    What a world we live in where 200mb RAM usage for a text editor is considered "lightweight".

    You have used chatgpt presumably. Based on your interactions with it, do you seriously think it should be allowed to shoot a gun without any human oversight?

    unfortunately running anything locally for serious personal use makes no financial sense at all right now. 4x rtx 6000 pro is probably the minimum you need to have something reason…

    AFAIK the signal backups use symmetric encryption with user generated and controlled keys and anonymous credentials ( https://signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups/ ). Do you …

    Stagex is a remarkable achievement and one of the most exciting projects that I have encountered this year. I plan on migrating a few high value build pipelines in the near future.…

    Not sure why self proclaimed "hackers" seem to be in love with walled gardens and corporate control :)

    If you're not making changes to the bootloader it's essentially impossible to brick nixos: updates are fully atomic and every change can be rolled back by booting into an old gener…

    maybe something to do with Haskell being a beautiful and foundational language that has been a major driver of progress in programming language design for the last two decades?

    Having seen LLMs so many times produce coherent, sensible and valid chains of reasoning to diagnose issues and bugs in software I work on, I am at this point in absolutely no doubt…

    I do not think this is niche in the slightest. I would very happily take a 2-4x slowdown for almost all of the web facing C software I run if I get guaranteed memory safety. I will…

    I grep through the store pretty regularly looking for names. The tone of the original comment is annoying but the suggestion is imo quite a good one.

    Zig is orders of magnitude more pleasant and enjoyable to use than Rust.

    128 is still not 300. Something like 4x 6000 blackwell is the minimum to run any model that is going to feel anything like claude locally. To my deep disappointment the economics a…

    which 671b quants can fit into 96GB VRAM? Everything I’m aware of needs hundreds at least (e.g. https://apxml.com/models/deepseek-r1-671b ).

    Don’t underestimate the cost of getting locked into a tool that is 100% guaranteed to rugpull you on both cost and privacy.

    compiling untrusted code via the wasm builds of solc is quite reasonable and is done at scale by several providers (e.g. etherscan, remix).
