It's still true that people, out of convenience and familiarity, used Raspberry Pi for tasks where a microcontrollers would have been perfectly adequate

Nah. In the era of LLMs the ability of saying no to bad features that are easy to implement but add no value is more important than ever. LLMs aside, being able to say no is important when resources are scarce

A bit light on details but nevertheless interesting. As someone who’s done a fair amount of coding with Helix via ssh on my phone while riding the train I find fascinating reading about other people’s setups. For sure not having to type the

In my experience without search I end up with an hallucination fest more time than not. In one sense that might be more interesting but I'm not sure that's what you mean :)

The pricing is very steep. I can see a market for this as an application with one time purchase but as a subscription?

Expertise is more important if you care about a good end result. People pushing for AI often don't care about the end result at all. They care about quantity over quality. This can be really frustrating for someone who spent time getti

I also like the index feature form https://maki.sh Source code has a lot of structure, using a real parser instead of grepping and reading files can potentially save a lot of tokens

100% I would be happier to have a small model that can run locally capable of searching the web than a stand-alone frontier model

I briefly played with k3s before realising than with a single machine I was maintaining a lot of complexity for limited benefits. Then I switched to NixOS, have everything declared in configuration and a much leaner and simpler setup

I’m at a FAANG and we have $300/day token quota. Personally I don’t use that much of it but management is pushing really hard for it. “the quota has been raised for a reason, use it”. Any task: “have you tried working on it with Claude

It could. But most people use social media from mobile apps so it doesn’t really help in the grand scheme of things

The claim that this isn't a hard problem to solve seems very optimistic to me. The tiny minority dominates the feeds because that's how the incentives for algorithmic driven social media are structured. Do we really expect Meta, X

To be fair the author of the post is using the model Apple provides with the OS so it doesn't have any extra binary size

by wrxd 5mo ago
The example in the post confirms my theory that for local models to succeed they need to be "good enough", not big enough that they can compete with frontier models. They need to be able to do a small task well and they need to be

I'm not a fan of this being downloaded by default. Still, I very much prefer that, if something if Chrome uses a LLM, that's done via a local LLM rather than by via an API call
