Very little relevance next to capitalist BS. I look at these articles as psyops to push blame onto the public and take the spotlight off of corporate nonsense on a massive global scale.

It might have a temperature cutoff for the compressor

You get used to how to find the right way of doing stuff. If you’re still in the Windows biased search results space, everything FOSS is made to look sketchy. Those search results are not deterministic. That bias is intentional. Eventually Microsoft stops biasing you or bribing Google to do the same and your search results will be better. Then you stop using the search results all together for the most part. You’ll figure out that the ways you did things in the past were inefficient and usually wrong. There are better ways that you’ll discover and those repos are self hosted or on gitlab or elsewhere. You eventually just use RPM fusion, or you setup distrobox with Arch and the AUR, or you toss on the Nix package manager and start using flakes. The vast majority of my initial headaches were due to trying to replicate Windows workflows. Then I learned all of that was weird and pretty backwards.

It hints that the model may know both a pool of fasteners and individual types. It wasn’t just trained on what fences are or board constructed elements as those would have defacto defined what a fastener means in the context of a fence. This looks more like a mix of hardware types, so on some level it knows about these specific details. There is probably a trained use case where the company is generating media for product, architectural, and/or automotive design.

The latch/hinge/tool looking monstrosity with a pipe/nail, looks like it was in the mid evolutionary stage of iteration. If anyone reading this has never had advanced control of a model it will be hard to understand, but there are steps to the generation process. In some sampling techniques a similar type of object is first generated quickly out of the static noise. Then the model focuses on small areas of the image specifically, evolving these almost in isolation for several iterations before moving to another small area. With this kind of sampler, some part of the image is always in transition. If you have control over the stepping process, it is possible to dial in the steps to a point that the attention is on the background or in a intermediate state that still looks natural.

There are also sampling techniques that make almost video like changes that look more like claymation in an animated stop motion like film where stuff slides into frame and moves with lots of things happening at once.

Crazy, out of the box abstract thinking here, but explosives are just highly volatile chemistry. Batteries are all about galvanic potential in slightly less volatile chemistry. Batteries were developed for life cycle reuse. For drones, surely some chemist out there can think of a way to make a single use battery that is also an explosive. Perhaps one that has the structure to mount a small electronics kit with a few motors.

I would argue that the only relevant small system is busybox now. That has Vi and Nano IIRC. In most cases, there is likely a way of mounting that system on a host machine or using Emacs to dial into the target. The evilmode bindings are Vim bindings for Emacs.

When I’m stuck with such a system, the editor is the least of my concerns. All the other Bash commands missing in Ash are the part I struggle with. Like the first thing I’m doing is recreating basic compgen and tree functional equivalents in scripts so that I know my available tools and can navigate the unknown. The lack of manpages, and full flag options descriptions are crippling.

Thus far, Emacs feels like advanced next level bash. I’m looking at all the integrated workflows and ootions. You can hook in RSS, Firefox, email, programming languages, Arduino, serial, SSH, and LLM’s, all within Emacs. It isn’t a text editor, it is everything.

I think Derek Taylor (Distro Tube on YT) put it best when talking about the way people compare text editors, ‘it isn’t a relevant comparison; like apples to oranges.’ Emacs is not a text editor; Emacs can do text editing. If all you’re doing is text editing, you might be better off with the simple tool. If you are connecting workflows, Emacs is like a glue that can patch everything into one tool. Like you can run Emacs as a server and access files on the remote system through Emacs. Emacs appears to be a language more than anything, but a language between something like Bash and Python in simplicity and flexible scope.

Today I will be continuing my quest to integrate two large language models in parallel within Emacs. I want to use Emacs to make an agent that includes one of my largest models I can run on my hardware and a code completion specific model.

Additionally, everyone that appears to actually use Emacs seems to lean heavily into the org-mode stuff. That is one of my biggest curiosities at the moment. Go look at Sasha Chua’s website. Most of that is rendered from org-mode. Org-mode seems to be a super powerful way of organizing your life, taking notes, and presenting information in useful ways.

I wondered why I don’t hear about people using Emacs like I hear about other tools albeit leet or corpo standard. I think it is because Emacs is extremely intimate. It seems to be so tailored to the individual that it can’t be shared. AI has turned into something like that for me too. The ways I find it to be useful are simply too nuanced to be relatable. I think Emacs is like this too. The ways it becomes useful are so integrated into the periphery and layering of workflows that it is not feasible to extract some small detail to share with another person outside of Emacs users at a similar point along the learning curve.
