So what does this mean? Bc like (at least with my boss) whenever I submit ai generated code at work I still have to have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the changes that I made, and I have to be right (meaning I have to be right about what I say bc I cannot say the AI solved the problem). What’s the difference between that and me writing the code myself (+googling and stack overflow)?
The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.
If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.
I wish Rocket Chat got more attention
I built a custom keyboard, and I used the Mac version of the meta key instead of the windows key. Now that buttons serves as $mod for i3
My dad got me started programming when I was 12. He gave me the “introduction to c# copyright 2002” (dm me for the isbn if you want, I’ll have to find it later). I might have done 10% of the book before I kind of got bored and started doing whatever the fuck I wanted. By age 16 I got my first job, and then in college I always had some sort of contract… nowadays I’m working full-time.
All I have is that anecdote to say no… I really hope other people have had better experiences than me.
But if my anecdote helps then you could have potentially three to four years of teaching them how to problem solve as a skill before you teach them how to program. I’m grateful for the problem-solving skills my dad gave me.
I’m also really grateful that my elementary School taught us how to type properly
I love sidogen/aichat a lot. It’s really intuitive and easy to put in bash scripts.
The windows machine was keeping secrets and refusing to do what I tell it
I want to run some code, let’s have a discussion about admin privileges and finding the correct shell app and oh shit “something went wrong”
Linux just doesn’t say no, if I do something wrong it tells me exactly why it was wrong. So I guess visibility is why I jumped
It’s basically a pattern of:
Me: I have a problem and I need help fixing it
Other: ok but what’s the problem
Me: I can’t do this for some reason
Other: you’re wrong for wanting to do that when you can just do this instead besides you’re dumb and stupid and wrong and you should just deal
So I’d just keep changing things until my computer did what I wanted. I’d be fine using a Mac or windows if and only if it was ok to ask for help (meaning that I got to a point with a problem where I can’t move forward anymore myself and the only 2 options are to give up or ask for someone to contribute something that makes it so I can make progress)
3 - voice assistants. wether done on device or phoning into our home servers and having requests processed there, this should be doable and integrated with convenient shortcuts. Home assistant has some things like this, and there’s good-old Mycroft blowing around out there still. Siri is used every day by plenty of people and she sucks. If that’s the benchmark I think our community can easily meet that.
Of all the things that my phone is supposed to be able to do this is the one thing I never touch. It has never worked better for me than just doing it with my own two thumbs.
Does anyone actually use their voice to control their phone (not voice typing)?
So Activpub needs an actor with an inbox and outbox to send and receive content. A did is a virtual actor that reroutes to a real actor and collects content across real actors.
Gpg public keys have a dedicated email address field. And if you don’t want to share your “real” email address then just make a new one. (edit) Or don’t include one.
And the did stores ur profile picture a public key display names bio etc etc.
Yeah that’s a pain point I experienced with Gpg armored packets, I couldn’t figure out a way to pack in a PFP. Even shrinking it to 64x64 made the public key file feel too heavy. So I just decided profile pics are out of scope and you should just use gravatar.
U could use pgp as the key in the did if the devs want to support it as a cryptography protocol. The did is also used to sign each message similar to pgp. U simply need more functionality than what pgp provides.
I 80% agree. I do wish PGP armored packets had extra fields and if that’s an RFC that could be sent to the Gnupg maintainers then gpg would be absolutely perfect but I haven’t gotten around to figuring that out. All things considered since GnuPG already exists and it’s already installable everywhere and it already works I figured I could just roll with it for userless atleast. I want to use GPG for all user authentication related concerns.
Whelp here I go again
I’ve been working on my own idea for what the “fediverse” should be, I’m calling it userless because I want to avoid users in the database and I wanna use GPG as the individuals identity because it already exists and can yes perfectly verify for me who created a post, I’m not sure why we need more than that.
I haven’t flushed the whole thing out yet and I plan to hand write proper docs for the protocol.
But GPG has been around since forever. I’ve been told that it’s too hard to use, it’s insecure, it’s too old. And when I use the thing I just don’t agree, there is nothing technically wrong with the product like it should be way more popular.
I am 100% open to exploring other equally zero effort alternatives if only I had the time CURSE being an adult (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ . Is there anything better I should use, hopefully using existing ssh keys please.
I still use sshfs. I can’t be bothered to set up anything else I just want something that works out of the box.
Oh my gawd what a README!! I’m on my phone and I was trying to scroll back to the top of it from the bottom and I just kept on scrolling… Holy shit I’m going to put this on my kanban board give it proper attention
I think maintaining mirrors and archives are important. It would be preferable to work with site admins but no one technically needs permission to web scrape so long as you do it respectfully and without causing service interruptions.
Honestly at this point I might go back to 9gag, like I just wanna scroll through funny memes
Love to see the flake.nix at the root of the project
I’m working on self-hosting my own LLMs.
I realized there are things I wanna talk about and research but I don’t want to send it to open AI. Frankly I feel gross about how much I’ve sent to open AI. My desktop is a beefy gaming rig that I don’t use for gaming much. I have a 20thread core, 64gb ram, an Nvidia gtx 3060 and 5 spare TB so why not.
Now I want to work on giving the LLM access to my Google calendar so it can create reminders for me. I’m sick of forgetting to think about remembering to do things so I hope if I can just ramble at the LLM about what I’m doing or what’s on my mind it can organize my thoughts. What else are these LLM actually for?
Nix is just across the street sipping tea because it understands what it is and is at peace with the chaotic world around it.
Half-Life 3 confirmed
Just saying it so it’s out there
