The coffee sucks, the tables are all filled or dirty and sticky, the outside seating is in a parking lot, baking in the sun, the drive through is backed up to the interstate, the food is re-heated trash that costs a fortune, the atmosphere is boring factory produced trash, and the wifi is so slow it’s like it doesn’t exist.

Why. Why on earth would I go to starbucks

I’ve only ran super small models. I have a cheap gaming laptop with a Nvidia 3060 with like 8gb of vram.

Gemma4 will probably be a good model to try on your hardware

I can run models locally super easy in the CLI with a tool called ollama

Any question that you could get the answer too from reading a sentence or two from a book or article is generally an LLM will probably be able to answer.

It’s good for surface level exploratory research.

The deeper you go the more fallacies and bias start to enter the mix. LLMs by nature are biased and will only present you with one or two solutions/options/opinions on why and what.

Knowing when your hitting that point is difficult. I urge you to read documentation and human written guides and articles once you find yourself surprising what the LLM can give you.

As a software developer and script writer myself I can guarantee you what a LLM writes is not “gold” it’s more like bronze at best.

It’s really not though. If you think it is I really suggest to re-think your perspective on what maintainable shippable code looks like. It’s basically automating copying from stack overflow. There’s so many little considerations that come into development.

Get a android you lunatic

What a small world! I made a TOR P2P messaging app using symmetric encryption as a POC in college! I was just getting around to re implementing it into something more polished!

Not sure if I have a reason too now!

Old college app, new project doesn’t have much progress

Fucking idiots. I’m surrounded by idiots

It’s not. That’s the problem. It actually sucks ass. It’s super low quality for anything more complex they s very simple CRUD app or a simple function. I say this as someone who s a heavy LLM user. It’s just bad code. It makes all kinds of simple mistakes. Just because code compiles doesn’t mean it’s good or does what you need it to do

Second this. People who don’t understand tech blame anything that’s different for their problems even if unrelated.

I thought dissociatives where a subclass of psychedelics

Psychedelics aren’t magic potions you apply to the Brain. Consciousness is a very complex and dynamic system that varies WILDLY from person to person.

Especially dependant on dose. Who’s knows what will happen half the time

Medical dosage of ketamine? No depression! Using everyday in crazy amounts? Elon.

I guess this explains the quality of bcachefs.

I decided to start recommending it after I read the article lol

Nix

Love it!!

Don’t need to I use nix

This is how I handle my nix configs though

https://github.com/Givlucas/nixos

I wish it want thrown around like it was AGI.

AI for ML systems has always kinda been a misleading term after it was co-oped by science fiction

Ah remember when I had this phase

I’d use Nixos, with flatpak for user packages
