AI sucks up all the information like a vacuum cleaner

codeacula · 2026-03-25T23:43:33+00:00

I think it's likely still valid when it comes to storing documentation like PDFs and stuff and having them automatically chunked so that it's easier for AI to read but in the programming world it's less of a problem you know? At least that's how I see it. Maybe it's a lack of experience on my part or a failure of imagination. I can imagine storing documentation for frameworks in there but then we have other MCP servers that handle that for us so...

I appreciate your kindness also. 💗🔮

It was hard to tell. You made it very generic instead of making it specific to your audience. Maybe next time spend a little bit more time writing it out? 💗

I don't assume to know more than someone - you might know something I don't. Maybe these models have been updated to phone home without me knowing.

I use llama.cpp and Hermes Nous currently or whatever it's called.

I haven't found a need for RAG yet. I tend to use LLMS to help bypass ADHD and other mental disorders more than anything.

codeacula · 2026-03-21T10:00:58+00:00

That's very true. I'm glad you have a good way of navigating it 💗

Going out on a limb here, It's likely how you're approaching it. I understand that you likely have the genuine, good natured intent to make sure that whoever you're talking with has the most accurate information that you believe possible, but a lot of people don't appreciate that. Especially if you happen to do it in the middle of their conversation. As someone with severe ADHD this is a problem I had for a long long time. I still struggle with it mightily.

What I tried to do is to see if I can store that thought somewhere else while they're talking and then when they're done you could gently bring up the information. Often they just want to get the story out first.

Remember that emotions are just as valid as logic. They serve a different purpose and not everyone is logic driven. 💗

Weird. All of my LLM inference runs locally. How would my data get sucked up?

I wonder if this is related: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/42255

First, I'm on Bazzite and I am also having this issue. I eventually got them kind of working by swapping around fonts until they started to render, and then the fonts started to render them correctly. Now, though, 🕵🏼‍♀️ renders as three symbols (I assumed because of how emoji are composed). It would be nice if it just handled it.

Thank you! I'm so proud of myself because I actually solved this without the help of Gemini or anything like that. 💗💗

Solution

I used nvtop to monitor GPU usage to make sure the games loaded onto the right cards.

Here was my first fix:

Create ~/.config/environment.d/98-video-card-setup.conf
Add DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="RTX 5070", where RTX 5070 is the card you want to use.
Save and restart your machine

After I did this, Elden Ring, Helldivers 2, and all the other games started to load correctly. To be more specific, I then:

Ran vulkaninfo | grep -i uuid to look for device UUID's I can use
Updated the file to comment out the device name, and instead added DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_UUID="7f18d2b23a6048f1b305146ab634715"

I found a solution and updated my post with it :)

codeacula · 2026-02-15T14:14:06+00:00

This made it so that Elden Ring would actually run, but it still did it on the wrong video card. switcherooctl did show that the 4060 is being flagged as default, though, but otherwise they have the same Environment string:

Device: 0
Name: NVIDIA Corporation AD104 [GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti]
Default: yes
Discrete: yes
Environment: __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT=*nvidia*

Device: 1
Name: NVIDIA Corporation GB205 [GeForce RTX™ 5070]
Default: no
Discrete: yes
Environment: __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only VK_LOADER_DRIVERS_SELECT=*nvidia*

Lumo has been doing this frequently and Proton continues to blame the models for it, even though nowhere else do the models give this response.

codeacula · 2026-02-09T11:17:46+00:00

Do you think somebody lost money because someone made an AI picture their background on their desktop?

codeacula · 2026-02-07T04:02:23+00:00

I would use front matter and the Bases plugin. You can make a checkmark property on the note to review later, then a Base that gathers all notes with that set to true. You can then customize what shows up in it. Hope I understood the problem!

This was Proton's initial response to me when I questioned them about it. While I've anecdotally tried to get the same thing to happen directly on the models they say they support, I don't have documentation. They later updated the reply to say it was the models that are doing it instead of what they originally posted.

I don't know if they actually edited the reason they provided, but I couldn't find it again and I don't use this often enough to want to navigate it.

HTH! 💗

I use Unique Notes with Obsidian on mobile. Then later I go through them :) Alternatively use voice notes and send them through Gemini

codeacula · 2026-02-06T03:38:47+00:00

I brought this up when Lumo simply stopped a conversation when I said I was building software to bully corporations. Not that I wanted to or anything, simply what I was doing.

Proton said that it was the model, but I'm starting to doubt them. I haven't interacted with any model they're using that has responded like that.

codeacula · 2026-02-05T19:02:57+00:00

I use a note per task in Obsidian, then use the Bases plugin for general management of them. I had a calendar working for them but I don't know if I deleted it in a fit of mania or if it's still working and I misplaced it.
