drzzhan··on Nix in 100 Seconds [video]
Hi, thanks for your reply! Yeah I was thinking about something easier for developement. Currently I use docker for most of my pipeline. But if it is possible, I would want to try something else more flexible.

Docker has dockerfile and all but even in 2024 I still have to compile and build stuff inside docker and then run 'docker commit' because building package with Nvidia gpu checking during 'docker build' usually fail for me.

And maybe something free me from the curse of distro. Previously I tried to run omniverse with isaac lab in my pc. Fedora, ubuntu 24.04 all failed. Only ubuntu 22.04 works. Distrobox actually didn't solve that case for me. And Omniverse docker image from nvidia doesn't support GUI. So I have to reinstall ubuntu 22.04 to use it. But currently the gnome is glitching with ubuntu 22.04 and I have to alt+f2 and type r to reset it frequently. I am just too tired to do another reset so I am here venting and looking for something more flexible.

I'll look into nix.dev.

drzzhan··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Reading chapter 3 of taocp (in vol 2). Randomness sparks something in my brain for some reason. It's nice to see Knuth already said something about what is a random sequence.

Nix sounds cool. Nowadays when I dev my research, I usually use docker so that I can move my "machine" to any server in my lab. Not sure how I should fit Nix into my workflow.
drzzhan··on OpenAI just announced a new search tool. Its demo already got something wrong
Of course it would get something wrong. Everything is put into a probabilistic space and then get pulled out. Basically asking to draw a deterministic results from a non-delta distribution. I wonder why they manage to make OCR working well in their model but then suck at pulling links and quotes.
drzzhan··on Weekend projects: getting silly with C
I am so lost at the final block of code. Does every C developer have to deal with this everyday?
drzzhan··on Ask HN: As of July 2024, which Debian stable laptop can rival an M1 air?
AFAIK Nothing really. I can stretch my xps to 10 hours but my friend's m1 air can easily go up to a full day.
drzzhan··on Ask HN: Japanese peeps, what is with the flesh eating bacteria outbreak in Japan
I heard from my relatives about this too. I barely hear about it. I push it off but honestly I have no idea if it is serious or not.
drzzhan··on AI Wrappers: Why AI helpers for everyday jobs are a great idea
You know chatgpt has extension for specific usecase right? Or are you mentioning something else here?

Honestly I don't quite get what point you are making. If you are asking for confirmation, then yes, they are useful. You know a roomba vacuum robot is also an AI, and it is extremely useful.

drzzhan··on Andrej Karpathy on X: "100% Software 2.0 computer.Just a single neural net
This reminds me of people in the past comparing computers as another brain because circuit network is similar to brain. I guess it is not impossible to construct one neural net. But how to train them, modify them (to add more programs), maintain them (security purpose), and make sure they are correct will be impossible in the near future (in my view). It would be crazy to see a madlad tunes every neuron to make a proof of concept though.
drzzhan··on The EU regulates that by 2027, all phones be equipped with replaceable batteries
This is such a great change. Most of the time my friend changing phone is because of the battery. The battery is dead, the phone is old, and replacing battery service is expensive, so they might as well buy a new one. Now with this, we will have another option to just replace the battery ourselve and move on (Well unless the manufacturers don't sell them)
drzzhan··on Klára Dán von Neumann
Wow. I wonder what its like to mest JvN in person. How eccentric would he be?
drzzhan··on Overleaf: An open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor
Overleaf is awesome. Honestly I thought that syncing with git would solve any problem with collaboration, like with coding. I was wrong. Overlead collaboration feature works so well. And the compilation is fast too.

I never know they have open source though. I seriously did a google search "overleaf alternative self host" last month and didn't realize this.

drzzhan··on The economics of writing technical books
Awesome! I probably won't write book for money but at least I want it to be useful.
drzzhan··on Imhex: A hex editor for reverse engineers
I will just stick with 010 Hex editor for now. Still I will keep an eye on this.

What!! You gotta be kidding me
drzzhan··on Ask HN: What will you be working on over xmas?
Spend time with family after this exhausted year of a phd. Man it's getting so tough with this toxic environment.
drzzhan··on Ventoy
This piece of software literally solves all of my problems. Great tool!
drzzhan··on BrainGPT turns thoughts into text
What is it noise-to-signal ratio? Sorry I don't know much about the field but that sounds like something can shutdown ideas like "we can put eeg into transformer and it will work". So may I ask what reference papers that I need to know on this?
