I was sarcastic with my Python mention. Of course it is near suicidal to "solve" the problem of compile-time errors by using a language with no compile-time checking. The same errors are still in there, but the program starts and throws the...

That indeed is the question. Also, how good does that thinking model reality? How much will that thinking hurt each one of us (Joe Sixpack, Ivan Ivanovich, ...). If there is a god, maybe he should put a quota on how much power any one person...

You could conduct a test. Take some LLM and let it write some Rust program, something with a bit of bite in data structures. Try to compile it. If you are like me you'll find compile time errors galore. Of course that is "not a problem" if you...

From perciva on reddit:

sorry if the words bigots and curses are too strong. I was seeking for the place to introduce my program. I am not cursing you and not turning up your noses. it was a little out of the place...

The pacat workaround that the first post of the thread mentions is unnecessary.

I changed the brand jvc in /etc/bluetooth/hosts to headphones & added the load_devd="YES" in the rc.conf. It somehow is ok

base_release_3 seems to refer to a specific X.3-RELEASE base package repository? That doesn't seem correct.

Using just packages including for updates, I only have RC1. /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf has FreeBSD-base: { url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_3", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints"...

git clone -b releng/15.0 https://git.freebsd.org/src.git 😁

I have the older model PinePower, works rather well, usually charges my Galaxy S23 Ultra and buds quite quickly. The V2 version should be able to provide all the power you need. It even supports wireless charging...

-T was “install entry in /dev/sndstat” in 1.2.x, which is the default behavior now. Just simply skip -T, it will work fine.

Hello "convert" - I'm not at all sure about that! But maybe you will find this useful: https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot

It's right on time. But you typically make sure packages and images are available before announcing they are available. It's somewhat counter-productive if you announce something is available when it's not, in fact, available...

Hello "convert" - I'm not at all sure about that! But maybe you will find this useful: https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot

I really don't have much experience with ZFS, but would like to know about it. Is it possible to convert an existing FreeBSD installation to ZFS? I realise I can't do this in situ.

One machine has a CPU with AVX2 (11th gen Intel Core or later) and the other a CPU without (10th gen or older)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX2

I charge my phone(s) with the power supply from the lenovo laptop when in a hurry. MUCH faster than the wall wart, and you need to keep the protective case open to avoid having a hot brick in your pocket (well, winter is comming, so...)

A common mistake I've seen newbies make, putting commands like sysrc in rc.conf. Don't do that, don't put any command in rc.conf. This file is sourced countless times from within rc scripts and your commands will get executed each and every time...

Topics about unsupported FreeBSD versions No, it doesn't? What makes you think interfaces have been added automatically? Maybe you are using net/cloud-init or something similar? There's nothing in the standard rc scripts that 'automagically'...

Yes, you just use `import -f`` if the ZFS filesystem has not been exported before the OS change.

It is impossible to enforce a complete ban on AI generated code (or any text).

Could a external Dockstation also be useful in this case ?

https://www.amazon.com/GLOTRENDS-Ports-Expansion-Including-Cables/dp/B0BNF2W9ZD 40 USD will buy you a PCIe add in card with six SATA ports if there is an issue with you motherboard SATA Controller. Im using this...

Sorry for the late reply. On the external devices is only user data. What I actually mean is if my SSD for whatever reasons breaks, and I cannot boot anymore so, I replace it. Then if I install FreeBSD anew can I still get access to the HDD ZFS...

Linux kernel is a huge domain-specific project. An engineer has to, obviously, know the language it was written in, but that is just the thin, stable fundament. Bulk of his knowhow is about the domain stuff. If he's a driver writer he must know...

Some interesting thoughts, but I think something is missing. I once was part of a team for adaptive hardware (not sure how far I can go into details) some 20 years ago. We had speedups of x1000, from standard C code to FPGA. And that went down...

The way I see it, autogenerated code would not need to use rust. The arguing about memory safety can be done when generating the solution, then generate the code. The code itself needs no checks, it was generated in the knowledge that it is safe...

Manley Pager You aren't following along (a problem for kids like you) and you describe the games as if they are different when they are not beyond the scenarios which is what I stated.

I've been doing that for ten years and still waiting for it to fail!

According your ps aux RSS the top two memory processes are: librewolf 2 814.82 MB (web browser) baloo 1 334.48 MB (search index) I think you should look into baloo_file indexing. https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration

Original article here. Consider this when replying. The first release candidate build for the FreeBSD 15.0 release cycle is now available. ISO images for the amd64, armv7, aarch64, powerpc64, powerpc64le, and riscv64 architectures are FreeBSD...

Do not change the gateway, wg-quick does all, it must work after giving above commands.

As k.jacker suggested, please show us the output of the swapinfo command. We are interested in seeing the "Device", and knowing if it's a swap file or a disk partition. Swap files, especially if resident in a ZFS file system, will take us in a...

Apropos not matching the port name, not only non-trivial ports but also trivial ports like deskutils/bookworm are affected. I had to look up the packages binary name, the "bookworm" command couldn't be found. It turns out the binary is named...

Trying to figure out the binary for webkit2-gtk_60 was fun :p I needed MiniBrowser but it isn't extracted to a bin folder: /usr/local/libexec/webkitgtk-6.0/MiniBrowser I usually look for stuff like pkg info -l 'webkit2-gtk_60' | grep 'bin'...

Yes, it can generate more than text and code. But the "language" part of the LLM designation comes from the input. The ability to describe in human language what you want it to do.

USB does 240 watt now with 20 volt.

Never heard of that brand and I don't like they they don't list which port delivers how much power. You need to find out how much maximum power your laptop can take while charging and running. Otherwise it might charge slower than it could.

Would this do?

Now you lost me. Code generated by an LLM is code generated by generated code? I don't classify it as that. Code generated by an LLM is generated by a programmer who has severe weaknesses telling good information from bad.

I never talked in this thread under the premise that the generator is autogenerated. (except the Python/C++ example if you count C++ as autogenerated in itself)

I find code generated from LLMs to be not technically sound enough. And existing code that has been changed by LLMs even less so. You will have a hard time to come up with a prompt that changes existing code in one way without redoing lots of...

If the laptop has charging through USB-C you just need a powerful enough USB-C changer with multiple outputs.

For starters - Linus, in the case of the AMD graphics drivers. Google also uses Python scripts to write C++ code in quite a few places. (they did when I was there, C++ made some progress since then, so maybe they don't have to anymore) If you...

I thinking about buying a new phone charger, put would like one which doubles as a power supply for my laptop. Is there such a thing? What should I look for?

Generated code is fine if the generator is controlled by a competent human. Heck, they built an entire programming language around generics (C++).

? Of course AI-generated code is different from code generated by a human-written script. The LLM makes stuff up for starters.

Yeah, but again, the question is what generated that code in the kernel. It is well known that AMD submits code for their GPU drivers that is automatically generated by their/out of their chip design software. That is entirely different from...

For people who are already very experienced. On the level of writing drivers for a GPU for which no driver writing documentation exists. I am more concerned with people who have talent and are starting out. Will they come in with existing Rust...
