@MiguelCamba @Morrowmake Where did you buy them from?

[Dean Turner @DeanTTraining]

I’m going to KEEP SAYING IT until every last person alive is WELL AWARE:

Air Fried Potatoes have been given the formal name of “Nature’s Ozempic”

Nothing else on Earth will provide you with as much of a satiety benefit

Even 500g will have you full for hours and hours

Have an android and connecting it to a laptop with an LLM is so fun

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

Got my own local model running on my android phone and started replacing gemini

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

I wonder if I can replace Gemini on the Pixel 9A with a local LLM API

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

Got a pixel for experimenting on

I love Hermes agent

We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

@Morrowmake Need some myself

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

Think I convinced my friend to go 50/50 with me on a RTX 8000

Not sure if we should get sparks instead..

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@Priyannkaaaa SpaceX probably

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@Morrowmake @landontgreen Hello could I get the contact too please?

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@rezoundous Opus 5.5 on $20 is pretty cracked

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@Dreykingt What quality is this at? That might be the reason people aren’t going too crazy

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

Have been setting up a Hermes bot for helping me swing trade my positions. Collects X’s sentiment and news on the stock + outside news sources as well.

I am up 15% overall so far impressive.

@0xSero what bpw/quant is that? curious how it feels vs qwen 3.8 flash on multi-3090

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@MiaAI_lab any of these recipes workable on a 6x3090 ring or is TensorFold still Spark-first?

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@landontgreen @Morrowmake Me too please I am interested

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@Morrowmake How do you keep these cool?

[Day | AI Things @CodeBuilder_]

@thsottiaux Bro I just used a reset 🫩
