If you’ve got a decent Nvidia GPU and are hoping on linux, look into the Kobold-cpp Vulkan backend, in my experience it works far better than the CUDA backend and is astronomically faster than the CPU-Only backend.

If you’re planning on using LLMs for coding advice, may I recommend selfhosting a model and adding the documentation and repositories as context?

I use a a 1.5b qwen model (mega dumb) but with no context limit I can attach the documentation for the language I’m using, and attach the files from the repo I’m working in (always a local repo in my case) I can usually explain what I’m doing, what I’m trying to accomplish, and what I’ve tried to the LLM and it will generate snippets that at the very least point me in the right direction but more often than not solve the problem (after minor tweaks because dumb model not so good at coding)

Looks easy but is incredibly difficult to get perfect?

Oh neat. Thank you. I was assuming Singleton was like lambda and it was returning instances of itself.

I didn’t read the code very closely.

Is… Its that a fork bomb…? Stored inside a class?

Edit:

Nah I’m a dummy it don’t do that at all.

Raffy buddy we keep trying to Tell you reality has a left leaning bias. Maybe you’d hear it if you were ever in the states when your constituents are trying to talk to you.

I’ve got a 8GB swap drive nowadays (yes I know its awful for flash memory, idc) but the vm.swappiness isn’t adjustable on FreeBSD so it just simply isn’t swappy enough. Rarely ever goes above 128MB swap in use, it orefers to crash.

Its not an active project for me as of right now but I plan to make a tool to adjust the swappiness at some point when I figure out what chunk of code is responsible for it in the kernel. At that point I’ll be able to use it to drastically increase memory related stability, until then though the 2005 era business PC remains a lumbering creature, with much care needed to keep it from crashing.

Firefox ESR will open, and can navigate to lite.duckduckgo.com or other lightweight sites. Attempting to use multiple tabs results in OOM killer killing firefox, or the whole system locking up, whichever comes first.

This machine exists as an exercise in ascetism. By denying myself modern amenities I seek to free myself from distraction, enabling me to do more, higher quality work.

what can you run with only one gig of RAM

Mostly just text editors and terminal apps. For me, this is a good thing, for most I assume its a dealbreaker.

Occasionally I’ll boot the machine off a USB HDD with windows 95 on it for retro gaming. It handles that like a champ.

I stream but from my own server.

I’ve got a collection curated over the last 15 years by my partner with over 40k tracks. I can shuffle and it will play for over 3 months without a repeat.

That’s a great idea, I’ve got some hacker/programmer buddies who go to defcon and ziacon every year so I’m gonna try to go next year to make connections in the field too. Missed them this year and I was super upset, I’ve been wanting to hit defcon since I was a freshman in high-school, some decade and a half ago

I do have way too much free time, that’s why I’m in school to get the piece of paper that says I know programming so I can get a job god I’m so bored being unemployed sucks

So there’s some data its concatenating from some lists and running some checks on. If one if the checks succeeds it runs a function called clearInfo, I don’t know js so idk if that’s a built-in or if they defined it elsewhere in the script. If that check fails it runs clearInterval. This is all wrapped in a function called setInterval, and it looks like if all the checks succeed and the interpreter isn’t moved to a different section of code by those functions called earlier then it will set whatever this interval is to 10000, presumably milliseconds. That’s the big block in the middle.

The top block calls some code referencing a document, which appears to be stored as a list, index 12 is referenced and another obfuscated argument is applied to it.

The bottom block appears to be defining a function that will interact with the document referenced above. Calling the function showInfo and presumably concatenating and formatting some data into a pretty output for a user to get info regarding the document being referenced.

Someone who actually knows js could probably tell you more, I know python and c++ and this looks kinda like python but the syntax is a bit different so I could be way off

I’m loving this new trend of remastering games into buggy unplayable messes and calling it a sequel.

Their website advertises it as a homeopathic product, are you sure this isn’t a scam? It looks like its just some vitamins C and Zinc.

Haven’t touched silksong. I tend to game in binges. I mostly play civ and ksp and will usually dump 10 hours or so in a session, but I don’t do that very often, maybe twice a month nowadays. In my youth I’d game for hours and hours. I’m pretty sure I logged like 700 hours in skyrim in 2012 alone, and I didn’t even get it til July that year

KSP is my 2nd fave game behind Civ 5 with 3500 and 4500 hours respectively

Kraken is the term.

Krakens are physics glitches which generally get worse the deeper into space you are. Some craft are designed to be 100% kraken powered and don’t even have engines onboard
