Can you imagine they were cheaper than Candy Crush 12 years ago?
Unfortunately it is impossible to build Linux distro today as single person on a single machine. Every Linux distro is a collection of libs and apps but the sad reality is that they are all interconnected in a huge mess of dependencies. To avoid usind libs as binaries you need to build every single one and to do so you need to first build its dependencies and so on... Some dependencies are so huge that building them makes no sense at all as build times become unreasonable and the source code so huge that one person will never be able to trace or understand - it becomes black box turning open source into an empty words.
So I am removing those huge dependencies for the apps that essentially do not need them. Linux stupidity is so that today GTK2 depends on GTK4 which depends on Rust to build. GTK2 is very old and can run perfectly well without these if you manage to clean them. Rust on the other hand requires Rust compiler. Rust compiler can only be build with Rust compiler. This makes the machine to require connection to download and execute binary during build time - that is black box again. Then Rust compiler is 2 million lines of code and again uses libs from the net which is a code injection. In my view what Rust does is to make your build dependent on Rust servers and Rust code from internet. My idea is independence for one person on one machine. No connection required to rebuild, no mess of dependencies and no black boxes. Also I have made some fixes in openBSD code. At the end the result is that OnemanBSD is simple yet capable distro that one developer is able to understand and support. It comes with ALL source and full documentation

I wanted an OS that I could truly own. Most modern systems have become server-controlled clients, bloated with dependencies (Gtk4/Qt/Rust/Wayland) and centralized source control on GitHub. If you cannot audit the dependency tree and Big Corp controls the source, it is no longer real open source.I built OneManBSD to address this. It is an OpenBSD-based system built on a single 2012 ThinkPad...
Rust compiler is a bloat an requires internet and binary execution on your machine so you can build it. This by definition turns open source into a black box so please if you use Rust don't try to pose as open source
Nice but why in the browser. This is very bad decision - software is not a web page. I should not depend on internet and servers to use my tools, and what I create should stay on my machine only until I decide otherwise.
Decisions like this reduce freedom step by step for all humanity!
What is "Flow Matching paradigm in C"?
Your Read Me file is 1 line ! Please explain these fancy words to us the old school developers
The disfunction of your site at the moment is the indicator why you should not trust any one with your "memories" or other important data. Own your data - keep it home
If there is a real way to influence LLM outputs, they will turn into bullshit faster than anyone expects!
The author is already deeply confused by his own thoughts on page 2 when thinking about counting and numbers... What value do you find reading random thoughts of confused people?
The result is nice. It would be nice to keep the code not obfuscated so we can actually see what Kimi had done.
One .c file and one header .h - That is the way opensource lib should be! I may include it into OnemanBSD
AI ???WTF? At first I decided you are making something awesome... maybe like OnemanBSD but is giving your phone to AI agents - what is wrong with you man? This is even worse than google monopoly
So you are writing code to help Cloude now? WTF is wrong with society?
I have a question..
As all these GPU cores are just used as computational acceleration for a CPU code, how the fuck they claim to have and control thousands of GPUs running one model inside a datacenter?
Are they just using too big arrays :) - it makes no sense to me. How many GPUs one CPU code may need? How many CPUs they have and How then these CPUs are running in parallel? Do they at all?????
It is sad that the only way to catch attention these days is to add AI to the mix...
You had a good time back then!
It is not very human: Just says "Oops something went wrong!"
At the moment it looks like skinny go ui wrapper.
Well done. Put some links to the PDFs.
It is a global push to kill technology
Why the author is acting hostile ??
Here is description of my method for frequency detection using resonance sensors from 2019!
https://bialamusic.com/resonance_frequency_detection/If you want to cooperate - I am open for that and I can share more. But this is public knowledge and should stay that way. Why you are deleting my comments in youtube - I have apps with 100K+ installs using such method and I can share details if you are really interested
No FFT in the showed apps. It is the very same algorithm you are trying to reinvent but adjusted for REAL world use by solving the REAL issues as accounting for natural harmonics and and balancing the resonator sensors output
It is more complex than the one described here. The idea is the same but for a working solution many different coefficients are needed and adjusted properly. Resonances are adjusted to have some match to the human perception.
It is all time domain as there are no real frequencies in sound.
It is good to see the idea investigated by more people but the man should not try to claim it as his own. We are doing such tings for years and I want this knowledge stays to people so no one should claim it
Great idea! In my OS distribution - OnemanBSD (
https://bialamusic.com/onemanBSD/) I found out that to include browser with Javascript, it would eat more time to build it than to to rebuild the entire OS with the included apps.
No single person can understand what is inside that monster. It could be any code injection
To build the whole thing it takes about 20 hours on a Lenevo Thinkpad L430.

This major update. There is offline documentation included in the installer image now + some fixes.
I built this because I am tired of OSs turning into server-controlled clients. We are losing the ability to understand, let alone rebuild, the tools we use every day.The Project: OneManBSD is a customized OpenBSD 7.8 installation image for i386 platforms.The "Sovereign" Features:Source in the...
