You are done or the task?

The amd64 instruction set never used SIMD instructions that were i386 specific. Intel dumping AVX512 on desktop threw quite a wrench into the SIMD gears.

As of today, both lists are out of date. Qemu is looking to accept LLM generated code: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2026-05/msg07614.html

Hi, I wrote new article, guide to installing self-hosted n8n on a FreeBSD server. I describe step-by-step the process of configuring a highly efficient and secure system environment. The technologies used include: FreeBSD, PF firewall, Nginx as a...

mm yes i sure love asking my document questions that it will gladly provide wrong answers to, that i then have to go and verify. are you people fucking serious

fundamentally speaking they aren't at all like indent. indent works on a deterministic parser. the LLM is fundamentally a probabilistic algorithm. slop-purveyors try and handwave around this by claiming that being able to set a seed/temperature...

So is it irony that this discussion is being discussed in a thread where Ai was being employed for a task as mundane as writing down what someone's program does? There is validity in what atax1a is saying; if you've lost the abilty and/or desire...

except it can't do any of that, because the only thing it can do is, given a prompt, produce a likely sequence of words. sorry to break it to you, but this is not intelligence, and having the machine do it for you causes your intelligence to...

the output of an AI cannot be copyrighted, therefore it cannot be licensed, therefore there is no point in having AI do work that will have to be redone by a human. the entire endeavor is a waste of time that obfuscates information. the chatbot...

For a professional programmer, documenting is not wasted time. It is not as fun as coding, but if you are trying to deliver a product that people can actually use, it can be as important as the code. And I have run into projects that really...

What's the point to ask an AI to write something that you'll need te re-read and correct ? I still don't understand the hype around this thing, just losing time and giving money to tech merchants. Writing docs IS part of the coding/operating a...

There is no software patent problem here. It is all about data theft. The algorithms and structures behind LLMs are free and open, it is the paid models and everything around them that is gaslit intentionally because the models are full of...

and do what with it, exactly? it generates pleasantly-shaped random output, strictly based on its input, that may or may not resemble reality. what's the point?

have you considered finding a friend to talk to instead?

I dunno. I think I'd have to go with atax1a on this one. (s)he offered their code for the AI to document, and that documentation would/could have been checked against something they already wrote, by us. Seems a more fair challenge to me.

agree about that, is not fine blocking or ignore someone only for a word and asume the class of people he are for that, maybe is a good person but..is AI lover, and they are a virus, today is a post,tomorrow another,and again..and again..and...

They always add complexity to avoid repetition. Like, zstd compression underperforms on FreeBSD but other compression doesn't? The combination of things blocks any deeper research.

well, we rose to your challenge (reading your tcl, on an empty stomach, on a monday morning), but instead of demonstrating that your system is able to produce good documentation for something nontrivial, you chose to insult us. i think that...

there's also a confounding factor in this experiment: the quality of that tcl suggests that you also prompted it out of chatgpt, whereas our documentation and code, none of which you have even seen, is all handwritten, but ok, go off.

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.
