Thanks! Reliving childhood memories


How does this compare to the widely used Completely Fair Queue scheduler that Linux uses for block devices?


What are good shells in your opinion?


I prefer ITS DDT (aka HACTRN), with its built-in PDP-10 assembler and disassembler, that lets you do things like your login file customizing your prompt in assembly code to print the time by making system calls, without actually spawning any sub-jobs to merely print the time:

https://gunkies.org/wiki/ITS_DDT_Guide

  ..PROMPT
      holds the instruction which DDT uses to type out a "*".
      You can replace it with any other instruction.
      To use "%" instead of "*", deposit $1#%$> in that location
      ($> to avoid clobbering the opcode without having 
      to know what it is)
If you have to use arcane syntax and grawlix profanity, you should at least have direct efficient access to the full power of the CPU and operating system.

Even the Apple ][ Integer Basic monitor ROMs had a build-in mini assembler and disassembler.

I keep submitting PR’s to get my assembler extensions in Fish and ZSH but so far no avail. Ideally all scripting should be done in single-clock-cycle assembly statements.

I mean it makes write-only languages like Perl look like beautiful prose but it’s hard to argue about efficiently setting the 20 environment variables used by my terraform jobs with a mere 20 clock cycles. It may seem silly but every clock cycle truly matters.


it's not silly! <3


rc and 9front's philosophy. Unix, but better and removing all the cruft.


Any prompt or system setup examples which work well?


There's no need to tweak the default prompt with this approach. Just make sure that, at the point when the model starts generating, it already has "Yes sir!" as the first tokens of the response message.

It's very easy in the API, obviously, but most local chatbot apps can also do this. E.g. in text-generation-webui, there's literally a textbox in the chat labelled "Start reply with". In LM Studio, you can pre-create a response message with the desired prefix and then use the "Continue" action on it.


Close Windows, many doors open


The human mind wonders and takes time to dream autonomously. Perhaps the llm.c we need for the next breakthrough addresses rounds of meditation in it's training in order to provoke more reason alike features to the NextGen LLM.


Nested virtualization is running virtual machines inside other virtual machines. Like the movie inception


For a practical example: running WSL in Windows in macOS.


thank you, I am a noob. This sound like an amazing addition. Would this mean I could run a linux distro on an ipad which has M3 chip?


No, iPadOS doesn’t have virtualization support, only macOS does.


So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles.


Interesting I have the same task, can you share your tools? My goal is to detect if documents contain GDPR sensitive parts or are copies of official documents like ID's and driving licenses etc - would be great to reuse your work!


Working in the same sector, we’ll license it out soon.


Open-WebUI has support for doing that, it works using #tags for each document so you can ask questions about multiple specific documents.
