hi

#

when I was 10 I built a robot that solves Rubik's Cubes

#

and then I learned to solve after so I could race the robot

viscid venture
#

I don't have the brain capacity to solve a rubix cube

LESGOOOOO

toxic solstice
#

🤔

serene eagle
#

went to bed early

toxic solstice
#

what would be a good general name for "add to server" or "join server" or "install app" etc

serene eagle
#

Invite?

#

Invite to server

#

Invite Bot

#

i'm assuming you are talking about for bots, I feel like Invite makes sense to me

toxic solstice
#

doesn't cover "join server" for servers

serene eagle
#

oh gotcha

toxic solstice
#

I like "Engagements"

serene eagle
#

you want something that covers all of them

toxic solstice
#

but it feels too generalized

#

yeah it's for the creator dashboard

#

so I want it to not feel like we need to redo the name for each thing

serene eagle
#

That's a tough one

toxic solstice
#

i guess i'll go with engagements for now

serene eagle
#

only thing I can think of is "Button Clicks" but i don't like that lol

toxic solstice
#

conversions is also something

#

installs works i guess in an app environment

#

but not for servers

serene eagle
#

yeah

toxic solstice
#

activations also could work

#

engagement works for now

sullen bridge
toxic solstice
#

connections i've thought of but it feels like it's a persistent thing

#

there's not a guarantee that someone stays on the server for example

sullen bridge
#

interactions?

#

sorry what is this for KEKW

toxic solstice
#

interactions could work yes

#

analytics tab lol

sullen bridge
#

ohh

toxic solstice
#

we have views, votes and ???

serene eagle
sullen bridge
#

engagement and interaction both sounds nice

toxic solstice
#

yuhyuh

#

v happy with progress on analytics

#

im deploying the microservice to fetch analytics today

serene eagle
sullen bridge
#

what it look like?

toxic solstice
#

no UI work done yet

sullen bridge
#

o

toxic solstice
#

soon

#

need to write the apis first hahah

sullen bridge
serene eagle
#

you should make it look like hacking in a 90s movie

#

@toxic solstice I got you guys

#

new ad

#

I expect to see this on my tiktok fyp from topgg

toxic solstice
#

sora moment

#

the sad truth is with all these jump cuts, it would probably work on kids dead it watches like a prime-time car salesman from the 80s mixed with cocomelon

#

i really hope that was your prompt lol

serene eagle
#

I made chatgpt make the prompt

#

it's as much ai as it possibly could be lol

#

"Create a 30-second humorous, high-energy video ad for top.gg, the ultimate website for discovering Discord bots and servers.

Scene 1 (0–5s) — A chaotic Discord chatroom filled with messages flying by. A confused Discord user (cartoonish 3D style) yells, “I just wanted a music bot, not world domination!” Funny sound effects and exaggerated motion blur.

Scene 2 (5–10s) — Suddenly, a bright beam of light shines down from above. A cool narrator voice says, “Introducing top.gg — your one-stop shop for all Discord bots and servers!” Show the top.gg logo descending like a superhero landing, surrounded by sparkles and confetti.

Scene 3 (10–20s) — Quick montage:
• Funny clips of different bots doing their jobs — a “Music Bot” DJ-ing at a tiny virtual club, a “Moderation Bot” wearing sunglasses and banning trolls with a rubber stamp, and a “Gaming Bot” holding a joystick yelling “Victory!”
• Show ratings, upvotes, and people clicking “Vote” with epic sound effects.

Scene 4 (20–25s) — A person browsing the top.gg site with dramatic lighting, whispering “I’ve found it… the perfect bot.” The screen glows angelically.

Scene 5 (25–30s) — The narrator returns: “top.gg — discover, vote, and conquer your Discord world!”
End with the top.gg logo, upbeat electronic music, and a funny on-screen disclaimer:
“Warning: excessive bot discovery may lead to ultimate server power.”

Style: Bright, dynamic, slightly chaotic, with smooth animation and meme-like humor.
Voice: Energetic narrator with comedic timing.
Mood: Fun, techy, and community-driven — fits the Discord culture.
Visual references: Discord UI elements, holographic effects, neon lights, emojis flying across the screen."

