<p>This is ridiculous logic. When a person makes a premeditated decision it was their choice, and only their choice. There is no one else responsible.<p>Is he required to permanently fire anyone because of a government shutdown? If the answer is no, then he made a choice to do so (if firings happen).</p>

<p>> Your secrets are not safe from someone if someone needs them to run your code.<p>This is true. I don't disagree with that or you're assessment of repo secrets.<p>My comment was in the context of the grandparent committing secrets to a private repo which is a bad practice (regardless of visibility). You could do that for tests, sure (I would suggestion creating random secrets for each test when you can), but then you're creating a bad habit. If you can't use random secrets for tests repo secrets would be acceptable, but I wouldn't use them beyond that.<p>For CI and deploys I would opt for some kind of secret manager. CI can be run on your own infrastructure, secret managers can be run on your own infrastructure, etc...<p>But somewhere in the stack secret(s) will be exposed to _someone_.</p>

<p>Does that entire model fit in gpu memory? How's it run?<p>I tried running a model larger than ram size and it loads some layers into the gpu but offloads to the cpu also. It's faster than cpu alone for me, but not by a lot.</p>

<p>I wrote a similar post about a week ago, but for an [unsupported] Radeon RX 5500 with 4Gi RAM with ollama and fedora 41. Can only run llama:3.2 or deepseek-r1:1.5b, but they're pretty usable if you're ok with a small model and it's for personal use.<p>I didn't go into detail about how to setup openweb-ui, but there is documentation for the on the project's site.<p><a href="https://blue42.net/linux-ollama-radeon-rx5500/post/" rel="nofollow">https://blue42.net/linux-ollama-radeon-rx5500/post/</a></p>

<p>I have a Pixel also, and have issues with is since the change to Gemini. It works _most_ of the time, but every once in a while it'll tell me it can't set a reminder.<p>I use reminders often so I suppose it is a low failure rate.<p>But, when they first made the change to Gemini I had to switch back for a few weeks/months before it could set reminders properly.</p>

<p>This may not count because it's not bash specifically or even Linux -> Linux, but one place you might run into this is running scripts between Linux and Mac/BSD.<p>In the past I've seen bad things happen because a script was written by someone on OSX that gets run on a Linux (GNU) based system.<p>Two common examples are the `sleep` and `sed` commands.<p>Edit: I meant to reply to the parent comment.</p>

<p>I've had a Pixel 2XL, Pixel 6Pro or XL (worst phone I've ever owned), and now a Pixel 8 Pro. I strongly considered moving to iPhone after my Pixel 6 experience, but decided to give it one last chance since I really prefer Android over iOS.<p>When I bought the 8 I got a "free" Pixel Watch 2 with the purchase. I have not owned an Apple Watch, but my wife has an older model.<p>They do have Fitbit integration and it works pretty well for tracking walks, jogs, and cycling. I don't use it religiously and I'm not an exercise maniac.<p>The watch is nice and very functional. My biggest complaint is the battery life is really bad. I have to charge it daily -- I usually only wear it during the day and charge overnight. It'll charge pretty quickly 1-2hr but I don't care enough to do it.<p>It looks decent and works well enough to manage notifications and take calls when I can't grab my phone. The normal functions are on par with my wife's (older model) Apple watch.<p>I think if I was a serious fitness and outdoor activity kind of person I would buy a Garmin. I didn't do an in-depth comparison of the watches because I only use the base functionality of fitness tracking watches (my previous smart watch was a Withings) so it's entirely possible a new Apple watch offers some great feature I'm not aware of or wouldn't personally use.<p>That's my personal experience with the Pixel Watch 2. It's fine for my use case, but the battery life truly is bad.</p>
