The term "single use software" currently lives rent free in my head.
People use LLMs to create software specific for their needs. But neither can other people use it (hardcoded variables, no rights management, too specific), nor do they use it again (too specific, easier to produce a new one).
Single use software is not maintained. Nobody understands it or has an interest in keeping it working.

It only takes a very rudimentary understanding of economics to see that, in the long run, the market price of running "agentic AI" (or whatever the latest buzz becomes) and the salary of any kind of knowledge worker can only be separated by a gap that's dependent on *management's* ability to tell their output apart.
There is a cosmic-scale gap between the long-term value to a company in paying a salary to a human vs. getting an LLM to "do" the "same" work, but it's a gap that many people are investing heavily in hiding right now, and CEOs and managers become incredibly gullible when you promise them they won't have to deal with humans who might ask for raises, even though it should be obvious you plan to jack up prices once they're locked in. They also aren't well-known for a deep understanding of how their workers actually generate value, and tend to be easily distracted by shiny but shallow demos, which is exactly what LLMs can produce well.
Even in the most optimistic scenario I can imagine for these developments, the myth of upward mobility that's been a lynchpin for defusing class solidarity among wage laborers is going to take a significant beating. There's a completely obvious game plan underway to try to use fascism to shore up the power of the wealthy against any kind of mass movement, and to play the ancient divide-and-conquer game along race and gender lines just as usual, so the range of outcomes is huge, but every time you use an LLM you're pushing this closer to a sharper conflict.

🐍 Best fit is algorithmic code that can be tailored to hardware, but plain Python and PyTorch graphs also benefit, since the company says they are often far from optimal even under Torch's compiler.
🔧 Tracing and profiling overhead is capped at 2%, zero when idle. Setup: install the runtime, run your code. The model is hosted by doubleAI, so some trust is required.

Here is another thing I use containers for:
I use #lmstudio to run local llms. When you do that, you quickly notice that chatgpt and claude are not only so good because their llms are good, it's also about the tool use and the harness, even in the chat application.
A pure LLM is pretty stupid (as Mastodon people will point out "occasionally").
The real magic is via tool use and lmstudio can do that. So you need an mcp for web search, and this and that and I run all those in Containers.

It’s Wednesday, and we’ve got a new demo.
https://retrofit.sh/demos/pull-and-sync/
In the demo we simulate a standard developer flow.
Perhaps I should also mention that there's two monitors, mirrored to show the same thing. One is at sitting height and one is attached the the wall at standing height.
Under the monitors, two keyboards, two mice (one set cordless, the other set fancy). The mice are upright mice for wrist safety.
The two laptops sit on the shelf at standing height next to the standing monitor.
One is plugged into the projector, it is the jellyfin server too.
One is the work laptop which has restricted access to the internet and upon which I installed the OS myself. Similar setup. No backups though, that laptop only has checkouts from work projects and installed tools.
It ain't mine, but I have root. But it has run mandated software from companies associated with intelligence services. My own hardware does not (deliberately) do that. It has tape over the camera when not in use. Generally turned off when not working.
The sitting keyboard is a Dygna and it is great, once you apply my special config files. The click, the lights, the separation and mobility of the hand position. The tilt. The pads. The configuration. Awesome. With the right config files. Yours for an investment of just two million.
The standing keyboard is a wireless MS split-keyboard. Separate number-pad. The only good thing MS ever made. When I heard they discontinued them I bought backups, there's two more in the cupboards.
The tower itself has a window case, led lights, led fans, and is in a cupboard in the corner which in turn has a window with led lit fans.
There's four VR masks here now the Frame has arrived and the Steam Machine for the bedroom might arrive next week.
Good job, the fridge palmtop powering the kitchen screen has been quarantined this week for swelling battery syndrome.

At this point, I started to look deeper at performance. Compute instance startup was taking over 30 seconds, and each generation propagation was about 55-75 seconds
I worked this from a few angles:
- parallelize actions (health checks, integrity checks, propagation initiation, and terminating ancestors) [30% gain]
- rebuild and reduce the AMI below Ubuntu minimal to fit in 2GiB EBS volumes (reduced cost and increased speed by also bundling the glider daemon and boto3 SDK in the AMI) [30% gain]
- switched from AWS CLI to boto3 SDK [5-10% gain]
- switched from CloudFormation creation stacks to using EC2 API directly with LaunchTemplate [under 5% gain total, surprisingly, but the time to initial instance startup is faster so I might be able to do better somewhere here]
- WIP: further refactoring of the daemon propagation steps especially around initial health/integrity checks
I still think I'm missing something major that's extending propagation times, despite benchmarking phases through several trials
I also optimized for cost (reduced DDB calls, abandoned KMS, reduced log & audit retention to the latest run, etc), and it's about a penny for a 10 generation run (and it scales sublinearly, mostly, since the instances are terminated afterwards)

I don't really understand what Omarchy even is, other than a front for corporations to donate money to fascism.
It sounds like it's not even a full distro really, just Arch with a bunch of config files?
I mean: If you can get millions of pounds for your config these days, my config is:
Three-key keyboard shortcuts for:
They are all ctrl-alt and keys around J on the keyboard. I move my windows around like a wizard.
5x2 virtual desktops. Move between them with ctrl-alt left/right/up/down. Shift to carry the current window as you move.
The desktop configuration is:
Main:
One-Desktop-left, messenger screen:
Telegram will be phased out. Nearly done.
One desktop right, lights.
One desktop down: Godot-coding.
Diagonal right-down: Steam.
Diagonal left-down, spreadsheets.
Rarely active really.
The other desktops are for sundry tasks as and when they might arise.
The OS is on the root of the hard-drive and /home/pre is mounted from a set of zfs drives that frankly need rethinking and reorganizing.
Directories in there:
In /pub we have basically the Jelly-fin formats with side-directories.
In /doc we have
Vimwiki is my opinionated choice for personal journal and reference notes. It is amazing and I should have gone with markdown from the start but it's still all in vimwiki syntax.
I will post the basic structure of the vimwiki only if this post gets 50 boosts or thousands of dollars in donations.
It is several levels deep with symlinks into the project directories.
Then of course there's the server-config which there's flavours of, and the way those servers are backed up, and the themes for the things.
Nextcloud, ttrss, goto-social, mastodon, peertube. I got servers running 'em all.
Can I get me some of those fascist dollars if I publish my config for mixing gotosocial with a static website to combine a social and web identity into one?
It's basically just an nginx config and a hugo run and some scripts.
If I install all that and snapshot it can I have the millions of fascists money please?
