Implementations
- Vervis is the reference implementation of ForgeFed. It serves as a demo platform for testing the protocol and new features.
- Forgejo is implementing federation.
- Pagure has an unmaintained ForgeFed plugin.
Only one of the three weblinks works. And no, it’s not the reference implementation…
So instead of asking it to build a game like x, we ask it to write design documents of x, and then we ask it to implement those?
It wasn’t a scarce resource before. Why is it more scarce now if we’re just offloading into the cloud which makes it, supposedly, significantly more efficient? People had RAM before. Now they can’t get any [for similar price].
It wasn’t even scarce before them.
The advantage of decompilation as a task is that you have a reference output you can validate against.
I would assume the approach, mechanisms, and quality of produced code is similar to general/prompted code generating.
I assume the produced code (and its quality) depends on the compiled code; how much was stripped or obfuscated, and what runtime are we talking about which may or may not have language constructs that guide structure. With little metadata or code structure left AI would shift more into it’s general patterns than if there is more metadata available that already defines structures or names.
The thought of integrating a deterministic decompiler and then use AI to structure it and make it more readable while verifying the output remains the same seems like an interesting extension or alternative workflow and toolchain.
I have not used these kinds of AI decompilation tools or workflows, but thinking purely from my background and general experience.
Now, with all that telemetry in place and a coding agent I can finally engage with production properly: not reactively when something goes wrong, but every day I can chat with the production, ask it about its concerns, about what is going on lately, if something feels wrong.
Good luck
I assume NIM only works with nvidia cards not AMD?
I didn’t have this issue, but I will share my opinion anyway.
What do you mean by “actual programming”? I would expect that to include not knowing stuff beforehand, to explore and prototype solutions and missing information. That’s the opposite of what you seem to expect, judging from the rest of your sentence? (missing know how, unclear docs, no youtube course to follow along to)
I learned through hacking website and related stuff in php, going into a popular C++ FOSS project, and other projects. I oriented myself through what already existed and documentation.
The best way to learn is through self interest, through actual projects or functionality you try to implement. If it’s scoped small enough, with a doable challenge, that’s how you grow.
