General purpose, mostly internet research in the form of slow-crawling. (Emphasis on slow - I've ultimately landed on Scrapling's API for seamless content rendering, and I use image support so as not to exclude informative images

I'm using llama.cpp with Gemma and tool calling is mission critical. It's perfectly fine on my end. There are definitely differences in the eagerness to tool-call that you'll need to manage. And for all local models I've

A few days ago I switched again from Qwen3.6 to Gemma 4 - for personal use I've experienced better average performance with the 26B version of the latter than the 27B of the former. For someone who's been running local models for

I'm a huge neal.fun fan but I still worried that this was some scammy LLM coding YouTube clickbait. Love the joystick for mobile users.

I've always chuckled at this. Just don't used bad HTTP server libraries. I wouldn't put something like that on my intranet either. But even if you disagree with me the point is that I can count on only one hand the number of

The paper isn't concerned specifically with survival. It's saying that you cannot achieve "abstraction" (presumably the structure that underlies critical thinking, creativity, etc.) through shear mimicry. Again, just ech

Also, embedded servers are now much much much more popular. Stuff an HTTP server directly into your application and do whatever you gotta do without gateways.

The paper isn't saying "AI can't have one" it's saying (very approximately) that behavioral mimicry is not the path to one.

No, Brussels is Belgium. And Brussels is not the capitol of the EU because the EU is not a country.

This was surprisingly complicated for me on Altice/Optimum, which is why my home didn't have IPv6 for a while even after they started provisioning. We actually have a /128 address only, and had to tweak several settings inclu

I'd describe that as passable engineering. Good engineering is building the strongest bridge within budget and time.

What evidence is there that developers won't break even or profit? The demand is clearly there, it's a seller's market.

UO didn't have a global concept of a level. You had a maximum number of points per character, which you allocated to skills by doing the corresponding activity. This is how you can skill cap your character without killing monsters or p

Take this with a grain of salt - several Youtube exposés showed that the Actions code was utter shit before LLM coding was widely available. I'm assuming the tech debt finally sent the product off a cliff.

All this talk of soup making me wonder if these are Arabic/ME derivatives. Then again there are like 10 different ways to refer to soup in the various dialects.

On public transit or a street, maybe. But only maybe. Are you willfully ignoring people at bars, night clubs, supermarkets, etc? It's obvious 99% of the time whether or not the conversation is in the wrong place and wrong time.

Agree but a terrifyingly large number of tech companies have garbage security so the bullying is often unnecessary.

Amazing. Took forever but I found my building in Brooklyn as well as the nearby dealership, gas station, and public school.

It's definitely way more nuanced than that. You have to approach exhaustion to get the body to eventually build strength. But you need to carefully time your rests/deloads and handle plateaus with more volume.

Nah. Healthy cynicism is using your contributions to gain leverage while interviewing with said EvilCorp. It's not like the OSS is anonymous.

Agree to disagree. I don't appreciate that you glossed over the second worst economic crisis in US history.

I appreciate the author's modesty but the flip-flopping was a little confusing. If I'm not mistaken, the conclusion is that by "self-hosting" you save money in all cases, but you cripple performance in scenarios where yo

Man, posts like these always strike a nerve. I graduated in 2008. "Everything" wasn't just handed to us, we had our own share of horrible to deal with as well. And guess what? You'll get through it too. I wasn't a f

No, the established language is very precise and you can run this by any source. Shareholders collectively own corporations by way of equity.
