Make sure you tie it balanced!
They also have nice repository integration and subdomain support now
Pricing is also super reasonable for anything other than eg high high volume analytics use cases.
Curious if anyone else has experiences with it, honestly been surprised at how little I've heard about it
I'm particularly encouraged here by the tools and approaches chosen — Redis for matchmakers, ClickHouse for analytics/logs, Rust for speedy backend operations were tools I eventually came upon as best for the job after a long and painful process of iteration with inappropriate cloud dev tooling (with basically any datastore other than Redis you will run in to issues matchmaking).
High traffic/concurrency in matchmaking is a hard problem when you need fast, consistent matches. Existing industrial-sized matchmakers (Google's OSS OpenMatch, AWS GameLift, etc.) require locking in to a very specific format or spinning up an entire K8S cluster, which for game devops teams already stretched thing is a tall ask). And for all that effort, you may discover the performance characteristics of their approaches aren't what you need, or (as has happened to us with different game web service/API/middleware providers) they may choose to abruptly deprecate the service upon which you built.
Appreciate the dedication to making this available and the focus on helping gamedevs get up and running as fast as possible. Looking forward to playing around with Rivet and seeing where it might fit in our stack — & would love to talk shop on this with anyone since I've been tortured by / interested in these problems while trying to simultaneously run a game studio / make new games / keep everything online the last few years!
Homebrew clubs style—bring the half-baked experiments you've been tinkering with, we'll all learn something from it
I've been wondering this last year about the use case of compressing highly repetitive logs in a streaming fashion, and whether fine-tuning a model or combination of LLM / datastore might make a sort of adaptive online compression perform well (e.g. allowing central versioned coordination of compression steps/layers as they evolve)
I feel seen 120 years ago
I am hopeful massive LLMs/other models will be an enabler in recognizing and fostering everyone's talents, capabilities and interests in learning with detailed nuance. We'll soon no longer need to whittle down the education experience to fit through the eye of 20-40 needles[0] which all need to be snapshotted synchronized across a classroom like when TV episodes were only available at their exact weekly time slot. We've got like, I don't know, a trillion 32-bit resolution needles to work with now, I imagine we'll find significantly more nuanced and effective ways of learning[1] and organizing hiring/work collaboration with each other.
[0]: Or as the 1890 Scantron predecessor Hollerith Electric Tabulating System called the needle eyeholes, "keypunches"
[1]: Having worked over the years often on school/learning-supporting tech, and using GPT-4 to learn new things, it feels like, FINALLY! One-on-one instruction with direct attention has always been the most OP way of teaching/learning, but extremely cost-prohibitive. This could easily enable widespread hard-to-fathom outcome changes for students otherwise falling through the cracks of the one size fits all education model.

> We provide new estimates of an asymptotic upper bound on the entropy of English using the large language model LLaMA-7B as a predictor for the next token given a window of past tokens.
> Preliminary results from limited experiments suggest that our scheme outperforms state-of-the-art text compression schemes such as BSC, ZPAQ, and paq8h.
I'm curious, does Metal's version support do anything to solve the problem of "I originally embedded with model A, but now I'd like to take my same data and re-embed with a new model B"? I've heard from others this is a pain point and I've experienced it myself - it feels like there would be some value in storing the embeddings' source data in the cloud to one-click re-embed as well.
In addition to users reporting other users' summaries, this user and two others report seeing someone else's email address in their pay-to-upgrade flow: https://old.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/11wkw5z/has_chatgp...
> When I'm finally able to get the option to upgrade to Plus to work, the contact email is not the email address I used to subscribe. And you can't change it.
> EDIT: Got it to load again, and it's a completely different email address now. If I pay, who am I paying for?
Which all makes me feel like this could be APIs getting over-cached.

I swear every successful web company has had their cache leaking issues moment right after they've hit product market fit and began scaling up. They've made the big time!
Per GPTZero on the first few thousand characters https://gptzero.me/:
Average Perplexity Score: 632.205
A document's perplexity is a measurement of the randomness of the text
Burstiness Score: 1089.841
A document's burstiness is a measurement of the variation in perplexity
Its conclusion was "Your text is most likely human written but there are some sentences with low perplexities". There was only one sentence highlighted as possibly written by AI: "However, each tool has its pros and cons."
It's also possible to prompt ChatGPT to write with high perplexity and burstiness, so also decent chance of false negatives.
- normal scroll (instead of ctrl+scroll which is typically used for making text larger) for zooming in / out
- holding center mouse button to pan around (currently scrolls page instead)
The third friend's father was LIVID that our friend's name was besmirched by being placed in the contents of the pop-up, later threatened me over the phone, and put pressure on the school to throw the book at us (fulfilling his promise to "TAKE THIS TO THE MAT!"). My friend and I were suspended for a day and banned from visiting the high school computer club for some weeks.
From the district IT perspective the middle school's punishment somewhat backfired because news of our suspension resulted in many more students across the district learning about the command, greatly increasing the # of incidents and becoming a district-wide. They weren't able to figure out how to turn it off for a year+ after. As a temporary measure they made the printer in the high school library print out the originating computer of every net send message, which often backed up printer and caused the HS librarians (my mom happened to be the head one lol) to have to remove these useless sheets from the printer all day.
0/10 would not recommend glob experimentation
