Sol 5.6 loves seams. I never heard the word mentioned until Sol 5.6 before that it never came up. Now everything is the seam, lol. At least it doesn't bear any load.

So, I grew up in the former Soviet Union. Starting with ninth grade entrance entrance and exit exams were like that. I remember I had to take university physics exam just to be abl…

Yeah, I told it to save in its memory that I don't want to have any more word salad!

Says who? I kind of like it.

It's at least 2.5x that speed for dual sparks and prefill is good as well. Basically going on vibes it is faster seeming than what one gets by default with openAI or Anthropic.

My takeaway from this was that Claude was being completely useless as a helper Thanks to all the safety safeguards and that nonsense.

Yeah, but maybe Kimi doesn't pretend to know better than I do. Like, I just had a task today where I had a silly form where I wanted to copy in a signature from one document to ano…

One thing I find that's missing a lot or at least I haven't come across other than commercial offerings like AquaVoice is a decent injected technical vocabulary so that the initial…

now it's back? i saw it was gone from the usage but then reappeared about 10 min later, lol

A lot of stuff that has to do with VLLM and troubleshooting and compiling and building VLLM, compiling kernel, or just dealing with setting up eval for local models, it punts to Op…

I don't know what your evals are, but you need to reevaluate them.

It had a tough time updating today. Or this evening. It just wouldn't update. It actually just freaking disappeared from my MacBook. It took some googling and downloading and multi…

Fable was refusing to patch vllm for me when trying to get mtp to work on r9700 gpus. Kept on bumping down to opus. Tried to really sanitize my prompts and everything but it seemed…

Had it happen to my PBS backups running on ZFS without ECC just the other day. Turned out to be heat related, memory was fine but during long backups heat was causing bit flips.

That's what I did after my 15 year old Synology DS1010+ built in USB DOM failed. Put a network booted debian on it via netboot.xyz with zfs and now i get to reuse those 15 year old…

https://github.com/SeraphimSerapis/tool-eval-bench Trying to run this stuff really triggers it. Freaking frustrating. I have it set up some local inference and then I'm struggling …

Making hay was not an easy task. A lot of work and stress as well.

The stickers are because somebody got hurt. That's the only reason why they're there. And hopefully it helps somebody. It doesn't hurt anything to have the sticker, lol.

Scene is in Boston Public Garden

Which country do you live in that you have such a positive outlook about redistribution of wealth?

better prompt processing like 1.5x+ and more kv but tg most likely lower like 0.8x or so but I am just going by memory for Qwen3.5 without mtp.

Because it's a tax I think on second properties.

You forgot to include the actual living costs if you invest. You're not gonna be able to contribute $2,500 a month. You would be able to contribute not that much , around here rent…

Exactly. Here I am sitting talking to my freaking computer, arguing with it, whatnot. And people just dismiss it as if it's not a science fiction. We were not there two, three year…

Not all workers will fare equally. As an illustration, Reuters cited a union source estimating that someone in the memory chip unit earning an 80-million-won base salary could take…
