That was the Nvidia 580 driver, its a known issue. 575 dirver is working fine.

The file chooser can be somewhat tamed in the settings editor. For example to get the buttons back to the bottom of the dialog where they belong: disable the "DialogsUseHeader" setting under "xsettings" in xfce4-settings

Make sure you have a HiDPI theme selected and that you set a custom DPI that matches your screen in Settings->Appearance->Fonts.

When people ask what computer they should buy I always tell them to get any old office computer from ebay and use the rest of the money to buy a really nice monitor, and a really nice keyboard and mouse, as these are the bits you use! For m

Positive reinforcement works better that negative reinforcement. If you the read prompt guidance from the companies themselves in their developer documentation it often makes this point. It is more effective to tell them what to do rather t

His application `boomer` is the best desktop zoom app for X11! Bound to a keyboard shortcut its very useful for debugging graphics layout errors during development.

There really isn't many concepts to get. `zpool` is like the device manager, use it define how your disks are grouped i.e. turn two disks into a mirror or striped array. `zfs` creates, sets properties on and manages the datasets on the

AMD used to be terrible on Linux, perhaps before your time. Nvidia was always the choice if you needed functional hardware acceleration that worked on par with windows. The nvidia driver was/still is? the same driver accross platforms

Try just setting the correct dpi for your monitor and use a hi-dpi theme. No scaling required. Pixel perfect graphics.
44.
by rabf 9mo ago
Fractional scaling is a really bad solution. The correct way to fix this is to have the dpi aware applications and toolkits. This does in fact work and I have ran xfce under xorg for years now on hi-dpi screens just by setting a custom dpi

I found thst ZFS to be very simple to understand, everything is controlled by just two commands. Datasets are huge win over partitions which seem like such a weird relic of the past once you have tried datasets. Fairly confident you can gra

You do realise they can search the web? They can read documentation and api specs?

"the knowledge they use does need to exist somewhere in training data", I'm not to sure about that. The current coding enviroments for AI give the models a lot of reasoning power with tooling to test, iterate and web search.
50.
by rabf 9mo ago
That depends a lot on the system prompt and the tooling available to the model. Are you trying thin in Claude code or Factory.ai, or are you using a chat interface? The difference in the outcome can be large.
51.
by rabf 9mo ago
To add to this: the tooling or `harness` around the models has vastly improved as well. You can get far better results with older or smaller models today than you could 10 months ago.

I used to to compose midi on Cubase on my Atari st with 512kB of ram. Probably had far more features and ran snappier to boot!

by rabf 9mo ago
It has also made it easier than ever to build native applications that use the os provided toolkits and avoid adding a complete web-tech stack to everything.
54.
by rabf 9mo ago
There is plenty of well optimised software out there already, hopefully a ram shortage can encourage people to seek it out. Would be nice if there were some well curated lists of apps. Sort of like suckless but perhaps a little less extreme

Chatgpt is not one model! Unless you manually specify to use a particular model your question can be routed to different models depending on what it guesses would be most appropriate for your question.
