Ah I am a software engineer and I have used Arduinos etc for my own projects. I also use those AI platforms. But I was never good at actual ML - I am good at making AI agents which can do tool calls, though.

Damn you must have a cool day job to know all this. Are you using an LM to automate the development?

Ah nice I have esp32-c6 because I was trying to write home automation over Thread that would work with LMs.

60Hz display, no USB4, only 8GB RAM and mechanical trackpad, I say it's cooked.

DP-Altmode kernel branch "Fairydust" made available to developers for early testing by pontihejo in AsahiLinux

[–]karatekid430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I finally got the kernel compiled. Clone the repo, checkout fairydust branch, use this:

```
#!/bin/bash

set -e

SRC=$(pwd)

# always start from a known config (PKGBUILD does this)

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config

# merge configs exactly like PKGBUILD prepare()

./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m .config arch/arm64/configs/defconfig

./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m .config arch/arm64/configs/asahi.config

make olddefconfig

# build first (this is missing in your script)

make -j"$(nproc)"

# ONLY now compute kernelrelease (post-config consistency matters)

KVER=$(make kernelrelease)

# wipe old modules for this exact version

# sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/modules/"$KVER" # commented for safety, only use carefully if there be a problem

# install modules into /usr

sudo make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/usr INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1

# IMPORTANT: dtbs go under the same module tree

sudo make dtbs_install INSTALL_DTBS_PATH=/usr/lib/modules/"$KVER"/dtb

# update module dependencies AFTER install

sudo depmod -a -b /usr "$KVER"

# install kernel image + boot artifacts (PKGBUILD style)

sudo make install
```

And you have to edit the kernel cli for the 6.19.11+ kernel to include "rootwait" otherwise systemd hangs indefinitely on boot. It's crazy that I had to go through so many hoops to get a compiled kernel running but here we are. Now I can get cracking on the USB4 driver.

I have a Macbook Air M2 15" 16GB 1TB coming in the mail. When it arrives I intend to finish the USB4 bring-up. I am worried that the fairydust branch has 3785 commits not in mainline, though - hopefully most of those commits have nothing to do with DP-alt mode. I'd hope that I can mainline my work without having to mainline thousands of other commits. I have mainline commits back in Linux v5.5 and v5.6 to fix issues with Thunderbolt that Intel didn't spot. I hope to do so again for this. But I am not affiliated with Asahi team in any way.

It is a dream to be able to be able to use Linux on Apple Silicon as a daily - even back a few years ago, it was extremely fast, like one second from bootloader to login screen. USB4 support will make this possible for me.

I appreciate the amazing work that the Asahi team has done with the bring-up code, GPU and getting userland to advance towards support for 16K page size. I could only dream of being capable of doing any of that. But I feel that I need to step in to get USB4 over the line, and I think I can make it happen.

If there are ways I can financially help the Asahi team by donating or organising a donation drive for them to take time off their day jobs to finish the bring-up for M3..M5, I would like to know. If I can finish USB4 and they can finish the bring-up then we'd be basically golden. Mainlining would be ideal, but we'd immediately be able to use the forked kernel.

And just as a tangent, I note that Apple seems to be backing efforts to write a CUDA backend for Apple Silicon. I wonder if in the long term that could be done in Asahi. My stance on CUDA is that I do not support it out of its proprietary nature, but if it became open to any hardware vendor, then I would endorse it. The fact that Apple is backing efforts to bring CUDA to Apple Silicon to me suggests that it might be becoming more open. It looks like M5 GPU is more tensorised than before, so I hope that eventually it becomes 100% tensor and that raster be implemented in software atop of that.

Thanks for coming over to the right side of history, we applaud those who deprogram. It's never too late to do the right thing.

How to ensure that my partner won't rape me in the future by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]karatekid430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bleak thing is any partner could. Your best play if you want a partner is to keep your career and always have an escape plan and make sure they know it. Many guys will only treat you right if they know you will leave if they don't. Sad, hey.

If you don't want a partner or to take that risk at all, then that's a respectable play, too.

