boogiewoogie commented on Ollama's new app   ollama.com/blog/new-app... · Posted by u/BUFU

one of the maintainers for Ollama. I don't see it as a pivot. We are all developers ourselves, and we use it.

In fact, there are many self-made prototypes before this from different individuals. We were hooked, so we built it for ourselves.

Ollama is made for developers, and our focus in continually improving Ollama's capabilities.

Thanks for including it. Ollama is very good at what it does. Including the feature is showing mindful growth in helping ollama be that skateboard, scooter, car, etc that the developer needs for LLM at that time. Making it appeal to casual/hobbyist is the right approach.

PS totally running windows here and using kesor/ollama-proxy if I need to make it externally available.

It's a damn shame that years after this became a thing we are still waiting for a proper commercial product to hit the market at a reasonable price, I had a male relative with T1 diabetes and it was a complete burden on his life, We have the technology to improve peoples lives markedly (because we already did) but because of what the author mentioned in the article and the lack of "skin in the game" manufacturers are still dicking about and a lot of this only works because those manufacturers couldn't secure a blowjob in a brothel.

$8000 is just insane (yes I know FDA approval, testing all that jazz) but there ~1.3m Americans with Type 1 diabetes alone, there is a massive demand for a cost effective product at scale.

Making a class 3 medical device (really it's a system of devices, infusion + cgm) that works off the shelf versus something that a hobbiest can throw together are two different games.

The attitude in the industry towards developers is pretty much:

You know Java? Cool. My kid is learning that in high school.

You set the bar high. Some are more like, "Talk to this guy, he's a computer geek."

Even more bizarre, the gallery page for that picture has a slug of "on-the-list-before-stonewall-film-ginsberg-poetry-festival-at-volunteer-park-seattle-poetry-slam": http://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2019/06/on-the-list-before... (and the image is titled "Leak 2"). There are other interesting images in that gallery that aren't on the article (or perhaps are visible only if you have javascript enabled).

Sorry, but no: Don't keep cats indoors or on a leash.

Cats are predators. And they need freedom. If you're concerned for birds et al. don't get a cat.

Don't be cruel to cats to satisfy your need for a pet by forcing your view of how nature should work onto them.

Cats are domesticated. They made the indoor outdoor decision a long time ago.

Hickey's `Maybe` example feels misguided (about breaking existing callers). If Maybe is an input just keep the original function around and provide a new one that wraps it.

    originalF :: x -> y

    f :: Maybe x -> y
    f None = newDefaultBehavior
    f (Some x) = originalF x
If `Maybe` is an output then existing callers SHOULD be broken, because they must now handle a new possibility of failure they didn't before. The fact that this doesn't happen in Clojure is actually a source of pain for me.

It's also rather interesting that Hickey also comes to the same conclusion that optionality doesn't belong in a data structure, but for slightly different reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17906171

Maybe someone figured out they would get half the response the first time and the rest the second time.

boogiewoogie commented on Microsoft Releases a Linux Version of the ProcDump Sysinternals Tool   github.com/Microsoft/Proc... · Posted by u/ArtWomb

Microsoft have shown a tendency in the past to unifying their server, workstation, desktop and even phone operating systems.

I don't know if they will keep that tendency (plus, it's more likely to lead to them sticking with Windows on servers)

However, if they do move towards Linux on servers they will naturally explore Linux for workstations too.

boogiewoogie · 7 years ago
Can't believe I'm saying this but I think MS could own Apple if they took on Apple in any programming realm outside of objective c/Swift if they embraced Linux desktop.

Just go on the GNOME subreddit and you will see there actual GNOME users complaining, you will see mostly this:

- how I get tray icons working (tray icons were removed)

- GNOME won't start (an extension incompatibility can make the DE crash)

- lag when some animation happens

- how can I make the theme to use less padding (some devs are considering removing theming support completely )

This are complaints for actual GNOME users that update to latest version and have unpleasantness surprises.

Microsoft used to cut products that didn't get support questions. People asking about edge cases/complaining about problems is a sign of noobie uptake.
