Are LLMs a Dead-End

Tue, 19 May 2026 19:27:02 +0000

Intro

In order to get some AI skills I’ve been playing around a little with setting up some local AI, I have an old computer with 32 GB RAM and an RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM), so I can run some local models with ollama. Also gotten OpenCode to connect to it. Kinda curious how far I can get with that set up.

And then I had a thought - What if LLMs are a dead end

I read and watch a lot of Science-Fiction, and a concept that is sometimes used is that of an ancient race that “evolved” into stagnation. An example would be one of my favorite book series - The Well of Souls - by Jack L. Chalker, where there are traces of an ancient race known as the Markovians all over the universe, and they evolved technologically so much that they stagnated and to avoid dying out had to start over and become other (completely new) races in the universe (don’t worry, should you decide to look up and read this series that little piece of knowledge won’t spoil the story for you).

Overriding Git's Tab-Completion in Bash

Only suggest local branches for tab-completion

If you use git from the command line like I do, then you probably already know that you can define aliases in ~/.gitconfig like this:

[alias]
	co = checkout

Or you can create the alias using the command line and make git itself write in ~/.gitconfig:

$ git config --global alias.co "checkout"

With this alias you can type “git co” instead of “git checkout”, and tab-completion works with the alias as well.

Redesigned website

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome to my redesigned website.

I created my old website 8 years ago (in 2018) and while it was functional I just felt it was time for a change. I was never a frontend guy so for this new website I decided to use Hugo, which is a static site generator, so I can write content in markdown and focus on that. Hugo and a theme then takes care of generating all the HTML, CSS and Javascript.
