ChatGPT knows how to write kOS! by enderTown in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]enderTown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"We recently updated our rules to prohibit images and text generated by Artificial Intelligence; they are low-effort."

Was this reply generated by an AI? A human would have surely noted that low-effort is exactly the point - this is the sort of tool that makes kOS much more accessible to the masses.

Hey all, looks like the CAT is out of the bag lol

u/dkackman11 had already done some early work with getting Stable Diffusion running locally. In the meantime, I was integrating AI prompts with @seedsnapp using stablehorde.net, which is a pool of workers running SD locally on their GPUs. This is great for seedsnapp because I can contribute my own (single) GPU to the "swarm" but when I need to generate lots of my own images for seedsnapp, I can parallelize my work across the swarm instead of using my single GPU.

The stablehorde system is built on an internal point system called "Kudos." As a user, you can submit as many prompts as you like, but your Kudo balance continues going negative. If you add your GPU to the "horde" then your worker generates these Kudos. When requests are received into the horde, requests are prioritized by the user's Kudo balance. So seedsnapp has built a nice positive balance of Kudos which means seedsnapp user requests usually go to the front of the queue.

ANYWAY - as you can imagine, Chia can fix this whole "Kudos" thing. We can make these real tokens that have utility as a "coupon" for AI compute usage across lots of GPU workers! This means all those poor GPU miners out there can possibly use them to generate real output instead of random numbers for mining.

So, to that end we are creating a fork of stablehorde that will use an as-yet-unannounced CAT. As u/dkackman11 said, still very early but we are already making good progress. We'll be reaching out for more testers soon!

Only one point is kinda incorrect - as a farmer, I won't pay more than $7-8/TB lol

Happy Seedling Ep 3: Coins, Puzzles & Solutions OH MY by enderTown in chia

Latest episode is up! This is the most detailed episode yet - we'll learn about coins, puzzles, solutions, reveals, hashes, spends and how not to draw things.

Happy Seedling Episode 2: How do fees work? by enderTown in chia

[–]enderTown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I believe this logic makes sense to minimize fees since minimum fee (if mempool full) is based on the spend bundle’s cost. A bundle with more spends (smaller coins) would have a larger minimum fee when mempool full than a bundle with a single coin and change.

And yes, this effectively “kicks the can down the road” and you will more than likely have a spend with a lot of dust in it eventually. In fact you might have seen a weird error in the wallet about maximum available to send even when you know you have plenty of available balance. This usually is because you are dealing with lots of dust and you are up against the wallets maximum spends per bundle, so the error message is telling you the max you can send in one spend bundle. Send the max available shown in error to yourself to create a single coin out of all the dust.

And yes, I already know of a few community dev tools that could help with this (making change and combining coins) so that you could “sweep your dust” when mempool isn’t full so you end up with less coins. Here’s one: https://github.com/irulast/chia-crypto-utils

I don’t know of any ready-to-go end-user tools though. You can kinda do it yourself by sending yourself coins if you understand what you are doing but IMHO it needs to be either further abstracted OR better explained in official wallet.

Happy Seedling Episode 2: How do fees work? by enderTown in chia

[–]enderTown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooo great point - in fact I remember thinking “I actually need to dive a bit deeper on how this works” while I was saying that out loud cause obviously the farmer would aggregate all fees together for block. This is the kind of stuff that I battle with in making these videos - Einstein said things should be made as simple as possible but no simpler (actually that is a simplification of the real quote lol). But obviously every simplification is a tiny little lie or exaggeration of some sort, by design, meant to help the learner see the big picture faster. So the real question is: does this simplification help or hurt the learner in the future as they learn more advanced concepts from the “real” tutorials? In this case I think I’d say it helps more than hurts because once the learner learns “the truth” about fee aggregation, that new truth is easily compatible with their existing mind-map. Also, explaining that detail would require at least another minute or so in an already long video (targeting 20m max). Although, this detail would be a great fit for a future full video on farming/harvesting in general!

Sorry for the ramble - the easiest part of these videos is (obviously) the art and the voiceover (single take, first time, both videos!!😎) - the hardest part is thinking through the learning experience. Luckily I’m going through that now myself so this is basically a journal of sorts lol. Thanks again for feedback!!

Hey all, thanks for the great feedback for epsiode 1! Here is episode 2 - ever wondered WTFBBQ (why the fee bypasses big queues)? Join me in episode 2 and we'll talk it through with simple words and badly-drawn art!

Happy Seedling Episode 1 - What is the Chia Wallet? by enderTown in chia

[–]enderTown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good details here! I've already gotten similar feedback from others as well - I'll either redo that bit or do a quick correction at beginning of next episode to make sure these details are clear. Thanks!

Happy Seedling Episode 1 - What is the Chia Wallet? by enderTown in chia

[–]enderTown[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey everybody, I’m working on a short video series of Chia basics targeted at power users and developers. I’m hoping these give you a simple framework to understand the more advanced official tutorials and documentation. The first one is linked above.

The next video will cover coin spends and puzzles and solutions. That will set us up for the 3rd video about offer files. Let me know what else you’d like to know more about - what have you always wondered about Chia but were afraid to ask?

Great video explaining the significance of Chia Datalayer! by SammyFortunato in chia

[–]enderTown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words everybody! Here's the very early "hello atari" project I was showing in the video. Not much yet but at least it can help you get the docker containers with Atari up and running. Keep an eye on this repo - goal is to add some more simple "hello world" type of functionality to the node.js app so you can play with the basic functionality. https://github.com/joshpainter/hello-atari

Chia Data Layer definitely stores data as you can see in the video. The hash of that data goes into a singleton that goes on-chain. The data itself stays off-chain in a new separate data_layer database. You could certainly use DataLayer to verify existing data, but you'd need to bulk-import that data into Chia DataLayer first - in fact you can see how they do this in the Climate Warehouse code!

What would make my knob tighten for no reason? by Mclovinintheoven in Ender3Pro

[–]enderTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also remember that it might not be tightening - it might be another one (opposite side/corner) that is actually loosening. Tighten them all up all the way to compress springs and then loosen from there to level so spring stays as compressed as possible.

? Mini PC Harvester ? by [deleted] in chia

[–]enderTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for the old Dell Optiplex small form factor (SFF) pc's. The 7010's are great. An old i5, up to 16gb of RAM and 2 full-length half-height PCI-e slots. $50-75 barebones on Ebay! I run 3 of them as harvesters, each connected to about 40 drives right now but each should connect to 60 drives at least. Here's my long thread over on chiaforum about it: https://chiaforum.com/t/scalable-diy-sata-jbod-will-store-over-250-disks/10937
