> Seems like dense 30B is back in fashion? Huh, well... no? Gemma A4B and Qwen A3B are quite popular in fact. I'm sure 3.8 35B A3B will outperform 3.6 27B by all metrics

> It's better than the benchmark scores seem to indicate compared to Qwen 3.6 27B. I'm very excited for 3.8 Is it worth considering if it's only marginally better than Qwen 3.6 tho…

Cool, gotta try this out under Termux-X11

The rich swe has no children, he only has AI agents.

Sounds interesting, and promising! I'm no expert in streaming videos, but your shell reminded me of mosh [1]. Mosh's auth approach is also interesting - it leverages ssh for authen…

> With its "wayland-only" future it will leave behind several linux users. This is so sad. Something like this already happened two decades ago - when GNOME 3 arrived, and KDE 4 - …

Sorry, you're right. My assumption was that, given meteorites are metal rich, and two orders of magnitude more mass, the human contribution was negligible. It turns out I was wrong…

LEO satellites come down on their own in a few months/years. 100 tons of metal burning in the atmosphere seems a lot, but it's barely the total mass of meteorites falling in 24-48 …

Smooth scrolling also worked on the Amiga Cygnus Editor in 1986 - yes, 40 years ago - on a computer with 512Kb RAM and a ~7MHz 68000 CPU, and from keyboard too. And Zed complains a…

I tried it with Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B UD-IQ3_XXS on an RTX 5060 Ti with 16Gb - the convert step succeeded, but upon loading the converted model I encountered: Model load deferred: 'Qwen…

Thanks! I'm... unimpressed.

Minisforum, Gmktec also have Ryzen AI HX 370 mini PCs with 128Gb (2x64Gb) max LPDDR5. It's dirt cheap, you can get one barebone with ~€750 on Amazon (the 395 similarly retails for …

Debian Testing isn't really unstable - the dev wasn't exaggerating. But I'd also suggest Kubuntu (you can remove snap and all of its packages, and install Firefox and Thunderbird .…

> That is curated search done right. Adding keywords in the relevant .desktop files should be enough to make this work in other DE's too. I just tried it in KDE (by adding a 'comme…

Not much? Google would still have cloud services (which unlike Azure adoption depending on Windows/Office, only basically depend on the Internet), Gemini and Google Drive paid subs…

I'm replacing Dropbox with Unison [0] over ssh, BTW. It's a great piece of software (multiplatform, and it even has a GUI). [0] https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison

Clippy to the rescue! :-)

WinXP in a (properly configured) VM boots, runs faster than Win7, Win10 - at least under Linux. It is plagued by compatibility issues though - eg. no modern HTTPS, no modern browse…

Yeah the real mistake was starting with Endeavour. I wonder just how many people are turned off by their initial Linux experience because they choose stuff like Arch, Gentoo, or so…
