Wide-ranging Tech Discussion: React, AI, Open-Source, and More
React Development:
- Someone is looking for React developers for a paid weekend project
- They ask for leads to be DM’d to them
Controlnet Inpainting:
- Someone asks if anyone has gotten the latest controlnet v1-1 nightly release models working with inpainting
- They mention that they have gotten the models working with multi controlnet, but not for inpainting yet
Azure Cognitive Search:
- Someone brings up MSFT’s recommendation to use Azure Cognitive Search with Azure OpenAI for enterprise document search in Azure
- They mention that it may be costly and ask for thoughts from the community on production level deployments
- Another person mentions the option of uploading document embeddings into a Vector DB and doing semantic search
- They share that they are currently using this method with Pinecone and have 10681 vectors in their DB
GPT-5:
- Someone shares a link to an article about rumors of OpenAI’s GPT-5
- Another person jokes that they have a friend called GPT-4 who is fairly reasonably priced
- Someone else mentions that they used Copilot for a project and it helped with a good chunk of front end code
LLM Output Time:
- Someone asks if anyone has figured out good ways to reduce time in getting output from an LLM
Bionic Reading Technique:
- Someone asks if anyone knows if there’s a mathematical formula to calculate highlighted words in bionic reading technique
- Another person shares a link to a Twitter thread that may be helpful
Open-Source Projects:
- Someone asks why open-source projects like Langchain raise money if their value proposition is the code
- Others suggest that it may be for managed services, enterprise support, or self-hosted and cloud-hosted strategies
- They mention examples like OpenSUSE, RedHat, and dbt cloud
AI for Crime Detection:
- Someone asks if anyone is familiar with AI for crime detection, specifically for loud noises
AWS CodeWhisperer:
- Someone shares that AWS has released their GitHub Copilot knockoff for free and it seems reasonably good
