LLMs are game changers for guix, gemini was able to create manifests for absolutely anything I asked for with very few iterations.

USPS started sending me pictures of the place where I used to live 5 years ago all the sudden, they are not addressed to me and there is no way I can stop these mails (I could block them on gmail but that will affect my own digest).

I am making way more than 10x of what I was making in Europe, for exactly the same role. Cost of living is definitely not 10x.

I am originally from Europe and I must ask : how many startups of global reach has Europe produced in the last 30 years compared to the US as a whole (or even just the SF Bay Area). What is Europe doing in AI compared to the US or China?

Literally me right now, got my first SDR less than a month ago because I wanted to have an FM radio for emergencies and I am designing antennas and studying for my amateur radio license.

The most amazing part of guix (and nixOS) is that you can just copy that piece of code into your home-config.scm and have it running in a few seconds. It's pretty mind blowing.
