I know a bunch of you have Substacks and while I support you with all my heart, we've known for a while that these guys are right wing dipshits.

If you're looking for a non-fash alternative, Ghost is a non-profit and even has a cool horror sounding name! And its not run by right wing dipshits!

Me abrí un canal personal para hablar de programación:
youtu.be/Jre3hFs0yFQ

Este año planeo escribir más código y hacer más contenido, así que tendré este espacio para charlar de cosas que me interesen.

Dense una vuelta para ver el primer vídeo sobre qué realmente pasó con la IA para programación.

los gringos liberales son muy de apendejar a los republicanos y creen que se van a dar cuenta que sus propias politicas no son sustentables o no funcionan pero 1) les funcionan a quienes estan a cargo 2) los que pagan el precio en lo que "aprenden" somos nosotros y 3) les vale madre

remember que meta was doubling down on the metaverse wasting a ton of money and then they realized ai was a thing and they stole a bunch of data and misused their own users data but released the llms as open source so everyone was like 🤔👀

anyways

i just wish it was standard to provide the ebook if you buy a physical version of the book. i'm not going to buy the book twice just so i can have it at home and on the go.

chekos @soyserg.io · Jan 3

for most technical books I want a physical copy but what I probably *need* is an e-version so I look for it and inevitably end up finding the PDF for free somewhere and 8 times out of 10 I probably actually didn't need that book i was just curious so i end up not buying it and with the free pdf

Manning is the only publication I've bought books from that does the one thing I've always wanted from any publication: give me the ebook if I'm buying the print version.

all i want is to give the author some money for their work and be able to read the book however i want.

On-device Voice AI and local LLM platforms for Enterprises

i love the pico family of tools for this: picovoice.ai

it's not totally open-source but it's totally local and private. it also runs pretty smoothly even on my little raspberry pi zeroes. I think it even has streaming capabilities. i mostly use it for speech-to-text and it's pretty nice

Voice AI and LLM platforms for enterprises with compliance, reliability & scalability in mind to build AI agents, virtual assistants, speech analytics & more

One place where LLMs are useful: generating commit messages, given that:

1. You understand and can evaluate the message
2. The scoped code change is small
3. Your model is fast enough

Still playing around but this script+ prompt works fairly well out of the box:

I've been using (copy and pasted) andrej karpathy's version of this using @simonwillison.net 's llm tool. it helped that i can just change the -m model to try different ones (local and non-local)
