It's all a pony show.

So I can use this and it will pull new data from a database I can use to have it fill out a form? And I can trigger it when I need it to run with the updated form information?

Yes so you can run the same form over and over again with different input variables, very reliable, fast and cheap

Why do you need mlx? Like your blog post by you never explain why things need to be used.

Why isn't using localforge enough as it ties into models?

I was just trying to make sure is maximally performant, and did it with MLX because i am running on mac hardware and wanted to be able to run 30b in reasonable time so it can actually autonomously code something. Otherwise there are many ways to do it!

It would be nice if you mentioned it's about apple silicon, and not apple intel computers. They're still ubiquitous nowadays

we're on the 4th generation of silicon now

I believe mlx will allow you to run the models marginally faster (per a recent blog post by @simonw)

Yeah, you don't necessarily need it but it's optimized for Apple Silicon and in my experience feels like it gives slightly better performance than GGUFs. I really need to formally measure that so I'm not just running on vibes!

I for one, am willing to just trust you bro ;)

Yeah I’ll go with Simon’s vibes over most people’s measurements!

mlx is an alternative model format to GGUF. It executes natively on apple silicon using Apple's AI accelerator, rather than through GGUF as a compute shader(!). It's faster and uses fewer resources on Apple devices.

Started my mp3 collection with mIRC client. I believe my first mp3 was Killing in the Name by RATM followed up by Sober by Tool. Showed my friend how to play music on the computer and they were blown away. The good old days. Finding help for SQL, programming was a lot faster than today for some subjects.

Sometimes I pop into HexChat but the servers I used to use aren't there or not as good. Freenode? I think it was called.

Undernet on the #zeraw channel is where I spent a bit of time hanging out. You'd trade open FTP servers, I assume sysadmins had misconfigured them, that other users had uploaded games to.

Games used to be split by disk files, i.e. 1.44mb individual files, and I would download 1 - 10 overnight while my friend would grab 11 - 20. We'd later call each other and use Zmodem to build a full set each.

Fun time to be on the internet.

It was a hell of a time to be on the internet, for sure.

Security was basically non-existent or so badly implemented that it was a joke.

Some fond memories of my early teenage years:

- Causing net splits to steal ops / takeover IRC channels

- As part of a warez group, using site to site FTP transfers to move massive (at that time) amounts of warez without being limited by my 14400 modem

- How crazy easy it was to crash/DOS pretty much any computer on the internet

- Taking over company networks just for fun, and putting in backdoors that drove the sysadmins nuts

Yeah, I was a shithead teenager, and am sincerely sorry to the sysadmins I messed with, as I am a sysadmin myself now.

Eventually I ended up having many FBI-instigated meetings with the RCMP Commercial Crimes Division... They had boxes upon boxes of paper printouts from sniffing my connections.

I think I got off partially because of my age (about 14). But also the fact that the telecom company I was using had illegally sniffed incoming telnet sessions to my Linux box before there was any warrant, and had logged in using credentials they had sniffed to read many personal emails between my brother and myself, and other friends that used the system.

I realized what they were doing pretty quickly, but, I'm pretty sure their recklessness in doing that is what saved my butt in the end. This was a big crown corp telecom company.

>Undernet on the #zeraw

I totally forgot about warez being backwards sometimes. I still visit #bookz but don't really pirate games and other media much anymore. Piracy really is a service issue and not a pricing problem once you're an adult with real money.

Freenode kind of got destroyed after the organization operating it was sold, and the new owner made changes that caused lots of volunteers to resign. Channels and people mostly moved over to Libera Chat.

A lot of universities quickly did traffic shaping/limits to p2p apps (outside of the internal file sharing networks).

But IRC was exempt or under the radar :)

Well file transfers via DCC (the IRC transfer mechanism) are direct. The receiver connects directly to your machine or visa versa.

When it turns to beta, I'll be using this.

Always wondered how you can protect a php or python package with a license key. Its code, you can just ignore the key in the source code, can you not?

Can it be headless?

Yes: start_chrome(headless=True)

I run clearpayments.ca completely word of mouth and referrals only payment processing services and sytescope.com

I give all clients the best rates possible because it doesn't matter as its not my primary source of income. However, business owners hate change so its hard to convince them lower fees and better products are better for them in the long run.

I make between $3500/m - $5000/m maybe 10 support emails a month.

I also build apps on the side for sytescope.com integrations.

unfortunately I could only afford the M4 Pro model MBP lol

I can put all the content into text. Would putting it all into json or cvs with headers be helpful? Break down content by topic, categories, links to other pages if it needs to read other content?

Yeah whatever will give you accurate vector embeddings.

You’ll combine those json properties into one vector.

For links you might hard code those as an extra part of each object or potentially require another API call to retrieve relevant links from your “link store”.

It’s useful to have benchmarks in place like:

input “should equal” output And start building a suite of test cases to evaluate your set up.
