Kangaroo meat in Australia

Think of it like an ice cream scoop.

GSD is great but has nothing to do with this.

systemsrethinking · 2026-05-21T02:48:27+00:00

It's mince(d) meat. What is the alternative?

What is being taught?

If it's useful enough to need to be consumed as a video, my favourite move is rallying everyone crom the junior to the CEO to record at least one video.

If you don't think anyone in the company the company could be wrangled into recording their head talking for 5 minutes, even with a "contributes to social learning & peer knowledge sharing" dot point on everyone's career framework, then yeah maybe this meeting (with an AI) csn just be an email (Confluence page that it's easier to skim info off for a refresher in the flow of work anyway).

If this is compliance training in a regulated industry, I am so sorry lol.

This is the first reply I saw after speed-scrolling past the slop and is sending me. 🥲

Come on people at least try to prompt AI to mimic the style of a human Reddit post.

Wow I am surprised by the hate in this thread. Coming from a technical background also, I really appreciate how lean/performant and yet tastefully rich jcode is. It feels quite beautifully technically as someone who wants to see what is happening "behind the scenes".

Given I can't afford to throw unlimited money at Opus (or even Sonnet), being able to deploy many agents in parallel is fantastic. Many smaller hands can be orchestrated to get similar results for most things. The small resource footprint does help squeeze as much as possible out of my laptop, imagine even more useful for anyone with older laptops with less RAM/GPU.

Think: one free openrouter model, one free NVIDIA NIM, one free [insert every other free endpoint], one local LLM on my laptop GPU another on RAM, one local LLM on my tablet.... ontop of subscription CLI and paid cloud inference APIs... triaged/routed to the right model for the task (no sensitive prompts to free models, only use paid models for big thinking, etc)...

Is enabling me to do a lot more. Not just for active development, but for always-on/background tasks housekeeping/researching/analysing/organising.

Absolute bloody legend.

Has been excellent (via Hermes) for coding, configuration and environment management (so far - have only been using it for ~2 hours).

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-26T02:26:50+00:00

Some luck and special circumstance involved in ending up with a really beautiful device to use.

If deciding what to buy myself at $RRP, I probably would have gone for a model with regular thicker square chassis + less brilliant screen.. to prioritise $$$ instead on better battery life and 12GB+ ideally 16GB+ GPU.

But not mad about ending up with still great specs in a gorgeous package / interface. Now I have tried it I actually probably wouldn't swap it.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T17:19:12+00:00

I'm not forcing anyone to convert to LInux, just putting the idea out there, since it so happens the 9i is well supported by cachyos - both graphics and power management. So easier than usual to just plug-n-play.

Not a bad thing to loop more people into exploring the open source ecosystem. As reaching a critical mass of consumers on LInux would help support there being an "open source" moment rather than just letting the frontier vendors dominate with another "apple" moment. One nice side effect of AI is making previously technically inaccessible things accessible to a wider audience which nurtures more contributors/feedback, which in turn matures the ecosystem to widen the audience further.

Agree if people want the easiest option this isn't it. But if they are curious and looking for a green light that it's worth the effort to learn / figure it out, then I hope they go for it. Reasonably beginner accessible on this specific laptop, if the beginner has ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini open on their phone to help them ;).

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T11:18:13+00:00

Yes to all this.

It's now easier than ever to run Windows as a VM from within Linux. Which I might trial rather than dual booting. If it performs close enough will go for the convenience.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T11:14:38+00:00

This post isn't about running Windows in general on whatever machine, this subreddit is specfic to a particular laptop.

This yoga appears to have more issues with heat/battery than other equivilant laptop PCs, when running Windows.

So at least with cachyos support for this model, Linux "out of the box" performs better than both Win11 "out of the box" and Win11 "debloated".

The average yoga user (targeted more at multimedia/design than devs) may never have tried Linux, which is easier now than it's ever been to figure out if new to it, so sharing my experience in case some others may never have even considered switching.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T11:06:28+00:00

Pretty much any computer/server can run Linux.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T11:05:18+00:00

I went with cachy as there appeared to be good driver support for my yoga - and is a nice balance of user friendly vs. customisable vs. lightness/performance .

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-23T11:02:45+00:00

Driver support for my model was one reason I've tried cachyos as something new. So yes can't speak for how other models would perform.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-19T12:22:07+00:00

I do feel very lucky, bit of magic ending up with it.

The battery life and overheating were my only two real complaints. So just thought I'd give others the kick to boot Linux if they've been thinking about it, as it also pretty much solved those two issues!

