This is great - and another example of how much more efficient CLI tool use ends up being in actual day-to-day use. Claude Code and Hermes took it in and it runs great in my initia…

Another endorsement - I used Kokoro pretty extensively with an app I was developing over the last year and it's been excellent, both on- and off- GPU. Even with Elevenlabs (long ti…

It's worth being careful here: a lot of the affordable enterprise-class routers from 10+ years ago aren't as fast as cheap consumer hardware - like the OP or just a decent mini PC.…

It depends on what's meant by "fully utilized" but fp8 quants of Nemotron 3 Super, the latest Minimax, Cohere A+ and the Mistral small and (especially) medium variants all sit in t…

There are also nvfp4 quants of Qwen 3.6 27/35 floating around. I've done benchmarks of both and the quality difference vs fp8/bf16 was barely notable. Honestly the nvfp4 capability…

There is at least one MCP server in Obsidian's community plugins, plus the REST API access capability which is already addressed in several open source MCP plugins. I use Obsidian …

It *is* hard to make memory, especially HBM (...which is what the AI market wants, and is what the manufacturers are focusing on) and bringing on new capacity takes years . There's…

It’s usually open loop - closed loop, so closed loop goes through CRACs or liquid cooled equipment manifolds. That heated water circulates through an heat exchanger on the roof tha…

In terms of platform variants the Taurus outsold the Crown Vic by a fair amount. The latter was certainly hugely popular as fleet vehicles, but the Taurus was Ford's best selling s…

Genuine curiosity: Is there any speculation as to what these tools are keying on to reject those particular applicants? It seems like it just being the applicant's name is too easy…

The commentary on hand-created signage was especially fascinating. The observations about the use of computers "enshitifying" design sort of eerily echo a lot of the commentary abo…

I have the $100 plan and had almost never run out of credits until I started using the ultracode / workstreams feature w/Opus 4.8..at which point I managed to blow the full 6 hour …

Maybe it’s naive, but there’s something incredibly hopeful that there are folks not only protesting this kind of corruption, but also that there’s a government actually responding …

I don’t think the analogy between rock star developers and LLMs bears out here. Like any other tool, AI abides by the basic reality of garbage in/garbage out. If you don’t make sur…

I always knew the "point" was there, but never saw it actually used in my travels (..which finished in '90 or '91). I seem to recall the node lists at some point didn't have decima…

They implied it might have options with < 128G of memory. That could significantly reduce the price of components. There's also the very real possibility that the whole venture is …

There are still a *lot* of sharp edges with the Spark: compatibility, overstated performance, power consumption/heat generation, etc. It's one thing to have that situation on a box…

For some value of "well supported" - NVIDIA's own internal catalogs (libraries, NIMs, etc) are still spotty on aarch64 coverage.

Thus does kind of beg the question: If developers are being laid off because AI is better/faster/cheaper or makes all their people 10x or whatever fig leaf, what happens if the req…

The $48K also isn't fully sunk cost - there's a non-trivial residual value for those GPUs at the moment and likely for a few years yet. The server has a depreciation curve that's p…

Cultures of patronage are fertile ground for mediocrity.. very much a running theme in the history of human organization.

It seems like LLMs are actually pretty good at the sorts of things needed to manage a high-volume mailing list (summarizing, looking for dupes, sentiment, flagging things, etc), ev…

Cisco's fiscal year closes at the end of July, which makes this time of year the season for reorgs, LRs (as they're colloquially known) and the usual maneuvering that leads up to e…
