Any idea what pricing will be like? The fact that you call out Drone and Defense industries on your page suggests to me this is extremely expensive. I recently priced out getting a…

One can piss away a lot of money gardening with little to show for it, especially if you buy bagged soil. Buy a raised planter, some soil, some fertilizer, some seedlings, a couple…

For reference, IBM was founded in 1911. At the time "computer" was a profession, not a machine, and the majority of US households had no electricity or telephone service

Not so much hardware these days, about half of IBM's revenue comes from software (Red Hat related stuff alone probably brings in a ton), and about 20% comes from consulting

Doesnt seem suspect to me, training runs have checkpoints and there is no reason you cant release a checkpoint even if you are still training the model

> They chose to compare against Open AI’s mid tier model Terra instead of Sol and still lost some benchmark against it. If you scroll very slightly farther there is a benchmark tha…

Yeah Anthropic is the only company I am aware of that only allows subscription usage in first party products

> Apple has worked very hard to make unified memory a feasible approach, and the benefits of that are pretty clear in apple silicon- that efficiency not only results in power and t…

llama.cpp has used mmap by default for years

The article notes Google Cloud revenue grew 82% YoY

I took an embedded C/C++ class online 5-10 years ago and hated it. I dont want to be doing bit shifting math to put some device's registers in the correct state for me to write tex…

Yeah I did a project with ESP32 and micropython recently and getting the proof of concept up was very very quick. The agent I was using also had no problem writing drivers for peri…

> I’d really rather we didn’t kill animals tbh, but when it comes to growing our food we have little choice right now Several hundred million Indians would disagree

Its just a single benchmark, but Luna 5.6 xhigh scores within the margin of error the same as Opus 4.8 max on DeepSWE for 8x cheaper. Luna max is quite a bit higher than Opus and s…

OpenCode Go is a great deal but I recently dumped my subscription because I found myself rarely reaching for it over my Anthropic sub (I can get 40 hours of work a week out of the …

You do understand that the "frontier" people are usually talking about is the cost-intelligence frontier right? By definition there is no model that is both cheaper and as intellig…

> You will see people claim Claude uses 2x to 4x the tokens of GPT. My guess is something to this effect was in the prompt and the LLM made a point of correcting it

Try an 8 bit quant of Qwen 35B, but temper your expectations. Those Qwen 3.6 models are impressive for the size, but you need an order of magnitude more parameters to actually be u…

Phased array radars are export controlled in the US. It doesnt mean its illegal to build or own, but it might be illegal to sell in some cases

llama.cpp supports a wide variety of 4-bit and smaller quants and mmap's models by default, so you dont need to be able to hold the weights in memory (the OS will handle bringing t…

> So... maybe we can still use third party harnesses with Claude Code subscriptions... for now? The way I read this is: yes, if the third party harness uses Anthropic's Agent SDK. …

I have a SwitchBot Meter Pro CO2 that is just temp/humidity/C02. Works well and was inexpensive ($50 or so).

I've got a NDIR CO2 sensor about 6 weeks into a supposed 1 year battery life, still reporting 100% battery. Power use is very low since it only fires up the CO2 sensor every 30 min…

Giving users ability to use apt with root privileges is pretty much game over security wise. Full root is a malicious package away
