  • As someone who’s written pipelines who do exactly that on Windows, macOS, Linux across x86_64, aarch64, and MIPS, with optimized, unoptimized, instrumented for ASAN, instrumented for TSAN, and instrumented for coverage, and does it all in a distributed containerized workflow… It’s not as easy as it sounds. Honestly macOS is way more of a hassle to deal with than Linux.

    Unless you need ROS. ROS is utter garbage. ROS is popular in robots. ROS is, unlike its name, not actually an operating system but rather a system of tools and utilities which do not follow any standards and certainly not the OS standards. I literally hate ROS. I would burn that shit to the ground and rebuild-the-world if I had the time to.



  • OTA TV: with ads

    OTA TV: if you record you are pirating

    Cable TV: you pay a fortune to have no ads!

    Cable TV: now with extra premium stuff!

    Cable TV: now with ads!

    Cable TV: if you record, you’ll be prosecuted

    Cable TV: pray we do not alter the deal further

    Cable TV: why is everyone moving away from Cable TV?

    Youtube: your own videos!

    Youtube: your own videos are actually ours

    Youtube: our videos with ads!

    Youtube: now pay a fortune to remove ads!

    Youtube: pray we do not alter the deal further

    Youtube: if you download or remove ads you’ll be banned

    This isn’t the pattern you’re looking for. Move along.


  • and would not include it in the main repo

    Tests that verify behavior at run time belong elsewhere

    The test blobs belong in whatever repository they’re used.

    It’s comically dumb to think that a repository won’t include tests. So binary blobs like this absolutely do belong in the repository.











  • Give it time. Cell phones are getting more powerful every day.

    As for misinformed… sure it’s possible. But I doubt it. Llama isn’t chat gpt but it runs pretty well on my machine. Is it perfect? No, of course not. Neither is ChatGPT. But it’s “good enough” for what I need it for, and it certainly could be “good enough” for many other users.

    What’s the gain of a LLM for a virus? Well that… is a little more esoteric. It’s about as esoteric as encrypting hard drives. Crypto malware isn’t always a virus either. Imagine a LLM in a virus used to determine if a given file’s content is worth extracting from the device. I haven’t yet figured out all of the side ventures but I can see a use for it.







  • Take the time estimates that this bully gives you. Tell them the time estimates are way off. Take their estimate, multiply it by three. So, if it would have taken 3 days, then it will really take 9 – that’s two whole weeks of 40 hours each. If it would have taken 3 months then it will really have taken 9 months.

    When you get a calendar invite and this asshole bully accepts it for you, make sure to include that cost in your time estimate.

    And make sure to stick to your 8 hours each day. If you didn’t get work done because some asshole bully filled your calendar with meetings and left you with no time to work, and then also made stupid decisions about the entire codebase, make sure to report that to your manager. Your manager needs to know when time estimates are going to slip.

    That dipshit will start to figure out how much time it really takes to get work done. It might take a while though for that to be learned so bear with it.
