Focus

• notes tooling and Emacs/zk workflow

Log

Session 17:32 (la-vida-privada-de-los-pensamientos)

• Fixed zk editor integration for Nushell/Emacs by configuring .zk/config.toml to use emacsclient --socket-name server -c -a emacs.
• Investigated Emacs daemon health, stopped/restarted homebrew.emacs.service, and verified the daemon socket at /run/user/1000/emacs/server.
• Updated justfile so just poo without a title uses fzf over recent POO notes and added just recent [LIMIT] for recent-note selection.
• Fixed titled POO note creation to use the poo.org template explicitly via zk new ... --template poo.org instead of falling back to the default note template.
• Committed and pushed repo changes: Configure zk to use Emacs and Improve POO note creation and Emacs integration.
• Next: Verify the full jg poo flow end-to-end in normal use; .zk/notebook.db is still a local uncommitted change.

Sessions 18:10 (paranoid — 2 sessions)

• 2026-05-15: Reviewed and tightened add-nn-adapt-lab OpenSpec proposal — pinned LiteRT runtime, committed to Room for persistence, updated tasks/proposal, validated with openspec validate --strict, pushed 5a116a2.
• 2026-05-27: Debugged VLC install hanging on Bluefin (immutable Fedora Atomic); Flatpak system OSTree store deadlocked at apply phase for both GL drivers (142 MB) and VLC itself.
• Identified root cause: system Flatpak store contention on Bluefin's read-only base image management.
• Fix: added Flathub as a user remote (flatpak remote-add --user) and installed with flatpak install --user --no-related flathub org.videolan.VLC — writes to ~/.local/share/flatpak/ instead of the system store.
• Arc: two separate topics (OpenSpec work + Bluefin Flatpak debugging) in the same paranoid project session window.
• Next: evaluate add-nn-training-lab proposal for feasibility and cross-check shared-domain types (NnExample, NnPrediction) against adapt-lab contract.

Session 18:12 (test — Julia GPU / ROCm on Bluefin)

• Verified AMD Radeon 780M (gfx1103 / RDNA3) is GPU-capable: ROCm kernel driver loaded, AMDGPU.jl detects device.
• Root cause of AMDGPU.jl failure: system ROCm libs are versioned (.so.7) but find_roc_path() needs unversioned .so symlinks.
• Fixed without root: created ~/.local/rocm/lib64/ with symlinks; setting ROCM_PATH=$HOME/.local/rocm makes Julia find the GPU.
• Added ROCM_PATH to nushell env.nu, tracked with chezmoi, committed and pushed to dotfiles repo.
• Lux.jl on AMDGPU: basic ops work, but rocBLAS (dense layers) and MIOpen (conv/batchnorm) are missing.
• On Bluefin (immutable OS), options for ROCm libraries: rpm-ostree install (needs reboot) or distrobox.
• Evaluated distrobox images: rocm/rocm-terminal:latest (~1.1 GB compressed, ~3–4 GB on disk) vs ubuntu:22.04 + manual ROCm.
• Julia in distrobox: /home/linuxbrew not mounted → host julia unavailable; shared ~/.julia/ causes glibc cache conflicts.
• Decision: isolate Julia inside distrobox with separate depot and juliaup install: JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=~/.julia-rocm, juliaup to ~/.juliaup-rocm.
• Next: set up the isolated distrobox environment and verify AMDGPU.jl + Lux.jl work end-to-end inside it.

Tasks created

Decisions

• Use explicit emacsclient --socket-name server for zk editor commands instead of relying on implicit socket discovery.
• Use --template poo.org for titled POO note creation to guarantee the POO structure is rendered.
