I like that they say “outdated” stereotypes like they used to be true but now they aren’t.

Come on people, keep your steroetypes current.

If you’re doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It’s incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.

That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.

I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.

Llamafile is a great way to get use an LLM locally. Inference is incredibly fast on my ARM macbook and rtx 4060ti, its okay on my Intel laptop running Ubuntu.

I think the argument is interesting.

Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead “If you’re alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person”. However, since right now it’s socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.

Llamafile runs entirely on your machine. The largest one I can run locally is Mistral-7B and Wizardcoder 13B. They seem to be on par with chatgpt-3, but that’s okay for my purposes.

I use it for exactly the same thing.

I used to spend hours agonizing over documenting things because I couldn’t get the tone right, or in over explained, or some other stupid shit.

Now I give my llamafile the code, it gives me a reasonable set of documentation, I edit the documentation because the LLM isn’t perfect, and I’m done in 10 minutes.

A simpler answer might be llamafile if you’re using Mac or Linux.

If you’re on windows you’re limited to some smaller LLMs without some work. In my experience the smaller LLMs are still pretty good as chat bots so they might translate well.

I love duckDB, my usual workflow is:

• initially read my data from whatever source (CSV, relational database somewhere, whatever)
• write it to one or more parquet files in a directory
• tell duckdb that the directory is my data source

Then duckdb treats the directory just like a databese that you can build indexes on, and since they’re parquet files they’re hella small and have static typing. It was pretty fast and efficient before, and duckdb has really sped up my data wrangling and analysis a ton.

Should include “has duckplyr” which is bad ass in the few weeks I’ve been using it.

I have a soft spot for Jenkins because it was the first integration tool I ever used fresh out of college.

But today I want to stab the server because a job started failing randomly with a permission error when trying to copy a file.

I use simplex with graphene os on my pixel 7 pro and it works great.

I love DuckDB. It’s really nice to be able to put a bunch of parquet files in a directory and then do operations on them as if they were a sql database. You can even put an index on the files if you’re feeling froggy.
