I don't think it's acceptable, and I don't tip if I pay before I eat. Ironically, I also don't adjust the amount I tip at sit-down restaurants based on how the service was. I refuse to allow tipping to expand beyond wh

Unless the LLM has an SVG renderer in its toolbox, it's like asking a human to draw while blindfolded. It's amazing if they can do it well, but it's practically meaningless.

A fair point... I thought the bug was a missing check for the COW flag, but looking at it again it seems it was missing both setting and checking the flag.

In CHERI, for example, pointers have permissions. The pointer to the COW memory would not have the "write" permission. I could be misunderstanding the bug, of course.

The parameters in the original gpt-oss-20B model are "post-trained with MXFP4 quantization", so there just isn't much to gain by quantizing to Q8. If you look inside the Q8 model, most of the parameters are MXFP4 anyway. Tho

Compared to a B70, a 5090 is 1x the memory with 3x the bandwidth at 4x the price. Yeah, the 5090 is better, but you're paying for it.

I, too, am jealous of China's high speed railroads. However, on the whole, China has overbuilt their infrastructure, and that may not look so smart in 40-50 years when the maintenance bills start coming due.

The Freestyle Pro is almost a good keyboard. The Esc and function keys are all offset to the left by one key compared to a standard layout, which drove me nuts. I have a Freestyle Edge RGB now, which I like much better. (Though I replace

Tokenization is an inherent weakness of current LLM design, so it makes sense to compensate for it. Hopefully some day tokenization will no longer be necessary.
