Had fun last night hacking on a new gadget project with my son. Still a long way to go… Hoping to take apart this iPod and 3D print new guts for it. It might not work! Next step is soldering the microphone to test.
@Codeberg @guenther And based on my Github experienes, despite my projects being legit and actually a result of hard work, they draw attention of the slop tribe. They see in their own eyes doing as good stuff because that's how that drug kicks in. It's geek blow. So I gladly keep coding agent plugin elsewhere. Gitlab is great because it is the least-sexy Git hosting site :-)
The second question is always: How do you deal with the glare!? Don't you have to keep the blinds down all day? And the answer is no, thanks to 3M and SCIENCE! Incredible technology. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/home-window-solutions-us/solutions/glare-reduction/

Texture mapping most likely at least inspired tiling and optimizations where representative candidate tokens are cherry picked and combined with a factor clearly seem to do miracles for my Qwen32-VL-2B implementation. Here's benchmark results.
caption, medium 43.3% faster, low 46.2% faster
OCR, medium 44.1% faster, low 44.8% faster
I've now used to more like 0,5-3% increases so this is really motivating bump :-) Aforementioned types of optimizations are also super-intuitive if you've ever worked e.g. with texture mapping or color quantization.
While I do think we’re in an AI bubble of sorts and that many of the current VC-funded companies will fail, I also think we’re only at the beginning of how much AI will grow and impact society. It makes for a strange tension.
You have one language for scripting/shoehorning the OS and configuration. That's why I think it could be quite elegant. Configuration language would be "functional DSL" on top of nu.
Dear @EUCommission, I am not sure that today, with wildfires everywhere and nuclear reactors having to reduce power generation due to heatwaves, is the right time to announce you will "unlock" €30B of which €10B will be taxpayers money to build „AI“ factories that will steal electricity and water in significant amounts, water and electricity that we, your constituents, should get priority access to.
This might get me in trouble but I’ve often thought that NixOS could be reimagined with nu :-) For my taste it would be also more elegant approach.
Conceptual configuration.nux:
export def main [] {
{
hostname: "evil"
users: [
{ name: "jarkko" groups: [wheel network] shell: bash }
]
packages: [bash git vim]
services: {
sshd: { enable: true port: 22 }
nginx: {
enable: true
sites: [
{ server_name: "example.com" root: "/var/www" }
]
}
}
networking: {
firewall: { allow: [22 80 443] }
}
}
}
I’ve used NixOS at work because I had to at one point. That’s where I know it from. I don’t have much personal interest on pursuing this further but now the world has at least the idea of “NuxOS” ;-)
