LLMs use random numbers, so a single test won't necessarily match someone else's experience.

The real question is if it's relocatable or not (still works correctly if you add or remove bytes)

CJK characters is the one big weak point of UTF-8. It forces them to be 3 bytes large instead of the local codepage which is 2 bytes per character, or UTF-16 which is also 2 bytes per character.

FF bytes are an easy way to identify an invalid UTF-8 file. This idea doesn't have that property.

There's also "the" vs "the". As in "the boy ate the apple". First 'the' ends with a schwa sound. Second 'the' ends with 'ee' sound.

Even Qwen 3.5 can explain this disclaimer correctly.

"This is not simply a common pattern on bare metal — it was also undefined behaviour in C++." Not just X (em dash) but also Y.

Even with a small context size (4096 at 64KB per token), that's like 256MB for the context. It's more than just the context that's eating up VRAM.

It needs more VRAM than just the model weights. With 6GB of VRAM, I got 44/65 layers loaded into VRAM. Has anyone tested 8GB yet?

I tried it on my 6GB GPU and got 0.67 tokens per second. Need more than 6GB to run it well.

This site is really hostile to people who do any kind of javascript blocking.

It was made during the brief XHTML craze. (And it's also invalid XHTML)

So this is a JPEG decoder that runs on an Apple II? Monochrome only, or can it do color?

I wish the browser would either allow local-only or internet-only, then only make up its mind after the first attempted request. Fetch an image from the internet? No script access for local files. Fetch a JS from elsewhere on the hard dr

Not to be confused with the actual radio station in Arizona called KOOL-FM.

You'd think so, but web browsers are downright lobotomizing the ability for local HTML files to run any meaningful javascript code. Want to run a JS file from the same directory? CORS ERROR!!!! Hence 200MB applications that are compl

Many of the projects here predate 2022, so they wouldn't be "ai-generated" in that sense.

Much like WEBP, JPEG-XL is two different codecs in one. There's VARDCT mode, and Modular Mode. Modular Mode is normally used for lossless, but it can also be used for lossy as well. When you use Lossy Modular Mode, you get different

I looked it up. The one place where UTF-16 validation takes place is when using WideCharToMultiByte to convert to UTF-8 text. Before Vista, that was not validated.

Even just "-" in a filename is problematic, since you can name actual files with "--" at the beginning, and the name could match a switch.

Meanwhile, Windows uses UTF-16 everywhere internally, so "a" and "あ" are both 2 bytes large. You'd still have to exclude surrogate pairs and the Unicode control characters from a filename.

Generated SEO slop is the misuse of AI. Very unlikely to find any guardrails to stop that kind of thing.
