@brandon yeah like an automated thing explainer. I guess if you're going up to 1024 words you might as well just use an existing model and enforce the grammar restrictions on it 😅

@3timeslazy Good insight, ty.

I find I don't really need all the data manipulation stuff and my raw bash config has been serving me well. Likely I won't boot into it but I might use it for exploring APIs/data more.

Idea: language model tokenizer that only supports the top 255 most common words and punctuation. Using this to limit an existing LLM's output via a grammar gbnf definition. Have the existing LLM "reword" training data in this limited grammar. Use it to train nanochat with a highly compressed token space. ??? Profit?

Waking up before my alarm can suck when I end up getting way less sleep than I need, but also it gives me time to make breakfast and take my time to settle into the day. Maybe one day I'll become a "morning person"

The Linux Mint installation was refreshing, everything that Win11 wasn't. It asked my language and keyboard type then asked to connect to WiFi and it ACTUALLY TOOK "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. It asked for timezone and local account name and info and spent 10-20 minutes installing the base system.

It found my printer without asking.

I cannot express how happy amd relieved I am that I successfully installed the operating system and features I wanted AND THE COMPUTER DID EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD IT TO.

That is such a rare experience anymore. The OS does the one thing it needs to do - act as a layer between application software and my hardware. Machine setup asked for the absolute minimum information to configure a usable system. One reboot and I have what I want - a fresh working system.

It's like going through the McDonald's drive-thru, ordering a cheeseburger, fries, and Diet Coke, paying, driving away, opening the bag and finding a cheeseburger, fries, and a Diet Coke plus a straw, napkins, and a few ketchup packets. Nothing in that bag is unexpected or unwanted or out of place or actively disruptive to the enjoyment of a cheeseburger, fries, and Diet Coke. So simple a well-trained and attentive teenager could do it.

It's so weird and so comforting to use software not steeped in dark patterns and twee designer excess.

My fave part of open source is being able to contribute fixes and improvements to stuff I want to use anyway. Found a bug in a library for codegen and got to contribute a more robust fix and now I don't need my workarounds~

A side effect of reduced energy drink consumption is I'm sleeping better so I can actually focus more. Cutting down on caffeine on weekends really paved the way to this further reduction.

This is probably your best reminder that Amazon Web Services is too big. So is Microsoft, and Google, and all of these companies that are gobbling up money, energy, and resources, only for things to go suddenly arse-up, like today, without being held accountable. There's no space for competition.