Sob_pray insane

serene eagle
#

How's it going in general veld? I know you're working on analytics, what else is going on?

#

life going well?

toxic solstice
#

life is going

#

lots of things are a bit unsure in life right now

#

but im doing my best to push forward

serene eagle
#

I get that

toxic solstice
#

I've been mostly just been locked in on getting this huge update out

#

but it's like

#

every time i feel like i can take a bit of time to relax, my next big idea pops up

#

and then im back into lock-in mode :p

#

i want to do a big update near the end of the year

#

and i have a few blockers for that

#

so im just kinda going through it as fast as i can

#

but it's a lot

serene eagle
#

We've been wondering why these older families making less than us can stay afloat so easily and we struggle financially, found out that these people with a house worth double ours, have house payments that are half ours 😭 Born in the wrong generation for sure lol

serene eagle
topaz anchor
#

goodmorning chat

serene eagle
#

I'm like, now I want another chicken coop

toxic solstice
#

my house payments are insane...

serene eagle
#

but that means I need to build a chicken coop and fence lol

#

yeah mine swallow a whole paycheck just about

toxic solstice
#

genuinely considering moving to a middle of nowhere

#

morning woo!

topaz anchor
toxic solstice
#

ohh

serene eagle
#

we got land with my in laws out in the country I'm looking forward to moving to. Closer the the city, the more insane the price

toxic solstice
#

i like being just outside a big city

serene eagle
#

Don't got to do it all alone

toxic solstice
#

yeah but also

#

top.gg is kinda like beyond that scale where i feel like i can ask for help without paying people lol

serene eagle
#

that makes sense lol, it's pretty large. But I'm sure some wouldn't mind volunteering. I mean, you don't pay yourself iirc 😅

toxic solstice
#

i do not yet

#

but i should soon pepeSad

#

im living off of savings rn

#

its just better to re-invest into the business while i can lol

viscid venture
#

the savings in question

formal stump
#

@toxic solstice Join me and ez money

toxic solstice
#

unfortunately a dutch job would barely cover my mortgage payment lol.

formal stump
#

fair

polar tendon
#

come to Dallas but live in one of the further-away suburbs

#

Pretty affordable still for some areas

formal stump
#

Really? Even a SSE at Uber or Booking?

toxic solstice
#

I tried to get to US for three years KEK

toxic solstice
#

that could mean two roles bestie

#

Staff / Senior

#

but i told both recruiters that I would only really be interested in staff level roles

formal stump
#

Yeah I mean Senior

polar tendon
#

How much does something like that pay in the EU?

formal stump
#

Booking has no Staff Engineer idk about Uber

#

Pay is pretty poo compared to US

polar tendon
#

I’ve heard that EU salaries are significantly less than US

formal stump
#

Unless you go to a few big ones

polar tendon
#

But go further in terms of purchasing power obv

formal stump
#

But then half of it goes to the government :)

peak mirage
polar tendon
#

I saw a staff swe role in the EU for like 60k euros a year

#

Is that normal

formal stump
#

In smaller companies yes

polar tendon
#

Jesus

formal stump
#

Uber and Booking here pay considerably more for that role

#

Like big tech pays way more obv but typical tech companies do not pay anywhere near

polar tendon
#

Staff swe here at any reputable company is like 250k+ lmao

toxic solstice
#

yeah

formal stump
#

Haha not here

toxic solstice
#

here its like 180k

#

still decent

formal stump
#

Yeah

polar tendon
#

Hell my new grad offer is 100k TC

toxic solstice
#

yeep

#

welcome to the USA

#

we live in a second rate bargain bin world

formal stump
#

lul

polar tendon
#

I’m in the process of interviewing for some companies where TC would be like 150k

formal stump
#

So senior would still be tough Veld?

