You might be taking crazy pills or you've yet to come across an app that's just a webpage inside a web view (a lot of apps these days unfortunately)

If phones didn't have secure boot nowadays inevitably little Johnny would (unknowingly) install a rootkit on his mom's phone for the promise of free vbucks or some see through wall…

As always it depends but at least for me in my anecdotal experience as a Distributed systems engineer (I know, I'm clearly very biased here) - the problem with a single system is t…

A fair callout, though yes it was supposed to be a simplified analogy. I think you got it exactly right though that its temporary in the same that I'd argue the benefits of using A…

You likely don't need to disassemble the inference code, the weights are "just an array of numbers" in MLX format.

It's not open weight, but the point is to be an on device (and thus local, privacy preserving) option. The article mentions that as the caveat > What this means if you just want go…

Not to "glaze" the author as the kids say but this has to be one of the best written musings I've read on HN in a long time. I'm likely bias because it's written in "my style" but …

I liken it to dieting. If your only goal is to be certain weight, then learning how to cook, learning how to portion, learning to make a meal plan, learning about macro nutrients i…

Other than batch jobs, I can't think of a problem that can be solved these days that doesn't also require high availability - at the very least they require a warm standby.

I wonder why they're removing support for encryption when clearly they have the code for it and still supporting the actual FS

Let’s see how long until opus 5 comes out but to me this lends some credence to the rumour that fable/mythos was supposed to be opus 5

I don't understand the privacy concerns the author is trying to highlight. Granted, doing anything "sneaky" will always raise suspicious once caught, but on the other hand, there w…

We can't make single cores any faster, so realistically multicore is the only "solution". That said, most languages have M:N event loops, where M tasks are distributed across N OS …

Could have sworn the author was a nix(os) user already. I know it’s a meme but what all the problems they’re describing literally is solved by nix. The nix sandbox even catches cal…

Almost the exact same thing happened to me when I first tried opus, one prompt no output cost $60 in additional usage

I should blog about it but it's essentially two things 1) "A lot" of nodes, (1 42U rack is one cluster, with battery backup and redundant switching) 2) Hybrid cloud, a few nodes of…

It does, you need to drain the node before removing it otherwise kube assumes the node will come back
