Nowadays I use our local setup 95% of the time, but it is not that long since that flipped for me personally. Context: I have a $20 Claude Code subscription, and have used it for a handfull of small-ish projects the last year, in parallel w

I have experimented with both q8 and q4 for KV cache. I can't find any difference between q8 and fp16, but q4 suffers more when the context grows. q8 seems like a good compromise and gives us enough ctx for about 6-8 concurrent, full c

In our company of 24 employees, we get by with two DGX Sparks. We don't use AI heavily, but each Spark can serve about 6-8 concurrent requests with a full context lenght of 256k, which is decent. We get about ~35 t/s depending on

I remember using some kind of software around the time of windows xp i think, that could replace the chrome/shell so you could design your own GUI entirely – but I can't remember what it was called! I spent a lot of time iterating

Can it summarize text it fetches? Come to think of it, this could be a nice model to have as the first pass in a more complex agent system where Needle hands of the results of a tool call to a larger model. I will defiantly play around with

This is the way! It is incredible how far you get with a single HTML-file, containing styles and JS, when building dashboards, small apps and other utilities that can interact with an API or otherwise fetch data from somwhere. I just drop i

I can recommend the VW e-UP!s from 2013-2016ish. They have very little tech in them but are relatively modern. You can also quite easily tap into the control systems (climate etc) to remote control it with your own hardware: https:/&#

I run this model on my AMD RX7900XTX with 24GB VRAM with up to 4 concurrent chats and 512K context window in total. It is very fast (~100 t/s) and feels instant and very capable, and I have used Claude Code less and less these days.

Laptops and tables are, as it turns out, not so cheap either. They need to be fixed or replaced at an alarming rate, and they lay claim to a much larger part of a school budget than books ever did. That is part of the reason that we revert

The term 'social media' has changed a lot over time. The attention grabbing kind we have today is a very different beast than what we started out with; no ads and only a chronological timeline showing posts from your network. The

It is not only about raw power consumption. Comparing driving an electric car with using AI only in kW hides a major point: Hyperscale datacenters are massively centralised, which brings it's own problems; a lot of energy is used for c

I was thinking about social networks that is not Facebook. The challenge is to make something that can compete in this respect. It would be so nice to have the in-person part, but without the ads, scams, data theft and blackbox algorithms!

Centralisation generally leads to efficiency, but when pushed to far it will corrode core human values. Democratic processes will always have to contend with the messiness of humans, and we have to find a balance. Currently I feel the conso
