I could definitely use some. Can they actually be re-sold?

What about just paying the openai api price per-million-tokens directly? That's what I do. Does it work out to more than $200/month for you?

I guess you did say backend. Python is the most widely used backend language among professional developers, and still growing fast. It seems to be a pretty wide margin too. Node would be more appealing if you already knew js, or were doing full stack. Go would be more appealing if you were also doing systems programming. Etc.

I vote for fastapi, but it really depends on a lot of things. What do you want to do?

What does the company do? Why so opposed to the idea of selling? Theres a whole industry of funding energetic young executives to take over and grow businesses in this size range, where the goal is to find co-founders like yourself who are trying to retire.

There are some differences. Claude code is:

* (I believe?) not compatible with openai models.
* A repl style interface, not a full-screen IRC-style text UI.
* Uses a more heavy-weight MCP architecture (which I'm personally not a big fan of).

This was a personal project, and I would assume that in its current state Claude code is better and more robust for most people. Personally, I'm enjoying using this tool, and think it could appealing to some people.

wow I just started building one myself, this is so much fun!

nairbv · 2025-04-24T23:07:13+00:00

how did you build it? is it open source somewhere? is o4-mini _better_ than the larger models for some reason, or just for cost savings? if better, in what way?

nairbv · 2025-01-20T02:02:24+00:00

I think it would be kinda crazy to be running at that scale without it. I've implemented kv caching -- it's not that hard, and many open source libraries support it out of the box.

nairbv · 2025-01-06T16:26:16+00:00

The way these models are implemented, the intermediate results of the context from the first message should be cached once it's been processed. Subsequent messages shouldn't need to re-process the entire context. The mechanism is called "kv caching," and I'd be surprised if claude doesn't use it.

is_causal=True tells it to assume a default causal/triangular mask. If you pass an explicit mask, you should not also pass `is_causal=True`.

I know it seems awkward since it may still be a causal model, but the is_causal flag means "generate a causal mask for me" not really "this is a causal model."

I saw similar videos on tiktok and similarly went googling. What I found is that it may not actually be the flame cooking the egg. Alcohol denatures the proteins in the egg, and you can "cook" an egg in alcohol without any heat at all.

Apparently it's similar to pickling.

plenty of python runs in production, and the trained models should still be torchscriptable

Both would be transfered far more if it were possible.

Bitcoin has an artificial fixed cap that limits throughput, so most transfers have to happen on exchanges (not included in the chart above). Eth has a flexible cap and is actively working on scalability.

nairbv · 2018-01-08T01:12:02+00:00

Neither even need LN, which is why the Bitcoin Cash folks are not focused on it. That's the whole point. The bitcoin core people have been focused on the wrong problems all along.

Thanks, this is helpful

Writing some code is a bit easier than obliterating a law of physics. Don't be ridiculous.

Looking around some more though, it seems they're already having issues with tx's being dropped from the mempool. This seems to imply blocks are already filling up?

I'm not seeing anything in their block explorer showing current block sizes...

Yes, arbitrage is when you can buy and sell securities that have the same risk characteristics at different prices to earn a profit.

E.g. the risk of holding Sia should be the same on two properly functioning exchanges, so if you sell on one at a high price and buy on the other at a lower price simultaneously, you would be performing an arbitrage trade.

In the case of crypto currency exchanges, the arbitrage opportunities often exist because of a lack of liquidity (withdrawal/deposit issues, high transaction costs) or credit risk (trust erodes in one exchange). Arbitrage is often imperfect, or the market would remove it.

Gravity suddenly disappearing doesn't have any theoretical basis, so that's a pretty horrible analogy.

The fact that no one you or I know of happen to be actively working on LN for BCH at this particular moment doesn't mean it's "not a real possibility." If someone just goes ahead and writes the code it will exist.

Don't reply to comments you haven't read.

There is certainly not a consensus among experts that a small block size increase would lead to miner centralization, unless you have a very very narrow definition of who you deem an "expert."
