unconstrained AI agents are what makes it so useful though. I have been using claude for almost a year now and the biggest unlock was to stop being a worrywart early on and just literally giving it ssh keys and telling it to fix something.

It's not really malware, but it's a mess. It installed so much shit and it interfered with your git hooks and stuff. It was kind of messy. I kind of gave up on it. I just went back to using built-in claude code todowrite tasks.

I have run technitium for 4 or so years now, in a recursive mode, handles all my homelab needs and it is faster as well. Now that it has clustering support I have three instances in my proxmox cluster.

Do you need the simcard for WhatsApp?

Great job. I had to disable that logi sw software on my Macbook because it was taking up a lot of cycles.

Exactly. Look at just the most recent conflict in Middle East. You think they would have freaking gamed out potential scenarios using AI or whatnot? Looks like nobody gamed out anything. It's all just seat of the pants.

I was building awesome things with Access 20 years ago. I loved that thing. I wasn't even a software engineer. I was in the EE, but I needed a way to track process and it definitely outperformed. And the best thing, it didn't cost

Q4 quants on 32G VRAM gives you 131K context for 35BA3B and 27B models who are pretty capable. On 5090 one gets 175 tg and ~7K pp with 35BA3B, 27B isaround 90 tg. So speed is awesome. Even Strix 395 gives 40 tk/s and 256K context.

yup, I have to cutback now, started to get palpitations from too many all nighters.

Have frontier lab do the plan which is the most time consuming part anyways and then local llm do the implementation. Frontier model can orchestrate your tickets, write a plan for them and dispatch local llm agents to implement at about 180

I bought M1 pro ipad that ended up being on a windowsill in kitchen as a youtube tv or a again a youtube viewport while rowing, lol. What a waste, but I cannot find a better use for it. User interface also sucks, half the time i have to a

My STT is cleaned up using llm and it often likes those dashes. I let it be because I could not care less.

Not really a special prompt. It's basically my custom instruction to ChatGPT, the purpose of that instruction is to disambiguate my ramblings, basically. It's pretty effective. I always use speech to text, so it's messy and t

Yes I did. It was an overwhelming amount of stuff. It was noisy.

by vardalab 8mo ago
Yeah, that is hard to argue with because I just go to OpenRouter and play around with a lot of models before I decide which ones I like. But there's something special about running it locally in your basement

Yup, I have downloaded probably a terabyte in the last week, especially with the Step 3.5 model being released and Minimax quants. I wonder what my ISP thinks. I hope they don't cut me off. They gave me a fast lane, they better let me

We said the same thing when 3D printing came out. Any sort of cool tech, we think everybody’s going to do it. Most people are not capable of doing it. in college everybody was going to be an engineer and then they drop out after the first i

Yeah but did he actually try to use the repurposed "verbose" mode? I did, and it's way more verbose than I need, but the regular mode now is basically like mute mode. In addition, recently it started running a lot of stuff in

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm so tired of people complaining about AI-generated text without focusing on the content. Just don't read it if you don't like it. It's another level of when people complain how a website is no

This is really just a meme. People don't know how to use these tools. Here is the response from Gpt-5.2 using my default custom instructions in the mac desktop app. OBJECTIVE: Decide whether to drive or walk to a car wash ~50 meters fr

For the last three or four months, what I've been doing is anytime I have Claude write a comment on an issue, it just adds a session ID, file path and the VM it is on. That way, whenever we have some stuff that comes up, we just search

I don't know you can find that traffic always bunches up. And if one is content to sit in the gaps in between, almost never anybody cuts in. I drove twice 1000 mile trips each way last year and it kind of worked. It's more of a mi

Yeah, I've been using your tools for a while. They've been nice.

Yes, I noticed the same thing, and Claude told me that it's going to be deleted. I will have it improve the skill that is part of our worktree cleanup process to consolidate that memory into the main memory if there's anything use

This should be table stakes by now. That's the beauty of these cli tools and how they scale so well.

by vardalab 8mo ago
I agree. I like using Claude or Codex in VM on top of the tmux. Much more flexibility that way. I open a new tmux window for each issue/task big enough to warrant it, issue a prompt to create a worktree and agents and let them go to t

Yep, I've been doing a lot of Ansible and Terraform automation with agents, and success has been continually updating our learnings, so to speak, capturing them in skills. It really does help in the long run. And it's gotten much
