I definitely see a future race of who can accelerate open models and their usage locally with realistic desktop hardware. I fully await my ai in a usb box. The models are plateauing and some clever company is secretly working on this alread

On hardware? Usually hardware issues or quirks are a bigger issue than memory honestly.

Meanwhile nothing really seems to matter anymore but Zephyr which has become almost Linux like in its escape velocity. Every vendor on earth now supports it, and these guys follow the money. Rust seems to have modest support in some places.

This greatly implies online advertising is dead, that the internet as something useful to humans is soon becoming questionable.

Why would anyone be surprised by this outcome? No one should be surprised.

Why go back to a centralized model at all. Guess which project isn’t suffering in this whole debacle of GitHub? The one git was made for of course.

Copilot probably wrote the code confidently and it was never looked at by a human then yolo’d out to meet the pointy haired bosses arbitrarily short timeline to then look good to his boss and so on

GitHub is down days of that week that end with day these days. If I were a paying customer I'd be cancelling soon. GitHub is sort of foundational at this point and when its down nearly every day of the week it cannot be foundational.

There's still repercussions to the unaligned variable length instruction set that is x86 though, and the decoder and prefetch have to deal with the insanity that falls out from it... ultimately limiting how parallel the instruction dec

The encoding being oddball does have some effects on linkers/loaders though I imagine? Not that linking/loading is a super hot path people generally worry about.

Nah they'd rather try to continue to force snapdragon on windows where no one actually cares about this and the experience is trash. AArch64 is dead for Windows and client Linux, and the knife is in Qualcomm's hands.

Ah yes, the qualcomm way. Rather than upstreaming things so it just works make a Qualcomm Linux, perhaps with NDA and laywer speak to sign off on to get access to anything at all, all to use their mediocre hardware. Qualcomm you suck, upstr

Sitting in a modern pickup is worse than a school bus for visibility. You cannot see in front of the truck at all. Real blue collar work seems to mostly have moved to work vans like the sprinter which have much better visibility, much more

I’m moving all my machines to NixOS. I’d done this before but ran into time constraints creating ports for convoluted binary software. With LLMs now as good as they are it’s quite possible this isn’t a problem anymore. I’ll be finding out.

Wild. A great book by Clive had this exact sort of scenario where an AI so powerful it could break into any system. In typical Cussler fashion there was some Indiana Jones/Laura Croft mysticism around it but still… The modern world is

How do you measure the performance of people? This is subjective and biased every time.

There is no inherit in Rust. If you choose to try and do OOP horror Rust makes this fairly painful

Isn’t this effectively a mediocre MediaTek SoC glued with an over priced GPU with an OS that’s barely usable and I guess the ask is $5k? What a deal!

C++ the good parts is essentially C. If C had the concept of traits and generics or something like them like Rust there’d be no need for C++ and its ideas of mediocre inheritance and macros (templates).

Xilinx has often thought of the software as the special sauce that sets them apart it seems like. At this point its a net negative. Nothing like a massive bloated Vivado that now requires a slow spywareOS to run its rotting carcass of gigab

Funny, I need an LLM to figure out what most people consider "readable" python as its highly unreadable to me. The lack of types, top to bottom flow, and more tends to make it all very confusing for me to read anything python that

I mean best of luck policing this is all I'm going to say. We will soon be back to the "core contributors only" kind of policy in many projects I imagine to avoid the slop spam. The verification will be at the conferences.

I'm not sure how you could really take a stance on this. If someone used the tool to expedite work its unlikely you'd ever know it. If you use the tool to yeah, go one shot a ton of garbage then it will in fact be garbage.

radicle.xyz also does the distributed/seeded forge setup and I think does a nice job of it already.

I wonder if radicle.xyz will start taking off, as there is no corporate entity hanging over its head, and never likely will be.
