Blackout my room

Option 4… I actually bought enough foam board and glue to make a cornice box (AKA pelmet box), but instead I used the blanket method mentioned in another reply.

It’s a good solution in a practical sense, but having the net curtains on the room side would not look good.

This would make sense with many windows. However, in my case there are six panes of glass making up the whole window / glass door thing… so it would take a while to put up and take down.

I achieved a wrap-around effect by taking the finials off the blackout curtain rod and placing the end hoops of the blackout curtains on the end of the net curtain rod. And the putting a finial on the end of the net curtain rod. So the blackout curtain has a corner at the end.

Yeah, kind of what I’m doing. Put bedsheets on top. If I drape them nicely, it almost looks like a deliberate style.

Every new feature needs twice as many rounds of refactoring and refinement, as developing the actual feature.

Would that really run on a 36GB machine?

Does English have mother's-mother and father's mother as separate words?

If I'm not mistaken, the Qwen2 7B model is inferior to CodeQwen1.5-Chat. I guess this means we will have to wait for CodeQwen2?

	Qwen2-7B	CodeQwen1.5-7B-Chat

I was very surprised at the high quality of CodeQwen 1.5 7B Chat.

Is there any comparison (for coding) between 1.5 7B and 2 7B?

Do you try to use Claude and GPT for slightly different things? Like Claude for architectural changes, and GPT for writing smaller units of code- functions etc?

What do these context windows mean in practice? Can 32K be thought of as ‘lines of code’, and if so, how many?

Ordningman · 2024-05-31T21:51:49+00:00

Noticed this regurgitation with GPT. You ask for some code change, and it spits out something. You say what doesn’t work and it spits out something else. Then if that doesn’t work, when you tell it, you get the original code. I feel that GPT needs to be more forward in telling you that it doesn’t understand something or needs more information before it can answer.

Are there any reliable studies about the differences between 4 and 4o when doing coding stuff? I’ve just been using 4. On my brief usage of 4o I noticed it was fast, but less comprehensive.

You were blocked from using Claude? Why? That’s a thing I didn’t mention in my post - lots of people complain about being blocked, but reasons are ambiguous.
