Sparking

Yeah, I’m not even that down on using LLMs to search through and organize text that it was trained on. But in it’s current iteration? It’s fancy stack overflow, but stack overflow runs on like 6 servers. I’ll be setting up some LLM stuff self hosted to play around with it, but I’m not ditching my brain’s ability to write software any time soon.

What are you guys working on where chatgpt can figure it out? Honestly, I haven’t been able to get a scrap of working code beyond a trivial example out of that thing or any other LLM.

No I agree, that’s what I’m trying to say. Open source is the only way to create better software, but the software we have is pretty good. Better software won’t cure what ails us.

I know, this is a bummer for me too.

It’s a useless discussion open source is as good as to is gonna get technology wise. Their will always be a problem as long as profitable enterprise is what people rely on to make a living and feed their families. Fixing that requires more than open source software.

Honestly, might be a good thing kinda. Adoption in the front end world is out of control.

I asked this exact thing somewhere else, and the best answers I got were:

• there is a somewhat legitimate motivation for fedora to package their own flatpaks in the context of their atomic desktops project.
• they started doing this before flathub was established, and it was a better idea at that time.

So, as per usual with Linux, there are some obscure and historical reasons this is a thing, but it is useless for the majority of users. Fedora should really not have it configured as the default source for flatpaks out of the box

What i don’t get is how nvidia stock is exploding when using their hardware for AI is a nightmare on Linux. How are companies doing this? Are they just offering enterprise support to ibsiders or something?
