I just got this one a few days ago so it's kinda weird I've seen it mentioned or posted about multiple times since. Guerrilla marketing? Anyway, it's definitely better than having …

They're definitely doing it based on IPs. I just hopped to a different VPN endpoint and it works for me again (same browser). For now.

Doesn't work for me. Seems like this login gate for old.reddit is being progressively rolled out.

The difference in noise pollution comes from power density & power generation, if they're doing so on site. The power demand (and resulting waste heat) absolutely eclipses that of …

There's more to it than that. They're not just obnoxious to exist in the vicinity of, they also drive up local energy prices.

>No one ever cared about DCs before now. Fewer people cared, sure.. but it's because until recently they weren't eclipsing power consumption of extremely energy-heavy industries, n…

You can expect around 55-60t/s with Qwen3.5:35b-a3b or gemma4:26b-a4b Q4

Qwen3.5/3.6 are really prone to looping and 'overthinking'. Gemma4 doesn't seem to have the same problems.

Why not 35b-a3b? ...or gemma4:26b-a4b? Both will be more capable than 9b and run at roughly similar (perhaps faster) speeds

It's gotten significantly better with the advent of local/offline MoE models (e.g. qwen3.5:35b-a3b, qwen3:30b-a3b, gpt-oss:20b-3.6b), which offer a good balance of prompt response …

OVH is nearly doubling their some of their VPS pricing soon.

100%. Roku's privacy policy is the most wildly invasive thing I've ever seen - basically everything that used to be just conspiracy theory.

Nice. Looks like it was peaking around 21:00 - 22:00 local time, got pretty intense for a while.

Yep. Manufacturers ditching Apple Carplay/Android Auto support will, if not immediately, inevitably pursue rent-seeking behavior in the form of paid subscriptions for services peop…

...they're not. This is a release of a 14" with the base M5, alongside the other existing M4 Pro/Max models. The Pro/Max rollout tends to lag behind by about 6 months.

Good chance they'll introduce it with the upcoming M5 Pro/Max; the non-pro/max devices always tended to be a little lower spec all around.

Pro/Max rollout tends to lag behind the 'base' by about 6 months It used to be a little less 'weird' when the base M-chips were only available in the Air and 13" MBP.

Correct. Sometimes much later. Still no M4 Ultra Studio available.

I wish they'd bring Space Gray back. Not a huge fan of Silver, and the 'Space Black' apparently tends to show smudges more.

The non-pro/max chipped MBPs have always been a little 'lower spec' in several regards. There used to be a little more separation though, with the non-pro chips available only in t…

Part of me misses my OG base 14" M4 Pro. The battery on that thing was absolutely phenomenal - literal 12-14+ hours of real-world use. Not so much on the 14" M1 Max (64GB) that I u…
