I’m a vintage calculator tragic! I love what the C43/47 communities are doing in reviving RPL and RPN for a modern audience. What’s even more amazing, is that the DB48x calculator …

This is really impressive. At these speeds, it’s possible to run agents with multi-tool turns within seconds. Consider it a feature rich, “non-deterministic API” for your platform …

Thanks so much for delivering on this model. It’s great as a draft model for speculative decoding. Keep up the great work!!

Don’t have enough ram for this model, however the smaller 20B model runs nice and fast on my MacBook and is reasonably good for my use-cases. Pity that function calling is still br…

In my testing, tokens per sec is half the speed of the GPU, however the power usage is 10x less — 2 watts ANE vs 20 watts GPU on my M4 Pro.

The key benefit is significant lower power usage. Benchmarked llama3.2-1B on my machines; M1 Max (47t/s, ~1.8 watts), M4 Pro (62t/s, ~2.8 watts). The GPU is twice as fast (even fas…

Love this! The C64 introduced me to the world of computers as a kid. I still have that almost 40 year old machine in my collection, but I’m weary of failure every time I turn it on…

Let’s remind ourselves that MCP was announced to the world in November 2024, only 4 short months ago. The RFC is actively being worked on and evolving.

While I’m a fan, we’re not using MCP for any production workloads for these very reasons. Authentication, session management, etc, should be handled outside of the standard, and ou…

Funny to see you here. I’m from operata.io (also a Melbourne based startup) and would see your website (operatr.io) when I would mis-spell mine!

I had the same frustration and wanted to see "under the hood", so I coded up this little agent tool to play with MCP (sse and stdio), https://github.com/sunpazed/agent-mcp I really…

Great stuff! I used both LiteLLM and Langfuse for a recent project at work — both tools were instrumental in development and deployment. Looking forward to seeing how this collabor…

Even though I have a reasonable intuition and understanding of how a LLM works, I am still awe-struck each and every time I use one. The fact that I have a junior developer at my c…

This is an unfair and snide take on Woz. We are literally standing on the shoulders of giants — Woz happens to be one of them.

I have a few vintage programmable HP calculators that implement CORDIC on their 4-bit CPUs. You can also program them to calculate the Taylor expansion of sin() as another approxim…

I had a .beats watch and found it never really achieved its aim of abstracting timezones — I’d wake up at @895 and head to bed at @580. I’d cross the 1000 boundary each day, which …

Interestingly outside of games and consoles there are “emulators” that run classic HP calculators in the store. They emulate the HP Nut processor which runs small ROM dumps.

The “European hacker-culture demo” from Ezra’s Amiga is likely State Of The Art or 9 Fingers from Spaceballs — both really cool scene demos: https://youtu.be/89wq5EoXy-0 https://yo…

After our fancy fridge died, we purchased a “dumb” Mitsubishi Electric WX Series fridge. No LCD panels, no wifi, no time. It’s tiny at only 470L, however it’s designed for maximum …

This technology has been around for a while on a number of different platforms. Wizzard VHS on the C64 predates this from about 1987-88 https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?…

The Game Boy is by far my most favourite console of all time. I’m currently writing a game for it in ASM (a pinball-dungeon crawler). The hardware is simple to understand, and the …
