a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I’m unironically curious. it’s a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it’s closed for unregistered readers, it’s typesetting sucks ass… the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I’d much rather pay directly to the authors.

hayk@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Been working on a #opensource GUI that allows you to connect to any #AI provider (even local like #ollama ) and have a unified chat history, characters, tools, documents etc.1·1 month agogreat! thanks for the reply. one other use-case that crossed my mind is an ability to write simple API requests in the GUI. for example, if you want to automatize a bunch of requests within the app itself, or control the format of its response to requests by an external app (basically tunneling them through your app). not sure how useful it is to others, and perhaps this is more easily achievable by simply writing a python script. but I think some ai companies do have this built in to their web interfaces.
whoever says
pacman
is enough either have all the time in the Universe to configure the miniscule knobs or have never done serious development with multi-platform/compiler deployments. controlling which compilers are used for which packages inpacman
(or any other default package manager for that matter) is a headache. having multiple versions of non-conflictinggcc
,llvm
,cuda
etc is priceless and very easy with brew.elitism aside,
brew
is genuinely a good package manager when it comes to imperative ones. I still use it on my desktoparch
extensively. ofc, if you have nix, there is really no good reason for it (and I’m not even sure it’s possible).PS. “but you can use docker” – not if you want to have the same performance especially on GPUs. also have you ever tried containerizing HIP? it’s a frigging nightmare.
PPS. if you disagree with the first paragraph – please reach out or send links. i’d love to learn how to do these on finite timescales of our lifetime.
run with
--password-store=basic
flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a.desktop
file with the properExec=
field. let me know if you need more details.UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.

re: Medium I was genuinely curious why people use it, thanks for the clarification.
still as someone who writes only open source codes, it goes a bit against my religion, but I totally understand if your income depends on it! thanks for the text, and for the “friend link”. as promised… ; )
