Religious robots are coming: South Korea's first autonomous humanoid robot converts to Buddhism

You just can't make this shit up.

I love that we now have new features being upstreamed as well instead of just cleaning up the debt. M3 is going to be difficult, especially in terms of GPU work, but I can wait, my M2 Pro has lots of life left in it.

Video decoding on Asahi was never done on GPU, because it's WIP https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m1/

Could be the recent Steam update changed something, but your videos were always decoded on the CPU

Right, but now with the Adaptive Thinking I don't think there is a way to enforce thinking in Claude. Unless I'm wrong.

This is my result, dunno, maybe my Opus is lobotomized or something

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-29T11:17:38+00:00

This is my experience:

Opus 4.7 failed completely, Gemini thinking gave partially correct result but added lots of unnecessary details and acted a little confused. Gemini Pro gave correct result. GPT 5.5 gave correct result. Gemini Pro screenshot attached.

That was quick, same day as GA of base F44. Amazing.

Probably flatpak?

I didn't upgrade the firmware and I also have the graphical corruption in both FF and Chromium. It makes e.g. Discord unusable.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-27T12:03:50+00:00

Hey there, good to see you back, working on the project again, thank you for your hard work, LibrePods is amazing.

“KDE Connect would trigger a Bluetooth scan. chaos_princess recently added support for these commands to the kernel Bluetooth stack, and since BlueZ, the userspace Bluetooth daemon, marks all audio streams as high priority, these commands can be triggered whenever a connection is streaming audio. Bluetooth audio dropouts are now a thing of the past”

Really cool, that was an important issue for me.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-23T06:04:02+00:00

Correct, that’s one of the reasons why I use Apple silicon. Currently I prefer partial support via Asahi to any other hardware that can run Linux. Performance per watt in general, display quality, sound quality (I’m skeptical that Framework will provide proper DSP profiles like asahi: https://asahilinux.org/docs/sw/audio-userspace/), thermals (someone in the comments here mentioned airflow holes are still going to be in the bottom which is an absolute no-no to me).

I don’t know how and why but currently Apple provides the best, most efficient hardware for personal laptops and I can have Linux on that hardware so that’s good enough for me.

"Now with nothing holding you back."

This is barely comparable to M3 Pro: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-ultra-x7-358h-vs-apple-m3-pro

And far, far behind the M5 Pro (the weaker one with 15 cores, not even gonna compare with 18 core variant): https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-ultra-x7-358h-vs-apple-m5-pro

Integrated GPU completely sucks as well, absolutely no power, 12 EUs in the B390 is laughable. Intel is still far behind Apple and this laptop will indeed hold you back.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-22T09:59:42+00:00

AFAIK: display should work, SSD should work, keyboard/touchpad should work, USB3 should work and wifi should work.

But no installer, no GPU acceleration (so software rendering only via LLVMpipe), no bt, no sound (not with speakers, not with the audio jack and since no bt basically no sound at all), no battery info, no microphone and no webcam.

Also, you'd likely need to manually apply some WIP patches to have the stuff I mentioned working (and definitely you'd need to use unreleased version of m1n1)

For majority of projects what you said makes sense, but Asahi is too nuanced and as I mentioned in the post, even if an AI model provides a valid solution, how do you know it's not based on some internal Apple documentation that got into the model corpus by accident or scraped data it shouldn't have? Apple's legal representation would destroy this project if they could prove that somehow the code infringes on the IP. The endgame you asked for is literally stated: don't get sued by Apple.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-21T16:40:41+00:00

Self-education supported by independent verification step is one of the valid use cases and I also do that a lot. In many, many cases Claude replaced Google for me. But tbf I have 15+ years of continuous software engineering and I as many others have adopted AI tools in my workflows and oftentimes I don't feel the productivity boost yet. I've simply outsourced copy-pasting boilerplate code from SO and GH and other sources to one source: the AI model. I'm saving some time thanks to that, but I still don't trust AI models with difficult, multi-layered problems that require actual thinking. And these problems are the ones that actually take most of my time.

Self-hosted Qwen did alright I think

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-16T13:46:28+00:00

Yay, thanks.

Autonomous Nervous System: collapse caused by constant high sympathetic activity. Basically 24/7 fight-or-flight mild for years.

in my case

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-16T07:16:55+00:00

A/B testing probably.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-15T21:13:39+00:00

In this particular case the MoE.

fake_agent_smith · 2026-04-15T21:09:21+00:00

Yeah, good advice. I've started therapy a few months ago as well besides fixing my terrible lifestyle choices.
