They Toyota hybrids are still gasoline, what's the objection to the eCVT? So long as we're still using combustion engines it seems like the best design anyone's come up with.

They are useful for packaging all the related bits together. Some instructions on the line to add to the main prompt, detailed policy doc that spells out details, troubleshooting d…

I like it based on initial testing today. I already use my own local UI for managing stacked PRs so I can see the dependencies as a tree view and the review + CI status for each, i…

I do essentially all of my work with auto compact set to 250k and it's fine. It may be due to the way the project tooling is set up and the use of sub agents?

What models have you found to work for which tasks? I find the local models very useful but not in a way that's replaced cloud models (yet, I remain hopeful).

I don't know the details but I would imagine that the comparison would shift quite a lot over those years due to the rollout of SIMD features on both sides along with the other mic…

Pentium 133MHz was coincidentally the fastest machine I had at the time but also the minimum spec labeled on the box. (my laptop had a Chips & Technologies 65550, so no 3D help the…

Yes, but Half-Life was designed to be somewhat playable with software rendering even on a 133MHz Pentium and that would have been the better rendering path on the earliest iMacs. I…

At the time there was also a major push to bring desktop computing and the web to the general population, remember this was a time when cutting costs enough to market a $1000 PC ($…

For reference this is roughly period correct for the early iMac models (G3 and DV) that came out in 1998 and 1999, though MacOS 9 didn't ship until later. Impressive porting work.

This is SSH into a remote Linux VM that has the GPU attached.

They do reset weekly quotas periodically, I'm not sure how they determine when.

The whole point the guy is making in the transcript is that they're taking a different strategy from the US labs, one where they focus on smaller models and cost control, and maint…

It's probably getting less discussion because there's less user energy, the existing VM / database product has clearly not been a top focus for a while and in any case that busines…

Maybe enabling MTP causes some weights to be displaced to host memory? MTP itself doesn't do anything during prefill so that should be exactly unchanged, decode will vary depending…

MTP has no effect on prompt processing.

Yes that's what I've read. As far as I know the approach should transfer well to hybrid model architectures like modern Qwen and sizes like 27B by using multiple chips. LoRA-steere…

No the weights are in the metal layers, they cannot be updated.

The library does respect the client-side reduce motion setting (by disabling all animated effects).

For our purposes it has the mining/crafting/construction bits the kids care about so in that dimension there's no difference. From my perspective it's been simple to operate, and h…

Luanti with Mineclonia plug-in works well if you are willing to move entirely to Mac/Windows/Linux clients. The whole stack is open source so it's easier to make changes etc if you…

The VAIO P and some Panasonic rugged handhelds have those chips, both interesting machines, I think it would be possible to write a modern Mesa driver for those but it would be a l…

I auto compact around 200k tokens both due to this and because the cached read cost really escalates when sessions have more tokens than that (too short and you pay a lot in per-co…

I don't know about the overall breakdown but in my case longer runs are prototyping, bug hunting, reverse engineering, etc. For example Gnome Remote Desktop didn't work in my confi…
