One developer of Node.js seems to tag "need help" often in github releases.

What I want to know is how to become an individual that is able to obtain the kind of things that provide leverage. I already have the machines, I just don't have the platform to move around exciting events and I simply stay in my room. I don't even have a bank account afaik. My paypal account insists on using chinese language (it's cursed). I'm waiting for github to implement a currency I can use. Then again, maybe there's nothing I would do differently.

I found this thread useful: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17fhp9k/huge_ll...

It compares different kinds of models at several tiers.

If you find a model interesting you can then look for it on HF.

I'm also learning. The models get more accurate when they have more parameters, say 7b (7 billion parameters) vs 8x7b (56 billion parameters). They also take more time and resources at higher parameters. TheBloke at Huggingface uploads quantized models, which means they can run on lower spec computers but with a possible hit on quality, he offers multiple configurations per model depending on what you prefer. Big models can be too heavy and slow, the sweet spot is probably something like 13b. You can try different gguf models with this program: https://github.com/madprops/meltdown

First thing I tried was checking if I could use it to share images. Which would be a nice way to organize what I share in folders. But apparently it can only be opened inside Puter itself, and it asks the user if they want to download it.

I'm aware not all websites would be cleanly cached, but a lot of text-based pages can cached and be useful, the HTML is already rendered, why waste it? For instance all HN discussions can be cached easily.

I use Grasshopper for vertical tabs.

It has a lot of stuff including 182 commands and 253 settings.

You can assign commands to different actions including mouse gestures.

Well in order to really know, we'd need to know exactly what processes get triggered at GitHub after a commit. Maybe it has certain triggers like update databases, re-calculate information, etc. So I'm asking if someone who knows about the insides of GitHub could simply answer if it's "cheap and efficient enough" or "every commit is kinda expensive".

In Factorio it would be like modifying the whole system to focus on producing a specific science pack quickly. The UAE would be very kind indeed... Also probably a bluff.

I would not. I would use Linux and its ecosystem as a base. Use a very hackable window manager that allows me to customize the window management and overall experience to my liking. Write a collection of scripts and programs that allow me to do things faster. Maybe release a distro with all of this together ready to use.

Is there collaboration between Serenity/LB and Igalia?

Seems like they're involved in many browser technologies, and other technologies.

What I like about irc is that the x-topic "communities" are one big channel, centralized. Compare that with Discord where you join a server/guild and you are presented with 10 or more channels and you have to take a guess into what the normal/off-topic/on-topic/general channel is. But irc is also very strange, I wouldn't be surprised if I had been chatting with a swarm of bots all these years.

Blind hackers really impress me. I also have an ai bot on irc but it uses openai. Which is fast, almost instant, but less impressive.

And they all have that "Life at x" section in their website. How can all those businesses I never heard about provide life.

Amon Tobin on HN? Wow

His music is great (Long Stories, Out From Out Where, Supermodified)

The website experience is neat.

This is the second musician I see making an ambitious computer project.

The other being that game Neil Cicierega made.

I jokingly pick Slowly by Amon Tobin to be the soundtrack for when they do the lethal injection thing to me.

I'm mainly looking for something with a very polished UI and a wide selection of settings to adjust the experience. I don't care about network/sharing/inter-op features, except maybe something related to github.

Might be worth it to automate the clearing after a paste event. If you want to paste multiple times then you'd need to give it some time, like 5 seconds after the last paste etc.

Yeah that's the one I used on Windows.
