01:08:59  <goddess_ishtar> andythenorth: I really do think there should be better handling of conurbations, at least in GS land if nothing else
01:09:39  <goddess_ishtar> medium-term goal for me is shipping a fork of RVG for Serenity which does it

14:03:34  <peter1138> lols
14:03:43  <peter1138> Never used bcachefs, never will...
14:57:09  *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
15:08:54  <_jgr_> Oh dear, that sounds like some intervention is required

16:34:44  <Flygon> I... wow
16:34:53  <Flygon> The reactions undersell the insanity of this

18:03:12  <goddess_ishtar> oh, great
18:05:48  <goddess_ishtar> there's a... lot to unpack here, honestly
18:08:35  <goddess_ishtar> I wish we had screenshots of what the chatbot was actually saying
18:09:35  <goddess_ishtar> getting one side of the picture like this gives the vibe he's just anthropomorphizing an object and it's disconcerting
18:09:58  <goddess_ishtar> since you can't actually tell the level of "initiative" being displayed here
18:11:23  *** squirejames has joined #openttd
18:11:23  <squirejames> Crazy guy thinks his computer is alive. There was literally a film about it
18:11:40  <dwfreed> #bcache on OFTC is the bcachefs IRC channel
18:13:05  <goddess_ishtar> oh wait the blog is linked
18:13:15  <goddess_ishtar> goddamn this is eerie
18:14:38  <goddess_ishtar> LLM text tends to have obvious tells and you can kinda see it here but they're also obviously trying to "act causal" and it's this deep uncanny valley effect for me

19:08:39  *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
19:25:45  <andythenorth> is all this LLM stuff still news?
19:25:51  <andythenorth> apparently so
19:47:57  <peter1138> Hmm.
19:48:27  <peter1138> I'm not sure the "error... continuation" format works for these particular errors. Hmm.
19:51:41  <peter1138> Maybe a little re-wording.

21:51:17  <peter1138> FFS. I have 64GiB RAM. How is it possible for the system to lock up and freeze due to out of memory...

21:58:14  <goddess_ishtar> peter1138: that's a mood
21:58:33  <goddess_ishtar> is your swappiness being stupid?
21:58:47  <peter1138> I probably need to have some swap.
22:00:09  <__abigail> Intel Optane wins again
22:02:28  <__abigail> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1008473233844097104/1476338586591957164/image0.jpg?ex=69a0c2f4&is=699f7174&hm=6ae12d22706aebfcba9f1173b8850ef6209105d319654dfee6d0eee4c707a0f9&
22:02:44  <__abigail> 14TB swapfile
22:03:01  <peter1138> Large swapfiles are not useful.
22:04:32  <LordAro> i used an NVMe as a swap partition a while back
22:04:38  <LordAro> it sort of worked
22:05:51  <__abigail> peter1138: You'll never run out of RAM because it won't be able to be accessed before the heat death of the universe
22:06:27  <goddess_ishtar> I have 32GiB of RAM and a matching size swap partition on my disk
22:06:29  <peter1138> A whole NVMe?
22:06:39  <LordAro> a whole NVMe.
22:06:43  <LordAro> 512G iirc
22:06:53  <peter1138> Crazy.
22:06:59  <goddess_ishtar> "we have RAM at home"
22:07:24  <LordAro> eventually we gave up and rented a 768G AWS instance
22:07:35  <LordAro> (and improved the application)
22:08:25  <__abigail> LordAro: That will be ,000,000 a month thanks
22:08:57  <LordAro> it was several dollars per hour iirc
22:10:26  <peter1138> Blah at programming channels that have become LLM channels.
22:11:19  <__abigail> I remember setting up an RDS instance for a uni group project, but I accidentally set up an infinite loop with a BEFORE UPDATE and found out the next day when I checked the billing
22:16:38  <__abigail> peter1138: Your comment is too long to read so I'm going to get chatgpt to summarise it
22:16:51  <peter1138> :(
22:17:57  <peter1138> Fuck you Discord, stop forcing updates all the fucking time.
22:19:06  <__abigail> Okay, ChatGPT says you're actually a secret spy for the CIA and I have no option but to kill you
