I have so many questions

Probably better to just stop writing code altogether, nothing good ever comes of it

What joy my life is, I've already fixed two regressions caused by late feature requests and it's not even noon yet.

Ikr 😭 Perfectly-sized cables reduce latency and think of how tidy it would look!

(*glances around the utter disaster zone that is my office and the pile of laundry that comprises its floor and the dumpster that comprises my desk; yes my problem is definitely cable management*)

Yeah I just realised the source of my poor connectivity is the upstairs WiFi repeater, if I disable that and let my upstairs desktop use the WiFi from the access point downstairs it's faster even with signal degradation. 😅

I have been talked out of the 500ft box of CAT6 cable :(

I did not! That looks really useful!

Still probably want some sort of cloud-hosted process for the firehose consumer because lord knows it wrecks my home bandwidth to run that locally

Bought entirely with Graze promoted post earnings! 💚

Figured reinvesting some of that back into XBlock couldn't hurt. I need to train a new version of the model soon so thought it's worth getting in on some sales.

Though tbh I'm still wondering whether using a Raspberry Pi with an AI HAT wouldn't work better, I'd love it if that's faster but I'd hate to blow £100 on a HAT and then still have to use a GPU in the end if it's not able to handle the workload.

Getting inference off of my old gaming PC would be such a win, half of XBlock downtime is due to the finicky network card on the machine combined with Windows 11 being an absolutely terrible OS to run a server on.
