Already ? I was wondering when some US based company will buy them including all that "soverignity" prompts :)

Local llms are what we need and to get that we need memory so we need computer builders from outside of US. Why ? Because when something external appears US companies also allows US citizens to have that too at lower price :) Not before external forces force them to be suddenly good hearted to their own peoples...

Can we also have coarser MoE's ? If I want to code I do not need llm be trained on past and present capitol names and chemistry and everything unrelevant to the task ! Watch Matrix again ! We need somewhat "inteligent" llms and knowledge can be uploaded just like Neo learned kung-fu :) - prompts and light tr^h^hweek of learning and some exams, we need kind of university for llms :) So llms finally fit into users computers... And when some grandmas or snowflakes start to whine tell them to learn - llms usage can be a skill finally ;)

Edit:

Wait, can we have something like interchengable weights so knowledge can be just downloaded to model folder ? Common weights format ? Reproducible builds ?

I would prefer using sources and making that mandatory.

But I prefer trusted binaries over "private" web app in open internet. And even locally - html and all layers of http stack is inferior to pixels. Or vectors.

Do "office suite" really need to be http app ?? Such hackers friendly trend...

One thing to mention is that stack structure or multiple stacks on the heap are very fast garbage collection, much faster than any search-mark-sweap can be.

Also worth to mention that in stack fast "deallocation" memory (usually) is not zeroed or cleared so it is very internal architecture...

Somehow "Minority Raport" was about crime... And stupidity build into oversight system.

And under eg. communism where oversight is balooned to society self-harm you still have crime. And "bribery" is alias for communism and other dictatorships.

So, it is just better to give up on Flock spy[hard]ware.

Also taking DJB advice - "do not parse" - looks to be more relevant then ever before :) That directory of (mainly) one-line configuration files is really nice to have...

And "config files written in X lang" should seriously and officially be considered as bad-bad thing, worse then XML :)

And languages that have eval or functions re-definitions available at runtime should be considered only in jokes in production environment. And products that use them should be send in outer space direction, just like Voyager ;)

Actually, Turing complete languages are way too much in use. We do not need so much of their powers, especially after deployment.

> [...] that was always China's plan, [...] they'll have the moral high ground

It's a possibility. It is also possible that they will steal yesterday's technology and still pretend to have moral high ground.

I do not wish China and Chinees wrong but most probably communism will work as it always do - by faking thing and bringing self-harm to their own citizens.

Total lack of understanding what is happening.

There is difference between mandatory one implementation and set of funcionalities. Systemd is monolit with visible parts that provide somewhat modern funcionalities in 'nix world.

And there is no serious developers in 'distro' space, except RedHat. And, really, there is no such thing RedHat we have in old Linux days - it was devoured and we just have a label doing corporate propaganda.

So when few modern init systems were hatching RH dropped systemd and, as RH is main force in distros development, it gained dominance.

And since then thing are getting worse.

Eg. cgroups ? systemd first used them and so much hype happened. But is it deserved hype ? No! They implemented cgroups v1 when cgroups v2 was available. And cgroups v2 usage was blocked for years. In systemd too.

Do not make mistake of not seeing difference between good and modern functionalities and one codebase with funding that block real development.

Edit: formatting*

Just one thing: why that resolver work *need to be" in systemd package ? Why we can't have few implementations, as it always have been, that do different jobs, with overlapping funcionalities ? Why we ever need some gigantic codebase guarded by corporations that we can't easily replace ? Codebase that is uncooperative with other implemantations. And developers.

And moust importantly: why they make everything more stupid and windows-like trash ?

And I assure you: what you described as "easy" is not true. I is just few basic usecases they baked in. And when you neeed something a bit more specific in some direction you are not allowed to have that.

Systemd is a trash, atm.

Oh yea...

My reading was like this:

- "how much things they postpone to put into v11 ?"

- "moving to stack is faster then heap"

- so.. why they just not use multiple stacks ?? ring buffers are just progressive stack but plain stack is just pointer moving... Hmm, but what is usecase except recursive function calling ?

- ok, I read that articele

- what ? it's just a first part ??

