Basics yes, details no, and if you are deep in a mathematical proof the details matter. For example, I seriously doubt you will find an average 7th grader (or even a professional e…

I don't think there is anything in this article that actually demands bra-ket notation (a state in some Hilbert space), that couldn't be more clearly written with standard notation…

You know its a doozy when the author writes a disclaimer at the top saying that bra-ket notation was chosen in order to make the algorithm and data structures clearer.

I'm not sure that is the case in this instance. Certainly general writing is a lot more variable and harder to classify, and on the other extreme certain one-line code changes don'…

Was this done by manually reviewing commit messages? I think it would be interesting/useful to have a tool that could use some basic heuristics about LLM generated code to detect c…

If you're in MA you better thing twice before walking around with your zoobow, klackers or kung-fu sticks! https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleI/Cha...

Good thing I just maxed out my weekly usage limit at 5:10pm on my cheapo $20/mo plan.

Very nice to see this older hardware getting repurposed. I have been running 2x Tesla V100s in a dual-core supermicro X10DRU-i server. With qwen3.6-27B-mtp I get about 35-40tok/s f…

Hardly seems worth the effort, perhaps things have improved since 2019. It would be interesting to see an updated benchmark, but if your going to end up with code that looks like C…

I have a old supermicro X10DRU-i server with two Tesla V100's (48 GB VRAM) and 128GB RAM and have been running qwen3.6-27B with a lot of success. I would say it's performance on my…

I know. I'm struggling to understand how this is a github repo/HN article. I've been using claude-code with a llama.cpp server and a dummy API key, and all that is required is to d…

We might already be there. I've been running Qwen-3.6-27B with 8-bit quantization locally with llama.cpp (~100k context window), and to be honest for my use case, 40-50% of the tim…

Ah yes, how apropos, a "modest proposal" for a new AI era.

> At the same time, new versions of FFmpeg brought support for new codecs and file formats, and reliability improvements, all of which allowed us to ingest more diverse video conte…

Neat, but also hilarious! Searching for "mug" gives results where the first item listed (ABC-00008297) is a mug model with a hole not only in the top to pour in your drink, but als…

No idea, you can still get one-off boards here and there, but buying anything in quantity has been tricky. I can only surmise supermicro's resources are largely tied up with AI dat…

Nice write up! For this sort of thing, I have leaned towards AMD Epyc, Intel e810, and DPDK for the software stack. Unfortunately, lately the supermicro H13SSL line of mobo's appea…

My comment was directed at your statement "that at no point in history was the US dollar 100% backed by gold (or silver, originally). Never." which is entirely false. The US dollar…

The lack of an easy method to automatically pull in and manage dependencies in C/C++ is starting to look a lot more like a feature than a bug now.

Wrong. As per the Coinage Act of 1792, the US dollar was to be equal to exactly 371.25 grains of fine silver.

Titan is completely dead, you can bet on that.

Yeah, I was equally surprised. I am using a patched version of ollama to run the models: https://github.com/austinksmith/ollama37 which has a trivial change to allow it to run with…

I have a old system with 3 ancient Tesla K40s which can easily run inference on ~30B parameter models (e.g. qwen3-coder:30b). I mostly use it as a compute box for other workloads, …

These days you don't have to worry about endianness much (unless you dealing with raw network packets). However, you do need to worry about byte-padding. Different compilers/system…
