    A few years ago, on July 4th one of my mom's dogs freaked out, somehow managed to escape, and got hit by a car before my mom found her. She loved that dog, regularly attending nose…

    When claude goes down a wrong path, I tend to clear context and write a new prompt that helps guide it down the correct path. Whatever thinking or context that led it there has ine…

    I found this, which has some: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.28876 TLDR: RTK does not look good according to the author's benchmark.

    That list also places Sonnet 4.6 above Opus 4.6, which doesn't match my experience.

    Exactly. How can "we" develop and encourage benchmarks for multi-turn user assistance? That is what I want. I feel like the models and harnesses push much too hard against this wor…

    What quant do you run it at? 32GB seems like cutting it close on the rtx 5090 if going 8b, but other commenters are saying 4b lobotomizes the model.

    If performance is the concern, ugrep will get you most of the way there relative to gnu grep, and should be fully grep compatible in terms of syntax: https://github.com/Genivia/ugr…

    Yes. I think one of the big advantages of SoA is that you only pay for the fields you're currently using. If you need a field somewhere, you can add it and only pay the cost of ite…

    foot also offers a client/server architecture. If you start a foot server (e.g. with a systemd service), you can use `footclient -N`. This may reduce the memory pressure of running…

    Yeah, for now. I'd like it to be open, but I also want to potentially be able to make money/a living off of it. My dream would be that it can be open while hardware vendors pay me …

    I'm still working on it. I'm currently working on a cache tile-size optimization algorithm that should (a) handle trees (a set of loops can be merged at some cache levels and split…

    I was once a bit of a Julia performance expert, but moved toward c++ for hobby projects even while still using Julia professionally. I wrote a blog post at the time with exactly th…

    Fellow kakoune user here. I'm curious about your use case/ what you're doing with it!

    In my experience, llms don't reason well about expected states, contracts, invariants, etc. Partly because that don't have long term memory and are often forced to reason about cod…

    I netted huge performance wins out of AVX512 on my Skylake-X chips all the time. I'm excited about less downclocking and smarter throttling algorithms, but AVX512 was great even wi…

    They're 8x A720 + 4x M520, not Snapdragon X.

    I use niri and footclient -N, so builtin window and tab completion don't appeal to be. Foot feels fast, but I've not actually measured the latency. It also seems to use less CPU th…

    I use kakoune, and don't understand why helix seems to be taking off while kakoune (which predated and inspired helix) remains niche. Kakoune fully embraces the unix philosophy, ev…

    I think they're arguing Cause -> cognitive disease Cause -> plaques That is, that the same cause is behind both. There may be some arrows from plaque to disease as well (i.e., that…

    Is including batteries the main reason helix seems to have started taking off, while kakoune hasn't? I use kakoune, because I like the client/server architecture for managing multi…

    I agree. The problem with eager diagnostics and templates is that the program could define a `Base ` specialization that has a working copy constructor later. [0] I think if you de…

    I use Wshadow personally. I highly recommend it. I think code that violates it (even if correct) is harder to understand.