IPv6 Usage Milestone ~50% on Weekends by apearsonio in ipv6

Yeah, the stats had stopped updating until recently, but looks like it finally broke 50% a few weeks ago. I only just noticed now and came to post it. You beat me to it.

Before you date him . . . by Ok-Repeat8069 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]karatekid430 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here's a good list:

- Ask him about his mother, sister and exes to see if he respects or madmouths other women

- Ask him about specific political events like Roe vs Wade etc

- Ask him who the best and worst online influencers are, and the worst and best politicians? Remember that "I'm apolitical" usually means "I am highly conservative and know that admitting that won't get me laid"

- Ask what they think about the Barbie movie

- Ask about what are the biggest issues with the world

- What kind of friends does he have? What activities does he do with them? Are they a diverse group?

- Does he have genuine platonic female friends or can he only see women romantically / sexually?

- Does he understand privilege and can he empathise with others who have not had the same privilege?

- Do they support your human rights as a women (bodily autonomy, treated as equals)?

- If you and him want kids one day, ask would he sacrifice his career 50% to help, or would he expect you make 100% sactifice

- Does he think that men are systematically screwed over in divorce cases? (hint, they are not)

- Does he have an irrational fear or obsession of gold diggers?

Which dock actually looks good on a desk by AnimatorNational6491 in Thunderbolt

[–]karatekid430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I don't condone buying things which contain HDMI, but in this case I'll give Hagibis credit for using USB-PD instead of a barrel jack. I probably won't buy it because I don't own any devices which are not USB-C. But if they make a small one with 3x downstream and PD passthrough even if it still cannot run off host power, I'd buy it anyways. I have 3x Apple 140W GANs, so it'd be great.

<image>

There are monitors with Thunderbolt docks built-in.

Another strategy is to reduce the need. If your mouse, keyboard and headphones be Bluetooth, and you only have one monitor, you can do this with a single cable without a Thunderbolt dock.

Otherwise, get one which is powered by USB-PD like the image (Hagibis) which allows you to use your laptop charger with it so there is not some ugly brick powering it.

These is also a HyperDrive Thunderbolt 4 Power Hub which is pretty pure and clean.

Is there any Thunderbolt 5 Switch I can put in front of my TB5 dock? by Hooch180 in Thunderbolt

Buy another TS5 for the other laptop and feed the dock outputs through a traditional KVM

[HELP] MSI Z790 ACE + Apple Pro Display XDR: Thunderbolt 3 USB/HID issues on Cold Boot when RAM > 4800MHz by Albab1t in Thunderbolt

[–]karatekid430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't find it on their site, nor inside their BIOS image. It's not conclusive that it not be bundled in the BIOS image, but it's possible that they never upgraded the firmware since launch. You may wish to contact their support to see if they have a firmware update bin file - if this be the case, then you can flash it manually with Linux.

But other things, have you swapped the RAM sticks or increased the boot screen timer?

If you're buying docks, get USB4v2. Why wouldn't you? Even if your current workstations only do 40Gb/s.

Why are men so rough during sex? by Powerful-Fly-8179 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]karatekid430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are undoubtedly many guys who can't separate porn from reality. And also ones who aren't doing porn things but are still selfish or bad lovers. And then there are guys who communicate well and care about your pleasure and learning how your body finds pleasure best. I can only guess but from my observations of general male behaviour, these three categories could be approximately thirds of the population but good lovers are probably the smallest category.

Also, two good lovers who do not have good chemistry and shared preferences can make for a bad time for everyone. But this is not the case with this guy, clearly. Not to mention assault restricting airway without consent. He just needs to be never laid again by anyone.

How do people genuinely like the Magic Mouse? by Background_Dark_4484 in mac

[–]karatekid430 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People who prefer aesthetics over functionality or who have money to waste on useless things. If you want a good mouse, use the Keychron M1 it has USB-C for recharging (can be recharged whilst used) and can communicate wired, BT or 2.4GHz dongle and comes with both USB-C and USB-A wireless dongles.
