    It's far more likely basic consumer devices will advance such that much larger models efficiently run than finding novel ways to compress all of human experience to fit on today's …

    I don't manually retype the code from pull requests of other engineers. It's important to retain the what why and how as a team to the degree that development can be efficient, ext…

    I feel like this is supposed to be a "gotcha", but this is VR, not AR. So you can just, move up.

    Based on the strange emoji use in place of some buttons, I'm guessing this is vibe coded- and a lot of this is really nice looking front end - great color, topography, border style…

    You weren't kidding. That's embarrassing. "Use a black background and this hideously wide font!"

    LLMs from 1+ years ago approached solving every problem by adding additional code and not cleaning up or adding strange unnecessary backwards compatibility (and often still do this…

    Not trying to be an apologist for anyone, but if the epic store could charge 30%, it's hard for me to believe they wouldn't.

    I saw backyard baseball on steam the other day and was blown away by the $40 price tag. I expected $10 maybe $20. I think $40 is too far outside of impulse / nostalgia purchase.

    Weird amount of negativity here. Some person recognized a problem they wanted solved and put a bunch of effort into creating a unique solution. I love this stuff. This post is perf…

    No there was the planar unit distance problem (Erdős problem 90)

    3D Gaussian splats are still images of 3D space / photogrammetry So I'm guessing it came from representing the additional dimension

    It says I’ve done 8 PRs- I’ve done a few thousand at least lol - you could get a ballpark by looking at “Pull Shark” count. Commits also look like it’s this year only?

    For future reference, you need to put newlines between lines to preserve formatting.

    (see above reply to myself) I misattributed the gain from dflash - it was dflash-mlx library + mlx model, not dflash itself giving me the speedup.

    Comment #48754558

    I usually get mlx versions of models and didn't realize I was using non-mlx - misattributing the performance boost to speculative decoding. With dflash-mlx library, with dflash dis…

    Comment #48728461

    I'm surprised no one has else has mentioned - low power mode. With no speculative decoding, using high power mode, I get 80 t/s on 35B A3B - and it gets hot and spins up. On low po…

    Try gpt-5.3-codex-spark - it's 1000 TPS and from my experience more capable than 5.4 mini. If you have a subscription it's a different pool of usage.