toxic solstice
#

just not worth it

formal stump
#

Fair

toxic solstice
#

if i want i can pay myself a full salary from top then

polar tendon
#

It’s cool to be your own boss too

toxic solstice
#

i like the freedom yeah

polar tendon
#

I think some people don’t see how valuable that is

toxic solstice
#

so i will always work hard to defend it lolol

glad crag
polar tendon
#

Plus you’re technically not capped to some sort of promotion cycle

toxic solstice
#

i removed like a lot of ads from top.gg

polar tendon
#

You get out what you put in

toxic solstice
#

so maybe its time to bring them back pepe_evil

serene eagle
polar tendon
#

Hell yeah

toxic solstice
#

but in all seriousness

polar tendon
#

You’ve worked hard on top for a while, might as well see some return

serene eagle
#

Veld, it's not an unrecognized sacrifice you are making

toxic solstice
#

i would prefer to get the money back from internal advertising

#

like auctions

#

that's a better path for everyone

#

than blasting the site with ads

serene eagle
#

reinvesting into the business instead of yourself to better the product for users will be worth it

toxic solstice
#

it'll be good yeah

#

soon analytics will actually load again

#

current query for all my bot's data is 10ms

#

all realtime

serene eagle
#

That's what we are doing for our business now. I haven't taken a paycheck for anything yet, and pay some out of pocket still

toxic solstice
#

yeah

#

i wish i didnt buy a house tho LOL

serene eagle
#

but in a few years I expect to have the ability to make the choice

toxic solstice
#

i guess though

serene eagle
glad crag
toxic solstice
#

the idea that my payments will go down over time rather than up is what is worth it

#

how much what?

#

its an expensive house ngl lol

serene eagle
#

after my mortgage I have like $200 leftover after my 2 week paycheck lol

toxic solstice
#

that's rough

polar tendon
#

Man I’m trying to buy a house but it’s so damn expensive to get anything long term

toxic solstice
#

yeah

#

housing prices in US are falling tho

polar tendon
#

Rates are like 6.8%

toxic solstice
#

i would recommend waiting a bit

polar tendon
#

Not where I live 😭

serene eagle
toxic solstice
#

ohh fair

serene eagle
#

lol our house has raised in value $20k in the past year we've owned it lol

polar tendon
#

My mom bought a house for 170k about 10 years ago, that same house was just sold (we sold it a while back to someone else) for 450k

serene eagle
#

Im tempted to sell just to get the $20k lol

polar tendon
#

And it was a piece of shit house built in the 60s

toxic solstice
#

dude if i could buy a house for 170k

polar tendon
#

They found beer cans from the 70s in the walls of the house when we had some work done

serene eagle
toxic solstice
#

i would've laughed my ass off

glad crag
#

my parents have another house, the one i grew up in.. its like 600$/m for rent crazy how renting it now is 2k+ here now 😐

polar tendon
#

Most houses my wife and I are looking at are in the 600k+ range

#

So it’s gonna be a while

toxic solstice
#

yeah rent is also crazy

serene eagle
#

we bought ours for $205k I believe. Cheapest we could find that didn't have us in too dangerous of an area

toxic solstice
#

its because governments allow people to treat houses like investments

serene eagle
#

real estate investors suck

glad crag
#

two houses for less than 1500$ a month where now people pay rent and cant own 😐

polar tendon
#

The biggest problem here is that most people will renovate their house before selling, but they’ll do a cheap job on it and sell it for 200k more than it’s worth

serene eagle
#

and all the old farmland is being developed, so it's been hard to get our hands on some to farm

#

finally got some, but not enough for our goals. Just land is going for $20k an acre easy

#

some up to $30k

polar tendon
#

Home ownership is just so expensive now

#

Seems inaccessible

serene eagle
#

so we can get as much help with our construction loan from the equity as possible

polar tendon
#

Trying to get the most out of it isn’t the problem, it’s when people do a “remodel” but they cheap out on everything

serene eagle
#

now not $200k lol

polar tendon
#

I toured multiple houses that had paint on the flooring

#

Holes in the walls

serene eagle
#

yeah, and idk that I'd remodel much. I'd probably just plant new grass where our chickens are right now, patch some holes I had to cut in the ceiling, etc

polar tendon
#

Sticky door handles bc they painted over the mechanism on the door

serene eagle
#

had to cut out a section to fix a bathroom drain leak, haven't patched it yet

serene eagle
#

especially in older houses

polar tendon
#

I toured a house that had like half of their fence completely missing and the realtor was like “I think the seller is negotiable on the fence”

