Totally. Also to add to that. I think (like any factory) you need to build in systems to allow you to have observe and service the machines make process changes as needed. You're t…

The dude is selling an IDE. Also it's missing the point of a software factory concept A software factory will not work infinitely forever for everything. A software factory isn't a…

I'm super happy with the performance, I generally run with 2 parallel slots so I only get about 128K context window. My experience with all llms is that they get more forgetful if …

I forked it to also add rotorquant. This is a specific optimization that uses clifford rotors instead of static compile time random purmutation to store the activations. Reduces sp…

I got qwen3.6:27B running on my 4090 (24GB) with ~128K context leveraging some of the recent turboquant/rotorquant memory optimizations for activations. Highly suggest going up to …

Not to defend Elon, but he spent 40B on a company that dropped in value between the day of his bid and the day of closing by almost half (if i remember correctly). He tried to back…

Fair point and I don't disagree. The more meta point I would make is that airlines are still fairly capex heavy (even if there is no point-to-point infrastructure). Each incrementa…

Power companies are the classic example. If power companies were forced to compete, their costs + competition tend to drive them out of business. As a result most power companies a…
