As a backend developer who previously used bootstrap, it has been a delight to discover tailwind: https://tailwindcss.com/

They've reported surpassing GPT4 on several benchmarks. Does anyone know of these are hand picked examples or is this the new SOTA?

Comprehensive. Seems surprising that Harvard is sitting at the absolute bottom of the list.
Re:Python 3.12 on Monday October 02, 2023 @09:34AM (#37737873)
As now f-strings can contain any valid Python expression inside expression components, it is now possible to nest f-strings arbitrarily:

>>> f"{f"{f"{f"{f"{f"{1+1}"}"}"}"}"}"

'2'

Is anyone aware of the change to the interpreter that allows for this?

For what reasons?
I just discovered tailwind after using bootstrap for a few years...

Yes. It is amazing. Flowbite is the component library I've been using.

Re:LLM now provides tools for working with embeddings on Monday September 04, 2023 @06:27PM (#37385719)
This is a fantastic library. I plan to use some of the search functionality with a system that tries to figure out how to manipulate/work with/add features to existing code.

Curious, did you try GitHub copilot before switching to Amazon?

If you have, what are the differences?

Slick!

I assume this is legally questionable?

Should the layperson be concerned with this news?
What reasons?

We'll see a revival of functional programming once we can hammer down the mechanics of AI generated software
Re:Why host your own LLM? on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @03:11PM (#37137982)
I think he mentions this in the podcast. One of the challenging problems they're attempting to tackle is enabling the build to work with standard 120 volt wall sockets. He mentions throttling the system (GPUs specifically) to use less power at cost to performance.

That and setting up the software to work w/ an array of GPUs rather than one seems difficult.

Re:Why host your own LLM? on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @09:36AM (#37133842)
I haven't tried self-hosting due to the hesitation around the general drab I've experienced in the past trying trying to host other ML models.

Find a repo. follow the install instructions. What is this weird error? A library issue..? Maybe it's my OS..?

It always seems to be tedious compared to open projects in other domains. Maybe that can't be solved.
