can we talk about how disgusting it is that Ubuntu sticks Snap appdata in ~/snap. Not even a hidden folder, just a random folder in the home directory.

I find this viewpoint fascinating personally, because I both loathe the Special Good Boy Cliques that exist in tech, and have found that LLMs have genuinely made spaces I occupy a hell of a lot less lonely for once. I love the equalization of talent.

the one thing I do find interesting wrt ppl who still tout around phrases like "AI psychosis" is how fundamentally uncurious many of them are. It seems like ppl who are naturally curious will prevail regardless.

running my benchmark on glm-5.3-flash and it has probably the most amusing result on this no-RTTI inheritance bytematching task (GLM vs v4-flash vs original) (the models had access to python, objdump and a .so, so it not finding the strings is strictly a skill issue)

did some optimization whittling and Steam VR Link on Klepton is actually in a decently usable state now (minus AWDL jags) actually got it to pass the secret Metal YUV texture formats from VT->ANGLE w/o needing shader rewrites, and I can also chroma key the final composite as well

got my DGX tower of power set up with deepseek-v4-flash and it really is just an opus 4.5 at home only complaint is that 2x128GiB kinda cuts the context window to like 200k across 2 sessions, any more sessions and it thrashes. probably need a third to get some headroom
