kytazo··on Tips for programmers to stay ahead of generative AI

To be honest, there have been occasions where I've been failing miserably for some time to come up with solutions to some sysadmin nature problems with my own systems and I've taken my problem straight to GPT-4 with a clear explanation of the issue alongside with any diagnostics I thought would make sense.

To my very surprise, GPT-4 did an astonishing job reasoning on the specifics of my system (aarch64 exotic setup, alpinelinux on asahi) and came back with a very specific on point list of suggestions which included the very solution as #1.

I've had it hold my hand many times while navigating relatively complex and niche systems like android smartphones with custom partitioning schemes booting linux and what have you and yes, it still was still, very reasonable, to say the least.

So to conclude, it has the ability to reason properly for systems and situations that it's not necessary trained in and displays the ability for coherent reasoning on specifics over things which at least for September 2021 were relatively unknown. I'm really wondering how far this thing needs to get in order for some people to admit its more than a model spitting a token next to another, or some type of mentalist doing an excellent job in hypnotising most of us into thinking it already displays incredible intelligence but its smoke and mirrors.

Why is such arguably garbage showing up in the first page? Especially given the minuscule upvote count.

I'm wondering why this mostly happens with posts from big news outlets.

This is outstanding, personally I would immediately switch to it if it was an addon for zsh instead of a standalone new shell.

While I'm spending quite some time in my shell and the extend that its a core part of my system is quite considerable and makes switching to another shell altogether a huge time investment.

Nonetheless, I'll always keep an eye on promising alternatives and eventually switch over once the functionality missing gets apparent enough on a constant basis as it happened for me when switching from fish to zsh.

HN apparently won't let duplicate posts and since the first submission didn't really gain any traction thought I'd resubmit a video version of it so people catch up with what is most likely the state of the art in open source. As stated in the papper MS is going to release the model in a similar manner to llama, so this is definitely exciting news for many.

You can get a used M1 mini for more or less 400€. Get a glimpse of whats going on in your local facebook marketplace, most likely you'll come up with nice offers.

CPU wise at least its been on par if not better from its first days. At least this is what the various benchmarks at the time showed.

Makes you wonder about how the rest of the system components will compare when they're finished.

kytazo··on OpenGL 3.1 on Asahi Linux
Well overall if you sum up what even a basic m1 mb air packs, be it the panel, quality peripherals and soc itself its rather reasonable and within reach for almost anyone contemplating of buying a new computer. When you factor in that they were the first ones with an actual capable desktop arm offer I'd even say its cheap.

At least this is how I felt 2 years ago back when I bought it and more or less even to this day. I'm wondering how is the market as of now, two years later, and how the $1k arm laptops coming out today compare.

Its been more than a year I'm running asahi on my macbook air and I can't stress how grateful I feel for enjoying such wonderful freedom.

I don't feel like ever going back to x86 to be honest, at this point there is nothing lacking or unable to run and when the neural engine drivers come online now that the GPU is starting to mature people will be able to juice out every last bit of computation this machine is capable of.

For the record, I've switched to the edge branch a couple of months ago and honestly I noticed no actual difference in my day-to-day tasks which is really telling about how powerful even the M1 is when it can handle software rendering in such an effortless manner coupled with anything else running.

Really thank god for asahi being a thing.

kytazo··on GPT Best Practices
For the people downvoting, his work was literally where logic originates from. Not only he theorized about it but he also described the exact rules which define logic.

The origin of the very word Logic has its roots in that exact era as phrased at the time, by the very people who came up with its ruleset in the first place.

You may define logic otherwise but in the context of past occurrences they're more or less irrelevant.

I'm wondering why other manufacturers don't look like impacted as much from the covid supply chain disruptions as they pose to be in every given chance.
kytazo··on At last, the Raspberry Pi shortage is finally coming to an end
Yes but when you compare the TDP and compute/watt of such a system compared to an arm sbc it pales in comparison. Being fan-less hence much more compact is another thing they lack as well.

Not sure if rpis are that relevant as of now when there are so many other, usually more performant and overall compelling offers in the same form factor and upstream support to a certain degree.

kytazo··on A bacterial culprit for rheumatoid arthritis?
For me it was electricity, make sure you're not exposed to high currents and strong electrical fields. Especially things like a modern macbook charger plugged in is capable of producing fields up to 1000v according to the emf meter I got on hand.

My own experience is very consistent confirms it as well.

Check how can a two hour session where you get your body voltage close to 0 can reduce inflammation. Imagine the opposite effect, possibly multiples. https://yewtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU?t=1667

kytazo··on How to use Podman inside of a container (2021)
Sounds like android or what a modern linux distro should look like.

Sadly both most used userspace distros and the kernel they come with are borderline dangerous and shouldn't be any trusted by people using them, even if they're technical enough to feel comfortable within their environment.

kytazo··on Firefox may soon reject Cookie prompts automatically
Honestly those are more like gimmicks from an advanced user standpoint as the I still don't care about cookies extension does the job just fine as far as I'm concerned, and while this may indeed make a good headline or feature I think development may lack emphasis on the core of firefox and what makes it a good browser.

There is much more fundamental and core functionality missing which has been requested for years like this for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325692

In general it would be good having such functionality built-in, I guess they're gonna have to maintain it as well.

All and all, I'm glad to see any kind of progress on the browser and in any case wish them the very best.
