  • Not just that really. I have watched 3 people die and none really knew what was happening or when it was coming even when intuitively it would seem like they should. I was apparently lucid for parts of 3 hours that was a total blackness in my memory for years. I have 2 little parts that feel like a very fuzzy dream, but if I had died, I wouldn’t have known anything about the last experiences, pain, or struggle. For a long time I thought that was only due to the massive head injury I had, but thinking of others I have watched die, I see a similar lucid like state without much if any awareness. Sure they were in pain, I certainly was, but there is a disconnect between the sensation of pain in the body from wounds and the trauma that leads to death (IMO). That trauma does not seem to have a tie to conscious experience. It is almost like we are in user space, death in in kernel space, and we can never fully experience kernel space.

    I’m in so much pain all the time that even breaking bones does little to phase me any more. I already hurt worse than almost anything anyone can do to me. It yields an interesting perspective on the nuance of death IMO. My intended nuances are often missed on Lemmy.




  • Not at all familiar with your setup… In general, you need to know where there is a directory that is outside of the non mutable distro stuff, then just create a link in the current directory to the file that is elsewhere.

    Android is like this and uses SELinux to enforce context access to files. It has been several years since I hacked around with that stuff, but I think …/downloads and …/data are the two directories that Android allows files access for read and write but not execute. Of course, that is not directly helpful here, but the abstract ideas might point you somewhere useful.

    It may also be helpful to have a look at the script that installed the app in the first place. That likely will lead you to how the file was created in the first place. That script knew how to write to the directory. I did silverblue around F2x. This is how I figured out a lot of it; using install scripts when documentation was sparse.





  • Need max AVX instructions. Anything with P/E cores is junk. Only enterprise P cores have the max AVX instructions. When P/E are mixed the advanced AVX is disabled in microcode because the CPU scheduler is unable to determine if a process thread contains an AVX instruction and there is no asymmetrical scheduler that handles this. Prior to early 12k series Intel, the microcode for P enterprise could allegedly run if swapped manually. This was “fused off” to prevent it, probably because Linux could easily be adapted to asymmetrical scheduling but Windows would probably not. The whole reason W11 had to be made was because of the E-cores and the way the scheduler and spin up of idol cores works, at least according to someone on Linux Plumbers for the CPU scheduler ~2020. There are already asymmetric schedulers in Android ARM.

    Anyways I think it was on Gamer’s Nexus in the last week or two that Intel was doing some all P core consumer stuff. I’d look at that. According to chips and cheese, the primary CPU bottleneck for tensors is the bus width and clock management of the L2 to L1 cache.

    I do alright with my laptop, but haven’t tried R1 stuff yet. The 70B llama2 stuff that I ran was untenable for CPU only with a 12700 with just CPU. It is a little slower than my reading pace when split with a 16 GB GPU, and that was running a 4 bit quantization version.

    If one can think in abstracted objective self reflection, the reaction to “arm the homeless” opens a window on one’s internal biases. If one is afraid of another exercising their right to protect themselves as egalitarian citizens, that is an abusive prejudice. If one is afraid of the repercussions, that is where society presently lacks the impetus to solve the homelessness problem. It costs far less to solve the issue properly too. Narcissism will likely make this logic obscure or blind a person from themselves.

    In an idealized exaggeration, the fact that there are so many homeless in the USA is why they should be armed to fight back against a society of prejudiced passive exterminators that harm the disenfranchised of a terrible system.

    Maybe I take longer showers… probably the shampoo…



  • I have too many lithium polymer batteries in my spares drawer to justify buying. I think they are easier to design into 3d prints and make more sleek projects with. The cylindrical cell and holder creates a size constraint for your projects. That constraint is not super convenient when used with circuit boards. If you get something like an ESP32 board that includes a batman chip, it is quite easy to find a lipo that fits in the same form factor and is very compact in my experience. I tend to make things over engineered to the point I don’t finish a lot of them though, so perhaps a cylindrical cell in a larger enclosure would get more projects completed.
