LLMs were a bad idea. MCPs were the band-aid to get them closer to the real world and do something for recursive self improvement. Then LLMs became better suited for everyday use. I'm tired of these kind of posts. This author is on my

It's great they do C23. I'd love to get three-four projects worth of things merged together for a good reason: - TinyCC, SDCC, Musl and Cosmopolitan Libc Reason is that I require a quick fast portable compiler with a decent runtim

Many developers will likely be developing at Android 16 APIs only. Will rely on Aptoide+AOSP exclusively. This is likely the timeline we'll see a decline in Play Store and Pixel usage.

We all know these aren't purely technical reasons, it's to break the monopoly of one Internet Company's decoder format portfolio. You can't let one Fruit Company's format be the thing either, so it's basically

Market correction will happen. Banks go down and close during recessions. Hope these people are wise enough to see through these effects.

Don't buy this argument. It's like saying, we lords who hold this capital will build all this economically destructive stuff anyway, and wait for the world to not react to our stupid ways of enriching yourselves. People are not go

This is great. All algorithmic efficiencies are amazing! One thing I'd remind all scientists and the wonderful people here is this wonderful meme/line from Jurassic Park: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they

LOL ... Accurate ;) A lot of time accessibility is about that extra effort one can't get with tight development budgets. I apply generous amounts of butter while I keep the thing dry and let it be otherwise accessible at the same time.

A lot of the AI progress is stalled because these chips do not handle thermal contraction/expansion well at all, and end up permanently destroying these chips. HBM has been a failure at this scale with chips getting destroyed every 4 m

I'd like to next the article which says almost no need for training models. That's really what I'm interested in at this point

It's a good step in the right direction. Hardware reliability and testing needs to happen. Tell me how long it can run without heating up.

Oh, look, more state sponsored control propaganda disguised as protection. Scams are run by state sponsored actors and intelligence agencies and their targets are often regular people who have nothing to do with any of this. You can say wha

Issue with storage is you need shelf stability without ongoing electrical/mechanical work refreshing data time to time. Masked ROMs and M-Discs are those two things which can really last a very long time; Floppies, Hard Disks, Solid St

I am going to either buy a CommodoreOS phone (Jolla) or a Linux phone (TBD) at this point for any such purchases; I currently have old phones who do not have this restriction, but if Google Play did this, I'd already be ready with Apto

I already got a working Xet server with fully efficient `hf upload/hf download` functionality. I think I don't need much honestly than to mirror/proxy all the models and datasets I need and get some simple repo clones to exis

I'm giving out more unpopular opinions today for entertainment and thought :) Every model is benchmaxxing today. Many of them are awful until tuned for any particular task.

Many people seemingly also use these tools against their data center vendors so I believe this is just for consumer users?

This is great. It tells you how many manufacturers make it easy and difficult to get refunds. ASUS is the most specific one, albeit their refund range is between 9 and 65 EUR. Great work.

Ask HN: Does anyone have a VRAM tester? Something like MemTest86+ but for GPUs?

If this were I I'd rip every CD and upload FLACs to the Internet Archive, vibe code a free music playing app and release it for free. None of these restrictive arguments would stop me from doing the next 2-3 steps even, after buying th

It actually is. Don't concentrate compute and data risks in a few vendors centralized who currently don't do a good job of hosting them nor saving them well. It obviously costs money to run cloud storage and compute, do use whatev

Running Non Profit and managing infrastructure for pennies, is a real problem these non profits / small companies face. If a multi trillion dollar company won't afford to burn a few million a month, good luck getting any of these

Right. Well funded corporate IT environments losing access to their data because Microsoft screws them over. Perfect. That's not what I'm reading here.
