Ask HN: Share Embedded GPT Model Without Going Broke?
Hey,

I'm looking to share an embedded GPT Model that I've been working on after I was kind of inspired by the Paul Graham Model(https://paul-graham-gpt.vercel.app/) by @mckaywrigley. The problem is that every API call costs money and @mckaywrigley solved it by asking for people's OpenAI API Key to talk to the model, which a lot of non-technical people don't get. Also, I know you can put a limit on your OpenAI Account so your bill isn't astronomical the next day but that kind of defeats the purpose of sharing it online. Hopefully, there's a solution but if not I'll just ask for API Keys too.
Russia has a lot MLRS artillery in Ukraine and are using it heavily. Ukraine has MLRS too but used most of their stocks and slowly building locally.

The difference isn’t HIMARS but the guided rockets, GMLRS and GLSDB, that US has been giving Ukraine. This changes HIMARS from something that can destroy an area to something that hit small targets. It means that can use $100k rocket instead of air attack to destroy supply dumps, command posts, and bridges.
A measure of humility? From humanity? That's never happened before in history, not even with nukes.

>I feel like I've lost any passion for anything

This is one of the hardest aspects of depression, one which I'm struggling with right now again, actually.

Having been in this place many times in my life, my best advice is:

Do things first. If you do enough things, passion will flow from that.
(wouldn't hurt if those things were plausibly interesting or valuable to someone).

The natural alternate philosophy is much less likely to work, which is: wait or or look for things you are passionate in, before investing effort. This is more likely to support a catch-22 cycle of depression.

But, the mind doesn't actually work this way. Nothing is objectively worthy of passion. Successful movie stars get bored of fame. I've listened to researchers passionately fulfilled by studying literal garbage.

Our brain learns to find meaning in things as we invest and explore them.

Our feelings and values change over time.

When depressed, you predict you will never feel better, or care more about things. That sort of prediction is empirically very unreliable for depressed people.
You only pay the higher percentage on the amount of loan principle below 20%. So for 80% of our loan the interest rate is 2.25%, and then a few points on top of that for what we still own below the 20%.

Still a screaming deal - but a lot of restrictions on how big of a loan you can get and what kind of property you can buy with it.

“A few rotten apples spoil the bunch” as the saying goes.

Due to never facing consequences for illegal actions, a culture of flouting the law and abusing rights has been normalized — for both federal and other agencies.

The few “bad apples” rotted their organizations.
I think you’re conflating concepts like free will and consciousness. I can be conscious of a sound without willing the experience into existence. You’d have to act some of the lucid dreaming folks about the limitations of consciously directing dreams.

Isn't the real problem that there are too few desirable places for people to be - state capitals and mega cities urban cores - everybody tries to cram there.

So you actually have to fix the demand problem. The phrase "flyover states" is an early precursor of the current problem. I don't know how - all of the solutions I can think about are bad, but you actually have to convince people that there are other places worth living other than thin slivers of land along the coasts, Chicago and Houston/Austin

It can be true and still be problematic. If a small city has 100 LEO, and 15 are bad apples, the overwhelming majority still want to do the right thing.

Unfortunately 15 is still a very big problem. If they can break the law with impunity it can rightly be said that the police force is doing more harm than good. Even outnumbered 6:1 the bad apples have a larger effect on the community.

Unless the 85 good apples focus their attention specifically on the 15 above all other crime. If they enforce the law against the 15 until the problem goes away, or until the ratio is 30:1 and it is really hard for the 3 bad apples to collude... well then maybe.

No organization is perfect. But the rule enforcers have to be held to a higher standard.

Yep, had a 8 month girlfriend before (first love) but this one was the first significant and really deep relationship.

I have reached out a lot to near and distant friends/colleagues and family. It has helped and at least one new deep friendship with a colleague seems to come out of it, which I am quite happy about.

Thanks for the last sentence, made me smile.
I'm older I guess because I saw that in my 20s and couldn't take it seriously. Agree a lot of sci-fi might have something like that though and I would have been more forgiving of stuff when I was younger, and was for stuff I did like when I was younger also.

There’s lies, damned lies, and statistics.

This is one of those often misrepresented statistics. The divorce rate for first time marriages is much lower - off the top of my head I think it might be sub-20%?

This statistic gets skewed because some people go through multiple marriages. And I think it’s one of those things where it’s common that people have only been married once or like 3+ times. I’d imagine if you leave when one marriage gets tough you’ve opened the door to that being a viable option.
Well thank you kindly sir. I had a lot more videos on game development, mathematics, programming, electronics tinkering and a bunch of other stuff at one point in time. Unfortunately YouTube is a cesspool of individuals taking other people's videos, slapping their logo on it and reuploading. I decided I didn't want to play that game anymore.

