I get them wanting someway better than email to make sure I can’t repedetedly sign up for the trail, but don’t fucking auto-subscribe once the trail is over.
Form 8901 and it’s variations existed to help businesses pre-pay tax liabilities from having employees. It hasn’t been in use since 2010. It definitely will not convince the IRS to pay your debts from your imaginary SS Treasury account.
its amazing how its generally easier to transfer something to a server a country over for it to then reach the other device. instead of it going directly over local network speeds.
also how its much easier to backup to google than to you own computer thats right there.
An actually modestly reasonable amount of chips, but they were homemade and extremely seasoned. Salsa with the chips, and a squeeze bottle of a different sauce with the burrito.
Static, low-js, HTML tags used-as-intended, some basic CSS for formatting, responsivity and dark/light. Modern-looking accessible webpage from scratch done in half a day.
If we assume “half a day” is 4 hours, and 500 pounds. That’s 125 pounds per hour. Which isn’t the worst rate. Assuming it’s actually capped at 4 hours and we all know that if it’s your dad’s friend, this is not going to be a set and forget kind of thing. So that 4 hours quickly becomes 10. And suddenly you’re down to 50 pounds per hour. And then if it’s actually static and simple and good, you still have high odds of getting insane feedback demanding changes to make it worse. A motherfucking website would actually be the best option, but wouldn’t get you paid. At that point youre just doing it for the lols.
But ultimately, this isn’t even about the rate or how much time this will take. this whole scenario depends heavily on the son here. Is the son unemployed and living in dad’s basement for free? Then yeah. Sorry, he should probably take any work he can get for any rate he can get. His dad gets a lot more say in how things work financially if the son is relying on him financially. But if the son is already working a full time job and living in his own house? Then no, I don’t care what the rate is. Don’t commandeer other people’s time. Don’t make deals that people haven’t agreed to. Come to me with opportunities, not demands.
You’re not wrong, but a lot of time those webpages aren’t overengineered because the developer wanted it to be, but because the client kept making more and more demands.
The irony of some dude trying to prove a point that a website doesn’t need to be bloated and burdened with all the design and fancy scripts, just for other people to incrementally built on top of that idea, one-upping each other in the process, mimicking the exact evolution of the modern bloated website as we know it.
Honestly I hate the fact that browsers’ default CSS exists. The person doing the frontend should have to specify their “default” CSS before the website even loads. I say this as both a user and a programmer, the same website shouldn’t look different or break on different browsers unintentionally due to the browser’s CSS, and I as a developer shouldn’t have to rely on reset sheets to try to patch that.
Everything would be better if it were swapped around, instead of picking out a reset sheet for a site you pick out a default style…
The world would also be better if browsers rendered pugjs/slim and scss/sass and those were the default rather than html and css but I digress…
true. it kinda sucks seeing people argue against ai when they don’t understand it. like, there’s many things to criticize about ai, I’m not saying they’d like ai if they knew more about it. I just wish their hatred was more educated.
Idk, wrt Lora specifically. I agree in general it’d be good if haters of anything were more educated in that thing, but they probably don’t need to be that educated, especially in niche topics.
I’d consider myself an AI hater.
My job is also building ai-assisted tools.
But also I don’t need to understand how the AI works to understand it’s use, beyond a bit of prompt engineering.
I’m talking about LoRA, not LoRa. I’m a fan of both though. I’ve been considering getting a Lilygo T-Echo to run Meshtastic for a while. Maybe build a solar powered RC plane and put a Meshtastic repeater in there, seems like a cool project.
en.wikipedia.org/…/Fine-tuning_(deep_learning)Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is an adapter-based technique for efficiently fine-tuning models. The basic idea is to design a low-rank matrix that is then added to the original matrix.[13] An adapter, in this context, is a collection of low-rank matrices which, when added to a base model, produces a fine-tuned model. It allows for performance that approaches full-model fine-tuning with less space requirement. A language model with billions of parameters may be LoRA fine-tuned with only several millions of parameters.
