    Claude Opus 4.5 has been a big step up for me personally, and I used to think Sonnet 3.5 was good. It is an amazing deal at $20. Just yesterday, it helped me parse out and understa…

    I have personally experienced this. I went to a concert in NY while living in the midwest. I was a pretty broke grad-student at the time and hence opted not to get a hotel for the …

    I bought a Framework 13 when it first came out, with exactly this hope. I gave up after about one month of madness and ordered an M1 Max Macbook Pro. I also installed Windows on th…

    Magnetic field drops off by an inverse-cubed law (as opposed to inverse-squared for RF). So it would be a lot more impractical to cover large volumes.

    Wow! I used to fly out of the Ames airport and earned my PPL there. It turns out that it wasn't always at the same spot. I looked it up and apparently my house was on land that use…

    Based on the paper, results, video etc., this is either legit, or a massive fraud. I guess we will know soon enough. If it is real though, this is a massive step up for humanity. T…

    It uses "ggml", a tensor library written in C to do the math. The models weights are converted to a format that can be used by GGML. The higher level structure of the model is crea…
