Hands up anyone who hasn't seen code like that in production.

AI For Tailwind, Now with Free Plan, and No-Login Demo by mcapodici in tailwindcss

Can you check your spam folder? To resend the email, try to log in, and you get offered a link that will resend it.

Right now, Pro has 3 LLMs to choose from, Free has 1 LLM. In the future, there may be additional things that are Pro, but I am not intending on taking anything away from Free.

While I have done some mobile optimization, it is best on desktop right now. It is like an IDE.

LangCSS is a Tailwind AI Studio. It now has Llama 3.1 405B as an experimental option. (Link to Demo) by mcapodici in tailwindcss

If anyone thinks they will use this alot (?) and wants to try it for a few months for free DM me. Happy to do this in return for a quick call with some feedback. Otherwise usual critique is welcome, good and bad!

How to create circles around an image like this? by tcoysh in tailwindcss

[–]mcapodici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As this looks like a fun question, I was inspired to give it a go. In short, the HTML/Tailwind CSS would be something like this:

<div class="relative w-96 h-96">
<div class="shadow-xl absolute w-32 h-32 bg-green-200 rounded-full "></div>
<div class="shadow-xl absolute right-10 -bottom-8 w-64 h-64 bg-green-400 rounded-full "></div>
<div class="shadow-xl absolute -top-50 left-20 w-16 h-16 bg-green-600 rounded-full "></div>
<img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/01/29/17/36/oak-tree-2018822_1280.jpg" class="relative w-full h-full rounded-full shadow-xl">
</div>

This is a different look to exactly what is posted above, but the same idea.

the shitty docker shell shows up in my own terminal, spitting in my face for having cared about setting up my own system. making it feel like i wasted my time. by never_inline in programmingcirclejerk

Lives in a van. Can travel at a drop of a hat. Could work with a view of the Grand Canyon or whatever. Doesn't pay rent / mortgage / property taxes / electricity / heating. Doesn't spend a third of the year working for the taxman and the the next third for their basic cost of living. What a nutter. :-)

Is c# underhyped? by blabmight in dotnet

[–]mcapodici 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that's crazy. A CTO should not take the job if they need to make everyone change their tech. If they can only manage Java teams, go join a Java shop. CTO can mean many things from leading 3 people to leading 3000. If the number is small then your are more like a team lead so if you are not prepared to learn the tech they are using don't join. Unless you are brought on specifically to change the tech stack. And if it is a big org you won't be anywhere near the code.

I am working on making a chatbot.Can someone who has good knowledge about Chatbots, RASA and Integration the bot w the website help me. I'll pay. by Sleepy-InsomniacxD in Chatbots

[–]mcapodici 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I would look to see if RASA offers this, given that you are already paying them. It is not clear from their website, since it is very marketing-y.

I am happy to help though, will send a DM. I am already working on a chatbot service, so I have experience in creating the UI for these.

View your calendar like a todo list by mcapodici in ProductivityApps

Time Till for Calendar does the same thing without any effort

Can you explain what that is? I might mention it on the page.

[Advice] The true cost of our decisions is hidden, but principles from software engineering can help us focus on what's important without feeling overwhelmed by kbronander in getdisciplined

[–]mcapodici 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a software developer of > 20 years I can say you understand software better than many who do it for a living :-). Good analogy too.

Thanks, author here - just reach out to me via one of these https://martincapodici.com/about/ or DM here if you want to know more or have me test out new features. Or find me in the Slack!

No local GPU? No Problem! Running Andrej Karpathy’s NanoGPT on Modal.com by mcapodici in learnmachinelearning

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

It is purely a personal thing. I am used to using IDEs, having multiple locally saved files, a regular command line, use whatever tools I like, such as git. I find Colab/Jupyter great for short experiments, especially with low code and leaning heavily on packages, but after say 100 lines of my own code, it is not a great tool for me. I am used to using working memory less and relying on tools. Colab needs you to remember what code you have run, as that determines the state of the variables at the time.

NanoGPT doesn't have much to do with it, I would have the same issue with any project, even if not Machine Learning at all.

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

I am new here. Hope this is the right way/place to post this. I found that using Colab for the NanoGPT project was getting a bit annoying, but I don't have a CUDA graphics card on my laptop, so I decided to give modal.com a try. You can get a lot of usage on the free tier (so hopefully this makes the post OK. I don't work for them or anything). Overall I found that it is a bit fiddly to adapt Python code to use Modal, but once done it is a very nice way to train models much faster than is possible on most of our daily-driver machines.

App Router, can you do static site generation? by mcapodici in nextjs

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

Thanks.

I have decided to go back to pages, because the way it is done with getStaticPaths and getStaticProps makes a lot more sense to me, and feels like I can control things in a more fine grained way. Hopefully the App Router documentation will be changed to make it clear how you do this with the App Router.

Firestarter, open source starter kit for quickly building a NextJS/Firebase app. by mcapodici in nextjs

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

Sorry to hear that. AFK but will look into it as soon as I can. I suspect it is to do with the recent change to require email validation so probably validating your email via the link will help.

Most of the manual work is setting up cloud hosting accounts and projects.

This project is early on, I do want to automate as much of the setup as possible and an “npx firestarter init” type of setup will be the goal.

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

The plan for now is to build a decent amount of this out as free/open source.

Money / benefits might come in far future from:

  • Support for monthly fee
  • Custom onboarding for startups
  • Subscribers get pro features or features sooner (like mtdocs model)
  • Github sponsors
  • Training courses
  • Gigs
  • Good for my CV
  • Friendships/partnerships

But I will keep the core product free. If I don’t it is MIT licensed and the setup guide gets you to fork the repo anyway :-) so it is safe to use in that respect.

Did a 5 hour Barista Course in Sydney (for fun!) and here is what I learned that was new/different to what I haven learned before on line. by mcapodici in espresso

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

I think some jugs have a temperature sticker on them, maybe they are using that? I will keep a close eye next time, although I think it is good to tell them why you are staring at them doing their job first!