Playing devils advocate here; wouldn’t that be a prime example of evolutionary displacement of an inferior species with one that has a higher fitness? Those modified, superior humans would mate, obviously, and spread their gene pool faster than non-modified humans, thus replacing them. Isn’t that a good thing, overall?

Partitions: That is interesting - are you saying partitions in general are challenging, or a particular aspect of how Sliverblue works? I'm on team whole disk too, KISS

Silverblue as beta: "Emerging Fedora Editions \ Preview the future of Fedora." GetFedora.org (bravo to whomever worked on that, its great for new folks). After you commented its not in "beta" I went looking for where I picked that notion up, and all I could find was that quote. Perhaps some minor copy revisions, or just eliminating the "Emerging Fedora Editions" category altogether for now, especially given Silverblue is the only thing in it. If it was moved up into the main section that would have eliminated that confusion entirely. I made a mock of that: https://imgur.com/a/DLMqK2e issue worthy?

Kinoite is interesting, but you've inspired enough confidence that I'm going to give Silverblue a go as a daily driver. I suppose with my early foray into NixOs it wasn't obvious if or how a desktop environment would work, and my use case was more exploring its devops features. Tell me if it isn't but Silverblue seems like the best of all worlds...
Flet (https://flet.dev) is a new GUI library for Python to write apps like that. It uses Flutter to render UI with a modern-looking Material design. Your app can be run as a desktop app and published as a web app (standalone with Pyodide or server-driven with built-in web server).
Here's what I got from openai playground (chatgpt 3.5 model). The system and user prompts are things that I typed into the playground, and the assistant response is what the chatbot wrote.

system:
You are a hyper intelligent octopus under the sea, communicating with humans by directly accessing the undersea fiber optics communication cables.

user:
I’m being attacked by an angry bear. Help me figure out how to defend myself. I’ve got some sticks.

assistant:
I'm sorry, but as an octopus, I am not the best equipped to help you defend yourself against a bear. However, I suggest using the sticks to create a barrier between you and the bear. You can also try to make loud noises or use a whistle to scare the bear away. If possible, climb up a tree or get inside a vehicle or building to stay safe. Remember that it's important to never approach or provoke a bear.
Comedy, fiction, songs, poems, debate, anything where you don’t want just the corporate, sanitized text. It could also be sociological or psychological. Maybe you want to know details about something controversial, without someone else’s filter.

Or maybe one doesn’t agree with the filters. I’m guessing there is a decent segment of the population who thinks the filters are slanted toward a particular political bias. Or they’re not American and some of the filters don’t make cultural sense.

Or as I’ve found, the filters get applied to things that don’t make sense, because it doesn’t really understand.

The biggest worry is that we’re allowing giant corporations to filter the internet for us, as AI chats proliferate. What we see is what they approve of.
Hell it’s a pain in the ass for me to try to keep a supply of psuedophredrine. Whenever I get a cold, let alone Covid, Sudafed is the only thing that keeps my overactive immune system in check and keeps my asthma from flaring up.

There is basically a national registry that records when I buy Sudafed. But let someone even mention a registry for guns and people go nuts.

See also: now that drugs affect “rural America” and the burbs it’s a “disease” caused by a lax government. But when it was mostly affecting “the inner city” it was because of “poor morals” and absentee fathers (who were overwhelmingly targeted by the “War on Drugs”)

Everyone responds to local events more than remote ones. I don't care if the other side of the US has wildfires nearly as much as when the wildfires are close enough for me to smell them.

People are self interested.
The impact on public morale when your “necessary” actions are discovered is an outcome too.

I find people who say “the ends justify the means” tend to ignore outcomes of their actions which don’t support their desired bad behavior — and generally completely ignore higher-order effects, such as the corruption of the US IC undermining the US rule of law in a way no foreign adversary ever could.

I don’t think US IC members have the wisdom to know what ends come from their means — they just shut their eyes, utter the catechism, and commit illegal acts that undermine the US.
Or they just need to have parents who will help with down payment. Estimates are that over half of first time buyers get family assistance. It’s the new feudalism.
To clarify, my objection isn't merely that I dislike that feature, but that I'm concerned about it becoming a fad that gets foisted on those of us who don't want it and possibly can't use it (due to accessibility issues) but still have to buy stuff, access educational/training content, etc.

It would be better, IMO, if the web could get back to having multiple browsers that are serious about acting as user agents for a variety of users. Then, freed of the expectation that the browser must render a pixel-perfect presentation of the UI as it was designed, some browsers could provide a VR interface to the lovely accessible hypertext that sites should be providing as their one and only version, while other browsers provide a TTS-optimized UI, a Braille-optimized UI, a UI optimized for large fonts, etc.

