I don't know the answer to your second question, but what about "transformer" makes you think "not an LLM"?
Not the word 'transformer', but I doubt they'd use an LLM as a For You algorithm.
Having installed Arch myself a couple of times, i think i would disagree. Not really much in that process that teaches you how linux actually works. It's more just about managing disk partitions and moving files around than anything else.
LFS is just on a whole different level, and is on my bucket list to complete the entire process one day.
It's not just the installation process. Being forced to manage or setup automatic management for most parts of your system teaches you a lot. Often it's just as simple as `sudo pacman -Sy yabdabadoo` but its more instructive than it 'just working'.

I did not expect to see Rust. They seem to have forgotten to commit Cargo.toml though.
Oh I see it is not meant to be built really. Some code is omitted.
Surprising no one.

> Grok based transformer
Is Grok not an LLM? Or do they have other models under that brand?

My reasoning is that a clock is either right or wrong.
The average of a right and a wrong clock is wrong. Half as wrong as the wrong one, but still wrong.
If this is a good mental model for dealing with clock malfunctions depends on the failure modes of the clocks.
This is not how continuous probabilities work. The probability that a clock is exactly right is zero; hence there is always some error in a measurement of time. Adding additional clocks will always cause the error to be less or equal to the maximum error.
stickynotememo commented on Is Rust faster than C? steveklabnik.com/writing/... · Posted by u/vincentchau
Many C programs are vailid C++ and are faster when compiled with a C++ compiler because of those stricter aliasing and type rules. Like you though I have no examples.
That seems very odd - if it's possible to make those optimisations without any additional type data then why wouldn't GCC do that anyway? The benefit of stricter type rules is that more information is available to the compiler. Using a different compiler doesn't inherently increase the amount of type information.

How is this the first time me (or anyone else in this comment section) is hearing about this? It seems like a pretty major deal.
