  • Is the bootloader on the US version not unlockable? If so you can put whatever OS you want on it.

  • Why not posmarketOS?

  • Fairphone 6+ is now official and coming to the US

  • postmarketOS also works on the 6+

  • Is Python really that useless?

    Jump

  • I don't like python personally, but saying its useless is quite far detached from reality considering all the python projects.

    You can argue its slow and i would agree, but if people make alot of stuff with it its clearly not useless.

    A programing language cannot be better than another one because its personal opinion.

  • Do people seriously buy this?

    Schiffmann has also posted a series of user testimonial videos to his personal X account

    Like i can only assume these are fake, has anyone ever seen this actually used?

  • Sure there probably is a minimum somewhere, but most people are far above that minimum.

    Rebuilding a social platform – how to use an AI agent as a pair programmer, not a black box?

    Jump

  • It depends, do you want to learn or do you want to get something fast and don't care how?

    If you want to learn don't let AI write anything. Ask it questions if you don't understand, ask it to explain, but wrte everything yourself.

    If you want to get something that works and don't care how, make extensive tests. Use a minimum test coverage. Automaric AI reviewing the PR of the AI, And keep the agent going until it passes the CI.

    To awnser your question specifically read the plans very carefully. Most of the time the agents execute the plan fairly faithfully, you don't need to correct the code much if you make sure to read the initial plan very carefully and make changes on where it made a mistake.

    This does build on the fact that you can actually understand what its writing, if you can't, go with the first approach and don't use AI at all for writing code.

  • GPU bifurcation - options

    Jump

  • Yes, if you use layer parallelism. When using tensor parallelism PCIe bandwith is a very important factor.

  • Storage?! In this economy!?

    Jump

  • Ah ok, I've had these drives for a while now but ended up using SSDs instead so they just sat in my parts drawer reminding me of a bad purchase xd.

    Crazy how they are like 3x the price now from when i bought them in 2023

  • Do you happen to live in zuid holland?

    I have 2 unopened Seagate IronWolf ST4000VN006 that I'll be happy selling.

    No idea what a fair price or your budget would be. That is if you are interested in these drives to begin with.

  • Selfhosted & AI

    Jump

  • My 2 cents are that the issue is promotion not AI, if people started promoting stuff made without AI that would still be spam.

    From the rules:

    F/LOSS Exception: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & can be self-hosted in full without payment, your post is exempt from the 10% requirement. The exception does not exempt you from the account age requirement.

    I would propose making this the requirement and not an exception, forbid all promotion of closed source, and allow the 10% requirement for open source projects.

  • Why would anyone pay for this when documentation is readily available, even for non technical users?

    Installing something like textgen is as easy as downloading a single executable.

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

    Jump

  • Either the UI is defined in some DSL, that’s loaded (or compiled) and then you spend most of the time writing getElement(pathToElement) and wiring it up, or you have to boilerplate create each element and parent.addChild(element).

    Im saying "there are no elements" because of what OP says here, the system i'm using now doesn't have that.

    You have a panel+border+text “primitive” drawing functions. Nothing is stopping you from creating a single function that calls all 3 of those. You probably should, since it’s probably a common pattern. You could call it DrawBoxedText. There is no difference between a DrawBoxedText function and a BoxedText element with a draw() method.

    yeah i could make a function for that, but i would argue that "here is no difference between a DrawBoxedText function and a BoxedText element with a draw() method." there is a big difference between these. Personally i find using a function like DrawBoxedText much easier.

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

    Jump

  • I had my own library for UI that tried to have a element model, but it was bloated and didn't scale well. Now im drawing everything via vulkan compute shaders and its fast and looks great.

    I think the philosophy needs to switch from elements back to pixels, atleast that is what worked for me.

    i dare to say its as easy as webdev

    snippet from my game:

     cpp
        
DrawMenuButton(buf, btnExit, "Exit to title", exitHover, exitHover && window.mouseLeftHeld, false, font, topFontPx, exitCol);
DrawMenuButton(buf, btnSave, "Save changes", saveHover, saveHover && window.mouseLeftHeld, false, font, topFontPx, saveCol);
PushPanel(buf, titleRect, panelBgColor, 6.0f * s);
PushBorder(buf, titleRect, borderColor, 6.0f * s, 1.5f * s);
DrawText(buf, "OPTIONS", titleRect.x + titleRect.w * 0.5f, titleRect.y + titleRect.h * 0.5f + topFontPx * 0.32f, font, topFontPx, textUnfocusedColor, TextAlign::Center);

    this is in the draw function, and along with the other code produces this menu:

  • Replaced $40/month in AI API subscriptions with self-hosted Ollama + n8n

  • I'm running 2x4090, the 35B fits very comfortable in that.

    For large models like the 397B without a ton of money there are several ways, ive seen posts of people using arrays of used 3090s with good results.

    The other option is CPU inference although with current RAM prices that is less cost effective.

    I was looking at maybe an array of Milk-V JUPITER2 since vllm added riscv support which could be very cost effective.

  • Depending what OP was using before but going from something like GPT5.2 to LLama 3 8B will be a massive difference (Although OP says to use it only for basic tasks so that does offset it)

    LLama 3 already being a very old model doesn't help either

    I run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-AWQ-4bit which while leagues ahead of LLama 3 8B still is a very noticeable difference.

    This is not to say open source is bad, if one had the resources to run something like Qwen3.5-397B-A17B it would also be up there.
