Local LLM's to run on old iMac / Hardware
I have an old iMac on which I run Syncthing and Node-RED. I use an M2 for my daily tasks. I SSH into the iMac whenever I need to, and if I require a GUI, I use screen sharing.

My iMac is quite old, dating back to 2012. While I can run most of the LLM models on my M2, I'm struggling to run even the smallest LLMs on my iMac. I've attempted Ollama and LLM.cpp without success. So, is there any local LLM suitable for running on older hardware? I enjoy experimenting with LLMs and writing small shell scripts to interact with them. I'm not looking a replacement for GPT-4; I'm looking for something fun to play with.

iMac's hardware:

- 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

- 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

- NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512 MB

What's an example of a modern passenger automobile that DOESN'T spend most of its time operating far below its capacity and/or WITHOUT sufficient performance reserve to handle emergency situations despite being significantly handicapped by a less than perfect human driver?
I think it’s going to always keep being like this. The people that would be good to have in charge do not actually want to be in charge because being a manager sucks for them.
The margins and paddings are objectively terrible. It is not a matter of taste. There is no coherent design here, nothing aligns, there is no visual hierarchy and often it doesn't even show more information than GNOME despite looking so much worse.

From the article: “ Research found speeding or jumping a red light less likely in a Skoda or Hyundai than in brands sold as ‘performance driving’”

Those safety systems are nearly irrelevant in the face of reckless driving. Most people, including those buying performance cars, are not spectacular drivers.

You know, one of those "programs" that we happen to offer to exactly one company and only if we think there's a chance they have the ability to walk away.
I am not convinced that ads cause bad driving. I would put it down to self entitled people being attracted to that same behaviour in the ads. And, yes, I think bad driving is down to self entitlement. My progress is more important than your safety.

I don't use the proscribed TDD process very often, but I use the TDD mindset all the time to great effect.

Listing out the tests you're going to write before you write the code (even mentally) can be considered a continuation of the requirements-gathering process. And thinking about how you're going to test your code before you write it will, in my experience, improve the design. (Particularly, it seems to encourage the single-responsibility principle, as code that's doing too much or combining layers of abstraction is really hard to test.)

I'm surprised whenever I hear Wayland works flawlessly for someone, since I've tried using it on the NixOS unstable channel for a few releases now, and there are a few major bugs that make it unusable for me.

A show stopping one is that the bottom panel is stuck in the middle of the screen, with no way to move it down that I could find, and clicks register in completely different parts of the screen. It's difficult to explain. I noticed this starts happening after I start an Xorg session for the first time, which for some reason always switches back to the default after an upgrade.

If someone knows what bug this is and how to fix it, I'd appreciate it.

Then there are other minor issues like the cursor being tiny when hovering over a Firefox window, which I guess uses Xwayland(?).

The fact each application needs to explicitly support Wayland, and I need to switch to an entirely different app ecosystem, is insane to me. I'm willing to make the jump if it offered a truly better experience than X, but I've yet to see that.

I'd be curious what kind of precedent a ruling against anti-adblockers would set for anti-cheating or anti-tampering software that are commonly present in games, and sometimes involve invasive kernel-level drivers for the sole purpose of monitoring what's running on a user's device. These are significantly more invasive and reveal far more private information about someone compared to just a simple check for whether or not an adblock extension is active

> Netflix Web app is best viewed on Chrome anyway.

Wild claim.
Criticizing Gnome and KDE is not the same as criticizing the German effort to fund open source SW projects.

Yeah, the criticism of the effort absolutely seems misplaced.

Even the criticism of the money going to Gnome seems misplaced unless someone has gone through the criteria and identified which criteria they find unhelpful, or goes through Gnome’s application and identifies where they’ve misidentified.

Otherwise a criticism of the effort sounds simply like someone who has done no work at all, looks at an effort that has clearly put in a lot of process and safeguards (as evident simply from the application submitted), didn’t like the result but out of sheer laziness don’t even try to identify what went wrong and decided to piss all over the people who are actually putting in money, time, resources and effort to do something.

Unfortunately this is quite common in the open source world. People who don’t actually do any of the work (which includes me, even if I’ve submitted a few PRs) that go around telling the people doing the actual work that they’re doing it wrong without putting in the effort to show how or why they’re doing it wrong.

Assuming that the widely touted "statistic"[1] that the global developer cohort doubles every 5 years or so, this would inevitable make it true that more than 75% of all devs have no idea how predatory MS is.

It's slightly more subtle than that.

The budgetary control management system that companies like this use isn't primarily designed to limit spending to the minimum necessary. Its primary purpose is to prevent any political power being built away from the management office, by constraining access to the critical resource.

I mean this literally and historically. Budgets being used for management control dates from when the CEO of General Motors couldn't control the sprawling divisions they'd bought, so he (well, his CFO) brought in budgetary controls invented by McKinsey (the man, not the company) so they couldn't move without his say-so. And of course because it worked for GM, it must be good for everyone.
The pain is indirect. They’ll just see tons of failed production deployments, rollbacks, client calls, defect rate, delivery rate etc. Somehow you have to make it clear to them that yes, all of that, is caused by the message they send out every single day, reminding people to focus on delivering all promised features today.

