I'm not sure why reading and writing the registry is considered a bad interface for programmatic system administration.
I realize text files can be processed by utilities for working with text files. And text files can be read by humans without any tools, and in that sense are rather universal.
I wonder what I'm missing.
I'd go so far as to think an OS that had a database at its core, or perhaps a persistent lisp would be even more programmable and legible.
Maybe better tools for dealing with structured data would help this?
I love this. I see this vision, in many forms, yet have trouble articulating in a way that motivates and inspires others, including myself.
I don't think a lack of hardware and software technology is what is lacking, but rather a vision, a dream, a call to action and corresponding courage to act while facing down an invisible enemy that can only been seen by its effects on the world.
Thank you for articulating it clearly. It inspires me to take a step back from building, and consider what I'm building and why.
That might actually compensate for the overthinking, if it can think really fast. Dense models are easier than MoE to put on silicon. https://chatjimmy.ai/ is getting 16k tps with an 8B model. Extrapolating that gives nearly 5k tps for 27B. And we're still early in this technology.
If tps is so high, a compaction step could be performed over every thinking turn to keep context size down.
My first introduction to the blog was through his Lord of the Rings Siege of Gondor serie, and I've been a Patreon supporter ever since. It's well worth the time.
That will vary by person. My father-in-law bred and milked pedigreed Holsteins. They had a 1 gallon pasteurizer and would just dip a gallon out of the bulk tank for household use when needed. So, most of the time they had pasteurized, non-homogenized. On occasion, the pasteurizer would break, so for a while they would drink raw milk. But of course understood the risk, and also knew darn well where the milk had come from and how clean the milking facility was.
I'm not sure. Judging by my own family, I think a lot of them have been info-silo'ed to think pasteurization is harmful and that "They" want to keep raw milk from you.
I'd liken it to claiming an anti-measles-vax person is aware of the risks of measles. They might not believe in the risk at all.
I love that this has been in development for so long. It's a breath of fresh air in this manic vibe coding era, and a reminder to
me that I can slow down.
