Would you be able to share a bit about your workflow? Have been meaning to try AI gen for game models, and would love to know how people are tackling this.

I think part of the issue is that these retailers are also customers of meta/google on the side of purchasing ads, and as a merchant you're highly encouraged to send as much data on your events as you can, or your conversion tracking can be "less accurate"and your campaigns are less efficient.

So it's less about "we're sending the data to $megacorp" and more about "I want the most bang for buck on my own campaigns" when the decision is made.

Using a different email certainly helps, though!

EDIT: highly encouraged by meta et. al! Whether this is a legitimate request to improve results or pure self-interest on the part of meta I don't know!

The issue is, even with all the browser protections, you still create an account anywhere or buy something an input your name/email address/shipping address, your "hashed data" immediately gets sent to meta/google as a conversion with "this guy bought a cat toy", and you start getting ads for cat related stuff everywhere.

They don't even need to "track" you properly for this stuff to work and it seems there's no way to escape it.

A fascinating thing for me after reading this is: how can it be that the "circuit input" is compatible with its output to the point where the performance improves? The training process never saw this particular connection just like it didn't see layer 60 output into layer 3 or whatever.

Great read, makes you wonder what else is encoded in these models that might be useful!

A good example of this is Rust. Rust is by default memory safe when compared to say, C, at the expense of you having to be deliberate in managing memory. With LLMs this equation changes significantly because that harder/more verbose code is being written by the LLM, so it won't slow you down nearly as much. Even better, the LLM can interact with the compiler if something is not exactly as it should.

On a different but related note, it's almost the same as pairing django or rails with an LLM. The framework allows you to trust that things like authentication and a passable code organization are being correctly handled.

Very small suggestion: Can you make the entries actual links/anchor tags so that it is possible to copy link, middle-click to open in a new tab, and so on?

You can look at it both ways.

Using the database as a queue, you no longer need to setup transaction triggers to fire your tasks, you can have atomic guarantees that the data and the task were created successfully, or nothing was created.

I think the problem starts with the name. I've been coding with LLMs for the past few months but most of it is far from "vibed", I am constantly reviewing the output and guiding it in the right direction, it's more like a turbo charged code editor than a "junior developer", imo.

Have you tried Roo Code in "Orchestrator" mode? I find it generally "chews" the tasks I give it to then spoon feed into sub-tasks in "Code" (or others) mode, leaving less room to stray from very focused "bite-sized" changes.

I do need to steer it sometimes, but since it doesn't change a lot at a time, I can usually guide the agent and stop the disaster before it spreads.

A big caveat is I haven't tried heavy front-end stuff with it, more django stuff, and I'm pretty happy with the output.

And a great way to pick up the guitar every day is to have it ready to go at all times. Keep it outside the bag/case and at arms reach.

If you're visiting Shinjuku, nearby there's a narrow street called Omoide Yokocho. Just take in the vibe and choose a yakitori spot to grab a bite and drink your poison of choice (tea/beer/sake). I would recommend going at night/dinner time.

Speaking of Shinjuku and videogames, if you've ever played any yakuza/like a dragon game, you owe it to yourself to go to Kabukicho and its big red gate.

In any case, whatever you choose to visit in Tokyo, it will be really nice, and a lot of it will still be waiting when you eventually come back.

Cheers!

The worst so far, and the best when compared to all of your remaining days.

I think Elden Ring (and the souls genre in general) IS designed with the assumption players have access to the internet to search for stuff if they want.

The game will still provide quite a challenge even if you know where you need to go and get weapons/items/etc. The bosses won't defeat themselves even if you know the overall strategy to use.

I think of it as kind of a self-regulated difficulty system, if you want to go in blind you are still free to do so.

I'm not a scientist by any means, but I imagine even accurate opaque models can be useful in moving the knowledge forward. For example, they can allow you to accurately simulate reality, making experiments faster and cheaper to execute.

Employees have been feeding sensitive data to online translators in the same way.

Not to say it isn't a problem, but it's not an AI/chatGPT specific one.

Can you elaborate on why you think that?

IMO, their scripting language is pretty accessible to anyone with a bit of experience with programming and has nice syntactic sugar to integrate with the engine.

For sure, I'm not saying it'd be better or worse. It's just hard to imagine a world without Chrome.

Imagine how different the world would be if Google really went with the "enhanced version" of Firefox instead if building Chrome.

Does anyone know how this compares with centrifugo?

Fully cross-platform for the usual suspects on desktop, mobile and web.

If you want to publish on consoles you need to pay someone who ported the engine to the console you want to target (or port the engine yourself). The code can't be open source because of licensing issues.

If someone could challenge my layman understanding:

Isn't the information still there, inside the black hole, but just not retrievable from the outside?

I mostly agree with other commenters, but I really must hard disagree with point 5.

Proper abstraction is the one thing you need to get right, and django makes it so easy to make clean separate modules work together using a shared base and way of working (user model, groups, permissions, urls, signals, etc.).

One day you'll need to use your payments logic to sell something else, embrace it.

While point #1 is of course valid, it is most useful for new code, or code with significant resources behind it to optimise it for lambda.

For people with an established codebase, not wanting to go all in on lambda/serverless, or wanting to use existing frameworks, the trade-off might be worth it.

The only point I can sympathize with a little bit is the default admin UI looks, which could be a little more modern.

In any case, I don't know of any one other framework with a remotely comparable admin interface in terms of capabilities and usability out of the box, so there's that. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

For everything else (even async with channels), as long as you don't stray too much from the django way, you'll be immensely rewarded by how neat and easy to navigate even large applications look.

That would be django-rest-framework.

I'd bet more on them using their internal stack/expertise from building workers.

I might be wrong but these shavers are generally "water proof", to be used in the shower and whatnot.

Turning off when charging sounds like a way to prevent someone to follow through with the shockingly brilliant idea of doing that while plugged in to the wall socket.

So, layman's question about black holes, almost 100% sci-fi derived.

Starting from the time mechanics shown in, e.g., Interstellar. If when you're near a massive black hole time passes differently (more time passes away form the hole, so to speak), couldn't it be said that the regions near and far the black hole are drifting apart in the "time dimension"?

If we take the black hole to be an extreme case of that, isn't the black hole a region that is drifting away so "fast" that light isn't fast enough to reach "us" on the outside?

In that case, there would be no paradox, right? Whatever is inside the black hole is still there, but with no way to communicate.

Going on a tangent but upon reading about vestibular reflexes I recalled something I used to do as a kid:

When in bed, ready to sleep, I could condition myself to believe the bed was tipping over to the side, up to the point where I would have the reflex of grabbing the sheets to keep myself from falling, similar to jolting awake up after falling in a dream.

I wonder if something could be done to manipulate these perceptions without actually zapping the brain.

Tough problem to solve. I wish we could just accept the fact that people can have opinions different from our own. This is not just normal, but good!

It feels like we're just scaling up small town feuds into a global phenomenon, e.g. "I won't set foot in X or Y's restaurant. Don't you know they buy their cabbages from NextDoorVille instead of buying them from Old Whitney down the street?!"

Having an "open door" and publicly stating an unpopular opinion is, sadly, broadly incompatible.
