Ollama made it trivial for me to use claude code on my 48GB MacMini M4P with any model, including the Qwen3.5…nvfp4 which was so far the best I’ve tried. Once Ollama has a Mac frie…

absolute n00b here is very confused about the many variations; it looks like the Mac optimized MX versions aren’t available in Ollama yet (I mostly use claude code with this)

Thanks :) I’ll try to remember

> AV1 on RK3576, which has very preliminary support This peaked my interest, but I have no idea which device might have a RK3576

Backwards. The incompetent Transmeta board picked a VP from NVIDIA to be the CEO and his first action was to kill the IBM contract and move to TSMC, and forced TSMC to use a new un…

The Dynamo project was the genesis of a similar effort at Sun Microsystems which was the genesis of Transmeta Corp (all founders came from Sun). The question remains if the origina…

I wrote an entire graphical Go-game tree based editor in Lisp, with a stylus on PalmPilot. I considered it an artistic expression.

As I hate tapping on glass, mistyping non-stop, I’m always evaluating options. This is an awesome project and a great write up, but we want more! :) Please consider published a vid…

Twiddler really isn’t the same product at all

Yes, but this is way beyond that IMO. Really lovely project that I of course must build

Back then it was extremely rare for me to play anything more than a few minutes but Syndicate was fun, not too hard, and I remember finishing it. I was recently feature on a retro …

I haven’t tried it, but it claims to compress better than zstd which is a bold claim. The perf claims are meaningless without citing the exact benchmark platform details.

Completely false. The 4 KiB page size came from a machine with a total of 512 KiB (1962 Atlas, 3072B pages, 96k 48b words). It hasn’t scaled at all for inertia reasons and it has r…

Or some combination of the two. Obviously sounds expensive but 20 years ago this would have been fiction. I think it’s entirely likely that energy storage and production will conti…

why is that funny? I’ve done exactly this (in a processional setting): c2rust to get something functional and then incrementally rewrote the code while producing unit tests (approv…

I vaguely remember the NEWS workstation at the time, but it was seen as weirdly different and it wasn’t that cheap compared to the competition. Also, loads of companies came out wi…

Hmmm, I still don’t understand why I would care. Andy’s videos show a UI that is geektastic, as in, I could probably work with this but my non-technical peers couldn’t be bothered …

That’s pretty neat. I’ve always been in two minds about J/APL but at least now I can read the semantics in a precise manner.

Thanks. I'm curious about the internal representation. Is Turboshaft using literal SSA names for sources and destinations, or are destination implicit somehow?

Thanks, finally a signal in this thread of noise. I found it unbelievable that all media presented it as if it was his decision. Of course it wasn't. I "predicted" this three month…

The floppy drive in the Itanium I owned used the IDE interface. Go figure.

That's not even true as you can get lots of exceptions for the same instruction. For example a load can all of these and more (but only one will be reported at a time): instruction…

Example: this is a small program int main() { for(;;); }

That was my first introduction to C and I hacked a lot on that code. A very enjoyable time was had. My only regret with Rust is that a “Small Rust Compiler” will be an order of mag…

I have 40 years of C muscle memory and it took me many tries and a real investment to get into Rust, but I don’t do any C anymore (even for maintenance- I’d rather rewrite it in Ru…
