For personal use, yes. I replaced a $100/m subscription to claude in favor of running pi harness pointed at unsloth studio, using both qwen (unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP-GGUF) and gemma (unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF) models

Assuming the nvidia shield. I'll also echo my general disappointment with the direction of these devices. A decade ago, they were one of the best streaming devices you could buy. then a couple years back it was "there's a ne

Where do you draw the line here? What happens when your car stops working because you're driving a tesla, but you're working on EVs for Honda or Ford? What happens when your macbook stops working, because you decided to commit to

I think the second the company starts to classify "competition" as mis-use... the whole "they're not committing harm" line sort of goes out the window. Modern society is built on the idea that competition is require

I'm going to challenge this thought. I think assuming you have the ability to guard a tool (that you're "selling" for profit) from mis-use is the definition of "controlling behavior". It's the kind of ethi

For good or for bad, this warning is ALWAYS present for AUR. It's right there in the name, and it's clearly announced in all the wiki materials that AUR is user repos, and trust shouldn't be given blindly. It's liter

You can't really get them in the sort of energy density you need for an ESS at any comparable price to LFP right now, so they only really make sense in really limited spots. Ex - the closest I can find is something like: https:/&

Seems likely. But I can't buy sodium ion today like I can LFP. The chemistry definitely seems to be better than LFP long term, but higher manufacturing costs and low scale means it's just not as available. CATL is predicting that

by horsawlarway 4mo ago
LFPs are cheap and safe, with very good cycle counts. Sodium seems to be actually hitting real commercial production volumes (ex - GM just announced a sodium ramp up days ago, CATL has been producing them for a while). I expect we'll

I'm particularly curious to know how this plays out, and I seriously hope that more labs focus on diffusion models for text usage. My immediate thought - this performs slightly worse than the autoregressive gemma equivalent, but it may

In complete seriousness: An offhand remark made by New Zealand's Finance Minister, Roger Douglas, during a 1988 television interview.

Yes, but it only stalled along a single dimension - Single core clock speed. I was building gaming machines in the early 2000s, I absolutely remember the 4ghz wall that cpus hit. But it wasn't a real wall... because we then got one of

This isn't an crazy statement (cpu performance metrics have mostly stalled their meteoric rise from prior to the 2000s) But it also doesn't capture the entire picture. CPU metrics mostly stalled for two reasons. 1. There wasn&#x27

Because I have a fixed expenditure on my local machine, and I can be absolutely sure of the costs over a long horizon (5+ years, for low end hardware life, 10+ years with moderate care). Not something that's true for cloud costs. Your

I want to echo this. I've been on claude's opus 4.5/6/7 for work for a couple months, and I finally got back to running Qwen A3B 35B... it's incredibly performant and quite capable on semi-reasonable local hardware.

A company spending 50k/m usually implies that this is a decent number of seats, on an enterprise contract. Sure - I can also get a CRM for 7.50/m as a single seat, solo user. That's not really the same product that these com

I'm going to throw out two counter arguments. 1. There is value in a tool that solves precisely your needs, in the way you want it solved. I've repeatedly seen enterprise SaaS purchases where the company ends up wrapping/laye

I'll echo the other response. I've had pretty terrible experiences with SQLite and Longhorn/NFS. It's just not the right database for pretty much ANY network based filesystem, where the locking primatives aren't as

I guess I don't consider leadership integrity and honesty to be "peanuts". If anything - as an investor I'd call those core concerns about how I'll make my money back. Further... this company isn't actually mak

Yeah, I also don't want to eat a tasty morsel if you roll it around in the dirt and serve it up covered in bugs and hair. And that's basically what SpaceX is right now after you account for xAI and twitter in the mix. So I'd

They might disagree with that framing, but it does seem to be the majority of folks I see who are interested in them. And I'm not saying that as a negative - my Framework 13 is my favorite laptop by a fairly wide margin, but it's

What do you consider a delusion? Because I've literally seen managers who believe firmly that AI is going to replace their entire engineering organization, and are acting on that assumption as though it's a thing to take for gra

I'd vote for that in a heartbeat. I think part of the problem here is that this is usually hidden from visibility (intentionally) by officials because it reflects negatively on them. It may make the news for a day or two, never get see

Yes, and I'm saying your clarifying question hints at a misunderstanding. You're already deep into the bowels of implementation specific behavior by the time we talk about dynamic linking. The C standard doesn't have anythin
