Hello, I’m an archivist who does things.
E? E.
https://alliancespaceguard.com, pretty much daily. Can’t wait for it to release.
I do a lot of incredibly specific VHDL and 45GS02 asm, so the answer is none.
Even if I didn’t do obscure things with obscure languages, answer’d still be none, because I’d rather spend a few hours learning what the code does and how to use it, instead of “just hope the output runs” while not knowing what and why it’s trying to do what it’s doing.
War on the Sea
Considering I’m a programmer with the physical characteristics of spaghetti, I’d be really screwed if I ended up on a USN vessel in WW2.
Accidentally put grub on the wrong partition on the device, which it was not happy with. Was able to copy some files over, manually boot the OS, and reconfigure grub to be in the right partition, took me about 2 hours? Then I did it again on a different machine, and speedran it lol
The hell is autocorrect? (I use Unexpected Keyboard)
Also, my distro of choice is generally Debian or Kubuntu. I am aware that using canonical’s distro is gonna get me skinned alive, and I have serious issues with some of the OS, but it also hasn’t given me enough frustration to outright replace it yet. Especially when you consider that I’m running it on a Surface Pro 9 of all things, and Debian doesn’t have a new enough Plasma version last I checked.
Wow, that was a rant, oops.
Aa far as I’m aware, incremental synthesis is vivado trying to build a new FPGA bitstream by modifying a snapshot of the previous build, to ostensibly save time. Because the SID FPGA implementation is a relatively small part of the MEGA65 core, it really likes to forget to add any changes I make, especially related to timing optimization (it took me so long to figure out it had re-enabled itself, after disabling it my total negative slack was cut in half due to it finally registering all the pipelining and other optimization). I’ve also had vivado outright lock up with some cases.
People can also stop saying words and think for a second about the information they’re actually saying first, whereas an LLM just vomits up words that seem to match the pattern of the rest of the sentence. If I were to ask you what 2 + 2 is, you’d stop, run the math in your head, get 4, then reply with 4. An LLM would just start vomiting out words based on what it’s been trained on without verifying that the information is good (or even relevant), and can end up confidently telling you that 2 + 2 is in fact equal to the cube root of 5 because that’s what the data said so it has to be right, for instance.
I’m aware this is a drastic oversimplification, and I think the tech is neat (although I avoid non-self-hosted models like the plague due to privacy concerns), but it’s oversold to all hell, and is definitely not even close to intelligent.
I call my server “the server”, “the shitbox”, or “the 36TB”, my pc “the PC”, and my surface… “the surface”. Creative, I know.
Iceraven (firefox fork that lets me do more with it) and Mull.
