If you're a Homebrew user this might now be one of the quickest and easiest ways to start running a LLM locally on your own machine - it's just three steps:

brew install llm
llm install llm-gpt4all
llm -m 'ggml-vicuna-7b-1' \
'ten fun names for a pet pelican'

@akahn @nateberkopec not with singed, but we have rack-mini-profiler enable for staff, and are evaluating the new Datadog profiler thing

Josh Nichols May 8, 2023

Hey, I wrote a thing that @nateberkopec wrote a thing about! Singed, a Profiler Front-End for Ruby and Rails Application https://medium.com/gusto-engineering/singed-a-profiler-front-end-for-ruby-and-rails-applications-f0f02da21e89

Singed, a Profiler Front-End for Ruby and Rails Applications

Have you ever found yourself wanting to understand why a block of Ruby code, a particular web request, or a certain controller action was running so slowly? Maybe you’ve used some profiling tools like speedscope in the past, but found it cumbersome, or you’ve tried but failed to figure out how to use them.

Anyone in my network part of tech404? ie tech404.io ... Trying to connect with local Ruby folks following #railsconf and it was suggested, but the inviter has been failing for awhile

@xurizaemon that is a great idea. I would probably lean towards closing out most things at this point esp if waiting to hear back, or something unlikely to do anytime soon.

@postmodern sounds like a bug in the cop. Maybe it needs like only trigger for or more letters at the start?

Since I just saw yet another developer use '1.2.3.4' in an example configuration, a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890, such as;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC is here;

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6890/

RFC 6890: Special-Purpose IP Address Registries

This memo reiterates the assignment of an IPv4 address block (192.0.0.0/24) to IANA. It also instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries. Upon restructuring, the aforementioned registries will record all special-purpose address blocks, maintaining a common set of information regarding each address block.

@anizocani https://www.popsci.com/diy/fix-macos-audio-balance-bug/ is what lead me to it. Never have run into this bug before but it has been around. I can see the balance change when unplugging from my usb-c dock. I thought my speakers were broken until I realized the working side changed!

Only getting audio in one earbud? Here’s how to fix this macOS bug.

If you've been getting audio only from one earbud, your Mac computer might be the culprit. Here's how to fix this audio balance problem.

There is something 😂 /😭 about software that exists solely to fix/worksround a bug. My Sound balance has been acting weird lately, and found out it’s a macOS bug, with https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/balance_lock/ as a fix

Balance Lock

Prevents audio balance from drifting left or right when plugging in headphones.
