    Wouldn't be a very good look if they did anything else.

    The Houthis have been doing a lot of shipping lane disruption, recently. They have sunk several ships. Iran's Islamic regime has provided material and monetary support to the Houth…

    This applies to any US company. Have we forgotten everything we learned in 2012? If your data is shared with Google, Anthropic, Meta, Amazon, or any of their US competitors, it is …

    Sure, but aren't most people running the *Claw projects using cloud inference?

    Since this has garnered some interest, I definitely will sit down and write a blog post when I have a little bit of time. I have upgraded the setup since that post a few days ago, …

    That's a fair point, and I had the exact same thought while building this. I had previously resisted the urge of integrating Claude Code with e.g. ntfy.sh for this reason. But in p…

    Looks like a nice library, thanks for sharing! I know Telegram bots are very popular and that the API story is quite nice, but I have tended to avoid Telegram. My preference would …

    I'm in the process of migrating from my first POC's disgusting mess of vibe-coded Python to a cleaner (and shareable) Rust architecture. It's going well but I will wait for it to s…

    Watching the OpenClaw/Molbot craze has been entertaining. I wouldn't use it - too much code, changing too quickly, with too little regard for security - but it has inspired me. I o…

    Would you share some additional details? CPU, amount of unified memory / VRAM? Tok/s with those?

    Based on what works elsewhere in deep learning, I see no reason why you couldn't train once with a randomized number of experts, then set that number during inference based on your…

    > I.e you can automate things like checking for memory freeing. Or, if you don't need to use C (e.g. for FFI or platform compatibility reasons), you could use a language with a com…

    Yes, this is part of the French prépa/CPGE system, which is the "standard" way for students to enter elite engineering schools. You do your first 2-3 years of undergrad in prépa. S…

    I encourage you to look up the "bro" in question. He's a Fields medalist.

    That is also the case on Wikipedia, though. And it's not always trivial to rectify.

    I've seen this approach applied to spectrograms. Convolutions do make enough sense there.

    JAX code usually ends up being way faster than equivalent torch code for me, even with torch.compile. There are common performance killers, though. Notably, using Python control fl…
