I use a 2-bit quant from Unsloth on my MBP M5 32GB of RAM. It run slower than molasses at 2 too/s kind of thing. Not sure it is usable at that rate for anything.

There is a very similar connection in the relation of skills/mcp/… and everything related to a prompt: they are all just a special-purposed prompt named differently. In a way, it reminds me of the concept in OOO: we give lots of n

When I was in the final year of college in 04-05 my dream would be to work at IBM. It still had the kind of prestige of R&D in the world. Fast forward a couple of years to 08-09, I don’t recall the event but IBM perception went down and

I’m interested in a general knowledge model (closed or open weight) and not coding specific. I want to plan for travel and trip. Do you have one of your favorite HN crowd?

I was in Tempe/Phoenix region during the peak of summer (August I remember). It was 115°F+ everyday. Even after dinner, when I wanted to stroll around outside the mall near ASU, it was 90°F. It was insane how hot it was. I’ve lived in

So I think the permissive license like Apache 2 without opening up for upstream contributions would be the way of future open source development. In a very similar way of SQLite. It definitely will help shield off a bunch of AI generated co

I use Bonsai 27B ternary on my 24GB MBP. But, I believe you definitely can run it with 18 or even 8GB.

I have had 2 encounters with Dr Norvig, all online. One, I randomly reach out for him to get a referral to a hiring manager at Google. He gave me a couple of email leads. Two, I emailed ask him about a writing piece regarding fuzzy logic an

I use coding agent but still don’t see the need to manage a swarm of them like this. Is there an actual use case for this or this is just for tokenmaxxing?

I read “how to win friends and influence others” many times but didn’t realize the main lesson is not to argue. That is until I reached 40. So, some lessons will take certain age to understand. I bet the OP is not in their 20s or 30s even.

This has been the the case all the time: most of our work are connecting pipes using glue code/duct tape so to speak. But now, we are delegating this to AI. Nothing new for me.

Maybe it is just me: I feel Anthropic most recent product announcements resemble more and more like what IBM tactic was at its high. For instance, the Watson AI hype after it defeated Kasparov. The difference is IBM actually wanted and let

I really appreciate the documentation. But, it appears to me that this is how I also use Claude daily and I thought I am just using it as a coding agent. The intro however sounds like a recipe to use Claude for everything else beyond a codi
