However, we need to use the tools that we have. Even if I wanted to buy a (bunch of) H200 for me and my colleagues and could get the expense approved, they are hard to source where we are.

Yes. You can rent them, but I’m not sure how that affects the IP discussion.

Moreover, not everyone is doing coding and video so we have different tasks that can fit quite well on relatively light laptops (Gemma et al), for relatively directed coding sessions we can make do with RTX cards, or a small step up, all the way to H200 in the workstation. Or pods thereof.

We have the graphics cards and laptops with MLX right now. The H200 will take a year at least to arrive. Better get used to run stuff locally.

We have set up something where you create a ticket, Make sure it contains enough information, and with the right tag added it will make a branch with PR for you which stays up to date based on updates to the ticket and comments on the PR.

It’s creepy in a way. But you also can’t really use local (as in workstation LLM) for that. Sure we could run something like a distributed task scheduler across all our engineer devices but just pushing it to copilot is easier.

Locally I haven’t gone much further than 8k. That is sufficient for small changes on small code bases. And you need condensed tool output.

I haven’t tried any tool that compresses the tokens yet.

However, election topics never were about this kind of meta behaviour and more of the topics. Many people voted for PvdA, GroenLinks, D66, and other parties. Even for the more right wing ones than VVD.

The thing is that topics these days are so broad that they do not revolve around left/right or liberal/conservative anymore.

On topic, privatisation could perfectly have been paired with an European ideal from the beginning. In fact, before all these shenanigans with the one currently called president started, it was still believed we as “the West” were one hegemony. In that light, things were privatised along the ideals. It is only lately that the ideals changed to include more country sovereignty.

Sadly, I don’t know of a way to influence how our government practices IT. Except maybe to work for Logius. And even then there will be the topic of funding.

Or as us or companies to wrap the build tools to provide the wrapping for them.

I’m running a maven proxy locally. All builds happen inside containers. I only use public repos for python, npm, and go. So these builds happen also in containers but don’t need a repository proxy.

Moving between windows of the same app is cmd+~. Cmd-tab moves to another app, remaining on the same desktop if that has a window there.

The delay in focus can be reduced by turning off animations in “accessibility”.

Regardless, I’m with you on that everything is way more snappy on my Linux machine. Even if it’s running a “full” WM/DM like KDE.
