This is cool (and congrats on writing your first Rust lib!), but Metal/Cuda support is a must for serious local usage.

Hot take: stop making models. Make products, instead. I think AI is a pretty revolutionary technology, but this trend of "oh well, I guess let's make a chatbot" or "oh well, let's make the 18th langchain" is s

It's so crazy to me how 2008 was barely a decade-and-a-half ago, and people already forgot how much of a coordinated, organized, and pseudo-fraudulent shitshow the CDO merry-go-round was. Loans were given out, rating agencies were bein

I want to build this locally, I think it would be an absolute killer product. Could also consider doing an internet "deep dive" where the agent would browse for maybe 1-2 hours before sorting & collating the data. Add multi-mo

This is essentially one stop short of dependency injection[1] (even cited by the original "hexagonal architecture" author back in 2005[2]). I've been writing a lot of Rust this year, and even though part of me really likes it

> But make no mistake, they have a moat and it is strong. Given that Mistral, Llama, Claude, and even Gemini are competitive with (if not better than) OpenAI's flagships, I don't really think this is true.

It's clear to me that OpenAI is quickly realizing they have no moat. Even this obfuscation of the chain-of-thought isn't really a moat. On top of CoT being pretty easy to implement and tweak, there's a serious push to on-de

I know you're semi-joking, but the obvious answer is that they could've just used system defaults. The Google fonts dependency is pretty silly. It's also a bit egregious when trying to make this kind of bold statement because

Agree with basically everything here, plus I would add that this method also has weird ergonomics. For example there is technically a midpoint between these two: `0b10u64.mid(&-20)`--but you get a weird compiler error ("unsigned
