Not about range, but speed. Wifi is surprisingly slow. I noticed downloading a model from the internet (Huggingface) to my Desktop (connected by LAN cable) is faster than copying it from said Desktop to the laptop in the same room via Wifi.

Japan here and there is a word for it "nominication" for nomu (to drink) and communication. Instead of Christmas party we have a year end party (bonenkai). Otherwise reads the same. It's common and many people actually like i

It's even worse: Customer says I want X! One or more of the following can be true: - Customer really wants X - Customer doesnt actually need X at all - Customer wants Y not X but couldnt express himself - Customer B and C do

I am trying this. I noticed I only browse a subset of sites a lot. Also HN works wonders for finding links. But how do you get around all those bot measures/cloudflare nowadays? It seems only google IPs get a special pass.

One big pain point is not seeing the thinking trace. I noticed using pi with a self hosted model that I could spot, stop and correct my prompt much faster. With claude etc I have to first wait for it to think 3 minutes and then notice it go

Just for reference our fully electric household (including cooking, water and aircon). Highest usage this month on a very hot day was 25kWh. (Disclaimer: I am not in Australia. Already cover most of it with roof solar. No battery yet)

This would be awesome for OpenMW, too. Morrowind is kind of dated. But I like the original style. So a curated easy install of improvement mods as a service would be great.

I work similar, but still have architecture mds for a few selected cross cutting features. As useful for human readers as for AI. Normally I do it exactly as you say, point at a few files, but if I know these features are involved I point a

Really nice. I build a deck this year too. I would have loved to have a nice blog post like this beforehand. I love his page. Inspires to write. Simple, clean, blog has 2 years break here and there, but writing! Before doing myself, I did

All cities have the exact same shopping street somewhere. Tokyo (Ginza), NYC (5th), Paris, London, Berlin, Sao Paulo..: Starbucks, Gucci, Addidas, Louis Vuitton, Levis, Ferragamo, Apple Store, a little further from there a McDonald's..

When buying fridge, washing machine, oven etc, when I moved, I told the sales person, I like quality, am not price sensitive, but any device that requires an app or has a camera/mic built in is out of question. Some didn't know ho

Not only kids. I am an adult, and I also enjoy physical ownership. Physical music (especially LP) sales have been rising yoy since 2020.

I am totally a linux user. But even on the high end, the build quality of laptops more expensive than apple is often worse than apple. Or it's hit and miss and you need to hope to get the good one. I want a lightweight, non-plastic l

I think this is the main point. Most articles conflate consciousness with intelligence or awareness. Without clarifying their definition of it. To quote wikipedia: > It has been the topic of extensive explanations, analyses, and debate a

Same opinion. Opus is best for coding, but Qwen 3.6 27b Q8 is next, before Sonnet. Sonnet might have more knowledge and is maybe good for making excel sheets, but it does not write good code and does not follow instructions well. But 27b Q8

A similar thing is happening in video games. Big studios rarely have interesting games. Just GameTitle2026. Reboot of game from the 90s and no one is left of the original staff. Still a lot of people buy those, so studios continue to make t

I wonder how they are positioned now in the market. During covid I wanted a small low power always on server. I thought about Raspi, but at the time it was expensive and I went with an intel nuc, for a similar price. Now if I wanted to do h

It might be overcompensation. I think UI, UX and GUIs got better up until the 90s, and early 2000s, but then somewhere GUIs suddenly got a lot worse. So a modern CLI is better and more standardized than a modern GUI.

I don't know about basket weaving, but.. I once had a talk with one of (the?) world's best bonsai gardener in Edogawa, Tokyo. Trees cut by him are worth millions and he has pictures of himself with FANG leaders. This guy wakes up

How to handle domains? The rest is easy, but your domain registrar blocking you sounds like a pain. My current solution is to use a local small provider, just for the domain. Then if there is a problem with your play account it is out of an

I always wanted to get into bsd, especially openbsd. I like the idea of a more cohesive os. But I don't really know what to use it for to get started. My desktop runs linux with steam for games. My AI server needs rocm drivers so ubunt

That is similar to how some of these boats look like, just more modern. Here is an example with pictures https://www.ferry-sunflower.co.jp/en/ (disclaimer, I never went that route, the ones I went with were less glamor

These places still exist, but you need to look for them. Here in Japan, some remote islands, you can travel overnight boat. I love those. There might be a speed boat or plane, but I love boarding the boat in the evening, everyone feels like

It is true, I did learn Basic (QBasic) first, as elementary school student, and C second. What made it particular good was the F1 help. I think it is still one of the best help systems I ever used. Good intro and F1 while pointing on any f

I would recommend to start withQwen 3.6 35B at maybe Q5, it should be fast in that setup. For intelligence Qwen 3.7 27b, is smarter but will run much more slow. Others also mention gemma 4, which might be worth a try.

Llama.cpp with automatic offload to main memory. You can also use Ollama, it is easier, but slower.
