Looks like a couple of people are already on it: https://github.com/antirez/ds4/issues/635

https://github.com/antirez/ds4 coming out at the same time I started a new job and they gave me an m5 max a few months ago was the lightbulb moment for me.

M5 max is 614 GB/s in the 40gpu variant

I think `smolvm` may fit the bill? I've been using it to run pi.dev in a sandbox. https://smolmachines.com/

Buf.build, never again. Had a proto evangelist get us ingratiated into their system a few years ago and then they introduced a bunch of rent seeking behavior just to be able to to …

273 GB/s. Same ballpark as M4 Pro and Strix Halo.

The RTX 5000 Pro 72GB seems like kind of a sleeper to me, and sips https://www.microcenter.com/product/709071/pny-nvidia-rtx-pr...

Nope, have both these machines, can confirm the M5 max blows the M4 mini away. It does get hot, but I use it mostly with an external monitor and keyboard. Conceptually I like the h…

I don’t think there’s a GPU component so it’s probably a much lower power profile. Also, per this cloudflare write up the Turin gen of the AMD Epycs is very efficient: https://blog…

I'm using the DS4 flash IQ2 2-bit quant, per Salvadore's recommendations for my hardware in the repo. I haven't messed with the cloud hosted variant. The only other paid API I have…

I'm on the verge of cancelling my anthropic $20 plan since it's come out. On an M5 Max 128GB, hooked up to the pi.dev harness, I get in the neighborhood of 400-450tps prefill and 3…

Launching a new product in SvelteKit! Coming from Vue and it has been mostly great.

It's already greatly improved over previous generations due to M5s having tensor cores (higher compute capacity for matmul operations, the bottleneck for prefill).

Sounds like it means you don't have to wire up the RPC server yourself anymore? Just build a docker container that invokes this quack server command, expose it over the network and…

uh, doing analytics type queries on large datasets that postgres would choke on, as an RPC? I'm using it (ducklake specifically) to build a lakehouse RPC server that can scale hori…

Dang, fun memories of when I was first getting in to geo/data stuff and doing a lot of web mapping stuff with D3, Leaflet and friends. Seems as tools like Vector tiles/PMTiles have…

the Stepchange show went fairly deep on this topic in their first episode (listened to it recently). https://www.stepchange.show/coal-part-i

Yeah, but then I'm heavily coupled to their proprietary infrastructure. Maybe a good thing for them, but a nonstarter for thinking about building a real business on, for me and man…
