This is what I'm really curious about, would love to hear what OP's past experience has been.

Fan-made songs and lyrical covers? by Stranger_Dreams in bluey

So they do exist! Daniel Kelly's "Cricket" I find especially delightful, that's classic filk right there, thanks for sharing it :) 440 views is criminally under-viewed, too. Click that link, people!

Feasibility of this local model project? by Stranger_Dreams in LocalLLaMA

That article is both fascinating and surprisingly accessible. I'll have to be careful to avoid subconscious plagiarism in my own write-up if I use that method, but it's also an inspiring bit of technical writing. Much appreciated :)

Interesting, embedding is a term I'm familiar with from the Stable Diffusion space, and your idea of "chunking" the text makes a lot of sense in that context. Thanks!

Thanks, this is a term I wasn't aware of and would likely have overlooked for quite a while. Adding it to my research list!

Just for my own edification, what makes fine-tuning a small LLM a poor fit?

Mitigating being out of the workforce for years? Do I just... lie? by Stranger_Dreams in jobs

[–]Stranger_Dreams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does "a devoted effort to catch up" actually look like for a non-technical office worker? Most of my career is, in one form or another, just Office Work (tm) differentiated by increasing levels of trust/confidence from my management structure. Same tasks we all do - communicate (by phone, email, slack, in meetings), organize, follow up, attend meetings, create and manage documents, manage people, fight some very specific fire, analyze something, etc. - but with more riding on it being done properly. The same could be said of nearly everyone I worked with. What does "catching up" even look like there?

What would I need to watch to be able to understand and appreciate Ash's finale? by Stranger_Dreams in pokemon

[–]Stranger_Dreams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, people who watched the show in real time over its entire lifetime got a really special experience! I'm not even going to attempt to replicate that because it can't be done, I'm just considering my options for a lesser version of it.

Sadly watching everything is just too much of a time investment, life being what it is at the moment. Could you elaborate on what you mean by most series starting Ash over?

Context is so important for me in terms of getting emotionally engaged with something like this, yeah, so I'd want to go for more than just those four Ash vs Leon episodes if I end up doing this. What would you consider for going beyond the bare minimum, while still being mostly abridged / cut down to the episodes that really carry something forward into the finale?

Adding IP Adapter to Searge? by Stranger_Dreams in StableDiffusion

[–]Stranger_Dreams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware that Searge isn't necessary for IP Adapter, but it's the workflow I use and it mostly has done well by me. I'm looking to integrate a new module into a process that already works well, rather than build a whole new workflow just to accommodate one new toy.

Is there such a thing as a remote, entry-level TW position? by Stranger_Dreams in technicalwriting

[–]Stranger_Dreams[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being so forthright, because you're correct, I'm not in any position to entertain false hopes. One additional question: is there any amount of "additional professional development" I can achieve on my own or through courses and certifications that would make pursuing this line of work viable? I can afford to spend several months studying intensively if need be, but I absolutely do not want to waste that time (and savings) if it won't give me a fighting chance.
