In-reply-to » I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today.... First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this "work", using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? πŸ€” Its just garbage 🀣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah well as it stands right now, this is insane. It’s total junk πŸ˜…

In-reply-to » Do-nothing scripting: the key to gradual automation – Dan Slimmon

These are my thoughts currently (from IRC):

[10:40:20]  <prologic> Thinking about writing a do nothing framework in Go
[10:41:10]  <prologic> One in which consumers can define their procedure in their own repo
[10:42:07]  <prologic> And users can of the tool can execute any procedure that the binary has imported
[10:42:58]  <prologic> And eventually implement Run() to turn steps from manual ones to automated ones gradually
[14:51:34]  <xuu> Like for mocking against?
[14:51:43]  <xuu> Not sure I follow
[16:03:04]  <prologic> xuu basically for reducing the activation energy to complete otherwise manual procsses
[16:03:14]  <prologic> where you can gradually turn them into automated processes

πŸ“£ Outage Notification: On Tuesday 23rd May 2023 between 7.30am to 5pm, there will be an outage of undefined length with no known start time due to planned power meter upgrades on the premises by the energy company.

You know, it’s one of those things where they give you a ~12hr window πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I will post here again once the technician is on-site and power down. I will power back up as soon as the work is complete.

According to the information I’ve received, the outage should be no more than ~1-2hrs.

Apologies for any inconvenience πŸ€—

In-reply-to » Been some busy days this week, even though I have some time off now. Today me and Marlyn had some time for ourselves - and her mother watched our kids, so we went out to eat at a resturant, which we very rarely do, was nice to do that. I had some nachos, was really nice. Also bought one of those popcorn machines for our kids, because they always burn the microwave popcorn (not their fault - its the microwave thas weird), so now they can safely make popcorn :)

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Yeah the last couple of weeks for me at work have been super crazy πŸ˜…

In-reply-to » Still undecided between TiddlyWiki, DokuWiki, Bear, Benotes, Memos, my blog software, standardnotes, apple notes and more. I like them all quite a bit, but standardnotes, the only one that has reall multiplatform is so fucking complicated to host on your own and then they have this stupid offline subscription thing that allows rich text or the block editor that works like notion. I also found codex docs which is really really nice. Unfortunately they lack proper authentication. 1 / 2

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net I still quite like HedgeDo and use it all the time. The only feature I find missing is some way to organization documents I guess?

What would your ideal feature list be?

In-reply-to » I truly despise the way Apple has slowly locked up macOS

@shreyan@twtxt.net For the sake of security and supply-chain-attacks, I don’t have a problem with that requirement per se to be honest. If you build from source, you’re all good. If you download some arbitrary binary, yeah you’re going to want that to be signed. As I do most things with either go or brew I don’t really run into too many issues here myself.
