Oh, I am certainly aware he is a massive cunt. The juxtaposition only edifies Geerling even more, honestly.

I’d say there are better tech youtubers out there that you should watch instead, such as Jeff Geerling. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsd6hP-zzIkCpw8XGw7Osyw

Are the headphones usb-c? Because those cheat and are actually a whole sound card in a chip

AGPL is GPL + network services protection (preventing someone taking your code and spinning up a for-profit selling services without contribution back). If you don’t care about people stealing your code, closing it, and selling services based on it, then there is no need to consider strict copyleft licenses.

Not if they know it is a bubble that will pop and then they are holding the bag on all of that capex spent on ramping up the production

Man, this is doin’ Data so wrong

Yeah was gonna say. Dry firing a trad longbow is a no-no because of this

Depends if I have access to the source. If so, robots can iron out the rest of the bits I need

You don’t need to log in with the phone app, you’ve already given them everything they need by installing their spyware

You’re about as smart as a bag of hammers.

Nah, the orders themselves are numerable. “How many orders of water do you want?” That you colloquially shorten it to “waters” is irrelevant. Even if you needed to order by volume, you would ask for UNITs (liter, gallon, barrel, etc.) of water.

The contents are innumerable. This is like asking what the plural of water is. The container, however, is numerable. You already answered your own question “little shots of creamer”. You enumerated the containers: “shots”

I feel like every time I’ve gone looking for an info page, it was just the man page content, but now I’ve got some useless shit I installed.

I mean, maybe this is a debian thing.

What’s worse, is if this is GNU-ware, there is a good chance the answer IS NOT IN THE MAN PAGE. I think it was bash or maybe gawk. I don’t remember exactly, but I had a question that simply wasn’t answered in each man page. GNU docs are absolute trash, written without any consideration for the audience.

Cool man. It is really refreshing to see this level of engagement. You’ve really thought this though. You’re right about the routing model moving it up a level and also about retraining. It’s all trade-offs.

Are you intending this for others to use or is this really just for you? Because I think what you’re slowly building is a power tool with a whack-a-mole set of routing tweaks specifically for you. Nothing wrong with that, but the barrier to entry for others to use this is reading that routing and understanding the foibles that have been baked in with your preferences in mind, and even adding fixes and tweaks of their own which kinda breaks the magic a little.

This was really the point I was making about transparency.

I appreciate others also doing real work with potato GPUs because I, too, have a potato GPU (6GB). I think there is real utility in continuing to develop this.

I’ll give this a star and follow along. It doesn’t really fit my mental model of how I’d like my harness to behave, but I will totally steal some of these ideas.

So I was curious about how you accomplished this and took a look with the robots to figure it out.

TL;DR: the router is a massive decision tree using heuristics and regex to avoid LLM calls on unprefixed prompts.

I think this is an interesting, brute force approach to the problem, but one that will always struggle with edge cases. The other bit it will struggle with is transparency. Yes, it might be deterministic because it is a decision tree, but unless you really understand how that decision tree works under the hood and know where the pitfalls are, you’re going to end up talking to the LLM a lot of the time anyhow.

Something you might want to consider is doing a fine-tune of a smol model (think something like qwen3:1.7B or even smaller like one of the gemma3n sub-1B) that will do the routing for you. You can easily build the dataset synthetically or harvest your own logs. I think this might end up covering more edge cases more smoothly without resorting to a big call to a larger model

This is my hope, too, but realistically what is going to happen is that it will only work well, out of the box for their own gear. I like the idea of getting a frame and machine (even if it is a bit underpowered), wireless foveated streaming means longer battery life and if it just works, that would be amazing. Lots of people complaining the machine will be underpowered, but they aren’t counting that Valve has been using this as a target platform. Lots of shit will just work out of the box because that will give the best experience. Probably trying to get the wireless link on your own linux setup won’t work without lots of futzing. Valve is free to put in whatever hacks they need to make it go. I’m willing to pay money for that so I’m not wasting my Claude tokens and my time trying to make it go

AVGN is such a classic

When you do fix it, the internet would appreciate a follow up comment on what you did to fix the problem

Sounds like your /etc/fstab is wrong. You should be using UUID based mounting rather than /dev/sdXY. Very likely you’ll need to boot from a usb stick with a rescue image (the installer image should work), and fix up /etc/fstab using blkid