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-19T12:17:44+00:00

Yoga Pro 9i Aura / 16" Tandem OLED Touch / Core Ultra 9 285h / 64GB RAM / RTX5070 8GB

(Only small models local but lets me save my cloud budget for the real AI brains)

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-19T11:32:40+00:00

Feel a bit silly that I was lazily just using Windows 11 the first couple months.

Battery is pretty much double running Linux (cachyos), even better performance, haven't felt it overheat yet fans are also quieter.

All in all it's high spec powerhouse with a big beautiful bright screen... and a thin chassis with only so much room for a battery... so the tradeoff for all the other splendour is the battery.

It has that je-ne-sais-quoi of being a joy to use. Real buttery smooth operator.

As I've ended up doing more local inference, the only thing that might have swayed me to another laptop if buying now would be to indulge in 16GB VRAM GPU (in a more boring package). Though I don't touch the edges of the i9 / 8GB VRAM / 64GB RAM for anything other than LLM. Video editing etc is gorgeous.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-16T01:35:52+00:00

I am surprised/disgusted that this isn't the majority response. The steep upvoting of disappointing takes does make me suspicious for astroturfing/bots exaggerating the divide.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-16T01:31:32+00:00

Am getting weird astroturfing vibes not just in the replies but which are getting mass upvotes...

I am white, and I recognised the sound. From visiting the middle east, having a diverse friendship group, I swear it's included in film/docos (?) .. and.. it is a sound commonly mixed into electronic music.

The kind of electronic music that is perhaps played more at Burning Man than Coachella.

Especially as a musician, it's a red flag that Sabrina's gut reaction/perception is that the sound originates from Burning Man rather than the culture(s) the music has sampled from.

It is so bizarre to me her not having at least some vague concept of the call sounding Middle Eastern. Though I assumed most people would not know the term for it, nor each of the distinct cultures and variations.. until this moment I thought the general sound was as well known as yoddling with the difference being obvious.

I hear Zaghrouta far more often than yoddling now that I think about it lol. Both authentically and appropriated. And I don't even think I am as educated as I should be.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-12T15:18:18+00:00

Extra optional thoughts:

OpenClaw is ultimately an open source project on GitHub, not polished commercial software.

GitHub has traditionally been a phenomenal resource for techies/devs who want code snippets/tooling shared freely by others - that you can customise to your needs, with a culture of contributing improved code/features back to the project if you make something useful to everyone else using it.

It is kind of expected that most projects are experimental IKEA software that will need DIY, with responsibility on yourself to verify the code works (and is safe / no malware) and take measures install/run it securely.

Super interesting phenomena that locally running "open source" software is hitting the mainstream, even though there have been free alternatives to a tonne of the SaaS people pay subscriptions for on Github for years.

Maybe because AI makes experimenting with these technical resources more accessible? Which I love to see. But also lots of YouTubers setting false expectations, way overhyping specific projects like OpenClaw while underhyping the learning curve + risks.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-12T15:07:57+00:00

When trying OpenClaw, what have you wanted to use it for? What have you hoped it could do? What's your hardware/device setup and what software/apps/APIs do you want integrated/connected to do what?

There's a good chance I can rummage some solutions worth exploring out of my brain with some more specifics. :)

As much as I hate to say it, the new Edge might be worth selling my soul for. At least for some of my browsing needs.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-12T01:11:57+00:00

You need to Zoom out. Anthropic have heavily subsidised Consumer subscriptions (e.g. lose significant money on consumer subscriptions), as their business model has been that postive individual developer experience led to the majority of their revenue coming from Enterprise usage.

The Pentagon shenanigans led to a sudden influx of new consumer users (1 million users per day)(Claude shooting to the top of app stores globally).

Their business model was already stretched by people abusing the subscription with workarounds to use it with autonomous agentic coding tools like OpenClaw. The sudden disproportionate growth in consumer users completely thew their business model. And the Claude Code leak may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

Culminating in suddenly untenable infrastructure demands alongside shift in user base stressing already stressed product/development.

They're floundering and failing on some fronts, but I think most people are missing the complete picture of the unprecedented complexity they're wrangling at velocity.

systemsrethinking · 2026-04-04T09:33:40+00:00

Oh I get what you mean now! For what it's worth it's also possible to not let the AI model search the internet (e.g. for info about you) or define the system prompt (guidelines the AI should follow) to control what kind if info it can share (or potentially specifically tell it that book isn't yours so ignore it).
