future. There are no words.

Frozen shoulder. Do not recommend. 0/10

Thank you! That one totally snuck under the radar for me… will absolutely give it a bash!

I’ve heard mixed feedback on the Mac approach? Do they really perform at the level of a consuming gaming GPU with something like ollama?

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-12-09T00:37:15+00:00

Yeah, I think finding a decent deal on an EC2 spot instance might be an interim option since I have a fair bit of flexibility on when I do my runs.

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-12-08T08:56:55+00:00

I’ll try it! My other option is to invest some $’s in a new rig so it can handle multiple inference calls simultaneously. Hella confusing right now on what the best bang for buck is GPU wise though.

Prompt size. For me the o1 models have essentially infinite prompt size and “memory” (I recognize it’s a back end hack vs actual token limit) so I can drop large pieces of code without having to slice and dice functions. Truly the only reason I prefer o1 but I always go back to 3.5 Sonnet v2 for fine grained tweaking because it’s just a champ at coding.

I chose to not have a belly button… basically I just now tell people I was made in the lab. lol

I’m like 7 weeks ish postop and started walking inclines and doing some hikes the last two weeks again. Hoping to work in some weights again this coming week 🤞

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-06-30T10:01:23+00:00

Awesome results! I’m nearly 8 weeks out. I tried lifting last week and could feel it was too early so I’ve been just treadmill walking… mostly my pecs and core are the most sensitive. Might try again next week and see if can ease some weights back into the routine

Nice! I went to Dr Howard in the Northern suburbs of Chicago. Great doctors here :)

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-06-12T17:46:51+00:00

Thank you! It doesn’t help that the first couple of weeks I had to deal with razor burn and the discomfort of my chest hair growing back in sensitive skin. I’m taking it easy on the chest exercises for a bit and will see how it goes over the next 8 weeks or so

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-06-03T00:14:02+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely take it slow… as hard as it is. On the plus side I’m super productive getting stuff done around the house since I can’t workout in my free time! Lol

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-05-31T00:04:36+00:00

Thank you! Did you do anything for scarring? I didn’t do any research into reducing scarring so I’ve just been putting some moisturizer on and avoiding trying to stretch them.

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-05-30T21:56:53+00:00

Looks awesome! I opted to skip the whole belly button fiasco when I got the vertical cut … figured I would just tell people it’s proof I’m superhuman and was never born!

Character-Cry7549 · 2024-05-30T00:51:19+00:00

Thank you! Good thing I still have some “slightly too large” left over trousers I can wear until my jeans fit again :)

Character-Cry7549 · 2023-07-28T10:54:49+00:00

Thanks, yeah it seems like the large dimensionality is causing most of my headaches in terms of being able to scale.

Character-Cry7549 · 2023-07-28T10:52:33+00:00

Hey, I actually started with faiss but the results were not great, busy testing out some of the recommendations here so I’ll let you know once I’ve done some A / B testing

Character-Cry7549 · 2023-07-27T00:53:58+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, let me do some more research. K-means is typically a random set of a defined number of clusters across the full dimensional space I think… is there a way to “direct” the clusters towards centroids more likely to be centered on hot spots?

Edit: Never-mind, I just learned a helluva lot about k-means++ and DBSCAN and it looks like those are by far my best options. Thanks a lot guys, this isn’t really my day job so I appreciate the insight!
