@whitequark@mastodon.social @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social ...and this is how we lose the societal ability to build a pyramid, because software dev becomes too individualized. no collaboration beyond what fits in some llm's memory

@whitequark@mastodon.social @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social while doomscrolling the musk website earlier i saw a vibecoder bro's take that went something like:
in the future there'll be no libraries, don't need them when claude will just generate a quicksort or whatever within your project
and i think this is quite revealing. llms will let you vibe a medium-sized (within context size) project, but none of that code will be reusable, or reuse other code. you won't extract and publish bits of it standalone because it's all slop.

@domi@donotsta.re OVH cold object storage is about that price, scaleway was also suggested.
Another option is your own tapes, if you can get access to a drive. You could make use of the library at hswaw. Still leaves the problem of moving and storing the tapes physically somewhere tho.
RE: @implr@social.hackerspace.pl
i should finally get around to reporting the zfs catastrophe this causes as a bug
device falls of the bus, kernel removes it, any zfs kthread that tried to touch that pool gets stuck, any userspace io ends in D, can't even export the pool

- i got frustrated in my first manual attempt, so probably not. if i got to the reading kernel source part (what the llm did) it'd be interesting but still frustrating because:
- there wasn't even a code mistake, it's purely user error. i flipped the wrong kconfig flag months ago and didn't know. so i'd be pretty angry at myself

Turns out I was using the stupid model (Sonnet vs Opus) by default, so I switched. Another 150k of context (mostly loading what the previous one did) later, it poked a few more files in sysfs and it figured it out.
I have mixed feelings about this.
Could I have done this myself? Yes.
Would it have taken me an entire day? Absolutely.
Would I learn a lot? Sure.
Is it worth a day of my free time to know the intimate details of ALSA codec-LED binding? Eh, probably not.

but really there's no other [Q]SFP28 capable hardware in these racks yet, so it'll be 10/40G stuff for now.

context: I got a Thinpad T14gen6 AMD recently and installed #gentoo on it. Besides the typical oopsie of forgetting to compile in a touchpad driver or something, it works almost flawlessly. Almost.
The mute LED on the f1 key doesn't work.
I tried some easy things with no results, so fuck it, let's have the clanker try. It'll be fun to watch it fail.

I gave Anthropic 20 bucks and ran Claude Code (with manual approval of every shellout) with a pretty basic prompt (this is the problem, the running kernel is in /usr/src/linux/, any other info you can get from sysfs or pactl, figure it out).
It spent hundreds of thousands of tokens "investigating", then ran out of daily quota.
I considered it a failure at this point, but decided to give it another try next morning.
@kbm0@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @azonenberg@ioc.exchange is it really still cheap? I've been a refurb enterprise flash enjoyer but all the usual places got the same price rise as the new market

If you managed to get the page swapped out first (with an oom condition or sth), then probably yes, but idk how the page cache interacts with .text mappings to be sure.
If that is possible, then there should be plenty of tasty targets in pid1 - systemd is a pretty thicc binary

Yes, a BF2/3 is basically a rpi4 or 5 glued to a cx4 NIC, with power use higher than both of those.
However, I don't think it's fair to compare an old bluefield with a modern x86 host. The newer incarnations have Neoverse V2 cores which should be just as (if not more) efficient than current x86.
There's a reason most hyperscalers use a variant of this tech for their clouds, and they're extremely sensitive to power OPEX.
