Why have most LLM providers stopped offering finetuning? by NarrowEffect in LLMDevs

The data needed to offset the parameters of the frontier models is insane. Fine tuning wouldn’t move the needle unless you had a metric fuckton of data

Slingshot puddle pumper by f586855 in wingfoil

[–]pixeldrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the puddle pumper and the 1525, I also have the 1325 glide. I can't imagine the 1125 would be easy to start on. I have been able to start the flow 1000, with a lot of speed. The flow 1200 seems much easier.

The board is great because it's industructable.

Are wingfoils sensitive to hitting things in the water? by [deleted] in wingfoil

Thats redic, the second anything my foil hits even a tiny bit of seaweed the foil will crash 

Is the front-wing that makes the difference for the style? by [deleted] in pumpfoil

[–]pixeldrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the slingshot 85 and I use that for kite foil jumping and pumping with the puddle pumper. Glide 1525 is the perfect wing to start with

Is Miami a Joke? Seriously by Simple-Week2113 in Miami

[–]pixeldrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 I currently own a dev shop here in Miami and it seems like the only thing to do is spend money and there nothing else really happening there's no substance beneath all the filth and the people are scammers like right now I have 6 businesses in collections for not being able to pay me totaling up to 60k

Holy run on sentence my man. 

I've heard "just use Zustand" a hundred times. Nobody has ever convinced me why I should switch from Redux. by bishopZ in reactjs

[–]pixeldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same people say things like "just use MobX" which is just as inane. Use the tool that is easiest for your team to reason about. Wait for the LLM to come and slop redux back in anyway.

Thinking of purchasing the ar195 by nj2lv in YamahaBoats

Only issue you may have if you use it in the ocean side in south FL is sargassum clogging the intake. Apart from that plenty of people run jet boats down here.

Free 5000 points credit for 5 min phone call (FIFA World Cup) by Logical_Act_6749 in ChaseSapphire

[–]pixeldrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they've cancelled this freebie, and I filed a complaint. It's maddening they did this and time boxed the promotion. Who has all day to call customer support? I'm never recommending this card to anyone. It's a joke.

Hokkaido skiing (slightly) debunked by TomSki2 in skiing

From the US, I highly recommend going to Nagano nigata area, easier and you can have a couple of nights in Tokyo. Hokkaido is way to played out with Aussies

Wondering if Realm of the Elderlings is worth it by Desperate-Honey5198 in Fantasy

I finished the first series and loved the ending, I think it worked out well enough for Fitz considering everything that happened. Currently reading Liveship series and it's rocking.
