he does not mention AI usage.

how it helped to solve problems and search over git sources.

intresting what he would achieve mixing nixos and ai for patches.


AI will be more harmful than helpful than a very big and unexplored (for them) codebase for them.

Moreover, playing with code which fiddles with hardware directly is neither simple, nor easy, nor fun.


Big is what AI good at.

What exactly codebase is unexplored in article? Patches? Just load them in context. Linux is already in model as well as nix and hardware specs.

AI is good in search and playing(constrained synthesis) over hardware, Linux and configurations specs. Not fun thing.


Examples?

Search Algolia's HN index for common reactionary boogiemen

Seems concerns DIY are handled by several research graded request to AI? Use AI sub you anyway have.

AI does not solve resell price. Valve may be better.


They already pay. How 10usd subscriptions become 10eur or 10£? Companies pay lawyers and beurocrats and accountants to operate.

I'm not claiming they dont pay everything they legally have to, I'm saying the laws are wrong.

Nick 30 ans is tired and wants someone else to pick up the slack for once.


You forgot to write ZERO after TWO.

20% VAT to begin with payed with heavily taxed money of mine.

Than on top of payed by provider of services to UK gov machine making 10usd sub be 10£ sub.


Irrelevant. VAT is charged on most services and by everyone. Not specific to digital services.

in USA it is 10, not 20 for example.

why digital services are so special you want more taxes?


codex sub 200usd. in eu it magically becomes 200eur(hello beuracrates) plus vat. You already taxing 30%. That on top that I pay via mine already heavily taxes money.

Mistral experience was as miserable as running local models btw.


> hello beuracrates

Just in case you missed that class, taxes are determined by legislators


I refer to broader tax. Companies have to pay to friends of regulators who sings off companies regulated.

What exactly American services did to you that stopped to trust them?

Nothing. It doesn't matter though. If we can't trust the US administration won't just apply 50% taxes tomorrow because some EU representative said something mean to the president, then we can't rely on goods or services exported by the USA anymore.

It's just chaotic. Chaos isn't good for business. What if Microsoft were instructed, on short notice, to block EU customers from using Entra over a trade dispute? If the identity provider of millions of European customers is suddenly unavailable, work grinds to halt. That's unacceptable.

Now you might say that sounds unrealistic - but would you have expected the American president to threaten an invasion of Danish territory? Or freaking Canada?

And even if the next administration turns out to be more "normal", we won't forget that American voters don't care about anyone but themselves - they wanted this. Twice. There is virtually no guarantee the same thing won't happen again in the future, and we all have seen how quickly fruitful business relations turned to shit over a pathetic narcissistic a-hole at the helm throwing temper tantrums.

Trusting the USA has proven to be a bad strategy, even for its closest allies. That won't change all too soon.

Point taken, but as a European, it doesn’t really make a difference whether it was the election system or the popular vote - either way, this was possible, and there’s nothing to suggest it won’t happen again.

If they considered an alternative to him at least not better, what does that say about them?

Stuff like:

Trump is using sanctions and started a trade war with Europe.

Europe would be mad to entrust their digital ecosystem to such a country


I reported it to Twitter as violation of it terms with relevant category.

Twitter said naming people Pussy is fine.


Do you drink coffee?


Yes. I've tried avoiding caffeine during my year off. When I don't (even after weeks of abstinence) I sleep 12-14 hours a night and still need a nap during the day, which is incompatible with having both a day job and something approaching a well-lived life involving laundry. So I drink caffeine, to be compatible with the labour market.


You need more than weeks of abstinence, friend. Ive generally noticed 1-2 months are necessary to recover from all of the awful side effects of caffeine (from drinking a tiny amount of coffee per day - my body is just very sensitive to it). I urge you to try it.


OK, from tomorrow, I will abstain for caffeine until 21st September at the earliest and take a read. Let's see if I will still have a job :)


yeah. 2 month is good number.

if you burn out at same time - it can take half year.

caffein makes you work TWO-FOUR times slower than you could without.

yeah, that is number i measured on self.

and yet i still do it - drugs are drugs - coffee makes me happy - cappuccino - to make effect longer and less strait compared to black shots.

also do not drink in the morning - feel pain of starting a day:)

the only reason you will not have job - you can start hating your job and leave. but you would do job more productive without coffee.


> all of the awful side effects of caffeine

If I may ask as a coffee addict, what were some of these that affected you specifically?


for me, mostly just poor sleep and focus/clarity. It creeps up on you slowly, til you realize youre just in a haze. Once you detox, life is much better.

And, yet, as an addict, i keep convincing myself that I can handle a little bit (like, 6-10 grams daily - which is nothing) and will re-addict myself every few months.

I should say that i have been actually handling 10 grams vastly better lately than i could even 6 grams a few years ago. Not sure what to attribute that to.

I really like coffee - i roast, grind and brew it at home. I should treat it as i do alcohol - only 1 drink, once in a while - but i'll probably remain like this for life...


hard to switch attention and context.

easy to fall into "first idea good idea trap".

lack of ability to work in priorities.

lack of ability achieve long term goals, as long as these are not just extensive usage of self.

procrastination.

all this before even health issues like blood pressure and sleep disruption.

if worth to drop at least once for half year - experience panic attacks may be - and get on track back with better control of addiction :)


Have tired ADHD diagnosis?


I have one :) Unmedicated. Side-effects impacted me more than the meds helped.


What were the side effects? High blood pressure, feeling like a "zombie", sleep getting worse?

I'd try centanafadine and see a top ADHD specialist. There are a lot of variables: molecule, dose, release profile, melatonin timing.

What is worth checking:

* Comorbid anxiety or trauma symptoms (PTSD)

* Hormone imbalance

Just because your blood work is perfect, it doesn't mean all is good. I have hypomagnesemia - the tests were perfect, yet my body needs way more magnesium to function properly.


BP (manageable), tinnitus (BP related), prostate discharge (due to muscular tension), sleep getting worse as the week would go on until I'd have to stop. Sleep wasn't restful at all, which was the main problem. I'd feel like I'd closed my eyes and become unconscious, rather than actually asleep. I'd wake up in the morning like I'd been kept awake as some kind of torture all night, but with no recollection of it.

I desperately wanted ADHD meds to help, but in the end the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze so I stopped. I tried all 3 or 4 different stims and 2 non-stims.

Thank you for the pointers, I will look into them.


For the stims, I've found that most doctors titrate up the dose way to fast.

For example for methylphenidate, I'd recommend starting on 2.5mg (1/2 the smallest pill) for a week or two, until side effects go away, and then up the dose to 5mg.


Feels like marketing, sir.

Can be your more specific what exactly nice?
