What do you mean by personal package manager?

What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

It depends on whether those dependencies are shared with other programs.

Somebody hit the token chain jackpot

Bluesky is not great, but it’s at least (for now) a better platform than X and the AT protocol is actually very well written. (For instance having a moderation service separated from the service that provides the posts I think is a hands-down better way to handle it than most ActivityPub servers having their admins handle all incoming and outgoing moderation)

Bluesky federation is just now getting started so it’ll be interesting to see if it goes anywhere/where it goes.

Pretty sure a significant portion of nazis are also moving to bluesky

The key is how healthy atproto is outside of bluesky by then

From one post-communist Mixed Socialist-Market economy to another.

I’ve heard this called “social chaff”

AIs generating false data for you to hide behind may be one of the few good things to come out of the LLM craze.

USB-C is pin-compatible with every single other USB plug, so you should be able to get away with all USBC cables and some adapters for whatever plug type you’re trying to plug in.

There are only 3 types of pin sets, USB-C(USB 3.0 pins + 3 extra pins), USB-3.0(USB 1.0 + 5 extra pins) and USB-2.0 and lower. Everything else version wise is the controller on the actual board, not the cable.

Cable-wise you only need one to get the benefit of every other plug on the market.

I would not say Johnny Harris is a reliable source

Anyone from the local llama communities experienced with Gemma models?

I’ve heard good things but I only use Mistral because it’s proved the most versatile.

I’ve been curious about google coral, but their memory is so tiny I’m not sure what kinds of models you can run on them

If nothing else the atproto is pretty great, we’re starting to see a proper federated net start opening up around it.

Waiting for a 8x1B MoE

Anyone else remember when people were making expert systems with scheme and saying that was the end of doctors etc?

Ironically thanks in no small part to Facebook releasing Llama and kind of salting the earth for similar companies trying to create proprietary equivalents.

Nowadays you either have gigantic LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters like Claude and ChatGPT or you have open Models that are sub-200B.

Guix users looking around shiftily and sweating

I could be mistaken too, this has all only recently become interoperable so there’s some growing pains

Isn’t that what Whitewind is doing?
