Did you read the post? It's not even that long. He explicitly mentions this...

This is a weird thing to call out, when there's so much else to talk about (price, specs, etc) buuuuuut- Check out the gameplay video partway down the page, where the two people ar…

I've used Hermes Agent in a container, and it worked ok. Little rought around the edges, but that's to be expected. But what I didn't understand... what benefit does it actually br…

The "address lookup" strategy is really interesting, especially how it uses actual DNS: https://docs.iroh.computer/concepts/address-lookup https://github.com/Nuhvi/pkarr/

the build they use is from February, over two months old: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/tag/b8121 Which might not sound like much, but 2months in llm time is a lon…

I've been wondering about adaptive decoding! It seems obvious to me that at some points during decoding (reasoning, "creative thinking") you would want a higher temperature, while …

Not really? If you read it, there is no validation, no correctness signal, no verification, none of that. They're just passing in benchmark inputs, collecting the outputs (regardle…

I find the branding to be a little odd. Like, it should be a github page with a README that says "here's how to use this." Like, the full explanation of this project is right there…

> x402 is an open, neutral standard for Internet-native payments. It lets anyone on the Internet easily charge, and any client pay on-demand, on a pay-per-use basis. A client, such…

Curious if someone could enlighten me- How much of these sorts of patches are specifically checking if a certain application is running, and then changing behavior to match what th…

if I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be!) my primary confusion with closures comes from the fact that: the trait they implement (FnOnce / Fn / FnMut) depends entirely upon what…

no payoff whatsoever? I just asked Claude to do a task that would have previously taken me four days. Then I got up and got lunch, and when I was back, it was done. I would never m…

I guess that makes this "standing on the shoulders of fabrications"

> This is a 30B parameter MoE with 3B active parameters Where are you finding that info? Not saying you're wrong; just saying that I didn't see that specified anywhere in the linke…

I truly, genuinely wanted to like Liquid Glass. I think the default reaction to ANY change in UX, even changes that are generally improvements, is: "I don't like this, it's differe…

Sure, of course I will trust the report as the source of truth. But I'm interested in the reporting. There are, you know, journalistic standards, which are considered kinda "journa…

I read the article (twice) and I still have the impression the pilot was in fact the one in the conference call Opening line: > A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an air…

I was wondering this as well. The green box could simply indicate it detected a face, using something like YOLO, or even a simpler technique like some point-and-shoot cameras use t…

Yeah, it's bizarre. Normally the pathway for this kind of thing would be: 1. theorized 2. proven in a research lab 3. not feasible in real-world use (fizzles and dies) if you're lu…
