    This feels like an uninformed, generalized opinion from someone with zero experience on the topic. Have you even used HTMX or a similar approach? Besides the memes, it is absolutel…

    For me personally, there is no point in using more reasoning than medium or sometimes high. It just gets so much slower and expensive, meaning that i have to wait longer to evaluat…

    It's not OpenAI, that's what the memory industry wants you to think.

    I recently installed an app to manually activate the fans on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro as I've never been able to trigger them over the past 4+ years. Just to check whether the fans ev…

    I can find it on rubygems but the link there to GitHub returns a 404.

    My father is a journalist and learned to type by himself on typewriters using his index fingers. He writes a lot and he is really fast. I don't have any issues with that.

    You hit the nail on the head here. Saying and doing are two very different things. It's also especially tempting to find an excuse to use some shiny new thing that everyone is alwa…

    I totally agree, but that's not what happens in reality: the average devops knows k8s and will slap it onto anything they see (if only so they can put in on their resume). The aver…

    I don't really have the hardware to try it out, but I'm curious to see how Qwen3.5 stacks up against Gemma 4 in a comparison like this. Especially this model that was fine tuned to…

    Look at how many people only use their 14 inch laptop screen, it's ridiculous and terribly unergonomic.

    Radeon R9700 with 32 GB VRAM is relatively affordable for the amount of RAM and with llama.cpp it runs fast enough for most things. These are workstation cards with blower fans and…

    I like the UK sockets because they have a switch.

    There was never a $100 billion deal. Only a letter of intent which doesn't mean anything contractually.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they slowly start quantizing their models over time. Makes it easier to scale and reduce operational cost. Also makes a new release have more impact as it …

    You are equally understating past performance as you are overstating current performance. One year ago I already ran qwen2.5-coder 7B locally for pretty decent autocomplete. And I …
