I really like solutions in this space, and this is quite nice. Seeing people try create solutions like this really tickles my brain a lot. Even if I think more into it and conclude it has catastrophic issues, I still really get a weird kick

Fedify is really fun to mess around with. The fedify tutorial was also really great for learning about developing with Activity pub and the fediverse in general. I don't use Discord generally, but the fedify Discord is particularly use

I think the appeal and use case for Graphene and similar OS for most users is the Google/privacy/ownership type argument. I do understand your point that people at risk of state level attacks might get a false surface level appear

Personally I run an ollama server. Models load pretty quickly. There's a distinction between tokens per second and time to first token. Delays come for me when I have to load a new model, or if I'm swapping in a particularly large

I always felt the idea of trying to align your code, policy, software and infrastructure so it's easy to do compliance is the bread and butter of devops and devsecops in a regulated environment, Is this an article by someone who's

I really dislike it too. I think it might be adults ignoring established grammar rules to make a statement about how they identify a part of a group of AI evangelists. Kind of like how teenagers do nonsensical things like where thick heavy

I run Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct gguf on a VM with 13gb RAM and a 6gb RTX 2060 mobile GPU passed through to it with ik_llama, and I would describe it as usable, at least. It's running on an old (5 years, maybe more) Razer Blade lapto

This is interesting! Do you have any more info? I just discovered sunshine/moonlight work surprisingly well on Quest 3 for remote desktop to linux, I'd not really considered Termux X11 natively though.

I'm not saying companies can't do fine in many respects after experiencing hypergrowth, but like you said, that's after hypergrowth - the hypergrowth isn't sustainable. And I disagree: outages are a fairly literal exampl

I use the built in derp server. I have run a standalone derp server hackily deployed for a month, it worked fine but didn't provide much benefit over the built in one. It was basically just a go package. If you're familiar with ru

No issues using headscale and selfhosted derp servers. Tailscale is great technology and protocol and facilitates decentralisation. Hypergrowth is a synonym for unsustainable growth. The headline here is business breaks tech, again.

Cyclical speculative investment. All investment is kind of speculative: you're betting on the future, but typically for a reason. A bubble, IMO, is what emerges when lots of people bet on the future purely because they see others betti

You see that you're assessing AI from the depth of the AI bubble and coming to the same conclusion about AI as people who assess crypto from the depths of a crypto bubble came to, right? The dotcom bubble was due to all the useless, sp

I was a crypto researcher - I watched all the people like you run to the bubble telling themselves they're building the next b2b crypto SaaS:)

I agree! AI, crypto and dotcom were all hugely valuable and world changing. It's a shame they were all afflicted with hypes and bubbles along the way.

You're right. AI will offer us a utopia when we've finished rebuilding all of our electricity infrastructure and finally got enough AI datacenters, and stopped muggle humans buying memory and GPUs because AI needs them more. I&#x2

I never said it was special. I was trying to correct the record that a lot of people will be using models of this size locally because of the local LLM community. The most commonly downloaded local LLMs are normally <30b (e.g. https:&#x

I think that's a little extreme to say it's one of the worst. It's definitely a different style to a lot of blogs, but I like how much information is spread across the site. It's satisfying to explore on a desktop.
