I've been using Qwen3.6-37B-A3B on an M1 Max w/ llama.cpp and for my practical uses I prefer it to qwen3.8. When 3.8 does answer its slower and, qualitatively, marginally better than qwen3.6, but 3.8 often ends up in unresolved t

Qwen3.6 27B is very usable, and dialing back thinking modes woth Qwen3.8 bring it close, but 3.8 stills feels slower. Unknown to me if the results are qualitatively better or worse overall - with the heavier thinking 3.8 felt worse in terms

I would be cautious about relying on proprietary platform features from any AI vendor right now. They all have scaling headaches, and also are in the middle of mass feature churn. For must work company services, I'd require multi-vendo

Are you running the direct data of your workload all through the AI? The number of tokens you're consuming can probably be reduced a lot. It seems like a good time to take a half step back and use the AI to build a workflow engine to

Yes, it's a critical distinction that's important in many systems domains, but getting some form of ownership policy and method - even if implemented with a GC I think is a step forward in terms of building reliable code. The thin

I had thoughts along similar lines, but there are other possibilities - it could be the older CPU models are built either on older lines and/or with more mature, higher yield processes, and this offering could in part take demand press

Last I checked, and things might have changed, atuin runs a full posgresql database to store and sync the history, while mcfly is lighter, it also has a narrower feature scope.

One could run a docker container with claude code, with a bind to the project directory. I do that but also run my docker daemon/container in a Linux VM.

Go slow to go fast. Breaking up the PR this way also allows later humans and AI alike to understand the codebase. Slowing down the PR process with standards lets the project move faster overall. If there is some bug that slips by review, ha

Large PRs could follow the practices that the Linux kernel dev lists follow. Sometimes large subsystem changes could be carried separately for a while by the submitter for testing and maintenance before being accepted in theory, reviewed, a

Crash? The software, or physically? A 200Hz as a min control loop rate seems on the fast side as a general default, but it all depends on the control environment - and I may be biased as I've done a lot more bare silicon controls than

The easiest is to add short info in comments, and longer info in some sort of document and reference the doc in comments. Lightweight ADRs are a good recommendation. I've put similar practices into place with teams I've worked wit

A fun use of this kind of approach would be to see if conversational game NPCs could be generated that stick the the lore of the game and their character.

I would guess by now none have that internally. As a rule of thumb every major flash density increase (SLC, TLC, QLC) also tended to double internal page size. There were also internal transfer performance reasons for large sizes. Low level

Garage is really good for core S3, the only thing I ran into was it didn't support object tagging. It could be considered maybe a more esoteric corner of the S3 api, but minio does support it. Especially if you're just mapping for

Incidentally there is a open source S3 project in rust that I have been following. About a year ago, I applied Garage images to replace some minio instances used in CI pipelines - lighter weight and faster to come up. https://git

This seems around the durability that most databases can reach. Aside from more specialized hardware arrangements, with a single computer, embedded database there is always a window of data loss. The durability expectation is that some in-

There are large bodies of work for optimization of state space control theory that I strongly suspect as a lot of crossover for AI, and at least has very similar mathematical structure. e.g. optimization of state space control coefficients

I don't know, it's all probability in the dataset that makes one optimization strategy better over another. Git annex iirc does file level dedupe. That would take care of most of the problem if you're storing binaries that a

by digikata 1y ago
I would think that git would need a parallel storage scheme for binaries. Something that does binary chunking and deduplication between revisions, but keeps the same merkle referencing scheme as everything else.
