Reproducibility is one of the main components of science. For computer science to remain a science the community should focus on reproducibility.

A prime example of this is the AI space, some researchers create something wonderful with some turtle ass shit python code running on their billion dollar gpu cluster and just write up a readme file for reproducibility and then call it a day. Then it takes people 5 os reinstalls and like 10 recompiles to discover that the original researchers were using a proprietary driver.

That's why we need things like nix, and don't even get me started about docker.

The other opium of the masses

Once again Reqiq insights has analyzed a significant phenomenon developing in our country. They've explored this issue and created a cool graphic paired with a well nuanced article. I recommend checking it out.

This is how i configure chromium, fish, alacritty on nixos.

For example, if you look at the fish file. The section where it say enable = true tells nixos (home-manager in this case) to install fish on my system. The shellAliases section creates a bunch of alias rules in my config.fish file and same for the rest.

This means that i have declaratively expressed that i want fish on my system and configured it from one file.

Although it's pretty rudimentary i have put my nix configs up on github check them out

Yesterday i followed this tutorial to setup a wireguard vpn on aws. You should do the same if you have a free aws account. https://youtu.be/GL5rphZ7wUQ
tldr;
1. setup a free tier eligable ubuntu ec2 instance
2. install pivpn on it and enable wireguard
3. create a wireguard client profile

The step where the guy tells you to create an Elastic IP for your instance is not necessary. There is already a public IP created for you EC2 instance.
Cooking something, what do you think

I am launching a CLI/TUI app competition. I am calling it /dev/tty. The name is taken from the file that represents the virtual teletype a program has access to in Linux. I hope most of you are going to participate. You can use any programming language you want. (Obviously some languages are going to be appreciated more than others, example Rust 😁)

There will be 2 winners who will receive 2000 ETB and 1 winner who will receive 1000 ETB.

Don't forget to share this with people who you think would want to participate.

Checkout the website for more info. If you have any questions, you can reach @frectonz

Putting that 10 billies from Microsoft to good use OpenAI bought ai.com #AI #OpenAI #Microsoft
WTF ai.com now redirects to x.ai (elon musk's new AI company).
Did he buy it from OpenAI 😁
