Would be great if there were more details on the costs of doing this work - especially when loading lots of tokens of context via repo mix and then generating code with context (context-loaded inference API calls are more expensive, correct?). A dedicated post discussing this and related considerations would be even better. Are there cost estimations in the tools like aider (vs just refreshing the LLM platform’s billing dashboard?)

The README is indeed clear, engaging and well-structured! The Screencap gifs are pretty helpful to immediately understand the scope of the project.

I’m not sure I’d agree with pivoting being a signal that prior work was discretionary. I think, in a lot of cases the strategic pressure from competition becoming more efficient or productive by capturing Internet traffic could have been a real reason as well.

It would be great if these questions also included a sub-question on distribution strategy, that's one of the hardest things to visualize as a developer from $0 to $500.

How does this compare to Agent Zero (frdel/agent-zero on GitHub)? Seems that provides similar functionality and uses docker for running the scripts / code generated.

I’d love to read a blog post from successful one person startups that are in the highly competitive spaces like DevOps tooling (uptime, analytics…) on how they go-to-market and differentiate.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer! I didn’t realize Ollama was OSS, I confused it with LMStudio’s licensing. I’ll try it out.

I would say I care a lot more about the perplexity performance than pure T(okens)PS… it’s good to be able to verbalize that.

Is there a tutorial on how to get that setup running step-by-step? I only found a GitHub issue (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/4439) that mentions that mainline llama.cpp isn't working for the model.

Bonus question if you have the time: there's a release by TheBloke for this on HuggingFace (TheBloke/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF); but I thought his models were "quantised" usually - does that kneecap any of the performance?

I’m an immigrant. I’ll be the first in line to agree that all the demands (and the specifics of those demands: personal space, hygiene, clothing, noise etc) for assimilation by western societies that I’ve ever heard re: immigrants, are reasonable - assuming such luxuries can be afforded (nobody crams themselves 8 to a room by choice).

But, people aren’t robots whose movements are controlled by an on-off switch. The government introduced the means for people to arrive and work, and so the people arrived. They are continuing to arrive because the policies have not been updated yet. How is it the immigrants’ fault? Why the hate and the attacks on their dignity & humanity?

The nonstop online vitriol hurts me deeply to read - nowhere is “safe” - Reddit, HN, Instagram… the hate spewers seemingly spend all their time spewing on these platforms to manipulate opinions and tap into the fundamental atavistic psychological flaws of the human mind.

Would be cool if there was a single site with an easy-to-use but comprehensive index of all such materials found in and around an average home that would make a chemist anxious, along with the safe alternative.

Wow, brand new product but already 'trusted by Oracle, Paypal, Amazon, Cisco' based on the logos I'm seeing on the home page. How was that achieved?

Young people also aren't rich, and live amongst the awful rent seeking economy built by those who came before. So it's not hypocritical to want to buy cheap, it's an unfortunate necessity. Also, the whole point of the push to make sustainability a mainstream concern is so that 'all those awful young people' can afford to buy sustainably produced products. Right now, unsustainable enterprises get to externalize the environmental costs on everyone else, and thus make sustainable & quality goods extremely pricey. It's a tax on morality - so let's eliminate that first and then point fingers about hypocrisy.

Would be awesome for folks with irreparable damage or diseases like scoliosis if it could “just” be replaced though.

Ah, thanks for clarifying… I assumed nerve signals travel at the speed of light and the person responding to me was being sarcastic!