#

And that house was listed for 625k

#

Investor property too, hence why it was a crappy job

#

Their driveway was also completely smashed into pieces

versed wind
#

He

polar tendon
#

You would think that people would have a bit of shame for listing a house for 625k that is worth more like 400-450k

serene eagle
#

yeah we bought from an out of state house flipper

#

so we had a long list of things we wanted them to fix, and negotiated the price down $30k

polar tendon
#

Thankfully my wife is a realtor so she knows what’s good to buy and what isn’t

#

(Plus we get basically a 3% discount since she’ll get a commission on whatever we buy)

serene eagle
#

our realtor is one of our closest friends, so he wS helpful

serene eagle
#

it was fantastic

polar tendon
#

Yeah seller usually pays commission

serene eagle
#

yeah the tough part was them agreeing on closing costs

polar tendon
#

Yeah that’s a tough sell

serene eagle
#

they didn't agree at first but they've been struggling to sell due to the area

polar tendon
#

Closing costs are several thousand too

serene eagle
#

oh yeah

#

I think ours was $5k-6k

#

somewhere in there

polar tendon
#

Some of the fees are kinda crazy

#

Title company makes way too much money just for transferring the title to your name lmao

serene eagle
#

next up will be construction loan, going to see if I can get some government agriculture help on it to save us money

polar tendon
#

Hell yeah

#

Good luck, hope you get what you need!

serene eagle
#

I want the government to help ME for once

toxic solstice
#

what crops do you farm?

#

or only cattle?

serene eagle
#

I could claim native american and get some extra, but I don't want to go through the process of proving it with DNA

polar tendon
#

Might be worth it

toxic solstice
#

tbh if I was a farmer in the US rn i would be fucking mad

polar tendon
#

I’ve got a friend that’s like 1/32nd Cherokee and gets free healthcare in Oklahoma for it

toxic solstice
#

with the whole situation with China

polar tendon
#

Or maybe it’s Chickasaw

#

One of those two

serene eagle
# toxic solstice what crops do you farm?

right now we are suburban farm until we move onto the land. The land is purchased, just planning out logistics of timing to start building.

Right now we do smaller scale, so some produce, eggs, and meat chickens. Then some baked goods. Oh and microgreens. The goal is to do primarily cattle and meat chickens, and maybe some goats, then depending on how much land we can lease/get our hands on, I'll grow some hay and corn to use as feed

serene eagle
polar tendon
#

Farming is a tough job, props to you man

serene eagle
#

I'd have to do the math again

#

I know it was more than 1/10

#

I'm at least 1/4, maybe more if my Dad has any on his side

#

but I don't look it

serene eagle
# polar tendon Farming is a tough job, props to you man

right now our toughest place is the financial side. It barely breaks even, so it is difficult to try and upscale at all. Once we get more, we'll get more income, but again, I won't be able to pay myself if I want to grow at all

polar tendon
#

Yeah

serene eagle
#

and just business

#

I suck at social media

#

I am not creative enough

polar tendon
#

Running a business and running a farm at the same time is probably pretty damn tough

serene eagle
#

yeah

#

plus the 8 hours at my 9-5 job to afford running it lol

polar tendon
toxic solstice
#

you know

#

i'm pretty proud of the infrastructure behind top nowadays

serene eagle
#

It runs really well and smooth

#

seems to not be many outages

toxic solstice
#

its a lot

serene eagle
#

Is it on the cloud?

toxic solstice
#

yeah

polar tendon
#

Definitely a huge improvement over the old versions of the site

serene eagle
#

was it affected by AWS outage?

toxic solstice
#

nope! we're on gcp

serene eagle
#

niceee!

polar tendon
#

I’m honestly surprised that so many huge sites were affected

toxic solstice
#

we have a LOT of microservices lol

serene eagle
#

my bot is on AWS but ran fine

polar tendon
#

You’d imagine that they would have the ability to spin up new instances on a different provider than AWS or even on just a different region

toxic solstice
#

its kinda crazy yeah

serene eagle
polar tendon
#

Like Canvas being down is insane

toxic solstice
#

but also i would assume that most mega companies wouldn't just be on a single cloud

#

like if top.gg was 10x larger I would genuinely consider multi-cloud architecture :x

polar tendon
#

You would think that they would use something like terraform to be a little more provider agnostic

serene eagle
#

Our company is multi-cloud, but primarily uses a specific one

#

but I'm not sure if we do DR environments over different cloud spaces. I'm sure we could push a backup to a different platform though

