looks like it splits files on %% delimiters and does some simple parsing for double-quoted string substitutions while also emitting some Tcl code with set commands. not that hard, and we're not going to put it into the slop machine to check; if...

anyway, if the OP is interested, we have a challenge. We'll provide an undocumented, nontrivial program, and you can slop out all the documentation you want. Then i'll post the documentation we wrote, and the public can compare results. Amenable?

the "prompt" for this image is "dr house diagnosing tony soprano with lupus". you want to trust this system, which cannot keep these two men separate, to write documentation that has to be both correct and meaningful to humans? really?

Can't you just use a text editor to write things?

Well, I don't think the goal should be pleasing everyone but not harming anyone would be a fine goal. But the real questions is "What will the elected core team policy be?" :D The rest of what you are saying is a geopolitical reference, in which...

I would disagree, the idea of forcing an idea or a program onto others is not ethical. Implying that one must or has to accept something is also typically "doomerism" inspiring. Artificial Intelligence research and applications have been around...

Interestingly neither Firefox or Thunderbird ESR pkgs exist 16.0-CURRENT Edit: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295409

Yes, as said the llamas will just default to CPU mode. I run like that by accident every now and then.

I kinda agree. I see some problematic developments: 1. Heavy-metal tends to be guitar-solo centric and over time the tendency has been to play them to perfection. So on one end of the spectrum you have Led Zeppelin, where each live album is...

Nicely put, with a great example!

What? Who are we and who gave them permission on the entire intellectual output of mankind?

In first 3 minutes of this video there is enough transparent proof from that GenAI for music is nothing but copyright infringement machine. And how the money behind it props up paid actors to push the 'tech' in everyone's face. View...

Hi everyone. I've tried several agents (opencode, claude, goose, bytebot), and by far I love hermes the most. So I forked it April 9th or so, and made it so it works in FreeBSD natively, with no linux emulation. You just need rust, make...

Yes, misc/ollama and misc/llama-cpp are what you want if you intend to run a model on CPU only.Small LLMs can generate an acceptable tg/s (tokens generated per second), but larger models require heavy computation, so you should expect the tg/s...

Looks like that. Google AI has helped :) This works for me: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"...

Just a small question that is not directly related to the agent stuff. Is there a way to run a local model on FreeBSD without having a useful GPU? I’ve got a 32-smt Ryzen-9 machine with 64 GB RAM, but without an AI-capable GPU.

As the support for AMD GPUs in FreeBSD is confusing (well in general), here is an handy table for theoretical support as constructed from Linux Kernel LTS release documentation. Please remember that: Only FreeBSD 15.1/16 support DRM 6.12 (more...

That information is very outdated it seems.

I agree that this repository didn’t put much effort. I’m unsure if this repository was partially AI-generated itself because the raw README.md file in markdown show HTML tags with repetitive <br /> in its syntax (instead of no space e.g. <br/>)...

Looks like we reached the end of the flag pole. Any last comments?

I'm certain that is not the intent of the codeberg page. It's in fact stated in the page that the information should not be used for purposes other than informational. There is no reason to believe that a proponent of "AI" programs, who may...

I think I know a thing or two about McCarthyism because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tascón_List It starts with shaming projects and eventually shaming also developers. Do you know about the Unabomber? There are lots of crazies out there.

How does jwm compare against other “classic” minimalist window managers, say, ctwm? Currently I use ctwm for small X11 servers on remote machines that are accessed via VNC with limited bandwidth. If jwm has any advantages, I might consider...

Just to pile on, on the front page there are 7 HTML errors and 40 warnings along with 4 CSS errors and 121 warnings. This is the first time I've had a look at it and I've only spent a few minutes. It's not horrible but I wouldn't have done a...

Good to know. I use firefox-esr, because at some time it avoided problems that "new features" introduced in the normal version. If they solve something, they spoil at the same time other things, as you see in my post above about...

Filed a bug report: 295653

Looks like lsof was fixed a little while back; I installed 16.0-CURRENT about an hour ago and Xfce installed and is up fine :D

I'm on 16.0-CURRENT now firefox-151.0.2,2 and the cursor changes on link hover with widget.gtk.legacy-cursors.enabled false

I will not "fix" that, I would either trash the programs that not work with X11. And it is a better idea and a wonderful piece of software. It lacks of good judgement to recommend to trash a good working program to satisfy a trash program like...

For long time X11 was praised as something good, networked and better (as an idea) than local GUI of Windows.

I think I/O could be about the same; with World of Warcraft I log into the world about the same time FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows; but while FreeBSD is the fastest, Linux and Windows have OBS CPU-side (along with Windows having another game +...

Just a FreeBSD user which wants to play games and generally have a good desktop experience :) I like to help out if it's something that I can do. And the current state of graphics support on freebsd does need help :P

Please go to devel/qt6-base or devel/qt6-languageserver and type male clean configure check configure output what is missing. I believe you need misc/py-spdx-tools

Did you try without that cpu_microcode_load="YES" cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"

Not a requirement. A binary installation is no problem. It required a clean FreeBSD 15 GENERIC system Without anyrhing installed or compiled, and a recent portstree.

It would be an improvement today. What a piece of garbage Javascript is. It's kept up by the advertising empire. The primary goals are personal tracking and artificial obsoletion of computers.

That old hardware is super nostalgic, honestly. I remember fixing up an old Toshiba laptop with barely any RAM and running some ancient Linux on it, it was slow but way more satisfying getting it up and working than using new stuff. Those chunky...
