What do you mean? IBM is the world leader of AI development thanks to their cutting edge IBM Watson
I can't tell if you're being serious. Watson is... fine. You can try out the granite models for yourself.

The real official answer is to register/allocate a new subnet, with no intention of putting it into the global routing tables. IPv6 only comes into play because doing that with IPv4 is mostly impractical these days.
The author lost me when they got into raw iproute commands. Not because I'm not acquainted (I run my own custom complex router using a standard Linux distro). But rather if someone knows enough to configure things at this level, then they would just come to this solution on their own. Most people trying to solve this problem will not - eg think that mobile video rack belonging to a touring musician.
Readily-accessible solutions I can come up with off the top of my head:
1. Two off the shelf routers and double NAT. The middle network can be changed if it conflicts with the outer network
2. One router/NAT, but two IP networks on the inner network - one statically assigned for devices to communicate with each other, and one assigned via DHCP for accessing the horizon through NAT. That second network can then easily be changed.
3. Play battleship more strategically using class E address space, DOD/BigCo address space, and/or smaller subnets in the middle of the customary size for a range (eg 192.168.1.160/27).
I've been using a router as 4.20.69.1. It's good to hear other solutions, as I've just been figuring it all out as I go along

> For me LLM:s are just a computer interface you can program using natural language.
Sort of. You still can't get a reliable output for the same input. For example, I was toying with using ChatGPT with some Siri shortcuts on my iPhone. I do photography on the side, and finding a good time for lighting for photoshoots is a usecase I use a lot so I made a shortcut which sends my location to the API along with a prompt to get the sunset time for today, total amount of daylight, and golden hour times.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it says "I don't have specific golden hour times, but you can find those on the web" or a useless generic "Golden hour is typically 1 hour before sunset but can vary with location and season"
Doesn't feel like programming to me, as I can't get reproducible output.
I could just use the LLM to write some API calling script from some service that has that data, but then why bother with that middle man step.
I like LLMs, I think they are useful, I use them everyday but what I want is a way to get consistent, reproducible output for any given input/prompt.
For things where I don't want creativity, I tell it to write a script.
For example, "write a comprehensive spec for a script that takes in the date and a location and computes when golden hour is." | "Implement this spec"
That variability is nice when you want some creativity, e.g. "write a beautiful, interactive boids simulation as a single file in html, css, and JavaScript."
Words like "beautiful" and interactive" are open to interpretation, and I've been happy with the different ways they are interpreted.

I discovered two days ago that you can pipe directly into ollama. Like
cat idea.txt | ollama run "$MODEL" " Write a comprehensive spec from this prompt" | ollama run "$MODEL2" "Implement this spec"

Might as well have it code in assembler then. Get the performance boost.
Too many tokens, imo.
I like to vibe code single self-contained pages in html, css, and JavaScript, because there's a very slim chance that something in the browser is going to break my computer.

Hmm, IME the preferred type systems are structural - a function shouldn't care what the name is of the struct passed to it, it should just work if it has the correct fields.
> should just work if it has the correct fields.
Correct fields by...name? By structure? I'm trying to understand.
This is what I recommend to people who are interested in a new expensive hobby. Try it before you buy it, make sure you love it and get an idea of what you like and plan your investment from there.
For tools, I buy the cheapest one. If (when) it fails, I replace it with one that is better along the metric that the original failed in.
For hobbies, they say "buy once, cry once", but there are so many ways to be unhappy! I won't limit myself! I say buy all, cry all, and learn all the different ways to cry. I don't ski, but for the analogy, I'd try short ones, long ones, cross country ones, racing ones, red ones, blue ones, etc and then only buy really nice ones once I understand exactly what the nice ones do that the others don't. There's a good chance that I'll learn I like skis more than I like skiing, and that's okay.
> I don't get around to using plenty of things for the first time a year after I've purchased them
Examples always tell the story! Can you give two or three?
1. For consumables like film, or semi-consumables like storage media, I may buy it and sit on it for a while.
2. I might get a new [thing], but not make it to the [place where I can safely use [thing]] for a while
3. Videogames, or games in general
4. Idk sometimes I get depressed
