Hoping we get a reguler evdev driver like hid-steam did for the original one

Either the UI is defined in some DSL, that’s loaded (or compiled) and then you spend most of the time writing getElement(pathToElement) and wiring it up, or you have to boilerplate create each element and parent.addChild(element).

Im saying “there are no elements” because of what OP says here, the system i’m using now doesn’t have that.

You have a panel+border+text “primitive” drawing functions. Nothing is stopping you from creating a single function that calls all 3 of those. You probably should, since it’s probably a common pattern. You could call it DrawBoxedText. There is no difference between a DrawBoxedText function and a BoxedText element with a draw() method.

yeah i could make a function for that, but i would argue that “here is no difference between a DrawBoxedText function and a BoxedText element with a draw() method.” there is a big difference between these. Personally i find using a function like DrawBoxedText much easier.

I had my own library for UI that tried to have a element model, but it was bloated and didn’t scale well. Now im drawing everything via vulkan compute shaders and its fast and looks great.

I think the philosophy needs to switch from elements back to pixels, atleast that is what worked for me.

i dare to say its as easy as webdev

snippet from my game:

DrawMenuButton(buf, btnExit, "Exit to title", exitHover, exitHover && window.mouseLeftHeld, false, font, topFontPx, exitCol);
DrawMenuButton(buf, btnSave, "Save changes", saveHover, saveHover && window.mouseLeftHeld, false, font, topFontPx, saveCol);
PushPanel(buf, titleRect, panelBgColor, 6.0f * s);
PushBorder(buf, titleRect, borderColor, 6.0f * s, 1.5f * s);
DrawText(buf, "OPTIONS", titleRect.x + titleRect.w * 0.5f, titleRect.y + titleRect.h * 0.5f + topFontPx * 0.32f, font, topFontPx, textUnfocusedColor, TextAlign::Center);

this is in the draw function, and along with the other code produces this menu:

I’m running 2x4090, the 35B fits very comfortable in that.

For large models like the 397B without a ton of money there are several ways, ive seen posts of people using arrays of used 3090s with good results.

The other option is CPU inference although with current RAM prices that is less cost effective.

I was looking at maybe an array of Milk-V JUPITER2 since vllm added riscv support which could be very cost effective.

Depending what OP was using before but going from something like GPT5.2 to LLama 3 8B will be a massive difference (Although OP says to use it only for basic tasks so that does offset it)

LLama 3 already being a very old model doesn’t help either

I run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-AWQ-4bit which while leagues ahead of LLama 3 8B still is a very noticeable difference.

This is not to say open source is bad, if one had the resources to run something like Qwen3.5-397B-A17B it would also be up there.

Losing a vital plane now when you are at war then it doesn’t really matter if it might get replaced sometime far in the future

You don’t have to be a tankie or a wankie to recognize the fact that a loss ratio of 0% is very good for an aircraft.

If it was a Russian or Chinese aircraft doing this then that would also be a fact.

It’s stupid to say that a single aircraft being damaged makes the entire type worthless like many here are saying when the F-35 is the only aircraft flying these missions and come back with only damage to a single plane.

That is not a political statement or approval of the strikes. That’s just a statement on the plane.

For the all the probably hundreds of sorties flown with a result of zero losses and only a single aircraft being damaged they might aswell be invisible.

I think everyone has once thought of the idea of taking an sbc and a touchscreen and making a linux phone, cool to actually see one!

It’s almost like client side anti cheat doesn’t work and if proper server side anti cheat is made it wouldn’t matter what platform the client is on.

I really don’t want to shill for nvidia but Isn’t the kernel driver open source now?

Forget that the real evil is that the first character of Int or Ganz in this case is capitalized

Why does it matter what is replaced?

I would say if it frees up a human from having to do it that it’s good news.

“must benefit everyone, not just a handful of billionaires”

It’s hard to disagree with that statement but all this upheaval about “killing jobs” seems really pointless to me.

A manual farm has far more employees then one that uses modern machinery, is the economy in decline if the farmer replaces human labor with machines?

Good stuff, Ukraine has proven again that having a nuclear arsenal is really the only way to ensure a country’s security when faced wirh a hostile nuclear armed neighbor.

Haven’t used shotcut or openshot but can recommend kdenlive, it has alot of features but I find it a bit clunky sometimes to work with.

For me when I was working on a large project it crashed once and the autorecover worked, although I still manually save since I’m paranoid.

I’m selfhosting Forgejo and i don’t really see the benefit of migrating to a container, i can easily install and update it via the package manager so what benefit does containerization give?

If there is a way to combine this with something like anubis this could be very interesting, then you are also not dependent on the honesty of reading the robots.txt

Have a RSL license? here you go scrape the content.

Trying to freeload? anubis time.

Having something to talk to is a massive improvement over bottling it all up.

AI is very beneficial to people who can’t afford the cost or are otherwise unable/unwilling to speak with a professional.

How is this not a “won’t somebody please think of the children” thing?

Yes it is terrible this has happend, but there is a way to prevent children from accessing AI and its called parenting.

Kids shouldn’t be using AI if it harms them, kids can’t make this choice so it should be made for them. Same with alcohol, same with porn, same with the other things restricted to children.

But that doesn’t mean responsible adults shouldn’t be able to use it, but “won’t somebody please think of the children” litigation will make that impossible.
