Well, I guess ntfs3 (included in kernel) supports writes and I'm misremembering ntfs-3g (userspace app) Either way, some distros don't default to writes, and mount methods could be running as root when they shouldn't

If this is a gaming-friendly distro like Bazzite, I'll check on my wife's PC of she has the same issue after an update. If it's Arch, may god have mercy on your soul. - an arch user (jk I'm sure we can figure it out)

This is an NTFS mount you can write to from Linux? Its only officially read-only in most distros, so I have to imagine that a package that made the NTFS mount writable broke in the update, or a permissions issue from mounting as root What distro is this and how do you normally mount the disk?

In my cyclical moods and motivations, I'm back to working on a GBA game no one but me will play. This past week I got: - A large overworld with no screen-scroll - Animation system - Projectiles - Sound effects - A new look - Branching dialog system & memory (you can permanently piss-off an NPC!)

I made a mistake here btw. Quadratic is LESS than exponential, not more. That's what I get for squeezing my words into just 240 characters haha

To answer your other question: I mean simpler ML models that are purpose built. Image classifiers, sentiment analysis, etc that are already good at what they do, and don't require outputting English sentences

111

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

I just believe that we've hit our limits with this type of model, and at its current scale it is already destroying our environment.

110

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

However, to match even a percentage of human working memory, the context window needs to be huge, and that inference will get slower. More than exponentially slower, because this is a quadratic complexity problem. Even the size of enterprise codebases, docs, etc will need far higher than 1M.

210

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

MoE is interesting and may be what tops-out last, but Attention is the other problem. The model needs to know who/what "he/her/it/they" refers to, and needs to know that "John" is the same "John" as you said earlier This issue is what dictates context size. 1M is crazy compared to where we started

110

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

MoE will get slightly (and I mean sub-20%) better with more high quality training data and more specific "expert" models, but they take a lot of VRAM to hold all the experts. Routing the experts from outside the model is hard without a huge inference time penalty, so they must stay as 1 huge model.

110

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

You came near the idea that we could make smaller "expert" models. Add a router layer and you have MoE (mixture of experts) which has made the models perform better. Every new model today uses MoE already.

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

I'll try not to ramble. We have hit a ceiling, and may soon top-out modern architecture. The big discoveries that led to modern LLMs were: - Bigger = Better, which is antithetical to scaling - The "Attention is all you need" paper solving attention (so the LLM can "understand" things like pronouns)

110

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

ML models should go back to being purpose built models that don't speak

111

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

LLMs _will_ crash and burn economically all that will be left is the discovery of attention optimizations in ML, which is interesting, but also shows how dumb and inefficient these models really are and how attention tricked us into thinking the models know what we're saying

110

bread @bread.codes · 16/03/2026

while I am anti-LLM, I did get lost training my own to test a hyper-specific focus. I also now see how hard the optimization problems are TLDR: this shit doesn't scale that is inherent to the discovery that bigger = better, and attention being quadratic complexity with few optimizations

Haha I forgot about it being a clone clone but you're right! I never really used it for a 2nd color either. However, I have used the second nozzle for EVA filament (what glue sticks are made of) for flexible and eco friendly supports. That way I could print ABS with no support marks.

I offerred a coworker one of my 3D printers - which had been sitting idle for 5y - for his son, like a year ago, and I forgot about it since then. He asked me about it again today... so anyway, I'm 6 hours deep in fixing it, replacing cables, a driver from spares, and a missing motor...

I am halfway through my 6-part series on building a puzzle game with it. I choose Klotski (sliding rectangular block puzzle), which has its pros/cons Pros: Simple mechanics 1 entity type Simple rectangle collision Cons: All the characters are straight

As much as I love touching hardware and registers, I have enjoyed using Butano, the asset-abstraction framework for GBA, for the last 2 years. I want other people to enjoy it too

I am on my 6th detour though as the GBA asset-management library, Butano, can seemingly be ported to SDL to be compile Butano GBA games for any system... the long term goal for 2026 is to port Butano to SDL so that your Butano GBA games can be played on PC, Switch, etc without an emulator
