    I’m using it on a 48GB machine and it causes some lag, so it might be worse on 24, but it should run. Unsloth recommends 18GB of RAM for Qwen3.6-27B (for their version of the model…

    This happened to me as well—thankfully not my personal account that I use for work, but the organization associated with an open source project I worked on was suspended. It simila…

    I’ve just read the two functions there by that footnote, `reaching_copies_meet`. I have so much code review feedback just on code style, before we even get into functionality. And …

    I think that’s the right attitude for technical mistakes. But this is the engineering equivalent of fraud. Especially given that the author then went in and removed the TODO commit…

    Tried to use voice cloning but in order to download the model weights I have to create a HuggingFace account, connect it on the command line, give them my contact information, and …

    One key thing to understand about TigerBeetle is that it's a file-system-backed database. Static allocation means they limit the number of resources in memory at once (number of co…

    You’re defending a weaker system than the actual system. The system you’re defending is a list of flagged plate numbers and a way of comparing seen plates against that list, and a …

    I also found the Zulip UX to be really confusing at first. The issue is messages show up in multiple places which is unintuitive for someone with a spacial brain like me. What I do…

    I checked my search history and I was thinking of a different website (zig toolbox, not linking intentionally, because it's purely AI slop).

    I seem to remember seeing this a week or two ago, and it was very obviously AI generated. (For those unfamiliar with Zig, AI is awful at generating Zig code: small sample dataset a…

    This is only a win for Ruby Central. They haven't conceded anything and they've convinced Ruby Core to endorse them as the correct and true maintainers of RubyGems. > While reposit…

    Three years ago I was very skeptical of Ladybird. But two things have changed. First, they have funding for 8 full time engineers, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. Second, it’s…
