You've made a really sharp observation, and the reason it lands is worth naming:

On a brief background read it looks like another issue is that blobs are not necessarily stored in contiguous regions of the file. Maybe there's some clever way to combine a VFS shim and virtual tables to store page aligned blobs in a

I didn't understand the core issue, is it that due to non-alignment of the on-disk data you have to do a copy at load time, but if you could guarantee alignment of the actual blob content then you could use it directly?

It's not hard to make a portable UI framework if you accept similar limitations to the terminal (limited OS integration, accessibility support, etc). You can do anything you want and ship it through RFB.

Prime Agent looks really interesting. Both the "recursive language model" bit and routing everything through IPython. https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent

I don't know how the contemporaneous IRIS would compare for the target workloads but not necessarily faster than a stock NeXT, let alone one with whatever upgrades the customer wanted to stick in there. The 68000 and by that point the

Factory overclock, and in those days Motorola could probably have given them a batch of mid-development DSP chips (sort of proto 56002) that could clock much higher and still sit on the unmodified motherboard, max out the scratchpad memory,

I was pretty disappointed that didn't work out, but it also is a direct precursor to Mojo which actually makes me more optimistic about Mojo's design choices.

I think a bigger issue than open source timing is the community governance necessary to shape a tool that serves the needs of a lot of stakeholders. Swift has lived under the shadow of Apple's (often secret) product priorities. The ext

Methane has a stronger greenhouse effect than CO2 (until it decays into CO2) so it's probably better to burn it and do no work than just vent it, and better still to leave it in the ground.

Log all the calls and run on a periodic cadence (cron or ever N turns) a larger model (like Opus) to read samples of the traces and edit the template to fix observed problems. There are some signs that help find interesting things to look a

It's a bit of a different situation though, in many cases the unit of adoption is a team or organization that is free to switch platforms without consideration of what anyone else is doing. At this point I'm going to move my perso

To be fair a lot of models have quirks, I've never found a model swap that was transparent.

Look for improved templates by "froggeric" on Hugging Face. I use Qwen 3.6 a fair amount using his template and it fixes some issues I saw with the upstream versions.

This is all a pretty active area of research, both adaptive drafting, different draft approaches (DFlash etc), I expect to see really big improvements land in the popular runtimes this year.

Yes, I was fixing issues piecemeal until I found the froggeric template, I've had to fix I think one issues with that one but it's better.

I think the idea is you do visual editing on your page as rendered, and then Pixy generates a log of what you did annotated in a way a coding agent can use to generate code changes. Seems convenient.

I have some self-improving harness tooling, I run it within Claude Code because of the cost advantage but that does mean restarting Claude Code periodically so it can pick up all changes. It sounds like the DeepSeek system won't need t

The fun part is unless your app is pretty high traffic you might see the bug only once, or twice, and never have a reasonable way to even get close to a fix or know what your real exposure is.

See sibling answer but essentially the effectiveness of cache is not diminished by having a separate one per model (relative to the win of doing more turns and generation with a cheaper model).

To elaborate, because I don't think some of the people reading this understand the reason, typically a lot or most of the cost in "agentic" API usage is cached read + generation. Cached read costs scale with turn count, which

As pjmlp points out we don't know what would have happened if Intel had spent another few billion dollars re-implementing IA64 in a lower cost / lower power form. To me one of the big lessons of the last few decades is that pragma

It's unclear to me what would have likely happened had AMD stayed on IA32 and Netburst been uncontested. Itanium was far too expensive for consumer machines and it seems very possible that Intel would have fumbled IA64 in a way similar

They Toyota hybrids are still gasoline, what's the objection to the eCVT? So long as we're still using combustion engines it seems like the best design anyone's come up with.

They are useful for packaging all the related bits together. Some instructions on the line to add to the main prompt, detailed policy doc that spells out details, troubleshooting docs, the code itself, etc.

I like it based on initial testing today. I already use my own local UI for managing stacked PRs so I can see the dependencies as a tree view and the review + CI status for each, it would be good to also have those in the GH web UI. Maybe I
