Fun fact: The pattern of the torches' flickering is encoded via special strings in the source code: https://jasemagee.com/post/2022-03-27-26-year-old-quake-ligh...

For anyone who enjoys this sort of thing, I found this postmortem of an Alone in the Dark clone for PICO-8 highly informative: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3804

has anyone been able to get bonsai models to run at a proper speed in a x86 windows cpu-only setting, using llama.cpp?

For anybody else trying to grok backprop, I found it very helpful to look at karpathy's microgpt, a barebones LLM in 200 lines of python. The autograd itself is just 40 lines, and …

As a kid I played Ken's Labyrinth, a raycaster FPS from around the same time as Wolf3D. Only years later I found out that this was actually the same Ken Silverman that went on to c…

I'm on the fence because I have a TSC-X controller and it's unclear if it's supported. Somebody on the forums posted a tool that converts generic joystick axes to keypresses, but n…

> Or maybe Lisp is so pure that it embodies both Light Side and Dark Side, like a god that spawned the programming universe. This isn't so far off, considering that some people con…

The PS1 architecture is fascinating - it will also reveal why PS1 games have such a unique, recognizable style that games are trying to recreate nowadays.

To add some context, the author of this article is a science fiction writer, one of his stories was adapted into the movie "Arrival".

Not a one-liner, but I was impressed by this simple rogue-like written in 10 lines of BASIC: https://bunsen.itch.io/the-snake-temple-by-rax

Having only dabbled in Lisp and knowing nothing about the plugins TFA mentions, there's also this FWIW: https://github.com/jpalardy/vim-slime

Thank you, good sir!

Great, thanks! :-) and to mirror another poster: what kind of prompt parsing (prefill) speed do you get for that model? Also how is the speed for the 27B model?

I have been contemplating a M5 Pro MBP, but for the life for me I wasn't able to find benchmarks for real-world models, do you happen to know how many tokens per second roughly you…

Seeing as this is HN, I was expecting something on chemical properties of iron etc, but was pleasantly surprised

OTOH, with the IMSAI-8080 you'd have the satisfaction of using the same machine as David Lightman of Wargames fame

To add some context, this was made for the PICO-8 fantasy console, which (by design) is very limited, so it's immensely impressive to see something like this working on it. Honestl…

So I'm guessing it's sort of like Fennel, which consciously doesn't completely hide its underlying Lua runtime? https://fennel-lang.org/

I am considering a M5 Pro (18/20C) Macbook with 64GB of RAM, but I'm having a really hard time finding benchmarks of real world models: Could somebody please provide some tokens-pe…

This is the whole point of Karpathy's nanochat which OP refers to, to train a GPT-2 level LLM for under $100, renting an 8xH100 VM.

This kind of is Postel's law, in a way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle

Out of curiosity, what size Qwen did you use, at what quantization?

I think I remember a Carmack tweet where he mentioned in most cases he only considers it once he reaches three duplicates

This seems like a nice context to mention Sturgeon's law: > ninety percent of everything is crud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law

> Low cost specialized models Can you elaborate on this? Is this something that companies would train themselves?
