Yeah I use my 256gb Mac Mini for iOS dev, which has always had enough space for an iPad and iPhone simulator with plenty to spare, but this eats way into that.

Not really. The source of that talking point was a young black protester who wanted real investment into black communities to stop the biggest killer of black Americans: criminals in their own communities. He wanted a structural solution ra

Yeah but you're still assuming it's running on someone's machine with a CLI to even use.

What if the agent doesn't have a CLI?

Yep, exactly. People who aren't super familiar with American propaganda often don't appreciate this enough, but every stupid network here will feature you if you pissed off the other team, and when Biden's necrotic ass is ove

Exactly. A lot of people complaining about MCP are doing so because their only interactions with LLMs are via big batteries including code harnesses and don't understand what kind of (usually much more domain-specific) agentic systems

I'm not the biggest fan of him, but him showing up on conservative outlets because the other ones wouldn't platform him (due to going against US Dept of State propaganda) does not mean he is "conservative". Please make a

It's not a "false equivalence". Multiple people are trying to explain to you what "stateless" actually means and how's it's materially different than being a fugitive, but you are refusing to listen.

Thanks for responding. I ran it just now and it looks like it could be useful if I change and limit the scope of the kinds of actions I need. Here is a breakdown of where it struggled vs some local models (~8-12B parameters running on a 16G

I'll try to get something set up to try this out. I've been working on an ESP32 based Echo replacement that sends audio back to a backend server I run, and one question I had was whether models small enough to run on a Mac Mini or

There's been some knot theory applied to molecule analysis chemistry as well as things like topological quantum field theory, with both of those being examples of fields that benefit greatly from previously unapplied mathematics introd

Depends. Do you think human mathematicians will be entirely useless for any kind of input into the act of doing mathematics? If not then we'd be advised, imo, to keep funding which is inherently just a training pipeline. The person who

>It just can't help but include every irrelevant detail from the context. The worst is when it walked through a dozen or so questions, and it decides to litter comments with "Per answer 7, ..." with no further context.

They managed to get pretty close to decomming it which is that it's now impossible to sign up on desktop without an account that requires a phone number tied to it.

Polars seems nice but in my experience using it, the "lazy" APIs would still immediately materialize a ton of stuff in memory and had very spotty support on what data formats and storage integrations were possible with scan_* func

Anecdotally, I know a few people who spent decades working on and/or teaching middle eastern music in conservatories abroad, and they struggle greatly to find music departments in the US who will hire them. A problem I've seen fir

I get the same. It sits there and spins for a bit then as soon as it spits out something, my 5h is 5-10% lower, whether it's asking it to do code review over a significant code base or just asking it to change a config value.
