Intel has been making pretty good progress on efficiency the last year and efficiency is the name of the game, you basically can't do performance without it. I think Intel will rise again.

First and foremost, China isn't energy-limited like the US is. A modern grid, lost of cheap power coming online every day. The worlds most advance ultra-high voltage transport links are tying the deserts in the west to the cities in th

We got it. I can't say it has helped much, though. Fable is still completely useless for securing code. Opus does an OK job, though.

The Chinese lifted themselves put of poverty. The state just stopped keeping them down. The people deserve the credit. Not the state.

The question wasn't if Zuck has been successful, it was if Meta has succeeded at anything new. When was the last time Meta made something original, brought to market and had success with it?

They can’t follow instructions at all. They are a year behind Claude.

fwiw; I had unexplained anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep and cognitive decline as a post-COVID induced histamine intolerance with a few bonus attributes. High amounts of histamine would accumulate in my mast cells then get released in 3-5am, un

I worked on an OSS project and we had a volunteer working from Tobago. His computer wasn't working properly so we sent him a new one. It got smashed by customs. Literally.

For me, the appeal of local compute is first and foremost confidentiality and having the possibility to run my 200K documents through an LLM just to see what happen without having to consider the cost.

This post conflates scalability and performance. PostgreSQL is fast on smallish systems, but try adding more CPU cores and you'll see performance gains will not be linear at all. Modern server can ship with 256 or more cores and a sing

fwiw, I've had good luck scaling git, specially doing clones, in the HTTP layer, using Varnish. this was CI bringing Github Enterprise to it's knees.

We had a SCSI zip-drive at our uni and it was a brilliant way to drag megabytes of content home. Even though I had amazing internet (2Mbit shared by 100+ ppl), the zip drive would still be a good way of getting stuff home. Then I got to exp

You have to deal with a lot more stuff. You have to order/pay for a server (capex), mount it somewhere, wire up lights-out-mgmt and recovery and do a few more tasks that the provider has already done. Then, say if the motherboard gives

MoE is excellent for the unified memory inference hardware like DGX Sparc, Apple Studio, etc. Large memory size means you can have quite a few B's and the smaller experts keeps those tokens flowing fast.

We've been pushing 1.5Tbps with TLS in lab settings. I've yet to see any other HTTP product being able to saturate these kind of networking. There is lots to be said about threading, but it is able to push a lot bandwidth. And yes

we're not at all a huge company. we're 80 people with a lot on our plates trying to juggle this on top of everything else. but I truly appreciate the feedback. I'll reach our to the team working on this and see if I can make

I feel like this is captures the point very well. Google removing this software, means that for 99% of the users on the platform, the choice to play this gets taken away from user.

Varnish Software released hitch to facilitate TLS for varnish-cache. Now that Varnish has been renamed, Varnish Software will keep what has been referred to as a downstream version or a fork, which has TLS built in, basically taking the TLS

fwiw; Varnish Software still maintains and supports hitch, but we can't say we see a bright future for it. Both the ergonomics and the performance of not being integrated into Varnish are pretty bad. It was the crutch we leaned as it w

in my experience this has a lot more moving parts than it should.

I think it is interesting that these pieces of software are now being inspired by Midnight Commander and are being built by people who never worked with or experiences the original, Norton Commander.

the whole point of varnish software keeping a public version of "vinyl cache" as "varnish cache" with TLS is to give people a way to access a FOSS version with native TLS. I think TLS is table-stakes now, and has been fo

The problem is that the the LLM can't distinguish between data and instruction so there is just so much the harness can do.

Prompt injection is a problem if your agent has access to anything. The local models are quite weak here.

Yes. This is my experience as well. The software quality is generally horrible. It surely has improved a lot over the last couple of months, but it is still pretty horrible. It is quite normal for me to have to force-close Claude Desktop.

I’ve raised money here and there. Never really had issues with the EU regulations. But the lack of risk capital and investor brainpower has been a huge problem.

This is quite a low quality post. There is nothing of substance here. Just hot air. The only software I've seen designed and implemented by OpenClaw is moltbook. And I think it is hard to come up with a bigger pile of crap than Moltboo
