Yeah, been fighting variants of this problem as a data engineer where the upstream database would only let you see the current state of the table and did not provide you a changelo…

My understanding is that Taalas burned a Large Language Model as analog silicon, leading to something that ran (roughly) 10x faster for 10x less power ...at the cost of it being bu…

Agree, copy-paste feels like it works 80% of the time, which is maddening when 1 in 5 copy paste attempts fail. (mostly from zed to something else) Why?? At least Excel has the cou…

> In a compute-constrained world where model demand is growing faster than capacity I don't buy it. There have been recent weeks where some of the mid-level models (Hy3, Laguna M.1…

Why settle for sampling when you can have the whole dataset? The spiral pattern is an excellent example. "Sure it looks like this when you zoom out, but when you zoom in, you can s…

Gleam ? Elixir's exhaustive pattern matching and gradual type checking is also on my radar. I guess I don't know what you mean by effects typing.

Signatories appear to group into (a) sellers of hardware (Nvidia, IBM) and those who rent hardware out to others (Amazon, Microsoft) They want open models because they don't have t…

https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro#providers Look through the provider list for a company you are willing to do business with?

Data is heavy. I would say "it's risky and requires a lot of labor to migrate without corruption, loss of data" and also minimizing downtime. Sure anyone can run pg_backup, but can…

Dunno, I have not used either of those. (Had been using zed and ollama, and ollama had plenty of odd defaults that needed fixing) Glancing through the docs, I would be digging down…

If the local model is served via ollama, there's a default timeout of 10 minutes , which can be adjusted either per-call , or (as I did) in the systemd service environment variable…

It's difficult to make money if you have to spend all the money on defense lawyers. Once Trump dies of natural causes I assume some intrepid journalists will go through the mountai…

Similar interest here, possibly including if qwen 3.6, Gemma4 or DiffusionGemma (with the largest quants that will fit in a single card) will offer, say, 50 tokens-per-second (fast…

Have you seen https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48892015 and yoloai? https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai Seems like both projects are following very similar approaches.

"integrated graphics processor, using system memory" had its name dragged through the mud for decades. So we had to rebadge it to "unified memory". Curious if we'll ever see some o…

I find it to be a useful tool for summarizing things, creating examples, and as a tutor for explaining a topic using analogies. Plus it can generate and iterate on code snippets. L…

You can work in the technology department of a non-tech company. I am enjoying being a part of an employee-owned company so far.

Ok, and? You can live with that if there are more important things to deal with. I've stared at ugly LLM code, that I had just had generated, and worked well enough for my purposes…

I have been looking at this sandbox tool, but haven't quite figured out how I want to deploy it, and anyways I haven't found an agent I like yet. https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloa…

I play with my brother and an old friend of mine. I'm getting close to forty. There's no "leagues", it's just lobbies you join, and you gain or loose OS (Elo) per battle. Party up …

Speaking as an occasional contributor: there's a roadmap towards that, but there's a few components that need to finish baking before we release on Steam. e.g. the current lobby pr…

BAR does have a series of scenarios for singleplayer / offline play. Or in multiplayer you can arrange a co-operative game with humans against AI opponents, which often has substan…

Knowing what to build (and that it hasn't already been built or bought elsewhere in the company) requires bits of information / person-to-person networking / visibility into the st…