Even when I was too young to drive I’d encounter this sentiment, specifically about BMW drivers. Can’t tell if it’s confirmation bias or a simple heightened sense of awareness but I can definitely make these observations as a driver today.

But I’m in Salt Lake City where good driving is notable as the exception. A co-worker used to work sales in a context that had him chauffeuring clients who flew in. One particular client didn’t like being chauffeured because he enjoyed driving “the Mormon 500”.
I dunno, sponsoring open source is good, but desktop environment is such a fragile and transient part of the system, that it feels this money would better serve some more fundamental project.

I've seen apps break in prod where third party libraries had array accesses on indices that didn't exist, or dereferenced nil pointers, in goroutines they spawned. And those aren't the only ways to cause a panic without ever calling the panic function.

Third party libraries have bugs sometimes, and other times our usage of them can create bugs. Nothing like a SIGKILL or anything malicious. That's just the way things are and will be. And breaking down like this in dev can be fantastic!

But when a once in a blue moon issue crops up in prod and all other connections are dropped, the fact that a simple defer+recover couldn't have been preemptively placed on all goroutines is a huge nightmare. I'd even take a "you can add defer+recover for any goroutines created further in this callstack" - it's rare that libraries spawn goroutines, I'll already know which ones to trigger that behavior on
I've lived in and driven in several different cities in the US, and driven around the world. What I've observed is that broadly speaking, brand doesn't matter, but affordable sporty cars tend to be driven by younger people who are likely to drive more aggressively and riskier (see Subaru WRX vs Subaru Outback). Also, broadly speaking cars that are older and in worse condition tend to be driven more aggressively, there seems to be some latent rage and general uncaring about yourself/your vehicle that happens when poorer people drive poorer cars (see nearly every Nissan Altima in the US).

All that said, I've also observed that BMW drivers are a special sort of asshole. It's not necessarily that they drive aggressively, rather it's that they drive like they own the road and that nobody else exists. Things like driving at their preferred speed rather than the speed of traffic/the road (e.g. left lane rolling roadblocks and doing 85 in a 40), not using turn signals or merging appropriately into traffic, and poor lane discipline (seems I see more BMW drivers on their phone while driving).

At least in Colorado, I've observed that Tesla drivers are basically BMW drivers that have an even higher opinion of themselves because they're "saving the environment" or they're Ubers, pretty much only one of the two. Everything I said about BMWs applies to Tesla drivers here as well, except you get the addition of them taking off from stop lights with all the torque they can muster to light-speed across intersections within moments of the light turning green (meaning they're at risk of being involved in a crash with somebody who runs a red/squeezes the lemon and misses).

On the other hand, every time I see a Porsche, it's usually an older guy who is meandering along in the right lane, drives very respectfully, and generally drives like they just desperately don't want anyone to fuck up the car that is their prized possession. I have never seen a Porsche driver driving aggressively on the road here, in many many many miles of driving.

It definitely won't run, but I can't tell you why. Nobody can tell you why, because everything in that ecosystem is such an immensely complicated & fragile mess that there's no telling what will break; anything's fair game. Random module pulled from NPM? Surprise build step that depends on a random combination of C libraries? People reflecting implementation details of other modules that get changed with a point release? Some world conflict somewhere evoking a blackout in libReplaceCommaWithUnderscore? I don't know, but I've spent too many days of my life debugging Node module installs on the latest version, I'm certain it won't be any easier in 10 years.

> Sounds like you may be confused thinking that a panic in Go is like throw in other languages?

Not at all. I knew that panics in Go shouldn't be used for error handling in general.

> Third-party libraries should virtually never panic.

True, as true as 3rd-party libraries shouldn't have any security vulnerabilities. But we don't live in a perfect world. Bugs happen.

> This is a bit like worrying that your programming language won't prevent a third-party library from sending a SIGKILL to your program or that it doesn't prevent third-party libraries from delete your entire file system.

Very different. Your examples are intentional and malicious actions. What usually happens is due to bugs.

> No general purpose language protects against malicious or stupid code.

Are you implying that all bugs are caused by either malicious code or stupid code? Panic-related bugs are often due to the billion dollar mistake [1] that Go's team refused to solve.

Yes I agree; I didn't make my point very clearly. For sure there are games that allow for creative expression - I myself have spent many hours building houses in Rust for example - but not all games offer that nor set out to do so, so guitar vs game is not necessarily a useful comparison. To put it another way, you can pick up Godot for free, but I would expect a whole lot more opportunities for enjoyment using that tool than any single game could deliver, since you could in theory use it to build whatever you want. A guitar is a gateway to all of music, whereas No Man's Sky is a gateway only to itself.

Opposite experience here. Had a bright BMW sports model, and then when moving to a dark family vehicle from a manufacturer without this reputation people treat me totally different. Anecdotally I don’t drive any different, still speed as fast as the conditions allow on clear highways or go with the flow of traffic, even if that flow is +15mph over. However I got pulled over by the police for speeding about quarterly in the BMW, and have not been pulled over a single time in more than five years in my new car. Wild.