#

a majority of our stuff is in our own data center though

polar tendon
#

Honestly im not sure what my company used

#

I was so far abstracted away from cloud infra

#

It’s either AWS or on prem

#

Probably a mix of both

serene eagle
#

I dip my toes in a bit of everything that touches our products as an appsecurity engineer

polar tendon
#

I wish I had the opportunity to dive into more important tech honestly

#

My job over the summer was fun but I didn’t get the chance to do everything I wanted to do

serene eagle
#

i'm required to stay up to date lol. I get paid to spend a portion of my day reading new blog posts

#

and listening to podcasts

polar tendon
#

My job right now is definitely more directly impactful to a client facing app, but it’s just web dev :c

#

(And I’m being forced to use PHP against my will)

serene eagle
#

web devs hate me

polar tendon
#

That’s because web dev is so easy to make insecure since the bar for entry is so low

serene eagle
#

the part they hate is the back and forth trying to get them to fix the issue

polar tendon
#

My senior design project teammates pushed code that directly connected our react frontend to my database

#

Instead of using the API I had already written

serene eagle
#

oh how fun lol

polar tendon
#

Truly genius

#

Broke every single rule of SWE and exposed my connection string all in one go

#

Anyways I’m heading back to bed since it’s early in the morning and I can’t be bothered to wake up fully yet

#

Cya guys!

serene eagle
#

Adios

#

@toxic solstice do you have any advice on business growth? I know industries are quite different, but any advice big or small is appreciated 🙂

toxic solstice
#

great question

#

it would be really hard to give you advice without sounding super vague

serene eagle
#

vague is better than nothing

sullen bridge
#

get close to veld, make him give you top.gg, ez business growth

toxic solstice
#

since i don't really know much about your market, what your customers care about, what the landscape looks like, etc

#

generally, think long-term. prepare for short-term

#

what i mean with that

#

actions you do today, should have a longer term impact other than "this will give me more things to do now"

serene eagle
#

So plan for long term, but do the work for short term more or less?

toxic solstice
#

yeah your short-term work should build towards the long-term goals

#

what you do now should drive you to your end goal, small steps

#

I feel like for me, a lot of people have a hard time understanding why I do certain things on top.gg in this sequence

#

it can feel a bit random sometimes

#

like im jumping between features all the time

#

but in my head I have a long term vision planned, and all the pieces need to be in place to execute it

#

sometimes its better for me to launch something that's a little bit wonky in favour to make sure the work in the future can be way better

serene eagle
#

Long term I want to get a herd of cows, do more meat chickens, and grow into a meat provider pretty much. In my short term, I am working on upping our chicken count so we can become more known by the community for more "animal" product like eggs and chickens. While researching and documenting plans for "how can we merge into the direction we want in the meantime," and planning what cost and logistics would look like

toxic solstice
#

yeah that's great

#

what can you do to get there

#

short-term

serene eagle
toxic solstice
#

basically yeah

#

another piece of advice i can give

serene eagle
#

That's how my wife is with me right now lol. She knows my end goal, and likely thinks all my short term plans are super random lol, but she trusts me as her business partner. I do a majority of the business work other than baking, so she can take care of the babies 😁

toxic solstice
#

keep your fingers on the pulse, but don't get obsessed by it

#

understand your numbers, what drives each value; invest in understanding it better

#

why do people like your eggs over your competitors'

#

but you don't want it to become a stress point

#

some weeks things will be worse

#

and that's okay

#

if you know why numbers are the way they are you will know to not be bothered by them

serene eagle
#

gotcha, thank you!

toxic solstice
#

That being said I’m not a business person

#

I just like to build and I’m forced to think about business stuff

serene eagle
#

that's where I am. I just like to farm, but I need to be able to sell our stuff somehow

shell plover
toxic solstice
#

holy what a feast

serene eagle
#

that'll last them a few days

#

I need to get them a new feeder, raccoon broke their last one. I'm holding off until we get our next coop built though, or snow, whichever comes first

