Really enjoy using ghostty but I've switched mostly back to konsole for only one reason: memory usage. I'll reevaluate, after reading this!

I'll kick it off:

Oxide computing.

Took me a very small amount of time to figure out pytorch was a one man effort that actually was discouraged by Facebook initially, and the dev no longer works there

Just echo'ing the other comment.

I'm on arch, and with nearly no tinkering my index just works.

Only low level knowledge I think would be useful is the different VR runtimes. SteamVR vs Monado

Yup, although technically not replaced because I never used either of those products because I don't like sending my code to their black box. I have 2x24GB AMD gpu's, gotten from gamers on my local marketplace, one is connected with a 40cm riser cable. Running Qwen 27B and am very happy with its performance. Q8 with 135k context (arbitrary number, I could push it to 256). I like to use qwen 35B3A for mapping out entire code paths through our relatively complicated codebase/infra at work.

I think it's so good that I now scour the local marketplaces for good buys on 24GB cards that don't seem run through by miners and the likes, to build an even bigger rig for parallel execution.

Power usage is also totally not an issue, AI workload is very different from gaming.

tldr llama.cpp-vulkan with opencode on total 48GB VRAM AMD cards on arch btw.

My imposter syndrome is essentially fear of being julius.

Very nice read thank you. Still remember very clearly putting the Richard D James album CD into my Sony disc man for the very first time 22 years ago

Absolutely love it. Inspires me to think about porting my own productivity tools to an IRL device.

For those not familiar, this post is by John Walker[0] one of the co-founders of Autodesk who made AutoCAD. He passed away last year[1]

Judging by your profile location being in the netherlands, I think you are confusing the generic Ziggo ISP blocked page[1], where it lists Russia Today and Sputnik News and then in another post ThePirateBay

In this case, the ISP blocked it because the website is anna's archive [2], which was blocked around a year ago, but they have not made a post about that.

If you put "pcm." in front of the link it will work (for now)

You should probably edit your post, so as not to misinform. But I have to admit this confusion stems from bad decisions at the ISP.

Wow, there goes 20 minutes. Really enjoyed it, thanks.

Do you think it's just frustrating in the Meta landscape? I've been playing around with stuff I find on the "Linux VR Adventures wiki" [1]

I've got a different, (not meta) VR HMD, and am running things using Envision and Stardust XR.

Excuse me if none of this applies to mixed reality.

Yes, please do, I've been considering changing careers as well. (Currently software engineer)

Thanks for sharing! I like the look of this a lot. I'm always looking for personal knowledge base and note taking style tools.

Will you provide source code anywhere?

When I just started out, I used to take everybody's on-call service because it paid well. Also had the advantage that I learned the ropes quicker. Now-a-days I'm very happy to not be awoken at 3am, even if 1 weekend incident would amount to a couple grand.

Has anybody attempted to do this DIY? The photo's look very warm and nostalgic.

Anybody have a reliable, up-to-date pc build guide, for a full node? I find very fragmented information everywhere. I get that "most pc's can run Bitcoin core" but I'd like some more detailed information.

I use this daily, and let it use browser cookies.

Clicked this because it sounded interesting and was surprised to see one of my favorite movies in the introduction!

edit: really nice and nostalgic read, I played almost all of the games mentioned.

Thank you for this extensive answer. Eager to see what kind of inventions and improvements you come up with in the future.

Love this. Is the private key printed on a separate piece of paper? I saw only #####'s. How long does it take to generate a full key using dice?

Do they want to keep a centralized database of everybody's eyeballs? I'm not sure I'm interested in this. I'm predicting people getting their eyes gauged out in high stakes robberies.

This is arguably the biggest thing to have happened to the VR space. I've been enjoying triple-A titles in VR, through UEVR since it came out a few months ago. It's reignited my love of gaming. The immersion is crucial to being able to forget about work and daily life for a couple hours.

Masto. Never. Stops. Learning.
