It had a tough time updating today. Or this evening. It just wouldn't update. It actually just freaking disappeared from my MacBook. It took some googling and downloading and multiple tries to get it back and working. Because they also combine on a MacBook Codex with ChatGPT app. I guess codex became ChatGPT app or some silliness like that.
Fable was refusing to patch vllm for me when trying to get mtp to work on r9700 gpus. Kept on bumping down to opus. Tried to really sanitize my prompts and everything but it seemed intrinsically prohibited from doing this sort of work.
I guess it’s useful for making inane one shot games and websites, lol.
Had it happen to my PBS backups running on ZFS without ECC just the other day. Turned out to be heat related, memory was fine but during long backups heat was causing bit flips.
That's what I did after my 15 year old Synology DS1010+ built in USB DOM failed. Put a network booted debian on it via netboot.xyz with zfs and now i get to reuse those 15 year old 2TB still chugging along disks. Fully open source, pretty nice way to keep old hardware going. It's my tertiary backup that wakes up once a week pulls in some open weights LLM models that I hoard just in case and goes back to sleep.

Trying to run this stuff really triggers it. Freaking frustrating.
I have it set up some local inference and then I'm struggling to get the MTP working and it just refuses to work on evaluations.
The stickers are because somebody got hurt. That's the only reason why they're there. And hopefully it helps somebody. It doesn't hurt anything to have the sticker, lol.
You forgot to include the actual living costs if you invest. You're not gonna be able to contribute $2,500 a month. You would be able to contribute not that much , around here rents are $2,500 a month.
Exactly. Here I am sitting talking to my freaking computer, arguing with it, whatnot. And people just dismiss it as if it's not a science fiction. We were not there two, three years ago. Now we are. It's amazing and scary, scary mostly because the society that we operate in. I bet it's less scary in Norway or elsewhere where govt is more biased towards people not corps.
Not all workers will fare equally. As an illustration, Reuters cited a union source estimating that someone in the memory chip unit earning an 80-million-won base salary could take home roughly 626 million won in total bonuses this year. By comparison, workers at SK Hynix stand to collect upward of 700 million won should their employer post annual profit of 250 trillion won, Reuters calculated. Unlike at Samsung, SK Hynix employees are not limited to stock payouts and may instead opt for cash, Reuters reported.
Exactly, the whole point of having a laptop is that you can close it at some point. Once you move to these newfangled workflows it is all gone. That is why I have been slow on uptake with all these new apps they are releasing like Codex GUI and Claude GUI and all that stuff. I like that work continues when I close my laptop, but also I like that it continues on my hardware, not somewhere in the cloud being a supply chain attacked by who knows what.
Yeah, this all sounds good in theory, but there's a lot of edge cases. For example, for me switching between Mac and Linux what often happens is that Linux just for some reason the it turns off the monitor port and it's black until I reboot and there was no easy way to get it back. This is while using fancy Dell monitors built-in KVM. Ultimately, I have settled on remote desktops as a more viable and quicker option.
I disagree. The rigidity of YAML and stuff like that is what actually makes LLMs work better. I have strict linting rules and file size limits and it imposes discipline on LLMs. That's why it worked even last year. Even before Opus 4.0 it worked to some extent as long as you imposed discipline on these models
Trust me, I do pretty complicated things with Ansible, key thing is to have decent established patterns and these models truly are getting better.
I like the forums of the old way better than what we have now, Discord and reddit suck I mean, even back button on reddit does not work 50% of the time, lol.
Hacker News is the only thing that we have left that's similar to what we had from forums of the old. And even then, I think I like those forums better. Remember Deja News before Google bought them. Shit like that, that was good.
Yeah, but I have Claude Code or Codex do this Ansible stuff and they do just fine with all this and then there's a gazillion of examples that they can lean on and once the patterns are established, it's pretty smooth. Opus 4.5 was when the big inflection was I was heavy into automation all summer. It was Opus 4.0. It was like pulling teeth. And then when 4.5 came out, it was just beautiful.
Farming might feel rewarding while watching someone else do the hard work. I watched and had to help my grandparents do it and went through my own decade of "farming" and it never gets easier and you only get older.
What makes you think that progress has stopped? Anecdotally I personally seem to think that it's accelerated, I am having conversations with ambitious non tech people and they now seem to be excited and are staying up late learning about cli and github. They seem to have moved beyond lovable and are actually trying to embed some agents in their small businesses, etc.
just use openrouter or google ai playground for the first week till bugs are ironed out. You still learn the nuances of the model and then yuu can switch to local. In addition you might pickup enough nuance to see if quantization is having any effect
