    I have noticed it to be slightly worse, mostly on "bad" sites. Just using Brave at this point though.

    I presume the providers are the ones giving the info to OpenRouter? I mean, technically it is a mix of fp8 and fp4 (although it is predominately fp4), so I don't think either is in…

    DS4 Pro/Flash were post trained with QAT, so they are already quantized to FP4 for the most part. That's why when downloading the weights, they are much smaller than what their wei…

    Personal anecdote --- Proton Pass very quickly went from worse than Bitwarden to better with more reliable auto-fill.

    These were trained on NVIDIA gpus. It is running inference on Huawei.

    Why would these 3rd-party providers be taking losses? Together, Novita, etc... are not losing money on inference services, they are profiting. You can easily do napkin math with cu…

    Pricing for DeepSeek V4 flash is $0.14 in/$0.28 out across basically every provider or close to it. It seems most providers just follow the model creator and set their prices to ma…

    The vulkan backend for llama.cpp isn't that far behind rocm for pp and tp speeds

    Sodium batteries don't yet have the scale that lifepo4 batteries have. I'd expect we will see them get cheaper.

    HDR playback in chrome on KDE works as expected from what I can tell. For GNOME 49.2 it does not, it doesn't get the luminance that it should at this time. 49.3 may fix this.

    The post links to this: https://github.com/MCRcortex/nvidium nvidium is using GL_NV_mesh_shader which is only available for nVIDIA cards. This mod is the only game/mod I know of th…

    Sorry it doesn't work for you. I don't have that issue. Gnome looks proper in HDR mode for both HDR and SDR content for me.

    GNOME has both color management and color representation protocols implemented. HDR works fine on it

    Their GUI is closed-source. If someone wants an easy to use & easy to setup app, may as well use LMStudio, which doesn't try to pretend to be OSS. Or use ramalama which is basicall…

    I think this is the first blog on JJ that has made me want to use it. The flow seems like it could be quite a bit better than git

    It happens on GNOME at the very least, and I would expect every modern platform is the same way.

    The proposal has been retracted, but I fully expect 32-bit to be removed in time. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f44-change-proposal-d...

    Setting this to none should remove that button. "features": { "edit_prediction_provider": "none" }

    I'm well aware of this issue. I don't expect windows to look the same to each other. I like that the title bar can have other content in it other than just the app name and the clo…

    I've found GNOME developers to be pleasant to work with & I enjoy the experience I have with the DE.

    They refuse to work with the community. There's also the open question of how they are going to monetize, given that they are a VC-backed company. Why shouldn't I go with llama.cpp…

    I always thought the "Your Desktop Trying To Sort Its Shit Out" part was a necessary evil, but other platforms don't suffer from this (at least from what I can tell); the state of …
