    No argument that it works, it definitely does. I just think the LLMs have a hard time with tweaks/modifications of any kind, more so than what I see even in a custom GUI toolkit I’…

    Logically this makes sense, but in practice it doesn’t, at least in my experience with SwiftUI. The LLM isn’t any better about generating/understanding it. While the DSL is more fo…

    I tried CachyOS and Niri this weekend, and was pleasantly surprised hibernate/suspend actually worked with no customizations on my Desktop. I’ve tried like 5 other distros and usua…

    Not sure why you're getting downvoted, or why the narrative here is all about this being payback for the Department of Whatever-the-fuck thing. Dario has been spouting how his mode…

    That seems way off to me. I skimmed the article, but couldn’t spot any details on their estimates. They mention 70b+ params as being large in several places. But we’ve had several …

    If Google is actually getting cheaper inference than everyone else with their TPUs, this smells like trouble to me. Maybe serving LLMs at a profit is proving difficult. Or maybe th…

    The “Apps” app is so bad on macOS too (seems built off of Spotlight?). I’ll type the exact app name and it’ll suggest the one on my phone, an installer in Downloads, etc.. No one d…

    I’ve been vibe-ish coding a GUI Toolkit in Zig w/ SDL3 and Vulkan for a few months now. It has lots of features, but I posted a demo of some fun with buttons here: https://x.com/ru…

    This is fun, FYI you don’t have to sign in/up with a Google account. I hesitated downloading it for that reason.
