Arn't goroutines the killer feature of go? Don't see how you'd get them with this approach.

We really need to band together to fund / sponsor targeted inducement prizes (a la Nobel laureate Michael Kremer) for open models. Every 6-12 months, give out $200K to the first model to hit a min threshold on a set of ~5-10 hard bench

Comically you can sign Tailnet lock from iOS, but it’s an insane workflow. You need to generate a QR code then scan it from the signing mobile device, which opens a secret menu option to sign (fine just brings up a confirmation dialog). Inc

This really should be in the blogpost. It’s both useful info and basic courtesy to be explicit about which underlying inferencing engine you are using

I’m skeptical that the problem they are trying to solve is truly unreasonable bandwidth demands. Sometimes it feels like what people want is to only serve websites and content to good normal users but not evil bad “scrapers” (because maybe

I'm exploring the pi based options now and I like that Oh-my-pi actually adds new value over extensions (the advisor and stream interruption hooks are pretty clever). I just wish it had a way for me to downlimit tool access (I love mid

You can change it to something a tiny bit nicer a few times!

This seems like a responsibly designed service, but I find it a little odd and baffling that we need such intermediaries for the average hobbyist / small project to reliably access sets of content published on the internet. Wasn’t this

At that point why not just use the .ts.net addresses Tailscale provides for free?

I do wonder to what degree this weird play originated from Anthropic, versus from an overeager founder selling past the close. I can imagine Anthropic wanting to acquire Bun without the gimmicks.

In a real job, you would be allowed to see the test case that failed and tweak your code (or more likely the poorly written test). If you let a modern LLM do even the first, they’d crush this specific benchmark. What is interesting is under

Could you please open source this or a 4B version? I’ve been messing around w hooking up vllms to cheap robots and skipping the whole ROS stack and this would be an absolute delight to play with

I threw something like this together w a simple browser front end, mostly because I like running mid to large open models but can’t trust them to not go insane. Will share at some point soon

It’s tragic that memory is so expensive, and yet, we don’t have chipsets to exploit the bandwidth possibilities of the memory being burnt on these devices. Absolutely no reason that these need to be capped at 256 GB/s other than shorts

Is there a good way to teach kids relative pitch (beyond exposing them to a broad range of music etc.)? I struggle with this and have tried multiple times to learn different instruments from different musical traditions and instructors and

A couple of Berkeley academics compiled a giant corpus of local laws and ordinances and classified them in various ways. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have cleanly linked each ordinance to its source, so I'm not entirely sure

I think the way this works is with an internal structure, that houses the plastic and is expected to deform, printed first (so it cools), then outer walls with perhaps some air gaping for insulation, then injection into the inner structure

I was thinking about just asking the compiler to do the expensive reshuffle when I need it to, but you could go further and expect the compiler to figure out the likely access pattern and spend the transformation budget. Heck memory is chea

Encoder free is huge for running on SBCs etc. often the encoding time is a significant fraction of generation time if you are using a VLM as a all purpose vision model

Wonder what the limit is as you add more 32 bit integers to the product. Just the primes over 32 bit?

What’s strange about how things have developed is that this report 12-18 months ago would have been a massive scandal and would have caused durable brand damage. Now nobody will remember or notice.

I'd have to try the KV cache trick but folks get pretty competitive speeds with the current 31B/27B dense models e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1tc9j6u/mi50s_q...
