That's why local models are important. Of course they aren't alternative to the current frontier model, and as such you cannot easily jump from the later to the former, but they aren't that far behind either, for coding Qwen3

I said “something like k8s” above, and Google for sure uses something like k8s called Borg.

I have nom doubt that there are legit use cases for something like k8s at Google or other multi-billion companies. But if its use was confined to this use case, pretty much nobody would be using it (unless as a customer of the organization&

Because all HN needed was another piece of AI slop incorrectly quoting “what color is your function”… It's 2026 and I'm starting to hate the internet.

“Function coloring” is an imaginary issue in the first place. Or rather it's a real phenomenon, but absolutely not limited to async and people don't seem to care about it at all except when talking about async. Take Rust: you retu

I wish the “Function coloring” meme died. It made sense in the context of the original blog post (which was about callback hell, hence the “4. Red functions are more painful to call” section un the original blog post), but doesn't make

It is. A lot. But concurrency is hard and there's so much you syntax can do about it.

They also have a much higher data bandwidth and higher charge rate, so Apple would have most likely ditched lightning for something else at some point (though it would probably be some proprietary cable if not for the EU regulation)

Apple switched long after the Regulation was written by the Commission and handed to the European council. The fact that legislative process takes a long time (and that the EU always leave a long window to companies to comply) doesn't

Due to the length of the European legislative process, apple knew it was coming years before it eventually landed.

It doesn't have one on my phone (from inside thetge EU). But if it did, it would most certainly because nobody in the administration takes IT seriously, and the web development agency which made the website just used their usual amount

Yes, that's my point exactly: to maximize efficiency, you'd try catching this more abundant light, but plants do the opposite, chlorophyll catches other wavelength and reflect green (which is why plants appear green).

The more efficient a system is (due to specialization and removal of redundancy), the more fragile it becomes. That's why biological systems look so wasteful (chlorophyll reflecting the more abundant wavelength, etc.)

I suspect with that money you could get a full time customer support person for your business. Now think about it, what's creating more value to your customers: having your infra on Digital Ocean or having a better customer support?

That's not how it works. Many people get confused by the “expert” naming, when in reality the key part of the original name “sparse mixture of experts” is sparse . Experts are just chunks of each layers MLP that are only partially act

No, GP is excessively restrictive. Llama.cpp supports RAM offloading out of the box. It's going to be slower than if you put everything on your GPU but it would work. And if it's too slow for your taste you can try the quantized v

This makes no sense: solar plants in the deserts have the same shape yet even though the land is pretty much worseless. Where did you get your morning shade fixation from?
