Through the fire and the flame we carry on
Through the fire and the flame we carry on


Hi dude,
Well, “Here is my entirely generated LLM tool” is clearly a red flag. I’m a software engineer for 20 years, I’ll try to explain you why it is a redflag for developpers.
First, how many gallon of water and kg of coal were used to generate it ? Using LLM has a real hidden cost.
3500 lines of code written in 1 week… Professional developers write around 10 to 100 lines a day. Why ? Because understanding a system takes time. Here, there are 3500 lines no one is able to explain. “It works” doesn’t mean “It works”. Building a software is not just about making it work in your own use case.
Github like platforms were created to collaborate. It is not possible to collaborate on a vibe coded application. There are too many code that were written too quickly. And without the whole prompt history, the model used, etc… it is not even possible to do “collaborative vibe coding”. Another agent with another prompt history won’t have the full context of application, and won’t be able to keep consistency.
Now, github, gitlab, codeberg, etc… are flooded by these kind of app, generate by a single person in a few days on which it is not possible to collaborate. OpenSource maintainer are flooded by AI Slope code, and more and more project are forced to become closed source, or to restrict contributions only to some user.
The developer of a software is the worst person ever to test it. There are cognitive bias that make the developer unconsciously avoid scenarios that can break the system. If only one developer built a product, I’m 100% sure I won’t be able to build and run it on my computer without trouble. And again, every vibe-coded application were built by a single person.
If your tool works for you and your friend, cool. But the real value of a source code is not the source itself. It’s the people that worked on it, that built a common understanding, that ran it in several environment, with several use case, and that makes it robust. So don’t be mad if no one want to test your code.


That moment you are so sarcastic everyone think you’re 1st degree…
That was supposed to be a joke.
Especially when the API is shit


Good luck !
I’ve tried 3 time signin to facebook using fake ID, I always ended up ban after a fews days because of “suspicious activities” (probably because of VPN or PiHole). It require a videos selfy to validate I’m not a bot. I tried to create one using genAI but it didn’t worked.


Use waifuAI to upscale my old p0rn collection sleeping deep inside that odly named directory for 20 years and think about the good old time of emule and razorback.


Meshroom is FOSS, relatively easy to use and works out of the box. It is industrial quality and is widely used in cinema and untertainment industry. So, I think it’s the go to if you want something robust and usable.
NVidia provide several reasearch software to do Radiance Field stuff on their github: https://github.com/NVlabs. They gives impressive results, but none of them is user friendly. It’s reasearch stuff.
The point of self hosting is not to engage people going in your server. The point of self hosting is to have control over your infrastructure. It’s like renting or buying a home.
When you buy a home, you don’t complain that no one wants to sleep in your home 😆


It’s a bit strange. On one side you talk about a project you work on, so I expect a repo on github or something, on the other side the link you post redirect to a product or a service you seems to sell.
It’s cool if you can make money with it, but to be more effective you might have to clarify your point.


I don’t even understand what that guy is trying to sell. Is it some kind of picture of a monkey ?


Poor internet connection/no internet at all, network latency too high for their needs, specific fine tuned LLM ?
Off course, main reason is privacy. My company host its own GPT4 chatbot, and forbid us to use public ones. But I suppose there are other legit use case to host its own LLM.


Maybe worth to mention that bitwarden also propose bitwarden.eu to host data in Europe. I’ve used bitwarden.com for years, and switch to bitwarden.eu a few month ago because of reasons, you know…
Brave.
Because I installed it when it was pre-alpha version. Ended up to an ugly window with just an addresse bar. I though “this shit will never worked, yet another utopistic project, too bad…”
Then, came back 2 years later, gave him a 2nd chance and “OMG ! They fucking did it !”. So I keep it as a redemption for not having believed in the project at first.