#

I'll probably make one out of a 5 gallon bucket

toxic solstice
#

🦝

serene eagle
#

stupid trash pandas

#

they like to eat the chicken feed

plain blaze
#

How do I verify

hollow tundra

yall is this tuff or nah

serene eagle
serene eagle
hasty pike
serene eagle
#

I would maybe credit topgg at the bottom then

#

I personally feel like it is unfair to TopGG to get their hosting and their data pulled and shown off as your bot's own data. That my pov at least

hasty pike
#

i js have some problem it cant search for its bot id so i have to add it manually

hasty pike
#

it doesn't only search in top.gg it sesrch all over the website

serene eagle
#

gotcha. Maybe add a clause where it cites the source somewhere

polar tendon
#

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this basically just ChatGPT with extra steps?

polar tendon
#

I mean, if it's grok then it's technically still GPT

hasty pike
#

i mean not all ai are gpt..

hollow tundra
polar tendon
hasty pike
polar tendon
#

Almost all LLMs are either BERT or GPT

#

GPT is the architecture, it's not just ChatGPT

hasty pike
#

well than ye its gpt

polar tendon
#

Generative Pre-trained Transformer

hollow tundra
#

Generative predictive text or whatever it's called

#

Oh I was way off lmao

hasty pike
hollow tundra
#

Not something I can answer. Check our guidelines

hasty pike
#

oh come on bro..

marsh wharf
hollow tundra
#

Not against our bot guidelines afaik

hasty pike
#

your in support team so ig you should know thats why I asked you

polar tendon
#

I mean that's kind of a question about intellectual property, and Veld owns the site

#

That question is kind of hyper-specific so I don't imagine anyone on support would really know lol

hasty pike
#

well than its not against it than ama keep goin

serene eagle
hasty pike
#

ye I give up on that bot.. cant add all bots id manually

umbral gulch

#

hi

west ledge
#

hi

polar tendon
#

This ML project is going to be the end of me

#

The code itself is easy but it takes literally hours to run

bitter cloud
#

@safe galleon Interesting discord bot btw

serene eagle
#

what is it?

hasty pike
bitter cloud
#

Every latest AI can

hasty pike
#

ye but it also costs money so i js made one by my self

bitter cloud
#

How are you going to pay for the tokens using your AI api?

hasty pike
#

you js said my api key i wont pay for my own api key bro

hasty pike
bitter cloud
#

I'm just asking

hasty pike
bitter cloud
#

Not sure what you're trying to say with using others API,

hasty pike
hasty pike
polar tendon
#

This still doesn’t make any sense

bitter cloud
#

Was about to say that

#

Okay so you made your own API key?

polar tendon
#

You mean like hosting your own model?

bitter cloud
#

How than

hasty pike
#

yes

bitter cloud
#

Ah

hasty pike
#

code it easy

bitter cloud
#

But this still has to be hosted

hasty pike
#

took about month and half

polar tendon
#

So you’re self hosting a smaller LLM model that’s open sourced then

hasty pike
#

ye kind a

polar tendon
#

Probably going to cost you more money in the future if you intend on using an actual host

#

Those GPU clusters aren’t cheap

hasty pike
#

dw already saved some money for that

bitter cloud
#

Interesting

hasty pike
#

imagine having your own ai at age 15..

polar tendon
#

It’s like 80 dollars a month for a very weak GPU cluster btw

#

Compute is expensive

hasty pike
#

nah there some that are cheaper

polar tendon
#

That’s why ChatGPT and all these other models have APIs for their models

#

Because it’s usually cheaper on a smaller scale for people to just pay the usage fee

#

You do you, but if the host is cheap, it’ll probably be really slow for hosting an LLM

bitter cloud
#

Waffle is like reading my mind each time I want to type

polar tendon
#

lol

bitter cloud
#

Like I'm trying to say the same thing here

hasty pike
#

hosting doesn't cost me money but selling api key is gona cost

polar tendon
#

Hosting is going to cost you money unless you intend on hosting it entirely on your personal hardware

hasty pike
#

hosting doesn't cost me Cent bro..

polar tendon
#

I’m not sure what you mean by API key here, you are selfhosting a model, there is no API key

bitter cloud
#

This sounds a bit odd

hasty pike
bitter cloud
#

I'm interested in how you figured it could be cheaper, though?

