Step four, you want to pull the fluid column up to unstick the trash, so go slow ‘down’ and somewhat more forceful on the ‘up’.

Try these steps:

$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia* # remove current installed nvidia software including drivers
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # verify it sees your graphics card
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # install drivers automatically
$ sudo reboot

This is everything I ended up doing which eventually fixed it for me:

# Update repo
sudo apt update

# Remove amdgpu drivers
sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
sudo apt purge libdrm-amdgpu*
sudo apt purge libdrm-amdgpu1

# Blacklist the amdgpu driver since we are using nvidia only
echo "blacklist amdgpu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# Remove nvidia driver and install from system76 repo
sudo apt purge *nvidia*
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:system76-dev/stable
sudo apt install -y system76-driver-nvidia
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo reboot

Nobody would watch the slop without human spark. I’ve seen early renditions of what AI video generation can do. It sucks. Nobody would watch that slop. However, with proper tooling to allow a human to create something, it will be amazing.

Realistically not going to happen anytime soon in the US at least.

I’m not interested in books championing our reduction of human expansion. I want to see us reach out into the stars one day. Technological development and progress is needed. We need to also change our mindset on current systems. E.g., if it doesn’t maximize return on investment, forget about it. If there is a way to do it slightly cheaper even if it’s detrimental, do it cheaper. That mindset sucks.

That’s probably going to be one of the main weapons against us, the media generating fake news using AI to control us.

It depends on the container I suppose. There are some that are very difficult to rebuild depending on what’s in it and what it does. Some very complex software can be ran in containers.

I completely agree. However the genie is out of the bottle. Not much we can do to prevent it at this point, but there is plenty we can do to learn about it and defend against is abuse against us.

I am biased, I am having a ton of fun with LLMs and they are helping me achieve some personal goals. Do they use energy? Sure. Will new, more powerful technologies come along later that require even greater amounts of energy? I hope so one day. We need to find cleaner more abundant energy sources.

Well for me, I enjoy pair programming my own projects with offline models. I also bounce ideas off it to attempt to ground myself in some type of reality (some models are better for this than others… probably has risk of delusions of grandeur. Some models will just verbally suck you off which is annoying).

I built ansible tooling for deploying k3s kubernetes and Ceph-backed Proxmox clusters and VMs and containers and services. Utilized the help of LLMs to structure my playbooks and figure out how roles work.

I love learning new things and LLMs have a lot to offer in that regard. You have to watch out for the bullshit and independently look at other sources as well, but it’s a great starting point and I can sometimes have sone deep conversations around some topics.

I’m not sure regulation is going to be an open for this in the US anytime soon. Maybe EU can show us the way.

I think it’s probably a bit early to tell for certain on that assessment. There is definitely pros and cons to all technology. Electricity production causes environmental damage, building wooden houses require logging. Plastics are a byproduct of a withering industry. Asbestos might have saved more lives than it took, but there were probably much better ways to solve fire resistant buildings.

Why all these destructive things? Capitalism requires maximizing profits above all else. So, really the question is how will capitalism fuck us over with AI? So, so many ways. That’s why it’s important that we build community understanding of this technology in order to combat it. It’s not going away. It’s here to stay. So we either put our heads in the sand and pretend it’s not here or we can embrace it and learn how it works and how to defeat it and come up with open source tooling to combat it.

I’m in the latter camp. I love technology breakthroughs and want to learn first hand the capabilities to understand how it will be used against me and how I can use it.

Restricting our energy use is not a very good end game. We need to learn how to unlock more energy production without destruction of the environment. This will happen through technological development. Temporarily rationing or conservation may be needed, but permanent is not the answer.

I’ve been wanting to tinker with NixOS. I’ve stuck in the stone ages automating VM deployments on my Proxmox cluster using ansible. One line and about 30 minutes (cuda install is a beast) to build a reproducible VM running llama.cpp with llama-swap.

Do you gave an nvidia graphics card? The only problem I’ve had since I installed Pop OS is their shity driver installer crapped out somehow and I gad to recover my system by blacklisting amd graphics driver, uninstall nvidia driver and reinstall. It wad not for the feint of heart.

Honestly using the existing question stock to generate current-version answers using the current documentation as synthetic training data is probably the way to go.

Typically, the container image maintainer will provide environment variables which can override the database connection. This isn’t always the case but usually it’s as simple as updating those and ensuring network access between your containers.

A lot of times it is necessary to build the container oneself, e.g., to fix a bug, satisfy a security requirement, or because the container as-built just isn’t compatible with the environment. So in that case would you contract an expert to rebuild it, host it on a VM, look for a different solution, or something else?

reproducing those installs from scratch + restoring backups would be a single command plus waiting 5 minutes.

Is that with Ansible or your own tooling or something else?

At some point, someone said the same thing about:

• electricity
• books
• cars
• computers
• medicine
• houses

Is this /c/technology or /c/anti_technology because it’s hard to tell most of the time.
