    AI is the perfect scapegoat. nobody talks about the price fixing. https://web.archive.org/web/20260701064235/https://www.polyg...

    this use of musl's mallocng actually lead to the discovery of a kernel bug, thanks to its hardening. without it, this might have gone unnoticed for months, silently corrupting memo…

    good article, killed by fancy animations driving all my cores to 100% cpu and fans to full noise-level, like a cryptominer. closed for that reason.

    this article is full of missing text like this: " of Opus at of the cost, the speed, points over oneshot Flash." is it just me or is that page using some brand new js feature or ch…

    yeah, they are as soon as you use a non-mainstream browser. never got past cloudflare with the Pale Moon browser, for instance. seeing a site like reclaimthenet - fighting for a fr…

    these LFM 2.5 models are crazy fast. the (biggest in series) 8B-A1B model produces 35-40 t/s on an aged 6-core CPU using llama.cpp. it's my go-to model for whenever i need fast loc…

    probably more interesting (from 01/2026) https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.10643 "Black-Box On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models". they got a qwen 2.5 14B model trained to GPT5…

    you have better chances opening an issue and explaining your findings. lots of people watch the repo so probably someone will chime in.

    there's also the factor of display technology. when i got a new laptop with LED-driven display, i couldn't even look at it longer than 5 mins without getting watery eyes. switched …

    i tried the Q4_K_M model form unsloth with your Q4_K_M drafter, but the required memory to load everything is 72GB. odd. otoh i could load Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.7-Opus-Reasoning…

    how ironic that a site called "reclaim the net" cowers behind The Great Clownflare Firewall, which blocks any alternative browsers (like palemoon) and anyone using a proxy. so i ca…

    bleh. i hate how everything gets rustified and more and more critical infrastructure is at the whims of the rust corporation. as a reminder, rust is a language without a spec, with…

    maybe the best and simplest solution would be to not remove gtk2 from debian. the last release is stable and there's no technical reason to remove it (as it still works and compile…

    What I'm looking for is conceptually similar to cygwin - where the "kernel", or better worded - the POSIX API - is provided as a library, not as a separate process that communicate…
