It's not speedy. I get 1-3 tokens per second. The machine: CPU: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Processor RAM: 128gb GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16gb (I typo'd the GPU above) (T…

qwen3-coder-next runs fine on my consumer grade nvidia 4070. Performance is not spectacular, but it's only a little bit slower than a properly-fit model.

Can someone explain what the current state of model benchmarking is? If you try to look up what the best locally runnable model is, you get a bunch of random blog posts using idios…

For All Mankind aired an episode today that movingly commemorated the fictional lead character Ed Baldwin's Apollo 10-like in-universe mission on the same day that the real world A…

You're right, it absolutely does make sense. And yet it annoys me anyway. There's been research by linguists (John McWhorter comes to mind) analyzing this phenomenon and it basical…

Your reply did exactly what I complained about: expanding the definition of emulator to cover reimplementing a network protocol. You're not wrong that "server emulator" is a generi…

I'm a fan of UO and I love seeing more projects like this. Nice work! Obligatory nitpicky aside, a time-honored tradition of HN: I've long been irritated by the use of the term "se…

I'm broadly with you on disliking OP's comment because it is needlessly negative, but I don't think it quite rises to the standard of a personal attack. Accusing the author of intr…

The comments section on Ars is particularly depressing. I've been posting there for two decades and watched it slowly devolve from a place where thoughtful discussions happened to …

Suppose you could wave a magic wand and change US immigration law in any way you like. What changes would you make?

Vanilla JS is very powerful and has the features you need to build SPAs without a big framework. Proxies and mutation observers are great for maintaining state, Updating the DOM yo…

Any plans to make an Electron or Tauri version? Also personally I do not prefer to play podcasts with a podcast app. I just want it to download the files to a directory which I the…

Other critiques aside, I wish there was more effort put into developing accessible CAPTCHAs that do not require JavaScript. Whatever its merits or flaws are, this CAPTCHA is yet an…

The TL;DR answer to this question is there is a lot of intellectual junk food out there and our monkey brains are pretty vulnerable to succumbing it just as we crave literal junk f…

Now do Waterbender for Windows apps, Airbender for macOS/iOS apps, and Earthbender for Linux apps.

The residential area being on fire looks significantly uglier to me.

A lot more could be done: https://www.slowboring.com/p/a-better-approach-to-forest-man...

Would be nice if they made transit better first instead of making driving worse first.

What ad platforms do you like and dislike?

A well-functioning organization would not devalue people who are more judicious about their use of time, preferring productivity over unnecessary socializing. But while what you're…

At a certain point it just doesn't make sense to over-optimize for being highly interruptible, when the sacrifice (productivity) isn't worth the gain (satisfy outdated notions of o…

Sites with infinite scroll should not have footers.

I helped him out (in a very small way) on that album. Super fun project to work on. Brendan is very talented.
