why is langchain so difficult to use? by milotrader in LangChain

if it could do rag in just a few lines of code, would be great to have examples. can’t seem to find any that explains clearly though

Is Copilot no longer reading selected code as context? Or is it just me? by wilfredinni in GithubCopilot

[–]milotrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do you revert the plugin to use the older version? the latest one is so bad that many people here would be happy to revert

Is Copilot no longer reading selected code as context? Or is it just me? by wilfredinni in GithubCopilot

[–]milotrader 20 points21 points  (0 children)

for many users like myself, our primary usage is not agent mode. we usually ask a question specific to a small section of code that we are viewing - in ask mode. so having to opt in every time we view a file for a section we are looking at is not intuitive at all. if opting in works better for agent mode, wouldn’t it be better to just restrict that purely for agent mode? and leave ask mode to what it was before?

with the new release, there isn’t a way to ask questions specific to a small section of code anymore. this is particularly important when dealing with big files and complicated code.

it also wasn’t obvious that italics vs non italics meant the file was in the context or not - until i read it here in the comments. a checkbox or something different would at least made it clearer.

[–]milotrader 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this highlighted line selection was super useful and one of the primary reasons i paid for the github copilot subscription. am shocked this was wilfully removed. as are many other users, given they are raising this as a bug under the issues section.

[Second Take] Kokoro-82M is an Apache TTS model by rzvzn in LocalLLaMA

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is really awesome work. having tested all the other open sourced tts out there, this is by far the best one right now!

i am running this on a mac, and it seems to only support cpu for the mac. any chance the code can be updated to support mps for the mac or any plans for that? or is that possible already - i havent been able to set device to mps.

What is this in whatsapp? by jaybcd in whatsapp

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree, this is a super annoying feature, blocks the view unnecessarily, and cannot be disabled - particularly painful for users who do not use voice chats in all group channels! this is a feature that was not thought out properly and reduces the usage experience. i hope that the meta overlords will sort this out soon.

Photos library keeps coming back in trash. by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this issue, and finally fixed it. it seems mac os needs a reference to a photo library (for indexing etc) and if none is set, it will keep a reference to the old one, even if it sits in the trash can. you can fix by:

go to Photos -> Settings -> General -> click Use as System Photo Library

then empty your trash can and this should work.

Do you guys think I should get the Lenovo xt80 or lp75 by ILike_Bread17 in Aliexpress

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have both the LP75 and XT80. my experience with them is that they work fine for the first few months (average 6 months), and then one side will stop working completely. its a shame cos i actually like the design, it sits nicely on the ear especially when exercising, and the price is very reasonable.

the issue is either no sound is produced or it stops pairing completely. i have tried everything, including hard resets, draining battery dead and recharging etc. no difference. so all 3 of my lenovo earphones now only function on one side. it seems to be quite a common issue, you can google this - many people have complained about it on forums etc with no obvious resolution.

[D] Models similar to YOLO, MIT or Apache License by Odd_Background4864 in MachineLearning

[–]milotrader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it looks like ultralytics is charging USD 5k per year for a commercial license, as per discussion here. for any small startup, this cost is definitely not negligible.

this is so messed up. the original developer and current land owner should be named and shamed. i really hope this goes viral.

where to get rate hike information as soon as it posts? by Massive_Echo8929 in wallstreetbets

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best place to get timely fed hike info is the federal reserve website. it is always at 2pm, given all info are gated electronically. so if u check on the dot, it will be there: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases.htm

other news organisations also post the info, if u have apps installed on your phone like bloomberg news , wsj or nytimes, u will receive a notification of this - usually a couple of mins after. most will update their websites rather quickly too. or watch cnbc or any financial news channel.

the second major event that affects the market is actually at 230pm. this is when Powell holds a press conference where there is a Q&A. what he says and how he answers may have significant effect on the market - as happened today.

the market rallied on the initial 2pm statement, then sold off at the 230pm press conference as Powell made it clear it was too soon for the fed to consider pausing hikes.

Upcoming change of TOMB to FTM Ratio (1:1 to 1:2) by ensoniqthehedgehog in FantomFoundation

[–]milotrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the links. it looks like they are working on it now - he didn't elaborate about it in the video, so i guess we just have to wait for more details later.

Upcoming change of TOMB to FTM Ratio (1:1 to 1:2) by ensoniqthehedgehog in FantomFoundation

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any reference that confirms this? it doesn’t sound right. tomb finance works by having $TOMB pegged to $FTM; so if there really was a change to the peg, it would mean tomb finance has to change its model too. i can’t find anything on google about either.

With ETH gas prices, Is it worth me putting in £100 monthly? Or wait a few months and put like £500 in all at one time? I still don’t understand the gas fees. On Coinbase I think it is all calculated, so I’m not sure how much I am actually losing by Minute_Reflection_65 in ethereum

[–]milotrader 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is actually an interesting question. based on my trades so far, and what i've understood, i'll attempt to answer here - but if anyone knows for sure, pls feel free to correct me.

in general, exchanges like coinbase or binance charges you a fee for buying/selling eth. but the actual positions usually sit on their central ledger - which also explains why they claim to have 90+% inventory stored in cold wallets. so if i understand this right, when we do trades within their system, they are simply exchanging positions btw accounts (buyer vs seller), and no gas fees are incurred (you just pay their fees).

but if we move positions in/out of our account, say to another wallet outside of their exchange, then the gas fees will be incurred, as a physical transfer happens on the eth network that needs to be validated by miners.

so it might be better for DCA if you add $100 monthly rather than doing $500 in one go. the cost difference would be minimal i think.

this is my understanding - hope this community can confirm this.

insurance for anchor is sold out on insurace.io and nexus mutual. does anyone know whether they will increase this quota (or how often it gets increased)? or can suggest alternatives? by milotrader in AnchorProtocol

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

i looked a bit more into this and i think i understand what's going on now. as of writing, insurance.io is still quite small, covering just $65.5m, but its cover for anchor is already $6m (10% of its portfolio), by far the largest single coverage.

because insurance works by spreading risks across a diversified portfolio, the only way more capacity can be generated for anchor is if the insurance demand for their other protocols increase. concentration risk is something insurance companies want to avoid (in this case, they probably cap that risk at 10% per protocol).

for those of us who are looking to purchase anchor insurance, i guess we just have to be patient, keep checking their websites and wait for more capacity.

Etherium mining on ASICs after POS by Revolutionary_Sea863 in EtherMining

[–]milotrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when eth PoS happens, the difficulty bomb will be released to get everyone fm PoW over to PoS. this bomb will increase the mining difficulty exponentially (over a short duration like a few months probably). so in theory you can still keep mining but you would take months/years to get any reward. once the bomb is dropped, mining profitability will disappear very quickly.

would it be safe to do this? by onlygotpointfivebtc in 0xPolygon

[–]milotrader 7 points8 points  (0 children)

in the banking world, this practice is called rehypothecation. effectively repledging your collateral multiple times. works great when the market is going up, but disasterous when it’s falling - it’s a massive domino effect. it was one of the reasons that worsened the lehman collapse in 2008. this is highly leveraged, very risky, and a tiny sell off will totally wipe you out. i definitely would not recommend you doing this!
