As an artist, I was excited about the implications of getting paid for your work each time it sold, but have not seen that facet explored in the tech news I follow here and elsewhere.

Of those still in the space, what does the landscape look like? Did it pan out better or worse than you expected? Has the technology led to any unforeseen problems or solutions that came from time spent on the tech?

Truly curious, seeing as we are in what I would call a similar cultural moment with what I’ve been seeing made and written about “agentic” AI.

It seemed to get the idea of my prompt to extend the footer info (I want it to show the model abilities like tool calling or reasoning where the context percent thing is), made a plan and wrote the file, but then got hung up on implementation because it couldn’t figure out how Pi renders that part of the UI in Powershell

So possibly trying a different terminal might help on that front, haha

But certainly seems like we are a few years away from that, sadly.

Am I also screwed in being able to train my own small model or adjust another one with such a non-workhorse PC?

I very much appreciate the frank response, as it makes me feel less defeated at knowing my understanding of how it should work is not the full issue, hahaha

I do not have a crazy rig, a modest gaming one at that, but in trying to understand more about agents and their capabilities, I am SOL with my 16 GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM. I can get most small, non tool calling models to perform well, but I've had major issues with anything over 9B doing anything more than reasoning (egregiously slow at higher parameter counts).

And so far, I cant get even Pi to extend itself or do any meaningful work with any of the models I currently can get to run.

Was at a conference last week where I was trying to figure out where to start with automated value models, and this is perfect.

Tho if it works as free advertisement on either side, that’s a win-win.

They then use their own “special” algorithms to give their price estimate based on “relevant” factors by what you are describing.

Your real issue is that the agents putting these homes on the market have a financial stake in it selling, and own copyright to all the pictures and descriptions of their listings. So you have more liability if you are scraping their info.

Another issue is who is the target audience for this? Most serious homebuyers are going to use an agent or a trusted partner for a transaction, and are not excited about compounding layers of hurdles to purchase a home

As one of few young people in my profession, there is much potential in making a fairly opaque industry better known, and I’ve seen very few of my older peers interested in sharing the knowledge we hold (which is also why it is so hard to get into this profession).

I work full time in my geographic area, but I am able to set my schedule to my liking, so if I am someone who seems worthwhile to talk with, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Is your point that people aren’t willing to pay for things if they have a choice not to?

Or is it that independent artists should be grateful that people see their work at all and that “most” people will just think they are a grifting sociopath?

Not sure what your issue with my comment is, but I’m interested in what you meant, as I feel I’m missing context that only you have at the moment.

-to directly support artists with buying the albums or songs at full price, rather than letting Spotify barely pay artists anything for their music (especially independent ones without industry connections)

-knowing you own your library and that once you’ve purchased media, there is nothing to take it away other than the sands of time taking back its silicate

-one does not need unlimited access to songs they will never hear, especially when natural discoverability on Spotify is so so versus trawling through sites like Bandcamp, Earmilk, RCRDLBL (I know it doesn’t exist anymore), or other places where new artists show their work in a way that Spotify doesn’t provide

Is there a way to find the actual cost to compute a given task in terms of electricity consumption, or has this been a solved problem and hosting companies just add their proprietary sauce and then charge for the end result?

I’m curious in this way, because I’d love to be able to host for clients in my geographical area, but I don’t want to over-charge more than what it is actually worth to run the infrastructure.

At the core of my question is understanding the basic economics of hosting in relation to electrical consumption and hardware wear. I’d guess the outer layer of my question has a bit to do with knowing the true cost of hosting rather than how to make the most off of clients for simple services.

Appreciate any and all input!

I have no use for machine learning like this, and definitely not what I thought when I saw the headline. Hope the pivot works well for alphabet, but odd nonetheless.

Her and a bunch of others are active on the Obsidian discord, and from the TTRPG specific Obsidian group, they released a fantastic resource in: https://obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/Obsidian+TTRPG+Tutorials/...

It has a lot there, and not every DM needs everything in here. However, I love this resource as another way to understand all the different things you could do with and without plugins.

Where I have used pen and paper in the past to track everything, Obsidian has supercharged my ability to sit down and flesh out my homebrew world in a way that was hard to do for myself prior. On top of the ease of writing and linking together notes, it also allows me to simultaneously tie in my pre-written lore with the session notes I take, so I don’t forget stuff that happens or that my players are supposed to pick up on.

I’ve also encouraged my players to use it, so that if they are taking notes on the right things, they can piece together stuff or make their own assumptions to inform how they choose to play.

It works for us, I get it’s not for everyone. But versus my old DM Binder in OneNote, it works perfectly for my needs!

On a similar, yet separate note, I’ve found the folder/note structure to be conducive to learning new TTRPG rules and essentially having my personal SRDs for different games (currently chunking my way through the Shadowrun 6e SRD and making my own notes or expansions on it to make it make more sense).

So possible rendering point, though I guess falls under browser engine

You could probably find other books on attachment theory, but the application of those ideas in a book that is based on the individual and how to navigate your own attachment issues in the midst of multiple relationships is great.
