Tweets about my project the Nix ecosystem, and other programming white rabbits I follow in too many holes.
I will try @[email protected].

@ProgrammerDude NixOS is magical for AI because NixOS is magical for software development.

[Thu @noteed]

So "AI safety" was not about the public. Surprise.

[Thu @noteed]

@PeterLodewijk It seems they've been careful to say best overall open weight model, excluding Chinese open weight models, and best open weight model (including compared to Chinese models) only for some categories.

@usgraphics I spent days trying combinations of sticks and or slots on a supermicro board, and I'm pretty sure I just bent some pins in the CPU socket (but didn't want to investigate that route). You fixed it quickly.

[Thu @noteed]

@usgraphics Hopefully parallelism prevents it from reaching ours.

[Thu @noteed]

@haskellfound I like to use Nix and get my dependencies from nixpkgs. Updating nixpkgs (e.g. to get a newer GHC) is practical but often results in no longer available or broken dependencies.

[Thu @noteed]

Writing code is solved, they said.

And now they're advocating for formal methods, in a way that was not used before. And they still hide their work, instead of making it open source.

Too bad their "paced Pareto frontier" models can't point out the cognitive dissonance.

[Thu @noteed]

@useTRMNL It works, thanks!

[Thu @noteed]

@useTRMNL Is it possible to find a plugin UUID using the API? It looks like only the web interface shows it (within a URL).

[Thu @noteed]

@useTRMNL The use case is adding a private plugin to a playlist using a POST to /api/devices/{id}/playlist_items. It looks like the plugin_setting_id only works with a UUID.

[Thu @noteed]

Trying to have some fun reading some official doc about @pollenrobotics microduck, which I've ordered, only to find vibe written claudism. Why can't we have nice things.

[Thu @noteed]

@wolfr_2 @joshpuckett Maybe the design world is different.
As for me, indeed I value personal projects (but then I suppose I'm not the usual manager or HR person!)

New developer tooling startup: use our new product, it wilk help you focus on what really matters
Then every two days: here is how we redesigned our product, we're changing our pricing structure, here's a postmortem on this morning outage,...

[Thu @noteed]

@Profpatsch At least the ones done by gitlab are hidden by a simple "an error occurred" overlayed on top of a now (non too visibly) broken page.

[Thu @noteed]

Imagine relying on both GitHub and GitLab. What are the odds of getting a 500?

[Thu @noteed]

It looks like the singularity is using local models to rewrite the crazy output of Anthropic's "frontier" models.

[Thu @noteed]

Living documentation driven development should be a thing.

[Thu @noteed]

@oppili @grhmc @pliutau @github @githubstatus @GitHubCommunity We need some primitives in addition to Git, instead of replying on such platforms. They could still use the same primitives though.

[Thu @noteed]

The Amp team seems to do super interesting stuff, but I believe software development primitives should work equally well locally, on a home lab, or within the cloud. Git is such a primitive (working with remotes is easy). CI builds, shells, and so on should be similar.

[Thu @noteed]

@thorstenball Git being a primitive means I can git push to USB stick, workstation, GitHub, GitLab, and so on. I want the same for building or running processes, exposing them on the internet, see their exit code or standard output. That was not against Orb, just the primitive things I'd like.

[Thorsten Ball @thorstenball]

Some words on the amazement and the wonder and the delight you feel when you realize that you no longer need a local dev env...
