    I've been working on porting Rock Band 3 and Dance Central 3 to PC via AI assisted decompilation. The repos are on my GitHub ( https://github.com/freeqaz/rb3 and https://github.com…

    I have struggled to get this project working on non-Windows. It just hangs and crashes no matter what I do or try on Linux/Mac. It's a very Windows-oriented project that's slowly l…

    This is exactly what happened with Log4Shell. Day -X + 1: Engineer at Alibaba finds the vuln and tells Apache. Patch is pushed to git while new release is coordinated. Day -X: A bl…

    I have been wondering if 1 Million token context contributes here also. Compaction is much rarer now. How does that influence model performance? For some tasks I do, I feel like pe…

    Also a good fallback if your phone screen cracked 2 hours before. But I can imagine part of the challenge they are facing here are scalpers. TicketMaster app 'rotates' the actual t…

    128gb is the max RAM that the current Strix Halo supports with ~250GB/s of bandwidth. The Mac Studio is 256GB max and ~900GB/s of memory bandwidth. They are in different categories…

    You can call Cerebras APIs via OpenRouter if you specify them as the provider in your request fyi. It's a bit pricier but it exists!

    If it maintains the same price (with Anthropic tends to do or undercuts themselves) then this would be 1/3rd of the price of Opus. Edit: Yep, same price. "Pricing remains the same …

    I would honestly guess that this is just a small amount of tweaking on top of the Sonnet 4.x models. It seems like providers are rarely training new 'base' models anymore. We're at…

    Does anybody know when Codex is going to roll out subagent support? That has been an absolute game changer in Claude Code. It lets me run with a single session for so much longer a…

    I've been working on decompiling Dance Central 3 with AI and it's been insane. It's an Xbox 360 game that leverages the Kinect to track your body as your dance. It's a great game, …

    I assume that the author here is testing against one of these boxes, right? https://marketplace.nvidia.com/en-us/enterprise/personal-ai-... Are these considered a good deal at $3-4…

    I spent way too many hours writing this all today, but I wanted to get this pushed out for others to learn from. There is a ton of detail in this notes file[0] that Claude Code hel…

    Unfortunately not. It's still very broken, and next year it will be worse for a ton of people. I got AI to write a short answer for you: > Short version: Obamacare never turned int…

    These are the best additional bits of information that I can find to share with you if you're curious to read more about Snap and what they did. (They were spending $400m per year …

    There is also a tradeoff between different vocabulary sizes (how many entries exist in the token -> embedding lookup table) that inform the current shape of tokenizers and LLMs. (B…

    Since I'm 5+ years out from my NDA around this stuff, I'll give some high level details here. Snapchat heavily used Google AppEngine to scale. This was basically a magical Java run…
