Kaiser is a vertically integrated healthcare provider. They provide insurance like UHC but they also require you, for the most part, to be treated in Kaiser medical facilities. How…

usually the LLM will match against the style in the context, even if the words ask it to do otherwise. since your skill sounds like an LLM wrote it, I would be surprised if it didn…

i admit, you got me chuckling with that one.

interesting. that might be a fun intro project to MoltenVK. I hadn't dug into what was missing for Doom. I thought maybe the issue was that the intro/menu always ran in opengl mode…

custom zoom75

it is a separate stack, but that probably doesn't matter much. a user process (in my case, qemu) can communicate with a driverkit driver. the user process can also map memory throu…

i don't know for sure, but i suspect what makes the tinygrad stuff slow isn't the macos host driver itself. i think they're doing something very similar to what i'm doing, which is…

thanks! there also appears to be a generic pci passthrough path. we were discussing it on the qemu-devel list: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/C35B5E97-73F2-4A60-951B-B...

in fairness to the LLM critics, every time i ran into a minor speed bump in this project, it told me it probably just wasn't possible to get it to work well. the LLM did pretty act…

the exact numbers in the graph are 17019ms vs 142ms. so you're right, it's not 120x, it's 119.85x.

two semi interesting things to note around this: 1. Virtualization.framework seems to support some form of GPU passthrough from the host (granted, not eGPU - it's for the integrate…

I very recently ran the numbers on these GPUs for an upcoming blog post. The token generation performance is bad, but the prefill performance is _really_ bad. For a Qwen 3.6 35B / …

we can only hope

a great post that definitely inspired this one. i link to it in the first paragraph of my blog post.

i thought my post was already too long to include this, but to your point, you can run AI inference in this setup and the performance can be pretty good.

you're lucky you didn't get stuck with an S3 ViRGE.

this is mostly right, but it's not true that you can just sign up at any time. there's an open enrollment period for the aca marketplace and if you miss it, you won't have the oppo…

runway construction is only part of the story, i think. in May, there was a number of complete ATC meltdowns causing ground stops. if you look at the stats, the majority of delays …

i frequently fly in and out of newark

may is the latest data currently available.

In May, Newark airport flights were on time 49% of the time: https://www.transtats.bts.gov/ot_delay/OT_DelayCause1.asp?20... Maybe in aggregate flights have fewer delays but every …

i have no doubt that other countries have some problems in their healthcare systems too, but i think you are downplaying a few key points: 1) united healthcare made 90 billion doll…
