All according to plan

Zorin OS is a good one if you want a nice UI transition from Windows or Mac.

What’s wrong with ollama?

all good. same

acquisition?

This assumes you don’t get stuck as something that can’t kill itself to re-roll.

Or LLM cleanroom copy it, like the internet did when claude code source was leaked into other languages like rust

At scale though…

That’s a good point. We’ve been using the UML diagrams as a tool to catch behavioral red flags, but the reuse and implementation details of that are left undefined.

Maybe the answer lies in also explicitly spending a few passes focusing on code health, explainability, maintainability (while keeping brain on). This is something I go through at end and then retry verification tests, but not something we explicitly require in our process at the moment.

But in the end you have to know what good looks like and be able to call bullshit. Hmm I guess strong first principles are still the foundation of being good at something, no matter how the tools change. And practice, feedback, and constraint exposure are what turn that into actual effectiveness.

We require you to submit markdown plan before working on a feature, which must have full context, scope, implementation details. Also verification tests mardown file of happy path and critical failure modes that would affect customer, and how tests were performed. Must be checked in with the commit. More complex, large features require UML diagrams of architecture, sequences, etc. to be checked in too.

If your plan or verification docs have wrong context, missing obvious implementation flaws, bad coupling, architecture, interfaces, boundary conditions, missing test cases, etc then PR rejected.

Every developer’s performance is judged as a systems engineer. Thoughtless features without systems docs and continued lack of improvement in your systems thinking gets you PIPed.

So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?

C and python simultaneously.

Not for everyone, but they are aiming at increasing hardware ownership costs so more people can’t afford local AI

OpenAI/Anthropic is incentivized to prevent this.

They are also big enough and unregulated enough that they could use their power & political/industry relationships to drive up the price of local AI ownership (RAM, GPUs, etc)

May go the Gentoo route. majority of my friends use that as their primary os. peer pressure + compiling your OS is fun

Battery life is limited by cell modem drivers being closed source and having to be reverse engineered.

I have been looking into an alternate hybrid radio device using Reticulum. Though with that comes a new less convenient user experience for a lot of apps.

Socialized losses are the norm. People’s energy bills are already paying for the nearby data centers .
