  • hmm actually me uncle asked me if I want his 10" netbook from like 2012. But I said I'm gonna buy a better netbook. Now thinking... Look at all these pre-2017 macbooks! I mean we could do a cluster!

  • I have Synapse(Matrix) on Nano Pi NEO in me CV :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    oh and by the way, back then Synapse was much worse. I created few GBs of swap on microSD to get it installed :>

    Indeed NanoPi NEO is a lovely cute board. Who needs 64 bit? :>

  • Datahoarders, how many Linux ISOs do you actually have?

    Jump

  • I just checked. In me archive directory in OperatingSystems I've got a total of 40 files. However, now I remember I should delete so many of them as they are outdated or not needed anymore. Also not all of them are Linux ISOs. ~10 of them are BSDs.

    26 after deletion.

    6 BSD 1 Android x86 1 visopsys

  • As a member of the community, I won't have a problem if the interactions with LLMs are only with open source ones, and the conversation is available as open data to all, without restrictions. The same which CommonVoice does for Voice.

    Data matters so much that the companies keep it to themselves. And I absolutely don't want the data to be used for training models which enslave the developers and the people of this planet. The least is that data should be open to all, so the FOSS community would have a chance to use the data to contribute back to FOSS.

    Note that it doesn't matter if the model is open source. For Machine Learning the data matters as much as the code does, if not more. And in this case, data matters much much more. The code is widely available and can also get researched independently.

  • What's the problem with addiction? An addiction is bad if it harms you. I am addicted to espresso, me family, me little cousins, me dear close friend, the spaghetti me mother makes and so on.

  • Debian Testing as a daily driver - can anyone share their experience?

    Jump

  • Ello Ello.

    Before anything else, I want to make it clear that choice of distro is much personal. Like choice of editor, desktop environment, color and so on.

    I am a software developer, a game developer, and also an AI researcher. And I do need low level access to the machine. Not just because I would need to but also because I want to learn.

    For me Debian Testing didn't work out very well. I had it for Desktop usage. And most of the time, I wanted a newer version of the kernel or the software. On Debian the packages were either too new and unstable or too old. I then moved to Arch Linux which didn't work out either. The changes were way fast there. So now I'm on Alpine.

    There are other reasons I have chosen Alpine over Debian and Arch. One thing is systemd. Tho many people are fine with systemd, it didn't work out well for me. And as I want to learn about low level stuff on the OS, down to the kernel, Alpine is simpler.

  • I always have said. Open Source shouldn't mean free labor. I personally develop open source software and get paid. And I am really against advocating that because the project is open source, the maintainer is not supposed to get paid and do it in their free time, voluntarily, and as a hobby.

  • Even without vibe coding, writing an app from scratch has always been the easier/easiest part. The hard part is maintaining the app and keeping it alive over the years.

  • oh I thought this "one generation of suffering" only happens in me country! It happens in here for non technical stuff. When some new stuff gets widespread in me country for the first time, a lot of people misuse or abuse it. An example is telephone. Another is Internet itself. And lately, coffee has become widespread in here(Iran) and people don't know when to have an espresso and how many espressos per day is fine. There was a guy "I take 5-6 espressos per day and I'm fine".

    In a similar way, many people spend too much time on social media rather than doing something productive.

  • Currently I'm not using any LLM. I want to have it locally and haven't found a time to launch it yet. But I am not interested about their current state, but also their future state. Surrounded by a big hype "LLMs will replace human programmers", I want to emphasize what an LLM is fundamentally not capable of, no matter how much advanced and how many billion billion of parameters.

  • Friendly reminder that many drugs like heroin and morphin can be life savers if used correctly. Either directly or by changing some of its chemicals. For instance, when people have heavy surgeries, morphin is a life saver to evade the insane pain. Needless to say that many of such these or a production of them are used as meds for mental illnesses.

  • Of course I can do me research in any language. But what will be the ratio of the effort put on the algorithm itself and its testing? vs the time you have to implement and change the algorithm in that language?
