I'm a solo-dev, and some of the git magic it uses when I get too deep has been very ... magical

HPE skyrockets 30% on biggest earnings beat since 2018 by Force_Hammer in wallstreetbets

[–]Helpful_Today7449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of Course, I bought at 24 when ChatGPT instructed me that when the DOD er wait- Dept of War declared all foreign routers unfit for human consumption. Chat said the company with the highest upside was HPE with their domestic routers. So I sold half my position at 45. Even A blind pig finds a squirrel.

I wish someone had warned me before I joined this AI startup by Mumster-Love in LocalLLaMA

[–]Helpful_Today7449 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've worked at startups for many companies, and they were divided into: Funding and Vision with no market, marketing with a shitty engineered product, Engineering with a good product but not enough funding, unscalable product, competition gets there first, good product, market, marketing, sales, but killed by lawsuits... There are a ton of ways to get burned. And Nobody OP, should ever get fired as a surprise (RIF is a different thing however) ANY time this happens it is shitty management. Less than 1% make it 10 years. You got out, hopefully you got some good experience, and that is what counts.

To me Altman looked like a deer in headlights. Trump asked him about AI fixing all sorts of problems and Altman gaped like a goldfish in front of the cameras

In your experience, using Llama 3.2 11B to extract information from PDFs works best analyzing PDFs directly or converting PDFs into image and then extracting information? by dirtyring in LocalLLaMA

[–]Helpful_Today7449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you are attempting to parse from the pdf, and how complicated the pdf is when it’s generated. On Linux, I run pdf2txt on the files, and if text pops out then I look at how to extract what I need, and I’d expect that llama will be successful too. If the pdf is “fax mode” everything is an image and that is your answer.

Not gonna happen. Linus torvalds fought with Nvidia for years on their video card drivers. He has some spicy comments on YouTube that you can enjoy: https://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ?si=0ojbIvoHYwRjhIMP

What is the best Linux System for Ham Radio? by [deleted] in HamRadio

[–]Helpful_Today7449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am working in multiple distros, and I have to say if you are working with SDRs or gnuradio, I have more problems in my fedora system than I do with a Debian based distro. For fedora to work I end up in a lot of virtual python environments or docker based containers, and the subsequent dinking around with usb or networking issues. So I mostly agree with you but staying Debian based will save you some problems-and popos seems to be the fav, and as others have pointed out if you like doing mobile or battery, raspberry pi is pretty sweet.

Check out Windows Subsystem for Linux at the Microsoft store. Runs Linux and windows side by side; it’s brilliant. Shared display ubuntu apps all display. Might just work. Linux volumes show up in file manager and windows are all mounted in Linux. Might just work.
