I find it much more valuable to exchange ideas with humans than type every curl bracket and common boilerplate pattern and debug commit myself. That said, I am also actively experimenting with VTT solutions which are getting quite good.

But you have to be good at SWE to be good at security engineering and sysadmin, and the demand there is skyrocketing. We have a completely broken internet with almost nothing using memory encryption, deterministic builds, full source bootst

The same way I learned 25 years ago still works today. Volunteer on open source projects. Always happy to mentor people at stagex and hashbang (orgs I founded). Also being a maintainer of an influential open source project goes on a resume,

I did things the old way for 25 years and my carpal tunnels are wearing out. LLMs let me produce the same quality I always have with a lot less typing so not mad at that at all. I review and own every line I commit, and feel no desire to go

While age gate attempts are comically stupid, an adult giving a kid a device purpose built for addictive behavior should absolutely be as illegal as giving them alcohol or cigarettes. I really hope Apple and Google are not stupid enough to

I compiled most of the operating systems I used from source code as a minor, and will parent the same way. I do not know how one age verifies a Linux From Scratch install, but I sure hope politicians try and give me a good laugh.

Initially about 15 years ago because the laptop I bought did not have kernel support for the mobile gpu so I could not run a graphical desktop for a while, so I added kernel support for framebuffer on my GPU myself which was only a 7 line c

These days I prefer to ask an LLM to just go fetch content for me as much as possible.

You can also use mplayer with "-fp" to play video on the frambuffer as well. I have gone weeks at a time without using a graphical desktop at all thanks to these tools.

This looks super useful, but I wish authors could stop doing these silly "source available" plays. Instead of donating to a project one has to buy GPU time to convert it to FOSS.

Assuming one does not value privacy, sovereignty, etc. But also the Strix Halo 128 is pretty hard to beat.

And that is why the only winning move is owning a GPU.

Same. I expect in a misguided effort to save customers, they are going to lose a lot more. My two companies will be canceling over this.

There are endless closed calendar options. Cal.com being FOSS and not making us feel locked in forever was the only reason we chose it over wasting limited cycles self hosting this at Distrust and Caution. AI can clone something like cal.co

The main reason to get the framework is the DIY edition for the mini-itx form factor board and support. If you do not care about those then any cheap proprietary format box with the Strix Halo chip will do. I put my boards in mini itx rack

You can run Android on just about anything so it boils down to Linux GPU benchmarks.

I run qwen3.5 122b on a Framework Desktop at 35/ts as a daily driver doing security and OS systems and software engineering. Never paid an LLM provider and I have no reason to ever start.

Container-first here is mostly about build sandboxing and a packaging format where we avoid re-inventing the wheel and using standards to achieve toolchain diversity and minimalism. Docker is used as a default as it is most popular but you

Qwen 3.5 122b is competitive with Opus 4.6, and runs at 35t/s on a Strix Halo. It is my daily driver. Unlike Opus I can run abliterated models with censorship removed so it can be used for security research and reverse engineering and
