When I started my career in the late 80s programmers had their own offices, which was great. Then in the 90s I largely worked in shared offices, which was still OK. By the late 90s everyone was working in cubicles, which was a step down, an

It's been a while since I've checked this program out, so this morning I downloaded it and spent some time taming some of the more extreme effects and fooling around with fonts. Pretty happy with the results! I think I got it look

The drummer, Michael Shrieve, was only 20 at the time of that performance. The look on joy and elation seen on face as he is performing is really quite something. In several interviews, Santana recalled experiencing the effects of psychedel

I wrote this a few years ago, when LFS made the front page: I had a lot of fun doing this. You really get a feel for the evolution of build systems -- from older software that uses automake/make to newer programs that use meson/ni

The demo I saw showed a guy at a standing desk, using a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. I remember I grimaced thinking what his shoulders must feel like typing with his hands so close together on that tiny, shitty little keyboard. It mad

I used to think this way until I spent some time working with and tuning my TRAMP setup. Now that Eglot is shipped with Emacs 29 I've switched from lsp-mode, and lo and behold, dealing with remote LSP servers is a lot easier. I was a h

This is like asking how you'd choose between Emacs and Vim, Mac and PC, Monoliths and Microservices, Functional and Object Oriented .. you're likely going to elicit a lot of passion and not a ton of objective information. For most

Give the LLM access to `shellcheck` and have it iterate on the warnings. I think promising results have been shown when you allow LLMs to reflect on their answers and give them access to tools.

There are a number of models based on Meta's Llama that have been fine-tuned for storytelling. These are not truly open source per-se, due to the murky nature of the leaked base model, but should be fine for what you're describing

I disagree with the premise that valuable one on one mentorship requires a physical presence. I've done a lot of mentoring over Slack and Zoom, and at least on my side, it was a rewarding experience.

If you want to spend $4800.00 on just the computer, you can get a Mac Studio with 128G of memory with 400GB/s bandwidth. There are sparse reports out there of folks running 65B models on it. I've seen no performance measurements t
