"Wireless-free" is such a ridiculous designation; you have a double negation and it still doesn't mean what you might expect (that it's wired).

My man :) Alex Evans has been my gfx coding hero since the 90s with his demoscene work, and I had the privilege of working briefly with him at Lionhead.

I have a Framework Desktop as primary PC (great cooling, beautiful case with handle) and the Bosgame M5 dedicated for AI use. I was also a bit wary about Bosgame but TBH they've been great and the machine is rock solid, if a little noi

The Strix Halo mini PCs use the exact same chip, and have a much smaller footprint than any laptop. Have you seen the size of these machines? I can and have easily popped my daily driver computer into my very small backpack to attend a demo

I think people buying laptops for AI use are, sorry, just plain crazy. You overpay for the screen and keyboard and battery and whatever, plus you get much worse thermal performance because of basic physics (area vs volume). My Framework Des

IIRC llama.cpp doesn't implement DSv4's compressed attention mechanism, and while it does use (credited) parts of llama.cpp, it's focused on this great model for now. Much of this is covered better in the repo's readme.

I have two 128gb Strix Halos and have been extremely excited about Antirez's (Redis author) work on DS4, especially with 4bit quant using two machines: https://github.com/antirez/ds4 Right now the speed isn't

Like Cursor, which is pretty much repackaged Kimi K2.5, and Musk paid $60b for (lol).

Then all they do is drive the usage of open models underground (copyright infringement is illegal too, and still common), stifle US companies operating legally, and accelerate the rest of the world decoupling from the US. I hope they do it!

Are these models still relevant for people outside the US? I get the impression we're stuck on GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8 pretty much permanently now, and relying on Chinese models in future.

Sulfur hexafluoride escaping is exceptionally damaging as a greenhouse gas, is there nothing else they can use? Edit: wow, serves me right for asking / not understanding that contrast means SF6...

> The most obvious objection to hyperbolic discounting is that many or most people learn to choose consistently over time in most situations. So hyperbolic discounting isn't all it's cracked up to be huh?

Thanks for your insight, though I was referring to the sidelining of their GPU consumer business and transformation into what it is now.

While we're doing anecdotes: I essentially never meet people who own an iPhone, and I've lived (3 months+) in a huge number of countries and cities. The handful people who do are American; bubbles exist :) For a long time, high en

Probably helps if you pay a bit more attention to detail: what is , not "why is".

100% with you, it degenerates to proof by authority if someone popular / with clout just gets to declare "nuh uh". I furthermore think it's ridiculous for humans to declare that our brains have a monopoly on certain patt

My favourite short story, I link it often. Accelerando is my favourite novel, and I need to get back to reading such dense and heady sci-fi!

That's fascinating; I'm half South African, speak Afrikaans and have never heard of it before. I can hardly imagine a more lame place to live, growing up in stuffy Pretoria in the 90s was bad enough. My family emigrated to New Zea