- async thingies

- "state machines looks like that"

- aha, always wanted to konw that, thank you Microsoft! Wait, what?? What I just said ?? That really happened?

- scroll, then scroll more some asm code, maybe I read it later

- something interesting, don't remeber now

- next morning coffee time: O, I have some more to read, maybe I can learn something more ?

- ok, work time but probably will finish reading later today

So it is realy nice article. I learned how to do old-school async wrappers in plain C :)

Hi author :) Must say that 8k+ lines is a little bit annoying and uneasy to handle... But also bribgs a lot of hope and happiness :)

To the point:

- llm'ed or not, dasn't matter, just quality matter

- raid ? I know nothing about that but looks like pure hardware raid (if that exists), no "raid layers" at all and fs raid aware are three different animals. But adding something about raids will complicate things before "production ready" stability. Which, of course, we want ASAP ;)

- 8k+ seems easy to manage and bend so maybe key-value only partitions ?

- obviously wishlist is easy to construct (key-value storage, encryption, power off resistance, mail reading ;) ) so maybe some plugin system or at least guidelines for peoples before we will have repos of patches DWM-style ? :)

- that 5 second is clearly stated but a bit strange limit and obviously peoples will want to do something with that

- man give us producion readiness before you will be puched by some corporation, swamped with work and hidden from daylight, pls ? Pleas do not fall into Compiz trap...

- thank you :)

Funny times!

How many years after "public clouds" and non-local "disks" and "drives" we are ? :) And you still need to tell peoples that other have access to your private data :)

Wait, no... They even have access to a thingie you just about to think about! ;) That is a superpower, no less :>

And managers are firing peoples just to outsource "thinking" to some not owned by them cloud computer :>

Not-a-slowdown is so easy - just lower the prices...

And do not limit gfx RAM size for home PC's, you will see llms usage explode.

Dudes, pleas...

Stop obsesing with 2-4% diference in gluten! English flour, Americans flour - just make dough denser and it will keep shape longer before going flat.

Especially if you bake in baking pan! In pan anything keeps bread (actually pan :> ) shape! Corn, buckwheat, rice, whatever.

Without pan "week gluten" make bread flat. But on the other hand week gluten flour is better for cakes makers.

Without gluten and pan you can make pancakes-like bread what still is called bread in some current but ancient traditions.

O, and "wheat only bread" started to be so popular (as in: be only one thing called bread) only when yeasts has been discovered and only in West Europe / North America culture. Even Germany still is using a lot of rye and Mexico is using a lot of corn...

And to article subject: yea, mixing harder adds a lot of air into dough and when heated gas expands so bread "grows"... And, especially in pan, it looks "normal"... But intensive mixing also kills yeasts that create CO^2 in dough so it kills bread growth... So, yeah, you realy need that gluten so air is trapped in the dough :)

Also short bread growth time kills taste... But you can faster push whatever-you-are-making to customers!

And that suposedly "american" "sponge-and-dough" is just ancient and global way of making bread...

There is nothing wrong with stories that purpose is to give you wisdom. Try to study few theological comments on eg. Genesis book from eg. "desert fathers" :)

In Bible we have stories, songs, history (that cruel part), teachings, prophecies and straight jurnalists like researched relations of Someone life and words.

Think about that: Church know that some stories are older myths and did not removed them from official books. Why ? Becouse religion is much serious thing that some industrialized system. At least for Christians. And "history" can only help to true seekers - why censor the truth, what someone did ? Learn in what "context" things was done and how it looks on others doings background and what was later and what you can learn from all of that. But someone with bad intensions can't be bothered to think much...

And about shape-shifting :) a) if omnipotent God exists than He can do miraculous things, right ? b) that magical creatures are usually described in books that are stories or prophecies not historical one. In case of doubt look a) ;)

Anyway: there is _insane_ amount of wisdom in Christianity teachings, even for atheists.

And if God is True then finally everything He done will be explained as good and just - logic :) There is 'if' there because faith is important. IMO without faith there is no free will - humans are not like angels that just know and decide only once...