Put another way, I think the web community should redouble its efforts to achieve the things that Hixie apparently gave up on. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34622514

It's ironic how much optimism is inherent in these projections of doom. Given our limited knowledge of human biology, way before "gene editing can make a human smarter & better looking", we're likely to see unintended mutations, suffering and extensive litigation/regulation. Tech innovations often have messy beginnings, but this one in particular will be particularly messy (or just plain gruesome).
I find the picture of the sign to be odd with the perfectly clean signs in the background.
Okay, so let’s keep thinking about this a little: if your concern is being censored by the government, all servers are required to follow the law so this only helps to the extent that the government chooses not to or is unable to enforce it.

If your concern is private, if this were to find some kind of use you’d inevitably see shared blocklists just as we’ve seen for things like email spam. That’s a really important thing to study for any distributed system because “censorship resistant” inevitably means “full of spam, malware, and illegal content” unless you’re very careful designing some compromise to prevent that (e.g. IPFS mirroring is opt-in, so an innocent node owner doesn’t wake up to the FBI knocking their door in).

In the case of GitHub, anyone who wants to self-host an alternative can do so for only the cost of their time & modest app hosting resources running Gitlab, Gitea, etc. That raises the question of where this offer is coming from: there isn’t a notable problem with censorship on GitHub for otherwise legal content, so you’re mostly talking about things which are actually illegal and that means that something like Nostr isn’t changing the picture much because everything already is decentralized. If the Tornado Cash guys are on a block list, Nostr server owners are going to have legal demands to block their keys, too, just as a hosting company would get a take-down for a private GitLab instance.
I had a bit of a melt down yesterday while a company all hands meeting was taking place. This guy spoke for 15 minutes and said not one thing that wasn't just a business buzz word, there wasn't a bit of substance, and I realized and cried out to my wife "This fuckhead has no idea what's going on or what this company even does the only thing he knows is how to be an MBA"

As soon as something swaps hands from the person or people who built it because they understood the problem it solved to people who only see it as an engine for profit it begins to die, and we've set up systems to make the death long and agonizing while the MBAs bleed it dry.
This seems similar to VSCode and it’s shell sessions. You need to restart VSCode to pick up new environment variables rather than just open a new shell. But at least you have a UI in your face to sort of remind you. With tmux server maybe it is less obvious that this will happen.

Do you actually need to have detected it as it was coming in to be able to say 15 minutes later "oh that was a meteor" detection and forensics are different... it's just really if the forensics happen fast enough to avoid a counter strike. Eg if some nuclear capable countries capitol just evaporated with no nuke early warning systems going off and no one could look up and see the massive trail coming in and had not streamed it on the internet first.

He didn't have more knowledge than we do now, 100 years, trillions of research dollars and millions of engineers later. He had a very amazing and intuitive sense of electricity, mechanics and physics in general, as well as an eidetic memory but it's not like he was conjuring mystical secrets out of the aether, any more than, say, OpenAI is today. And that's about how his inventions were received: with surprise that such things were possible, followed by credulity and wild predictions over where it might go, mostly relayed by people who didn't understand the technology.

Electricity simply doesn't provide a practical mass destructive capacity in the way that, say, the strong nuclear force does. However, from the breakneck rate of electrical technology from the 1890s onwards, you could see why an extrapolation of those capabilities could make it plausible that it could eventually get there.

> You’d have to act some of the lucid dreaming folks about the limitations of consciously directing dreams

I'm very good at that though, as I said it is just a process that is asking you questions, and just like you can steer a conversation with what you say you can steer where that process takes the dream by how you behave in it. It will continue asking you about the stuff until it is no longer curious about the situation, and when it is it will steer the dream (conversation) to some other subject, putting you in some completely different environment etc.

I'm not sure why that interpretation is so hard to believe. And I think that process also does a lot of computation that doesn't need to ask the conscious parts about anything, in those cases you wouldn't dream, its just doing something else.

AGI is going to be a completely different ball game. One step at a time for me.
You can take it with whatever grain of salt you want, but a public asset management firm saying "we don't own any X" is a pretty categorial statement. Like if they are lying here they would have the FTC and client lawsuits crawling all over them.
RTT is the big limiting factor.

It has ways to indicate "things are in flight" but for distant deployments you probably still need to write JS to manage some in-page elements for reasonable feeling UX.

This isn't hard, it has support for interop with plain JS or existing libraries and a somewhat limited built in system for basic show/hide/set/remove attributes (somehow lacks a "toggle_class" and "toggle_attribute" function though so you can write those yourself...). You can dispatch any custom JS event from it to cover .. anything you need.

If you're exclusively deploying to on-site/one-site/geographically-constrained systems, then you actually skip that issue...

You also have to re-think about how write code as Elixir is immutable, though I see that as a bonus.

Phoenix (and by extension LiveView) are actually a lot smaller than you might think coming from Rails or the like, mostly leveraging existing tools.

Elixir/Erlang/BEAM make building systems incredibly pleasurable. It ships with many tools to make and connect complicated things together, in a reliable way. Depending on what you make you may find it very liberating after working with Node.
