Who Moved my Cheese? Animated Summary YouTube video by Wisdom for Life

I'm going to start moving the cheese for a lot people pretty soon.

for the proprietay bits, make a partnership of some sort between my employer and yours that necessitates an advisory board role exist for them, and then as the person with the most relevant experience I get told to do it.. i bitch and moan about the extra work..for appearances.. but I get read in.

it would be pedantically interesting to know how well the final values fit within the currently "unlocked" planned parameter tolerances. I think that would say something about the overall approach.

Like what the final delta is between the pre-SPARC plan for ARC and what gets locked in. In particular if ARC is being initially designed with some amount of wiggle room. some parameter value tolerances that the late lockin plan expects the final values to live within...

But that doesn't mean you stop the planning process just because there may be an unknown unknown out there.
What would be most interesting to me, because I'm a nerd is a summary of what gets learned at SPARC that materially impacts ARC..

Hey, professional skeptic reporting in.
I don't understand the criticism of this approach. Is there a risk that SPARC doesn't hit a target, and there is some sort of unexpected nonlinear physics that pops up? Yes..always. That's why you do the demo sized device.

ITS ALWAYS DNS

Damn you automatic spellcheck

Yes, everything is garbage.
Even the things I care about.

But I aspire to be the trash heap from Fragile Rock.

"I'm orange peels, I'm coffee grounds, I'm wisdom!"

I'm mostly the 2nd thing right now... but I bought some oranges.. so there's still hope for me to grow.

the best decision I have made in years was deciding to change my wife's text message notification on my phone to "Hey! Listen" Navi voice from the Zelda games.

echo "sudo make me a sandwhich" | sed 's/sudo/ai/g'

wrong answers only..
You have a HP-UX 11.11 system on a private hardwired network with no internet access and no support for removable usb drives and no cd-r. You need to retrieve a text file from in in the year 2025... what do you do.

Dubious Food "It's too gross to even look at. A bizarre smell issues forth from this heap. Eating it won't hurt you though... probably." — In-game description A Dubious Food is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Br...

The real question is, who would be brave enough to commit to eating food from AI generated recipes?

Maybe that should be my requirement from now on. If I'm going to take you seriously as an AI proponent, then you have to make and eat an AI generated meal.

But because of that, basic food recipes, ingredients and cooking instructions. are a perfectly cromulent data source to train AI on without the copyright ethical issues.

The most ethical use of LLM AI in the US right now is food recipe generation. In the US, basic food recipes are not copyrightable under the law, weird I know.. it is what it is.

I never thought I would instantaneously be both technophile and luddite... but here we are... thanks AI.

Who has two thumbs and is going back to Vegas to curl in September? This guy...

Going back with the same team even though I'm no longer in Alaska with them.

every day I learn a new reason to look forward to 2038.

i just wanted to say the word yonk a few times.

Shrug...
That's no different than asking a project who provides an installable container that runs on any linux distro whether they built their C library deps from source or yonked them from the base image their container was based on.

There's a lot of yonking going on. So much yonking.

In fact nearly everything that is proprietary application should be an appimage and the vendor should take responsibility for all the libraries it needs.

I'm going to say something controversial... steam is exactly the sort of thing that appimage format is meant for. appimage isn't a container or a sandbox.. its just a way to bundle an application and all its dependencies together in a vendor'd approached.

The 32bit maintainer problem is coming for us all.

If Ubuntu drops 32 libs in its next LTS to avoid the epochalypse.... then you can expect CI/CD based testing of these builds to crater...and then you can expect upstream projects to deprecate.

Life Hack:
Because both my wife and I have PhDs.. we're gonna start scheduling afternoon dates during workdays and call them doctor appointments.

There must be a minimal set of required host provided deps, and the rest is runtime bundled. But I don't see that documented. If it were documented I would expect it to be in the tarball version of the installer. But I don't see it...but my eyes are bad..so could be me.

Since runtimes are downloadable, then the only sane way to deal with that, even on SteamOS devices, is to have the runtime deps vendor bundled as part of the runtimes. Because a new runtime minor or major version is released independently of the client or SteamOS.

Different games will need different runtimes. Just spotchecking randomly free to play linux games I have 2 different runtimes downloaded and installed.

All of this is quite dynamic.

and of course now ive been told that this is not sufficient as steam downloads _different_ runtimes depending on which game is run and the runtimes will have different library deps. But honestly I'll be _shocked_ if valve hasn't appropriately vendored all its downloadable runtime deps.
