Every job will have some sort of crunch time. Even just staying in a programming position, the definition of “crunch time” will vary wildly. I’m lucky enough that “crunch time” just means that I set aside all my other tasks until I fix whatever is on fire, but I still get to go home on time unless I really want the overtime pay.

I don’t envy positions with forced 80-hour workweek crunch times. That’s a sign of bad management.

Because I am addicted to solving puzzles.

I’m really conflicted on this. On the one hand, you’re right that just having someone to talk with can really help. On the other hand, good therapists don’t just listen: they offer advice backed by decades of research to help you resolve those problems. I’m curious how much research has been done about whether LLMs would be useful or actually damaging in cases like this.

The GitHub for Memmy shows the last commit was a month ago. That’s not “abandoned” for an open source personal project, but it definitely seems to be on the developer’s back burner right now.

I like supporting smaller projects, but Memmy’s just gotten outpaced by other recent clients. I’ve switched to Voyager and really like it. I’ll come back to Memmy once it’s getting active development again.

Are you using this as a project to learn about machine learning, or are you trying to use machine learning to solve this project? I truthfully don’t know much about the inner workings of ML, but this project seems like something that’s already very doable without ML.

Bluey.

• Use your messy instincts to learn how to organize. If you always place your keys in a certain spot, put a key dish there. If you dump your clothes on/near your bed, get a laundry basket there.

• Lists are only useful if you look at them, so put them somewhere you can’t avoid. I’m not talking about your fridge: use your phone. Set reminders that stay visible until you mark them completed. If you use Outlook for work, use its reminders liberally and give them realistic deadlines.

• Most important of all, take your medication if you have some. You wouldn’t stop wearing your glasses because they let you see, so if your medication is working then keep up with it.

I do image generation for RPGs, so AZovya’s RPG v3 model is easily my favorite. It does a wide range of styles very well and understands a lot of RPG-specific tokens. I’m really hoping they update it for SDXL, because all of the models I’ve seen so far are disappointing compared to what’s available with SD 1.5.

I don’t have an answer for LLMs, but I’m curious what others will reply with. Aren’t there only like… 3 or 4 models in common use for LLMs? I’m used to having hundreds to pick from with Stable Diffusion; I don’t think I understand how LLM models are different.

I wouldn’t know the feeling. I only paint helmeted minis for a reason.

Though Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was a divisive game, its art direction and soundtrack are incredible. Oscar Araujo’s score combined with some great vistas and setpieces elevates the mediocre gameplay to actually make this game one of my favorites.

I also loved the songs from Death Stranding. Low Roar’s tracks fit the atmosphere of the game perfectly, and the few tracks from other artists really stand out in a nice contrast to Low Roar’s calmer feeling.

This sounds absolutely incredible. Reminds me of Pied Piper from Silicon Valley.

I would assume that Lemmy is not very accessible yet, but Lemmy’s mobile apps are under a month old. They are making fast progress and I would expect that to change very soon.

However, Reddit’s app has been out for years and they have been told about its accessibility problems for just as long. The impression I get is that they didn’t prioritize accessibility since third-party apps handled that for them. When they cut off access to these apps, they made it very clear that they have no alternatives in mind; they consider the visually-impaired userbase to be insignificant and simply don’t care about their issues.

Wtf this isn’t anime titties

It’s been a long time since I read it, but I remember liking City of Endless Night.
