    I did a lot of work on intentional programming at Microsoft back in the 90s on C++, and also intentional software later. Our approach was quite a bit different to Kiczales at the t…

    Currently we have zero information what is causing the issue. And all providers have suffered outages or rate limits. Can you post some images of lines getting garbled. That sounds…

    They do though. For some reason whatever path this is going through isn't using it.

    Just as a reminder, Google DeepMind is right here in the UK, and there are hundreds, thousands of top AI researchers that are foundational to everything that the US is doing, as mu…

    That's brilliant. And 10,000 copies! Woot, look at you go! Very well done and I think it looks great. It gives me hope. I'll go make it 10,001.

    I'm working on a durable ECS system, mostly for games, though generally useful. It's to exercise a storage engine I have been building with Git like properties. Should be able to t…

    That's certainly one way to do it, but where would you place them? No, but seriously, you could imagine what we witnessed playing out in a high stakes Tom Clancy or Michael Crichto…

    Half of me wonders if it was all a live simulation/drill, to practice what happens if a much more serious event occurs, and a model needed to be quickly shut down. Under such condi…

    Right, but I am talking about the general government response trajectory. And also, even though Anthropic may not have labs themselves directly, there is a funnel of research that …

    I wonder how this is going to work given half the people working at the AI labs are Chinese foreign nationals, and even more interesting, DeepMind is based in the UK. Plus there is…

    And just imagine the true capability of AI if Fable and Mythos are the models known publicly. We can only imagine what is behind closed doors.

    A Ryzen 9 laptop with 24GB of RAM and a 5070 is £1200. This thing better be dirt cheap. Basically add the price of the RAM, and deduct the price of having to use ARM and being forc…

    Hah, I did this on CB radio here in the UK last year, which was hella fun. I created a dashboard to run the whole thing with hosts/presenters and guests. Different LLM providers wi…

    Show HN: Valkyr LM Inference with Realtime Guarantees

    Valkyr is a fresh take on LM Inference runtimes. It's quite different from llama.cpp, vLLM, or ZINC for example. Written in Zig, and super clean, with no dependencies apart from Vu…

    I used it to add a MIDI driver and support to my OS this afternoon. Worked okay, but I agree it is a bit clunky yet. I think it is pretty good for a preview release. Much better th…

    You aren't the only one. Lol. Those maniacs are out of control. They really need to get rid of human mods on there, it is completely toxic.

    I did this with my experimental site GoodFaith. The idea is everyone posts in good faith, and AI moderates the posts before you send. You can still go ahead if you don't agree with…

    I have been having a crack at it in my spare time. A kind of intentional LISP where functions get turned into WASM in the cloud. The functions are optionally tested using formal ve…
