A Fable 5 model running at 9,000 tokens/s on an ASIC rather than 150 tokens/s on electricity chugging Nvidia GPUs, or even giant SRAM Cerebras or Groq chips could be good enough to meet the majority of demand. 640K ought t

Was hoping it was a political act in favor of land reform or against owning property.

This presentation is painful to read. It's an LLM's idea of a CTO presentation. I'm overwhelmed by charts, only slightly connected to the text around them. But no matter, it looks like a CTO slide deck. HIGH IMPACT. Much bett

Is the CTO a bot?

I guess it uses `claude -p`? Am I correct that uses API billing not subscription?

User nashashmi [1]: So this kid uses his home computer at his home, and they trace him down with the IP address, and the IP address also makes a request for Windows Updates. And that narrows down the Device ID. The device id is now

iirc Christenson's chief example was IBM not deigning to cannibalize their high-end disk drive business by competing on the new, less capable low-end devices.

I've found that the less real estate my eyes need to scan, the faster I understand the code, even if its more tersely expressed and requires a little decoding. Relatedly, I've come to appreciate a line of code that does the thing

I feel this too but it's very hard to argue myself out of adding features like mad. Features, features, features. Tech debt may be an illusion, if the LLM can keep maintaining it all.

CFPB once played that role for financial services. Ah well.

If it's not dangerous enough to be classified as WMD by USG, who's interested.

Sure man, knock yourself out.

I wonder though if, as long as you have LLMs to maintain the extra code, it's worth it to gain the new feature. Less tech debt than your intuition expects.

I've been wrestling for days with a recalcitrant Opus 4.8 unable to close the circle on an algorithm I'm sure, based on the three previous days' experience, Fable 5 will cut right through.

Sure but in the intervening 2 years there's money to be made.

I hired a programmer and after giving him his Linux laptop let him set up a few things. A couple hours later he asked me where he could get PuTTY for it, and I recognized a huge gap in my interview coverage.

My eyes glaze over reading all the AI produced verbiage. I did find a few useful parameter settings I've already discovered using my single 3090 and ollama. I'm just remarking that the LLMs overwhelm me with minutiae, especially a

If they found actual life on Mars the NASA budget would multiply many times, so I don't understand your thinking.

Nobody's talking about how "terrorism" has expanded to mean, in law, armed opposition the the government. Throw in terrorism and the sentence goes up dramatically. Is it possible to oppose the government with arms yet not be

MS has their own profile of Cowork targeted at your users that presumably will be more enterprisey: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/03/0...

As long as the LLM can unravel, repair, and improve the slopware it creates, that's where we are necessarily going. The code will continue to be maintainable, by the LLM. I'm used to this idea and I for one welcome...

Just this morning I tweaked my single 3090 setup too: OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0 OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=180000 and that fits in 23GB. [edited for format]

Coincidentally for the last week or so I've revived my Glycine automatic as my daily wearer and I'm gauging my level of dependence on my Apple watch. So far -- hey, I wasn't all that dependent on it, and I guess, I was feelin
