I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

It’s interesting how certain companies and organizations have such large ranges, 16m IP’s each for both that old printer company and a farmaceutical company is a lot. It really shows the history of the internet and how seemingly certain companies that adopted it first ended up with huge chunks of the available IPv4 space.

Linux@programming.dev•Visor Is a New Graphical UEFI Boot Manager for LinuxEnglish
2·6 days agoHaven’t used Claude code myself, so I wouldn’t know, but a commit to delete only a comment is indeed pretty weird, also most of the commit messages are the GitHub default like “Update gui.h” which is also a bit odd.

19·7 days agoLooking at the GitHub repo it seems like the first commit was actually just 2 weeks ago and contained 12k lines. I can’t spot any AGENT.md files, but it does feel like the author quite new to this. That could be explained by them being 16 though like they say on their profile.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Behold the future of programmingEnglish
8·8 days agoDeepseek recently published a paper in which they describe that vision tokens contain more information than text tokens and that this can be used to compress context.
We present DeepSeek-OCR as an initial investigation into the feasibility of compressing long contexts via optical 2D mapping.
Experiments show that when the number of text tokens is within 10 times that of vision tokens (i.e., a compression ratio < 10×), the model can achieve decoding (OCR) precision of 97%. Even at a compression ratio of 20×, the OCR accuracy still remains at about 60%. This shows considerable promise for research areas such as historical long-context compression and memory forgetting mechanisms in LLMs.
It reminds me of LLM caveman speak, it used to have another option to use Chinese instead of English. A language like Chinese is seemingly better at encoding information in fewer tokens and I think this is the same mechanism why OCR tokens work so well.
That said, I also doubt that voice messages are more efficient than text prompts, but it’s best not to waste too much time engaging with these sorts of LinkedIn posts (and LinkedIn in general).

2·7 days agoIt’s being downvoted with relatively little discourse because it’s an insult with no relevance to the topic, in addition to supporting a comment from someone who is either trolling or has no idea what they’re talking about

Linux@programming.dev•Avoiding Vendor Lock-in By Using KDE Plasma As Personal Knowledge BaseEnglish
5·10 days agoThis does not seem convenient at all, from the bash script to get relative links, to the file tags which are not synced across devices by standard git or file sync.

Linux@programming.dev•OpenMandriva: Statement regarding attempted distribution sabotageEnglish
5·13 days agoIt’s interesting that the people who claim to avoid politics being prioritized over technical merit in a project, usually end up doing so themselves. Nobody else cares about whether their Linux Distribution is “woke” (whatever that means) or not. NixOS is innovating with declarative configuration, Bazzite makes itself accessible to a whole new demographic, Debian continues casually maintaining global digital infrastructure and meanwhile in contrast, some are hunting for rainbows.
Have you tried Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod yet?
It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

Programming@programming.dev•Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?English
4·2 months agoGo seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it’s not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.
There are plenty of very “serious” systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it’s not a toy language.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
5·2 months agoI’d say go ahead but make sure it produces accurate enough results and make sure to add something like [AI Transcribed] in front so people can take the potential for additional errors into consideration when reading it.
Also, if you’re using an online service make sure you’re using something that doesn’t use it as training data. Many (probably almost all) artists / photographers won’t appreciate that.

It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.

I looked into using homebox myself, but ended up using Grist instead
Also nice to see another nushell user
