    Docker containers use Linux kernel features to create an isolated environment, running on the same machine as docker is. This creates a virtual machine, with its own kernel, and ru…

    That can only be true if the workload is compute bound, not memory bandwidth bound.

    Iceland has mostly been governed by the center right conservative independence party, which has been quick to sell land and resources to anyone interested. Kárahnjúkar is the canon…

    Is there anything of value in this project? It sounds interesting at a glance, but it seems to be AI slop. So it's hard to tell if there are any interesting discoveries there, or j…

    Have you tried Qwen 3.6 or Gemma 4? They're not frontier level but certainly have their uses.

    Note that your monitor is a QD-OLED, not a QLED monitor. Despite the similar names, these are two very different technologies. QD-OLED is a OLED panel that uses QD (quantum dots) t…

    That HN agent review is pretty usable. Very cool!

    It is unbelievable that this is a controversial opinion.

    That seems like a decently sized market. Maybe not for an AI lab though.

    Two things can be true at once.

    The whole post and that paragraph in particular sound AI generated, that triple "No" is a big tell. I'd not be surprised if that confirmation complaint is just a random suggestion …

    They're comparing Qwen's moe vs dense (smaller difference) against Gemma's moe vs dense (bigger difference). Your proposed alternative misses the point.

    Unfortunately, llama.cpp quantization technology has been stagnant for two years. The main quantization developer left or was kicked out of llama.cpp due to an attribution dispute.…

    LLMs produce a distribution of token probabilities which is then sampled. This sampling is the only random part of the system. If you just take the most probable token every time, …

    SCOTUS is indeed compromised.

    I heard from a medium reliable source that this loophole wasn't as popular as the zeitgeist implies. I'd love to know how true that is and if so, how the rich finance themselves.

    I listened to a few episodes on a recommendation. The episodes lead you to believe that the host is some agnostic person that's just curious about these reports. They are not as th…

    I've found GPT-5 Thinking to perform worse than o3 did in tasks of a similar nature. It makes more bad assumptions that de-rail the train of thought.

    The version of llama.cpp that Llamafile uses supports structured outputs. Don't waste your time with bloat like langchain. Think about why langchain has dozens of adapters that are…

    I gave up after it didn't let me see the prompt that went into the LLM, without using their proprietary service. I'd recommend just using the API directly. They're very simple. The…

    I was under the impression that this is not the case. Aspartame has been studied a lot and not found to be harmful.

    I discovered that this is very common when posting a long article about LLM reasoning. Half the comments spoke of the exact things in the article as if they were original ideas.

    I was very pleased to discover that Mistral's Le Chat has inbuilt support for python code execution and sympy is importable. It will regularly use it and reliably when asked to.

    Consensus seems to be forming around the fact that Ollama is not genuinely trying to be part of the open-source community.

    Ollama are known for their lack of transparency, poor attribution and anti-user decisions. I was surprised to see the amount of attribution in this post. They've been catching quit…
