Next help us normies run GLM 5.3 on our potato computers. Wouldn't that be nice!

It's not speedy. I get 1-3 tokens per second. The machine: CPU: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Processor RAM: 128gb GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16gb (I typo'd the GPU above) (This is via Ollama on Ubuntu.) But 1-3 tokens per s

qwen3-coder-next runs fine on my consumer grade nvidia 4070. Performance is not spectacular, but it's only a little bit slower than a properly-fit model.

Can someone explain what the current state of model benchmarking is? If you try to look up what the best locally runnable model is, you get a bunch of random blog posts using idiosyncratic criteria to rank things seemingly based on one dude

For All Mankind aired an episode today that movingly commemorated the fictional lead character Ed Baldwin's Apollo 10-like in-universe mission on the same day that the real world Artemis II mission which also strongly resembles Apollo

You're right, it absolutely does make sense. And yet it annoys me anyway. There's been research by linguists (John McWhorter comes to mind) analyzing this phenomenon and it basically just comes down to the fact that as we age, we

Your reply did exactly what I complained about: expanding the definition of emulator to cover reimplementing a network protocol. You're not wrong that "server emulator" is a generically correct use of the term emulation, in t

I'm a fan of UO and I love seeing more projects like this. Nice work! Obligatory nitpicky aside, a time-honored tradition of HN: I've long been irritated by the use of the term "server emulator" in gaming contexts. Techn

I'm broadly with you on disliking OP's comment because it is needlessly negative, but I don't think it quite rises to the standard of a personal attack. Accusing the author of introducing slop into the language by coining (or

The comments section on Ars is particularly depressing. I've been posting there for two decades and watched it slowly devolve from a place where thoughtful discussions happened to now just being one of the worst echo chambers on the in

Vanilla JS is very powerful and has the features you need to build SPAs without a big framework. Proxies and mutation observers are great for maintaining state, Updating the DOM yourself is fine, view transitions are awesome, etc. The only

Any plans to make an Electron or Tauri version? Also personally I do not prefer to play podcasts with a podcast app. I just want it to download the files to a directory which I then sync with another audio player. Does your app make that wo

Other critiques aside, I wish there was more effort put into developing accessible CAPTCHAs that do not require JavaScript. Whatever its merits or flaws are, this CAPTCHA is yet another CAPTCHA that requires JS.

The TL;DR answer to this question is there is a lot of intellectual junk food out there and our monkey brains are pretty vulnerable to succumbing it just as we crave literal junk food and resisting those cravings is very difficult. If only

A well-functioning organization would not devalue people who are more judicious about their use of time, preferring productivity over unnecessary socializing. But while what you're describing does not describe a well-functioning organi

At a certain point it just doesn't make sense to over-optimize for being highly interruptible, when the sacrifice (productivity) isn't worth the gain (satisfy outdated notions of office etiquette designed by extroverts who want to

Profits are a strong incentive to innovate. We should subsidize those profits but not do it the stupidest possible way by making consumers pay insane drug prices.

I have looked and I don't buy it. I think any realistic transition to a single payer healthcare system in the United States is going to result in us still being the most expensive health care system in the world for lots of complex dow

The small tweak = new patent loophole is easy to solve with patent abuse reform. The sting of the reduced profit margin by stopping patent abuse can be offset by making prizes for making stuff generic bigger than the profits they would get

While I am very enthusiastic about reforming our system to a single payer system, one fact about the US that is unique that a lot of people on my side of the issue need to understand better is that making our healthcare system more socializ
