Wow Beej it's you!! I loved your guide to network programming in undergrad <3 you're probably not part of the problem here, lol.

Isn't this just solved by better student teacher ratios, which you could totally have in public schools if they were funded better and societally we valued teachers more? What are private schools doing that you couldn't implement

Have you found Gemma 4 31B better than Qwen 3.6 27B Q8? I just started using Qwen + Pi agent and it's great, but "which model works best" is still totally crowdsourced and I was going off of peoples' opinions on reddit.

You should probably disclaimer that you're the author of swival.dev, but nice project :)

+10000 that Azure is a steaming pile of shit. Like what's this -- `azcopy` broken at head, and the working one doesn't guarantee correctness after a copy (99.6% copied successfully! good luck figuring out what went wrong!) compare

Agree it doesn't generate wealth. It's explicitly a store of wealth. Investment is a weird term because most people would consider keeping cash or cash equivalents (gold) to be investments, even if they don't generate wealth.

It has utility though: unlike the dollars in your mattress, it can't be printed into oblivion by your central bank. It is relatively portable, and people have flocked to it as a store of value especially during periods of socioeconomic

They are used in thin-film solar panel development. Not sure anyone has cracked the big problem with them, which is durability.

I tried mapping back to closest token embeddings. Here's what I got: global_step = 1377; phase = continuous; lr = 5.00e-03; average_loss = 0.609497 current tokens: ' Superman' '$MESS' '.");' &

I'm similarly puzzled by "uncured bacon" which afaik still uses naturally occurring nitrites. How they're allowed to call it uncured when it's clearly still cured is beyond me.

A lot of people use them together (cursor for IDE and claude code in the terminal inside the IDE). In terms of performance, their agents differ. The base model their agents use are the same, but for example how they look at your codebase or

Unrelated: my man, I loved your C vision library back in the day.

Cool stuff! Is the goal of this project personal learning, inference performance, or something else? Would be nice to see how inference speed stacks up against say llama.cpp

OK but also note there's also not a "both sides" to everything. Some stuff can just suck.

Tesla could have more camera data in sum (that's not even clear - transmitting and storing data from all the cars on the road is no easy task - L4 companies typically pysically remove drives and use appliances to suck data off the hard

I guess. But bringing new products to market requires distribution, and do you have a better way for people to crack that? Targeted advertising through say, Instagram, has enabled a lot of small businesses whom would otherwise struggle to a

Higher willingness to pay does not matter unless the market is segmented. So if the tech gets cheaper, unless they explicitly make an expensive "oft-cleaned" tier and a less expensive "less-oft-cleaned" tier, what matter

That makes sense. Honest question - what's the harm in being targeted by ads? Is it just scrolling youtube more often than you should? Or is there a nefarious side that I'm failing to consider? For me the thing I hate about locati

I guess my question is - will Waymo really cause that much more tire noise vs today? Wherever car tires are making noise, I doubt Waymo is going to generate that much _additional_ noise.

I agree in principle that a privately run company could use information in nefarious ways internally, and that barring any additional knowledge you should not trust them. That being said, I have an anecdote as a former googler: the reality

I don't think the Jaguars are particularly spacious or nice. They just got a good deal on the platform. If anything, given the commodity nature of vehicles I'd expect car quality to improve. Cleanliness doesn't seem that rela

They won't have to if they use sliding power doors (the geely cars have them). They should have had them for the jaguar generation :) Dooring people aside, what do you do if someone just leaves the door open when they leave their ride?

Totally fair to be concerned about pervasive surveillance for the _potential_ of privacy violation. Not sure what to do about that. That being said, just speaking with some knowledge of current state: the scans don't live forever. At t
