    Now it just sticks to using the old ones?

    Unfortunately this is at least 2 decades too late now. Aside from the diehard fans, it's the behaviour between the companies that stopped me buying their products, and I'm probably…

    It's a good job their allies will defend them then if their ammo is low - this isn't sarcasm, it's the point of NATO, but hey if Trump still wants to pull out of that alliance...

    Do you have a news source for 3.8 27B pls?

    Does this require a given hardware platform, or for example, could I run this model with a cheap mini robot with a single camera (i.e. good enough without depth), tracked treads, a…

    Not really, I did consider some mining, just to see what the fuss was but probably wouldn't even break even.

    Oh and also side mounted a 4GB 750Ti for graphics, and/or whisper use, parallel to the mainboard. Airflow from the front fans to back is unimpeded by anything in this way.

    Took off the bezels, compressed 4 into a block, had a rigid bifurcation card link GPUs 1 and 3 on top, another underneath the block do 2 and 4. Then I fitted my own custom 40x40x30…

    It was AliExpress, during sales, earlier this year, with discounts from playing games. I typically used to see much higher eBay prices. A bit of hyperbole tbh, not everyone has the…

    It typically runs 120W idling, and 450W peak. Not great power efficiency wise, but I have a Cron midnight shutdown and and S5 bios event powering it up on a morning (I could use wa…

    It's minimal kind of speed but for the price I feel it's quite good. Smaller models fly as you'd expect, but the fact it can load these mid range models into something that is dirt…

    No mention of the venerable Tesla P4. 75W peak, 8GB VRAM, about $80 (£60). I have 6x P4s, a Xeon E5 2696v3 (36 threads, 3.8ghz peak but all core turbo unlocked, so 6 cores at 3.8Gh…

    I don't know tbh, I run Qwen 3.6 27B, Q6, on two 5060TIs with 128K context (2 parallel, 256K total) and get better fairly good performance. It's not perfect, but that's why I also …

    And a number of Qwen variants are available to self host. Do Anthropic have any like that?

    You may want to consider using a feature flag API if you think it will be unmaintainable. Strategy patterns and code-centralised feature management ftw :)

    Space programmes have this issue too - everything had to be relearnt and un-obsoleted for Artemis Moonshots

    We used to flip display upside down in display options, which also reverses the mouse. We'd then lock the PC and disconnect the keyboard. After they figured out the keyboard had be…

    I've only an A-Level in Further Maths from 1997, but understand complex numbers and have come across complex inverse trig functions before. My takeaway for other people like me fro…

    Also, cheaper... X99 + 8x DDR4 + 2696V4 + 4x Tesla P4s running on llama.cpp. Total cost about $500 including case and a 650W PSU, excluding RAM. Running TDP about 200W non peak 550…

    Won't happen. They'll buy the next indie game studio that is successful, chew on their profits, then tank that, rinse repeat.

    A lot of apologists say that "a human would have hit that". That's kind of irrelevant, this technology is meant to be safer and held to a higher standard. Comparing to a human is n…

    Well you're wrong on all accounts of the veiled insults. Also, I've not stated LGBT, this has nothing to do with it, it's weird you'd even mention it.

    I imagine it might be limited by number of layers and you'll get diminishing returns as well at some point caused by network latency.

    The irony of this is that Gen-Z have been mollycoddled with praise by their parents and modern life, we give medals for participation, or runners up prizes for losing. We tell peop…
