It turns out DeepSeek only made BUY trades (not a single SELL in the history in their live example) -- so basically, buy & hold strategy wins, again.

It was (is?) free with eg. opencode -- so, open-source coding agent + free sota model, it's hard to resist. That said, grok fast is fast, but not that great when compared to the other top tier models.

Before I watched the video, my brain ran ahead and I imagined it would be one of those led "fans", except also rotating around it's base. It might be harder to sync the two rotations, but you'd have much less mass in mot

I mean, we're in the upslope stage of the hype/bubble cycle. Once this pops and 80% of invested people lose their shirts, the long-term adoption cycle will play out much more reasonably, more like OP wishes.

It seems overall a good set of guidelines. I appreciate some of the observations being backed up by data. What I find most interesting is how a hierarchical / recursive context construct begins to emerge. The authors' note of &quo

I think that's for the best. It was human-made slop, now it's automated slop. Can't wait for people to stop paying it attention so that it withers. "It" being the whole attention economy scam.

If I'm reading this correctly, it's limited to browser use, not general computer use (eg, you won't be able to orchestrate KiCAD workflows with it). Not disparaging, just noticing the limitation. I've been playing with t

Shower curtains are very much a North American thing (well, US and Canada at least). It's a cultural difference you're seeing not a weird hotel trend.

MCP came in a bit too early, when the conceptual shift of hadn't fully kicked in yet. I see it as a bit of a Horseless Carriage, and I think Skills came in to counter that. My sense is that this will settle into a sort of self-assembli

I like how the conceptual curve of this new frontier is starting to look more and more like a circle. Yes we have these amazing new tools. But hey, we also have decades of practices, honed by selflessly lazy intelligent people into relative

It's not just the popularity, it's partly the update mechanism and partly the culture. In what sane world would you always pull in all the newest things, regardless or whether you need them or not? This is a default at build time

I wonder if this works better on smaller models than larger ones -- can anyone weigh in? I played a bit with the gpt-oss-20b-heretic off HF, and it's frankly still quite refusey. I've made some changes to the repo (locally) to lev

I'm not sure, I did not run any benchmarks. As a ballpark figure -- with both cards throttled down to 250W, running a Qwen-30B FP8 model (variant depending on task), I get upwards of 60 tok/sec. It feels on par with the premium mo

No NVLink; it took me a long time to compose the exact hardware specs, because I wanted to optimize performance. Both cards are on x8 PCIe direct CPU channels, close to their max throughput anyway. It runs hot with the CPU engaged, but it r
