Run LLMs Locally with Docker: A Quickstart Guide to Model Runner
AI is quickly becoming a core part of modern applications, but running large language models (LLMs) locally can still be a pain. Between picking the right model, navigating hardware quirks, and optimizing for performance, it’s easy to get stuck before you even start building. At the same time, more and more developers want the flexibility […] ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » A love letter to Void Linux I installed Void on my current laptop on the 10th of December 2021, and there has never been any reinstall. The distro is absurdly stable. It’s a rolling release, and yet, the worst update I had in those years was one time, GTK 4 apps took a little longer to open on GNOME. Which was reverted after a few hours. Not only that, I sometimes spent months without any update, and yet, whenever I did update, absolutely nothing went wrong. Granted, I pretty much only did full upgrades ... ⌘ Read more

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net Its been so long and never really thought about it.

  • Arch was great but always had issues.
  • Gentoo was great but not enough patience to compile when I need something quick for work.

I haven’t really looked back since I installed Void. Sometimes it is a pain when things don’t play well with MUSL but nothing that would make me change course.

It’s been seven years since my father passed, taken from us far too soon at the age of 51. I was only 18 then, and while time has softened some of the pain, his influence remains a constant part of me. He was a person full of curiosity and passion, qualities I feel he passed down to me in his own way. ⌘ Read more

So this is a great thread. I have been thinking about this too.. and what if we are coming at it from the wrong direction? Identity being tied to a given URL has always been a pain point. If i get a new URL its almost as if i have a new identity because not only am I serving at a new location but all my previous communications are broken because the hashes are all wrong.

What if instead we used this idea of signatures to thread the URLs together into one identity? We keep the URL to Hash in place. Changing that now is basically a no go. But we can create a signature chain that can link identities together. So if i move to a new URL i update the chain hosted by my primary identity to include the new URL. If i have an archived feed that the old URL is now dead, we can point to where it is now hosted and use the current convention of hashing based on the first url:

The signature chain can also be used to rotate to new keys over time. Just sign in a new key or revoke an old one. The prior signatures remain valid within the scope of time the signatures were made and the keys were active.

The signature file can be hosted anywhere as long as it can be fetched by a reasonable protocol. So say we could use a webfinger that directs to the signature file? you have an identity like frank@beans.co that will discover a feed at some URL and a signature chain at another URL. Maybe even include the most recent signing key?

From there the client can auto discover old feeds to link them together into one complete timeline. And the signatures can validate that its all correct.

I like the idea of maybe putting the chain in the feed preamble and keeping the single self contained file.. but wonder if that would cause lots of clutter? The signature chain would be something like a log with what is changing (new key, revoke, add url) and a signature of the change + the previous signature.

In-reply-to » (#smnew7a) I admit I've always compromised on this way too much myself, always to this day having Facebook Messenger just to communicate in my families group chats. Sure I run it in a Work profile on my GrapheneOS phone that I can switch off at any time, I can completely cut it off from network access any time as well, I can have a lot of rudimentary control over it, I use it as sparingly as possible, but it doesn't change the fact everytime I use it we're funneling private convos through bloody Meta's servers and trackers etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

(I don’t really trust Android, though, and I suspect that apps can still install background services that are always active. Pure speculation and paranoid on my part, but still.)

Which is fair, but I would say the GrapheneOS devs in particular are also quite paranoid about this stuff and go to great pains to make sure this stuff can be controlled by the user.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 10.19 miles, 00:09:43 average pace, 01:39:03 duration
practicing 3 minutes running and one minute walking. not only for the knee but also for the PTC (~46.6 miles) coming in about 17 weeks. the knee actually hurt a little the first 5 miles but afterwards nothing. not sure if i finally found my stride but it felt great once the dull pain was gone.

Pinellas County Running: 3.16 miles, 00:08:30 average pace, 00:26:52 duration
aiming for whatever felt easy. the humidity really was heavy with a light fog. woke up with no real pain and it was not until the end of the run where i felt a slightly sharp pain around my left glute and a bit in the left hip as well. thinking i need to reduce mileage a bit and try to train around it until i feel good enough to get back in to a routine again.

Horry County Running: 7.00 miles, 00:09:17 average pace, 01:04:56 duration
beach run. i think it was around mile 4 where my leg and glutes had the piercing pain again. although my pace and HR did not really show it i was in a lot of pain. the following two days i took some ibuprofen which is very rare for me but i needed whatever inflammation on my ITB to ease a bit.

Fairfax County Running: 4.32 miles, 00:09:29 average pace, 00:41:01 duration
kept it easy since my left glute is a bit tight with some pain. just ran back and forth in the neighborhood hitting those rolling hills. nice chill to the air even though no rain. the pain was piercing and did not stop throughout the day. it helped to stand because sitting aggravated it more.

@prologic@twtxt.net I get the worry of privacy. But I think there is some value in the data being collected. Do I think that Russ is up there scheming new ways to discover what packages you use in internal projects for targeting ads?? Probably not.

Go has always been driven by usage data. Look at modules. There was need for having repeatable builds so various package tool chains were made and evolved into what we have today. Generics took time and seeing pain points where they would provide value. They weren’t done just so it could be checked off on a box of features. Some languages seem to do that to the extreme.

Whenever changes are made to the language there are extensive searches across public modules for where the change might cause issues or could be improved with the change. The fs embed and strings.Cut come to mind.

I think its good that the language maintainers are using what metrics they have to guide where to focus time and energy. Some of the other languages could use it. So time and effort isn’t wasted in maintaining something that has little impact.

The economics of the “spying” are to improve the product and ecosystem. Is it “spying” when a municipality uses water usage metrics in neighborhoods to forecast need of new water projects? Or is it to discover your shower habits for nefarious reasons?

Consciousness and Materialism

Hume’s Parallel

David Hume has often been quoted for his “Is” vs. “Ought” distinction.
The argument is that fact and morality are two different domains, and from no accumulation of statements of fact alone can we ever jump to a statement of morality.

We can say statements of fact such as:

  1. To be murdered is potentially painful.
  2. To be murdered is irreversible.
  3. Murder causes social dysfunction.
  4. Etc.

By merely my collecting these, we haven’t proven that _M … ⌘ Read more
