Nixos, meaning to try Gnuix but I got projects to finish!

I am a nixos fan, I do tell people to use nixos, but for some reason all these switch to nixos posts feel sus. Idk.

If you're writing a program, definitely multiple threads or processes that each scan a chunk of the file, which basically means seek to the start of the chunk, read lines into the scan code until you hit the end of the chunk. For jsonl each chunk will need an alignment step to not break the jsonl.

For command line trickery, maybe the file could be chunked up by running multiple dd instances with an offset parameter piped into grep. This has many synchronization issues and all the outputs should be captured separately then combined afterwards. I can't think of a good way to align this method to line edges but maybe you can put some fancy regular expression magic into the grep step to ignore malformed json at the beginning and end and overlap the chunks?

Grep is fast already, maybe test the simple approach and see how long it takes.

Local LLMs and learning CUDA on a machine with 6 1070Ti GPUs... Some of it works out of the box... For other stuff I'm having to explore what will work on the sm61 cuda architecture.

Also getting better at running a pair of old 3d printers.

I'm not one to buy new hardware if you can't tell :P

I wouldn't say it's the only sane way, but it's certainly my favorite

I think nix just has name recognition, that's why I use nixos not guix :/

Guix really should be called Gnuix, maybe that name was already taken.

You don't need to use arch, but it's a good starting point. Google any words you don't know as soon as you read them.

What is this, open source software for ants!?!

This whole story is ridiculous. Put it behind a compile flag and merge it, we all know first across the finish line gets bonus 5 years of standardization.

It's the law that's a problem, not the software.

Fysa this is the lady who sms bullied her own daughter and called the cops about it.

If you can see how the other machines on the network access the drives, like with net use in the windows command prompt, then you will know the protocol and address and share name to connect to.

If it's something like \\computername\a\path\here that's a windows file share which you can connect to with samba. On modern Linux desktop systems you can sometimes get away with opening a file browser and typing in a location like smb://computername/a/path/here and it may just work

Keep in mind computername could be an IP address instead, and some file browsers are sneaky about letting you type in a path (nautilus/gnome, which I think is Ctrl+L) if smb://... Doesn't work smbfs:// may be worth a try

Wait, this makes no sense. Just ask your AI to write the libraries you need rather than clone an existing project

Now the next gpl needs to protect code written based on the docs
