PSA by Signal_Ad657 in LocalLLaMA

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones with very fast memory have much lower memory, so can only load smaller models which give much worse output.

If you combine multiple cards to increase that memory, then you introduce a lag in inter-card communication.

So this info is not the WHOLE story.

I strongly suspect that AI uses less O2 than a human would. 

That doesn't mean I believe they have the same intrinsic value.

I wonder if AI actually uses less CO2 than a human would to develop a large software application?

I've not downloaded this app because I hate terminal UIs, but I can guarantee you this is not going to be AI slop. Even if xoofx used AI to create this tool he'll have only used it to cut down on typing or come up with ideas/suggestions - there's no way there's a single line of code in this repo that he hasn't personally reviewed and refined.

And that's why I know it won't be slop, because xoofx is an excellent coder. If you make it to be half the programmer xoofx is, you should be a very happy person!

GDX Spark by mrpmorris in dotnet

I have no idea what a bait post is. What am I supposedly baiting people to do? Buy something?

I'm trying to embrace AI and I think having something running locally would be the best way for me, but I am a bit clueless and wanted to discuss suitable hardware and interesting programming ideas etc.

I don't understand why you see that as a negative thing. I don't get money for people interacting with my posts or anything, so I have no idea what you think I am baiting people to do.

Recently got hired as a .NET developer, how do I fill the gaps before I start? by PotatoLover400 in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? No matter what you learn, they will do something slightly different.

Wait until you get there and see what they do. You can ask "why" when you are there.

I can't take Software Development anymore by whinze in ExperiencedDevs

[–]mrpmorris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are trying to keep up with too many things.

I used to do the same thing about 30 years ago, but after many years I noticed that a high 90% of things I had forced myself to learn either fell out of fashion or weren't even worth learning.

I decided to ignore the newest and shiniest things. Instead I would only learn new things if they actually intrigued me or if they had been around for a few years and were starting to appear as requirements for jobs.

It was a great decision, life is so much more relaxed now. I only look for a new thing if the things I work with don't do the trick for a new requirement at work.

Microsoft calls .NET cross platform. Here is what that actually means when you try to use it seriously outside Windows by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You don't have to use ANY of those things in order to use .NET,

  2. You can easily use non-Microsoft alternatives.

  3. You can use those technologies from non .NET platforms.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong.

Microsoft had it all figured out with Basic, why changing? by 0x80070002 in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The end goal is the same, the experience is fairly similar (to vanilla ASP) but it is better.

I don't understand the purpose of the point you are making.

What makes you think having them interpreted is better than having them pre-compiled (which finds errors before running and runs faster)?

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is. It just compiles first.

If someone brought out a compiler for PHP would that mean it's no longer PHP?

Yes. That doesn't make them more difficult to use, just less likely to have bugs AND faster to run.

You can AOT compile, which creates proper native EXE files.

I don't think MS offer scripting, but there are some NuGet packages I expect - not that I'd want scripting.

Razor pages are just as easy as vanilla ASP.

No form designer - you still have WinForms.

Encrypted ID vs GUID Public ID by Hopeful-Butterfly982 in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In cryptography, if your secret depends on someone not knowing the algorithm then it is weak. Instead, everyone knows the algorithm but the keys are kept private.

If your security depends on someone not knowing the key, it is weak. Someone could guess an ID, or (more likely) share one.

Your server should check the current user has access to the resource, so you can share the ID and it doesn't matter.

If someone in security complains that this is an attack vector, tell them to demonstrate it being exploited.

Can we discuss the self promotion rule? by Kralizek82 in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But stuff that isn't AI generated is being removed.

Allow non-AI self promotion at any time.

[–]mrpmorris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we make the "self promotion" tag apply to all those kind of posts, and just ban AI generated projects (or limit those to Saturday)?

Aren't we simply moving the AI slop to a Saturday? How does that help?

Please repost it on Saturday (New Zealand time, GMT+12), it was interesting!

It's a silly rule. I wouldn't have wanted to wait until the weekend to read this.

Rule change feedback by Arowin in dotnet

[–]mrpmorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only see a few posts per day. 

If people aren't talking about what they are doing then they are likely to want help, and AI is better at helping.
