So I did test this, and it doesn't work because the quantized layers need torch._int_mm, which PyTorch's MPS backend doesn't implement. It just throws NotImplementedError.

I've been using MiniMax H3 on my M5 Pro 64GB MacBook Pro through ComfyUI. It works extremely well. I had to modify the default ComfyUI workflows to use a GGUF quant (city96's ComfyUI-GGUF custom node, UnetLoaderGGUF in place of th

Anyone who is bothered by mosquitos should look into how to build a “bucket of doom”. Basically you deliberately create the best mosquito breeding habitat in your yard (stagnant water), then spike it with a a bacterial larvicide to kill the

I don’t believe for a second that they lack the engineering talent. It’s just another example of a company demonstrating shamelessness in the pursuit of growth, in an industry where consequences do not exist.

From the outside, it looks like OpenAI got exactly the kind of event they could market the hell out of to demonstrate the capability of the model. But the event itself only seems possible because they failed to properly monitor and isolate

I was just working on backing up my mac yesterday. I talked to Fable about replacing Carbon Copy Cloner with a custom script. One of the things I realized is that backups are about as “critical” a function as you can get in personal computi

I do use git branches, but they solve isolation, which isn't my pain point with git. When I'm using agents to code, I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing and commit known-good state to the repo every few minutes. j

In .claude/settings.json you can trigger shell commands on events like SessionStart, Stop, PreCompact, and PostToolUse [1]. I have all of them run `jj status`, because jj snapshots the working copy every time it's invoked. You can

I recently switched to Jujutsu (jj) and it made me realize that “what comes after Git” might already exist. It turns out the snapshot model is a perfect fit for AI-assisted development. I can iterate freely without thinking about commits or

For those interested in doing this themselves, there’s some great existing software to create EPUB3 files with the audiobook aligned with text. https://storyteller-platform.gitlab.io/storyteller/ https://cod

Out of curiosity. Where does the metadata for the books come from?

+1 for Storyteller. It is beyond fantastic to have my progress seamlessly synced between my ebooks and audiobooks. I’m paying for BookFusion, to have synced cross-platform reading. It’s expensive, but seems to be one of the few cross-platfo

Perhaps there’s a B2C offering to be made here. An SMS proxy, forwarding 2FA codes to people without SMS. It would require a lot of trust. Similar and related discussions on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43

This past weekend I was struggling to teach my 97-year old neighbor how to login to his RBC Bank account. It was an 11 step process!!! The state of technology in the Canadian banking system is abysmal. Combine that with our cell providers,

I agree. My iPhone 12 Mini has seen better days, and I will need a new phone soon. It is disappointing that there is no alternative to the iPhone 12/13 Mini in 2025. The smaller form factor is more comfortable in my hand, and fits bett

I really enjoyed reading "The Blue Machine: How The Ocean Works". It turns out the Ocean is fascinating, and I learned something crazy: "Between 1950 and 1973, world fish harvest trippled, but the amount of fish directly cons

I've also been waiting for remote page turning. Connecting a Bluetooth remote to the Paperwhite or using the Scribe's pen to turn pages remotely would be fantastic. I can't understand why remote page-turning capabilities are

Interesting idea, and it seems to work well for converting simple common units. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I'd like it to be able to recognize and perform more involved calculations like converting L/100
