Looking forward to when Europe and China also launch their own satellite internet constellations

You can use nix alongside guix, it'll just double-up the dependencies on disk:

services (append (list (service nix-service-type))
                    %base-services)))

Services are, in guix terms, any configuration change to a computer, so creating your own service 99% of the time is just extending etc-service-type and creating a variable interface to fill in the config file text yourself

Creating a service as in a daemon of some kind uses shepherd and involves extending shepherd-service-type or home-shepherd-service-type with your service description, depending on whether the service runs in root or user space.

Shepherd service configurations aren't actually part of the guix spec(https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/manual/shepherd.html#Defining-Services), but still use Guile, so you can interoperate them super easily.

It's important in guix to understand lisp pretty thoroughly, and knowing how to program lisp is still a very useful skill to have so I'd recommend learning it even if you never touch guix.

I use guix because, while it has a small community, the packaging language is one of the easiest I've ever used.

Every distro I've tried I've always run into having to wait on packages or support from someone else. The package transformation scheme like what nixos has is great but Nixlang sucks ass. Being able to do all that in lisp is much preferred.

Plus I like shepherd much more than any of the other process 0's

Key point in the article is this:

On a visit to the former Tsukiji fish market area in downtown Tokyo, Yuuka Fujikawa from Hokkaido, said she has hardly seen whale meat sold at supermarkets. “I’ve actually never tried it myself,” she said.

I've never seen it in the supermarket and I've only seen whale meat at a restaurant once (whale bacon, it was called, and it was literally fishy bacon. I can see why nobody is fucking buying that shit)

The industry is dying (rightfully) and you have a bunch of people trying to keep it afloat.

One of the few practical things AI might be good at:

The ISS is aging, and for safety’s sake, NASA intends to incinerate the immense facility around 2031. To accomplish the job, the agency will pay SpaceX up to $843 million, according to a statement released on June 26.

See you guys in 2040

I would recommend instead to use the AI Horde: https://stablehorde.net/ It's a collection of people hosting stable diffusion/text generation models

There's also openrouter which can connect to ChatGPT with a token-based system. (They check your prompts for hornyposting though)

They should probably do the same with cascade, seeing as that license seems to be more restrictive as well

I've seen this said multiple times, but I'm not sure where the idea that model training is inherently non-deterministic is coming from. I've trained a few very tiny models deterministically before...

I'm not sure where you get that idea. Model training isn't inherently non-deterministic. Making fully reproducible models is 360ai's apparent entire modus operandi.

There are VERY FEW fully open LLMs. Most are the equivalent of source-available in licensing and at best, they're only partially open source because they provide you with the pretrained model.

To be fully open source they need to publish both the model and the training data. The importance is being "fully reproducible" in order to make the model trustworthy.

In that vein there's at least one project that's turning out great so far:

Holy crap there are still working nitter instances? God bless

You could try Guix! It's ostensibly source based but you can use precompiled binaries as well (using the substitute system)

It's a source-first Functional package distro like Nix but uses Scheme to define everything from the packages to the way the init system (Shepherd) works.

It's very different from other distros but between being functional, source-first, and having shepherd, I personally love it

Have you tried toys yet?

It might be on some person's channel

Tango closed cause it was the one of the only studios under Zenimax that wasn't currently making a game with "executive producer: Todd Howard" squirted all over it

There's a weird implicit conservancy in tech circles around the dictatorial nature of corporate leadership.

It stems from this weird externalization of corporate decision making that just turns everything that happens at large companies into the machinations of the unknowable machine of capital.

"Of course they were fired, they protested in a way that disrupted the business, if the business is disrupted the machine must correct itself, and it did so by releasing the corporate anti-bodies of leadership to fire the disruptive element. Thus the machine is corrected. This is all logically sound, and thus impervious to moral inquisition."

How do you end up doing this? I've been wanting to do the same thing and I'm curious how proton and apparmor interact

It's cause Epic/McKesson has complete control over the EMR world so everything has to work with them to some degree.

GNU health is great but I haven't seen where it could support the massive amount of legal and monetary hoops that Epic and co have to jump through as well.

For some reason there just isn't a lot of volunteer efforts/space for open source development in the healthcare world.

I'm assuming with as small as a tin foil hat as possible that the CIA and NSA purposefully do this in major closed and open source software

This feels like the same kind of issue mesa just had around the zlib update breaking downstream user programs (viewperf). If there are significant downstream issues for users you shouldn't upgrade, even if that is the end goal.

Projects that are big and important get old and bloated because they need to try and span legacy issues alongside their attempts at newer paradigms. It's just kind of the natural lifecycle of these projects.
