The problem is you used curl|sh, while the official, documented way is bash -c wget.

I'm not kidding:
bash -c "$(wget -O - apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh) "

"Looking completely different across three platforms" sounds like the expected result when emulating a platform-native look?

I have a story to tell here about distros disabling User Namespaces and what Chrome/Chromium's workaround for that problem is...

I'm often using ChatGPT to do the exact opposite because I have a tendency to blabber on when writing.

This specific one requires users to have installed a local application.

I assume the technique didn't work on iOS because it's much more restrictive about keeping local ports open.

The Oodle devs noticed similar issues in their decompressors and managed to root cause it: fgiesen.wordpress.com/2025/05/21/o...

That is a pretty funny self-own, considering the massive developer time and expertise that went into the C version.

Models in the 120G-200G range are going to be a bit expensive to fit on all GPUs!

This includes Qwen3-235B-A22B, DeepSeek V3/R1, LLama 4 Maverick, etc. Yet they can be quite usable to locally run with partial CPU offloading. And some extra DDR5 is orders of magnitude cheaper than more 3090's 😀

You probably want to run the most useful model, not the smallest one. DDR5 is quite handy if the model won't entirely fit on the GPU and has to be partially offloaded to the CPU.

They already said this config only fits a single 3090, if you end up offloading part to the CPU (e.g. for MoE models the speed penalty is quite acceptable), you'd strongly prefer DDR5 if possible. You have the same problem with 2 x 3090 if the model won't fit entirely.

Mmmm, if you're going to be running LLMs, a lot won't entirely fit on the 3090 and you'd love to have DDR5 over DDR4 for the bandwidth.

They did mention LLMs as a use case.

God no. Snap is turning into an exercise into making its sandbox into swiss cheese because people USE desktop apps TO DO THINGS that REQUIRE access to STUFF.

linux folks: just use your distro's package manager!

me this morning:

1. <package> is 6 versions out of date, doesn't work
2. add upstream package server
3. oops! was built in a way that doesn't fucking work
4. download their script to do something to add it anyway
5. okay cool it works. i guess.

Different tests generate the exact opposite conclusion, e.g.

"Reasoning appears to help. For example, DeepSeek R1 performs better than DeepSeek-V3 and Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Exp 01-21 performs better than Gemini 2.0 Flash."

One thing I learned from this is that github.com/NVIDIA/Tenso... is apparently fully open source? Unlike the base TensorRT (which is still required to back that, though).

I hope they keep this open-first for the future. At least the driver is there, now if the original TensorRT could too...

In aiders' benchmark, this was worse (~66%) and more expensive than using Gemini 2.5 Pro directly (so without architect step). Result was posted on Discord.

Also just errors out annotating llama.cpp core functions. Building the 6.14 version from source solved that at least.

In Ubuntu 24.04 "perf top" now requires selecting which PMU type to monitor (P and E core types), and will then only list that one.

This is an extremely crippling regression for me. Any idea how to get rid of it? Is this a regression in the kernel itself?

Ubuntu 24.04 wrecked my LVM+LUKS install upon upgrading from 22.04.

After a few days of fighting with it, key tricks were to add "initramfs" flags for all LVM drives to the crypttab and finally "keyscript=decrypt_keyctl" to avoid having the reenter the password.

All of this just worked in 22.04 🤷
