I don't know why, but for some reason, I really like seeing my CPU and GPU hard at work :)

Screenshot showing 3 windows. From top to bottom: 
Window title: "Background Job Executor Client - http://10.5.138.85:8001" showing 3 tasks in progress: "Finding masks with SAM in 50-0537011925", "Finding masks with SAM in 50-0537011928" and "Postprocessing SAM masks in 50-0537011926"

Middle window: Putty with an SSH connection to that same machine showing htop with all 16 cores being at 100% and 45 GB in RAM

Top window: Another instance of Putty but showing nvtop with a GPU usage oscillating between 0% and 100%

I am trying to use the new #DeepSeek #reasoning models for some programming help and within one day of using it, I managed to...
- leak system prompts through the thought process
- trigger indefinitely long thought processes (I had to kill the AI engine because it wouldn't stop thinking)
- Create a glitch prompt (similar to the SolidGoldMagikarp thing with #ChatGPT )

And I didn't even try to break it (I swear!). I really just wanted to use it for normal productive tasks!

Installing #Windows on a #VM be like:
1. Download a _fresh_ Windows 11 zip
2. "Installing"................. 99% (ah almost done)
3. "Preparing Windows"....(?)...... 86%
4. "We are preparing some things for you"... (no progress bar anymore !?)
5. "We're still working on it".... (I sure hope so!?)
6. "Installing updates" (remember: I just downloaded a fresh Windows ZIP 🙄)

Key changes: Fixed that flaw

Me: Noo, all you did was to make the code more ugly, but it still contains that very same critical flaw 😡

Sometimes with #AI it's really garbage in --> garbage out

Classic #ChatGPT :
Me: Please generate some #Kotlin code to fulfil this task.

ChatGPT: Sure, here's some Kotlin code that fulfils this task:

fun codeThatLooksLikeItFulfilsTheTaskButActuallyHasACriticalFlaw() {
}

Me: The code that you generated has this critical flaw. Please generate code that fixes that flaw.

ChatGPT: You're correct, my previously generated code had this flaw. Here's some code that fixes this flaw:

fun codeThatIsEvenMoreObfuscatedButStillHasThatSameCriticalFlaw() {
}

An interesting case of #irony : Today, we visited the #mocomuseum in #Amsterdam . The #museum features some pieces of #art that criticize modern #consumerism and #capitalism and yet, at the end of the museum tour, we had to walk through a museum shop where we could buy those very same motives printed on t shirts 😂

For the first time, I can finally say "I've added AI to our product"
- Yes, it's actually useful
- No, I have not trained the model myself
- And yes, the model runs locally (I am not transferring 40+ TB of data to a cloud service 🙃 )

It's always so much "fun" to debug a networking bug in a multi-threaded system with multiple pieces of software written in different programming languages all talking over the same bus....... 🤮

Today, I finally found a useful application of #AI: The Computer Vision Group at @unifreiburg created an AI that automatically scrapes the dishes served at surrounding #canteens and generates an image for each dish: lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de I promise you, though: "Verschiedenes Vegetarisches" did not look remotely as nice as the AI predicted 🙃

Luckily, all of this was only happening on a feature branch and I fixed the performance issue before it caused any real harm

TIL: By default, the H2 database vacuums the entire data base whenever a database connection is closed. In my case, I am using Kotlin Exposed to access the database which (by default) uses a new connection for every query. This meant that I was vacuuming the whole database after _every_ _single_ _query_ 🤦‍♂️
Using a connection pool instantly fixed this and reduced my test execution time from 60+ minutes to under 5 minutes 🙃
