A company can sell for any number of reasons. Executives might have most of their compensation package locked up in performance shares that only pay out when the company exits. Heck, a lot of "executives" are just contractors with

When it was time to replace the old family car in April 2025, we very explicitly went and bought an ICE hybrid Toyota at an enormous premium, despite multiple test drives and planning for years on buying a Tesla electric BEV, due to recent

It seems a bit presumptuous that software and hardware would not evolve past May 2025 to improve watts/token over time, or whatever metric you choose. Consumer-grade GPUs didn't really arrive until 1995, and industry didn't r

As mentioned you can run this on a server board with 768+ gb memory in cpu mode. Average joe is going to be running quantized 30b (not 600b+) models on an $300/$400/$900 8/12/16gb GPU

Another way to look at this is, "millenials have kids/lives now and don't have the bandwidth to be rage-baited near-constantly" and also "Gen Z grew up in the rage baiting era, they're immune by default".

If you come up with the answers to some of these questions, I'd definitely read those blog articles on how you came to those conclusions. Keep asking interesting questions! Cheers

Agent mode seems to be better at realizing all the places in the code base that need to be updated, particularly if the feature touches 5+ files, whereas editor starts to struggle with features that touch 2-3 files. "every 60 ticks, pr

Humans and LLMs are built differently, it seems disingenuous to think we both use the same methods to arrive at the same general conclusion. I can inherently understand some proofs of pythagorean's theorem but an LLM might apply differ

I'd like to subscribe to the LTS release of their UI (12 years) thanks. I don't want anything to change on my phone from year to year or model to model.

CoreOS (now part of redhat) offered "fleet" which was multi-computer container orchestration, and used systemd style fleet files and raft protocol to do leader election etc (back when raft was still a novel concept). We ran it in

Sure, but now your all-go shop now needs to support two languages, two sets of linters, ci/cd etc for a single utility. It might be faster for you but if the utility is going to be used for more than a couple of weeks now it's a r

With 16gb you can comfortably run a 12b model that's been quantized. Quantizing is (bad example) effectively lossy compression.

deepseek-r1:8b screams on my 12gb gpu. gemma3:12b-it-qat runs just fine, a little faster than I can read. Once you exceed GPU ram it offloads a lot of the model to the CPU and splitting between gpu and cpu is dramatically (80? 95%?) slower

If you're doing a home lab voice assistant 1B is nice, because on a 12gb gpu you can run a moderately competent 7b LLM and two 1b models; 1 for speech to text and also text to speech, plus some for the wake word monitor. Maybe in a cou

I love the SSD1306 simply because a simple arduino can drive it at ~150fps making for some really smooth graphics. 1 bit per pixel monochrome OLED means it's got a tiny frame-buffer, and you can drive it ridiculously fast especially
