    This is completely untrue and was based on some weird TikTok rumors.

    But won't setting it to accept 100% of the proposed tokens will skip the verification?

    Doesn't accepting 100% of the MTP draft tokens mean you should just be using the smaller model? Usually the acceptance rate in Qwen36 at least is around 60-70% and the "wrong" toke…

    You showed this setup to a business insurance underwriter and they gave you a policy? Can I ask how much the premium is? Or is this just theft insurance?

    I'm running the unquantized base model on 2xA6000s (Ampere gen, 48GB each). Runs at about 25 tokens/second.

    I have been kicking the tires for about 40 minutes since it downloaded and it seems excellent at general tasks, image comprehension and coding/tool-calling (using VLLM to serve it)…

    I bought Battlefield 2 and it's DLC and one of the earlier Dirt games on EA Origin and it was an absolute nightmare. My games and the DLC would constantly not be authed in my accou…

    In my experience Qwen3.5/Qwen3-Coder-Next perform best in their own harness, Qwen-Code. You can also crib the system prompt and tool definitions from there though. Though caveat, d…

    Could not agree more, it's wild my AppleTVs now ask for which profile is using it but the iPad still hasn't gotten this.

    I mean no shit though? People calmly said this in Trump's first term where he (unsuccessfully) first tried to go tariff crazy. What does it add though? Nobody is freaking out sayin…

    I run the larger version of it on a Threadripper with 512GB RAM and a 32GB GPU for the non-expert layers and context, using llama.cpp. Performs great, however god forbid you try to…

    I sometimes still code with a local LLM but can't imagine doing it on a laptop. I have a server that has GPUs and runs llama.cpp behind llama-swap (letting me switch between models…

    It's not practical when Trump sees a TV ad that enrages him and then cancels all negotiations, how are Canadian leaders supposed to proceed? There's no good faith whatsoever from h…

    Exactly right. There are trade deals forming between countries that in unprecedented ways to avoid dealing with the constantly changing tariffs while one country says they'll take …

    In a sense you can think of it that way, as a Canadian we counter-tariff the US and that can be considered punishing us; however the US is only one country and it encouraged more f…

    On iOS you can deny an app cellular data access which accomplishes this, as long as you don't launch it on Wifi. But yes I too wish I could deny apps internet access completely.

    Syncthing-fork is in the Play Store and works fine for me.

    The commands aren't the special sauce, it's the analytical capabilities of the LLM to view the outputs of all those commands and correlate data or whatever. You could accomplish th…

    Electronic warfare is pretty effective against drones that are using radio waves for their communication. Earlier in the war you could see a lot of drone footage that would become …

    I use o3 with architect mode for larger changes and refactors in a project. It seems very suited to the two-pass system where the (more expensive) "reasoning" LLM tells the seconda…

    Aider has a configuration for each supported LLM to define the best diff format for each; so for certain ones they're best at diff format, Gemini is best at a fenced-diff format, Q…

    Yeah I should have clarified that, there are more advanced IDE integrations now but I meant Cursor, Copilot etc.

    Using Aider with o3 in architect mode, with Gemini or with Sonnet (in that order) is light years ahead of any of the IDE AI integrations. I highly recommend anyone who's interested…

    The new AMD chips in the Framework laptops would be a good candidate and I think you can get 96GB RAM in them. Also if the LLM software is idle (like llama.cpp or ollama) there is …
