Also PRISM. Maybe the third—wait, wrong side of the array—worst.

You mention ThePicardManeuver but leave out Stamets@lemmy.world???

LoRA models still have the underlying fully trained base model underneath; it is not a complete replacement or complete modification of the model weights.

Pro tip: if you stop breathing, you’ll stop releasing CO2 into our atmosphere too.

I’m in this picture and I resent it.

A wizard wears his shirt neither over or under his robes. He wears it precisely where he wants to. Which, in my case, is instead of underwear. Would you like to see?

X was already a thing in Linux before Elon had a dream.

Fucking go ahead and take it though Elon. Wayland for the win.

Hail.

Well it’s only slightly more than one-third of almost 9000!

That that to the 3000 browser tabs I have open, two instances of VS code, the multithreaded python app I’m running and developing, the several-gigabytes large dataset that’s active in memory.

Some days, even 64 GB isn’t enough.

I’ve worked for startups too; everyone does everything all at the same time! Let the chaos reign! But it is fun in its own way.

I work for a large company now after the startup I worked for was acquired. Hierarchy, bureaucracy, layers, we’ve got it all. For worse and for better though, it allows me to focus and specialize on what I’m awesome at and furgeddaboddit (ahem! delegate) the stuff that I suck at to those who excel at those tasks.

No, this is incompetent management.

Senior engineers write enabling code/scaffolding, and review code, and mentor juniors. They also write feature code.

Lead engineers code and lead dev teams.

Principal engineers code, and talk about tech in meetings.

Senior Principal engineers, and distinguished technologists/fellows talk about tech, and maybe sometimes code.

Good managers go to meetings and shield the engineers from the stream of exec corporate bs. Infrequently they may rope any of the engineers in this chain in to explain the decisions that the engineers make along the way.

Bad managers bring engineers in to these meetings frequently.

Terrible managers make the engineering decisions and push those to the engineers.

Have you taught them any tricks?

Tell me more about this white “dye”.

Not on my map! NZ is an Australian conspiracy!

Some people use git to flog, though. See

Every time.

I work with Linux and computers professionally. Documentation is written but almost nobody reads it. I can’t count the number of times I’ve bailed out colleagues stuck on a problem by spending a few hours reading the docs and then like magic some parameter in the API solves everything. I’ve been bailed out countless times in the same way. Software and computers are complex and even those who do RTFM miss things, because documentation is information dense, often written as an afterthought to the code, and APIs are not always even internally consistent with the documentation.

But the toxicity culture around that needs to go. I love it when people geek out over distro-hopping and whatnot, but superiority complexes over what distro you use (“Arch, btw I’m so much better than you”) is fucking stupid.