hasty pike
#

do you even know how to make ai

#

you do know how it works right?

polar tendon
#

No, I do not know how to make an LLM from scratch

#

But I do know that hosting a model is not the same as making it yourself

bitter cloud
#

I personally don't use AI

#

Maybe for errors lol

polar tendon
hasty pike
#

i mean for Web ye but not for api keys

hollow tundra
#

just pay the really really cheap charge for something like mistral tiny 042_boohoo

polar tendon
#

You’d essentially be renting out hardware at that point, it’s just exchanging compute power for money

bitter cloud
#

He found the matrix key to escape

polar tendon

I’m assuming your model is just some random hugging face model with a few billion params, still not cheap to run

#

The one I’ve got to talk about AI

#

The formative (basically just where we upload what we have for feedback) is due at 23:59 today, assignment is due on the 3rd, I’ve not written anything for it because I still can’t wrap my head around it

How's it going Derek

hollow tundra
#

im a SLACKER 042_boohoo Got stuff i should do that i aint

#

how about you?

serene eagle
#

same. But part of it is we've got my sister staying with us right now, and a toddler who always needs watched lol

#

got a knife I need to finish off, fences to move, a new chicken coop to build, and probably need to redesign our farms website. I just don't have time to play web dev unfortunately

#

our current base site is almost fully chatgpt generated due to lack of time

#

but our business isn't profitable to justify paying a web dev 😅

#

one of those things where you have so much you need to do, that your natural response is responsibility paralysis lol

hollow tundra

been to counseling for anger issues, closest to therapy I'll go

#

We also believe I have PTSD, but it's not extreme enough to cause anything more than heavy panic attacks

hollow tundra
#

oh dang yeah gotcha, does not sounds very fun

serene eagle
#

doesn't happen often. Usually takes a trigger or memories

peak mirage
#

Mine causes me to not sleep bc nightmares, my anti sad meds help me sleep but not always hence why I have “bad nights” as I call them

serene eagle
#

mine also can affect sleep as well. But I have general insomnia as well

peak mirage
#

Besides sleep, only other time it affects me is if something triggers it

serene eagle
#

my biggest trigger is the scent mix of "devils lettuce" and beer, specifically modelo

peak mirage
#

Dunno what my tutor is gonna say when he finds out I’ve not touched the assignment (I told him like two weeks ago I didn’t understand it)

#

My biggest trigger is a specific person trying to interact with me

serene eagle
#

Mine is a specific type of person interacting as well, however it can seem insensitive to talk about

#

not race related to be clear

peak mirage
#

Makes sense

#

It’s fascinating that there are so many triggers people don’t realise can be triggers though

serene eagle
#

I had some violent run ins with squatters at rental properties I did maintenance for, multiple times, and have also been jumped by a similarly situationed person

serene eagle
#

I'll be driving and something will flip and I feel my heart rate increasing drastically

peak mirage
#

It sucks

serene eagle
#

Thankfully my wife and I were at least friends during the experienced trauma, so she semi understands when I say something gets to me

#

and we are together almost all the time, so if I need to step away from a situation to balance myself out, she can do the explaining for me most places

peak mirage

That’s good!

Its not bad but I dont think they should be on the same tab.

polar tendon
#

I knew hetzner was cheap but I didn’t know it was THAT cheap

#

I guess the downside is that your server is in Germany

topaz anchor
#

You can get them in the US

#

just not cost optimized

polar tendon
#

More expensive I assume

#

Yeah

Still not awful

Better cores, iirc they're more performance per dollar

I need to dip my toes into cloud infra more, I’m just too cheap to pay for anything

hetzner is a good platform for it, charged hourly not monthly.

I wonder what kind of profit margins they have vs other companies like AWS or digital ocean. I've been crashing out lately by how prices are rising for a lot of companies or they remove quality while not changing prices (looking at AI degradation being done on purpose)

for stuff like aws they target the customer thats happy to pay a bit more in exchange for their resources abiding by strict laws and regulations for certain sectors

i dont think hetzner's too concerned about that so they can keep the prices lower

Hetzner chill

Also nice cloud management ui

they are also very protective of their ips and servers against abuse so you can safely run a mail server on them without being blacklisted for spam
