I've set it up on my home computer for testing with code generation. My main tasks are machine learning projects, simple web apps, etc. I've connected it to the continue.dev extension in vs code and tried some of the smaller code models. I'm going to do some testing to find what completion models work the best, then fiddle with chat models. Agent mode was bad with the default small models, but then again I've never been impressed with agent mode even with GitHub copilot using 4o.
I would create my own Groundhog Day set up. Start learning task A. After 47 hours, fly around the earth to rewind time. Learn for another 47 hours. Repeat process. Learn infinity tasks and become a master at everything. On the last loop win the heart of Andie MacDowell.
As a child, I loved the x files. I wanted a cool name for AOL. Thought I was clever picking the character Deep Throat, I was so cool. Didn't realize till later what it also meant.
I don't think so, these numbers are population averages and the relationship probably doesn't apply at the individual level. Also humans don't tend to follow this rule as closely due to things like medicine.
I also make my own. I've tried a lot of different peppers and random ingredients. I think my favorite was a mango habanero (fermented with mango and some other goodies, also added some fresh mango at the end before blending and pasteurizing). I also made a few fun fermented sauces with those dried chilies you can get in bags from the grocery store, added some fresh ingredients like carrot and onion to get the ferment going.
This has actually lit a fire under me. I built a PC maybe 10 years ago and put windows on it out of laziness. It's been fine at what I need but it's age does show. I've been hemming and hawing about what to do next but I'm lazy and put it off.
Now with Windows 10 losing support it forces my hand to finally do something. I ended up ordering a desktop from System76 just today (won't be my first experience with Pop). After I transition all my day to day stuff to that new PC I'm going to wipe my windows box and test other Linux distros with it. So I'm relieved and excited that Microsoft has made my decision for me!
The hard thing for me will be deciding what to do with my Microsoft Surface Go (first Gen I think). I see some guides online to switch those to Linux but it seems more challenging for my level of experience. It'll probably be my next project.
Probably not what you are asking for, but the character creation process in the Traveller ttRPG is a great mini game. You basically take a person from 18 to however old you want, and their life path is dictated by your choices and random dice outcomes. It's a lot of fun. You can end up with a retired admiral, a prisoner or criminal, psionic, etc. Going through this process with a table of friends let's you build in rich fun connections along the way. The actual RPG then starts with mature, connected characters with a history, instead of 4 randos meeting in a tavern. In the classic Traveller you can even die in character creation. Current iterations removed the death component but you can be maimed from accidents in your career and start the game with a mountain of medical debt.
I always call him Agent Elf
