Sorry, I haven't done anything of the sort - I've been a member here for years and haven't told anyone about this post

If you or someone in your life books flights a lot, I'd love to hear what they think!

Very excited about this. I was programming an ESP32 for a project recently and was like, computer chips are fast enough, why can't I just write TypeScript?
I'm under the impression from the article that these are for the people RLHFing the model, not the engineers
that video on my MacBook Pro almost blinded me
Speculative decoding does this to an extent - using a smaller model to generate its own predictions and putting them in the batch of the bigger model until they diverge

FUTO | https://futo.org | Austin, TX or Remote | Full time

FUTO is an organization dedicated to the development of software that returns control of computers and technology to the people. We’re particularly interested in giving people more privacy and control from big tech. We also give grants to open source projects in line with our mission (see our site).

We just launched Grayjay, an Android app with a universal subscription feed for all creator video platforms that lets creators and audiences be less reliant on a single platform, and makes directly supporting creators easier than ever.

We're hiring an electron/vue and/or android engineer to help bring the product to more people

The Gitlab is back up now, it was hugged to death and I had to upgrade the VM. Sorry!

There's also another discussion of the license on this thread that hasn't been merged yet

Re:FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund on Saturday May 13, 2023 @06:53PM (#35933593)
Fixed! Thanks for bringing this up
Re:FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund on Friday May 12, 2023 @06:43PM (#35923469)
Asked him and he said he was talking about having to travel here to do the fellowship. "If you are international, we will accept you as a fellow and help you come to texas, but the fellowship program will not allow you to be in the fellowship program if you want to stay in your home country throughout the program."

Yes! It's not on the site yet but we recently gave microgrants to VLC, FFMpeg, the Blender Foundation, as well as other non-US projects. We also just had a fellow[1, applications now open] from Lithuania. (I work for FUTO)

> Meta's business model depends on selling user data to advertisers

This is just wrong, right?

IIRC Craiyon runs Dalle-mega. https://huggingface.co/dalle-mini/dalle-mega

Note I think you need 16gb of VRAM to run it.

This is sick! A few weeks back I made a very, very crude unreal engine AR-camera client to record mixed reality marketing footage for a VR game on a mobile iPad. It was a pain in the butt, I had to rebuild the whole app on every map change and had like no features. It was disheartening to realize that while the tech was there, it seemed like no tools really existed to easily do this (easily and affordably) for small filmmakers. Super happy to see the barrier is being significantly lowered!
I would expect pre-rapid-ubiquity covid tests had a lot to do with this. Speaking personally, the covid testing sites I went to all loved to charge tests as doctor's visits.
