Python linters have a one-step way to suppress all individual errors. I assumed a SaaS like Sourcegraph is the only solution to ensure a codebase doesnt become worse.

That Baileys api for Whatsapp may (AFAICT) put you in thin ice with Meta. Is there a cheap legit alternative?

https://baileys.wiki/docs/intro/


I was using WAHA. It is an abstraction layer with a proper API on top. It supports many engines like Baileys and Whatsmeow (golang).

Unfortunately, all those solutions are shaky and could lead to a ban on your account.

Is there a theoritical minimum for computing power required to say, target GPT-2? Is there something fundamental to prevent a gaming laptop from exceeding Claude Opus?

( all of this math is approximate) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62491720/in-latency-valu...

Bear in mind this is: - 5 years old - only cpu

If you'd do this on a gaming laptop, it'd all be on SSDs, which are orders of magnitude slower than GPU's for memory access

Also, AI uses maths, called FLOPS, floating point operations

My laptop cpu (7840U) has 4.1TFLOPS, a H200 GPU has 3,958 TFLOPS

OpenAI chatgpt 5 was reportedly trained on ~100-200k nvidia GPU's

So: - accessing data is 1000x slower - maths is 1000x slower - they have up to 200,000x more GPU's than a laptop

Now remember each part of the data is used multiple times, you start getting into the GPU's being 1000x1000x200,000x( data access multiple times) faster

So, I don't think there's fundamentally something impossible with training claude opus on your laptop, but moreso the time required would be so infinitely high that it's very improbable.


You could do it by hand, by calculating the gradients and doing backprop with pen and paper.

"build, then rebuild 3 times in less time than it would have taken to build manually" - wish this is explored more. I saw the typical guy one-shot code generation (seen one with undefined variable in happy path) and throw it over the wall. I'm trying to use my 1200 words per minute typing gift for harder tests, readable code, refactors, scripts etc. Starting with my side project though.

Would this be a problem if you can write E2E tests just like unit tests, like with Django+playwright?

I did this once for an AI training data management company in 2022. I assumed I just generated training data.

What are the issues faced by v6-only hosts and are there countries where it is a non-issue?

GitHub is the main problem currently. Some software like composer does not work due to this.

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539

For countries, if you meaning connecting to VPS, lot of countries have good IPv6 connectivity now. For me both ISPs I use have native v6. This will differ from person to person.

It is inconcievably stupid that github, run by a massive tech company like Microsoft, has not migrated to ipv6. They're single-handedly holding back adoption.

The massivest companies are the stupidest. Do what you can to avoid all Microsoft products.

My theory: Microsoft is extremely interested in tracking you via your IPv4.


I doubt "extremely interested" is the reason.

There may indeed be some tracking that MS does via IPv4, but it's not a good way to do it.

I suspect any such tracking is essentially just some cruft that snuck in (either their own or legislative) in the early 2000s, and nobody thinks it's their problem to make go away.

That said, that IPv4 is a poor way to do tracking doesn't guarantee there's no manager demanding it: any corporation eventually gets someone with no technical knowledge demanding bad solutions.


Toyota Hycross is easily 2x the price and is made in India AFAIK.

That's due to brand positioning.

If you position an automotive product in India to be affordable, you lose aspirational consumers (India1).

Toyota is trying to position itself as a luxury brand in India in order to better defend revenue, as in NAM and JP the Toyota brand has a similar reputation as Maruti Suzuki does in India.


In your (great) fantasy, are managers allowed to keep secrets from their reports?
