I wonder of I could sell "FOSS packages" for local startups.

You think there’s a market for something like this?
Not to be too facetious… but it’s called SMB consulting, homie.
What anyone in that industry will tell you is that it’s extremely sink or swim, and the hard part is finding reliable clients willing to pay you appropriately.
If you really wanna go that route, start by registering an LLC and putting together your shared template you wanna build from. Wouldn’t recommend going all-in until you have a few steady clients on your roster, but you can certainly dip your toes in without much headache to see if it’s something you like.

Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

I’ve never had that be an issue in practice. The NV DC drivers cover this need quite well IME: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

It’s also the best route I’ve found for setting up CUDA, so two birds, one stone.

Creative Item Ideas

I tend to hand my players quasi-OP items while gating the power very deliberately so I can counterplay it as DM.

E.g. my party’s sorcerer got a magic amulet that can be activated once per long rest to give allies advantage on the next attack — but I added the catch that it only has a 5 ft effect radius, so the players can only exploit it so much without risking major AoE damage.

It’s a nice reliable buff most of the time, but forces the players to be strategic and take risks to make the most of it… And from an RP perspective, the enemy characters might be likely to notice the party grouping around some magic artifact and go after the sorcerer as a result.

When & why did the word "muff" become a crass euphemism for a woman's crotch area?

Jump

dgdft @lemmy.world 2d ago

Circa 1699 per OED. Figurative extension of the existing meaning.

Scientists find a new way coronaviruses can get into human cells— An international team of researchers has identified an East African bat coronavirus capable of entering human cells.

I was curious too and found this review article that covered the topic pretty well:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12230189/#mbt270190-sec-0020

Selected immunity genes included a B‐cell chemokine, interleukins involved in immune system regulation and NF‐κB activation and genes involved in responses to pathogens. Gene losses comprised pro‐inflammatory interleukins that induce the canonical NF‐κB pathway and other pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Within gene gains, an expansion of the APOBEC gene family was most notable; these genes encode DNA‐ and RNA‐editing enzymes that are implicated in restricting viral infection and transposon activity. Interestingly, the smaller genome size of bats was related to a lower transposable element content. The authors concluded that bats had evolved immunomodulatory mechanisms that enabled a higher tolerance to pathogens than is typical among mammals.

So translated: Rather than firing off huge waves of new antibody variants trying to find one that’ll latch onto the virus, and cranking up the body temp to flush viral pathogens out completely like most mammals would, they make proteins that limit the rate that the virus can propagate into fresh cells.

Not that I disagree with the post… but the general public out here wilding about vaccines and tylenol and fluoride and shit yet missing this extra-stupid medical “conspiracy” will never not be funny to me.

The FDA doesn’t like greenlighting drugs of dubious direct clinical benefit with high abuse potential, so for the sake of expediency, Pfizer decided to push the narrative that Viagra definitely wasn’t fun unless you had peepee problems. No one wants to look like they have peepee problems, so not enough people who’ve tried it are willing to call a spade a spade and say it’s fun af regardless of age or necessity.

Thus the narrative persists.

Gardeners who start from seeds, do you use seed starting mix or go straight to potting mix?

Jump

dgdft @lemmy.world 6d ago

I use the same ingredient pool, and the catch to it is that you need to be giving the seeds some dilute liquid feed starting right after seeds sprout, since they get very little from the substrate itself.

You’ve got the right idea already; just saying this as a +1 nudge.

TIL the color "chartreuse" is named after a liqueur

Jump

dgdft @lemmy.world 2w ago

You’d want to tweak the ratios a bit for that — but yeah, I think it’s a great base for an enhanced gin rickey.

I’d probably aim for something like

1.5 oz gin
.5 oz luxardo
.5 oz green chart
1-2 oz lime

with 6-10 oz of club soda, as a very loose starting point.--

Fix Logitech deliberate banning of Linux

Jump

dgdft @lemmy.world 2w ago

Sure, 100% with you from a technical POV.

But Logitech is looking at it from a product management lens, and deciding they don’t want to support a heterogeneous mess of a web API for a niche user base that already has their own parallel tooling.

logiwebconnect.com is not some cherished keystone of their product suite either, afaict.

Jump

Logitech is actually one of the most Linux-friendly brands out there.

This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem is more or less dead in current years due to non-chrome browsers declining to add support.

Logitech products have plenty of Linux-friendly tooling like Solaar and G810-led because Logitech tacitly makes it easy to reverse engineer and hack on their hardware.

I just tried vibe coding with Claude

Jump

dgdft @lemmy.world 2w ago

Vibe coding, in the sense of telling the model to make codebase changes, then directly using the output produced, is 100% marketing bullshit that does not scale beyond toy examples.

Here’s the rub: Claude is extremely useful as an advanced autocomplete, if and only if you’re guiding it architecturally through every task it runs, and you vet + revise the output yourself between iterations. You cannot effectively pilot entirely from chat in a mature codebase, and you must compile robust documentation and instructions for Claude to know how to work with your codebase.

You also must aggressively manage information in the context window yourself and keep it clean. You mentioned going in circles trying to get the robot to correct itself: huge mistake. Rewind to before the error, and give it better instructions to steer it away from the pitfall it fell into. Same vein, you also need to reset ASAP after pushing into the >100k token mark, because the models start melting into putty soon after (yes, even the “extended” 1M-window ones).

I’m someone who has massively benefited from using modern LLMs in my work, but I’m also a massive hater at the same time: They’re just a tool, not magic, and have to be used with great care and attention to get reasonable results. You absolutely cannot delegate your thinking to them, because it will bite you, hard and fast.

For your use case (3D math), what I recommend is decomposing your end goal into a series of pure functions that you’ll string together. Once you have that list, that’s where Claude comes in. Have it stub those functions for you, then have it implement them one at a time, reviewing the output of every one before proceeding.
