I recently got a refurbished Strix Halo 128GB desktop for a steal ($2200) and I have a feeling it's going to be my last PC purchase for the next 3-5 years. Who knows how long this RAMpocalypse will last. My Lunar Lake 32GB laptop is al

I for one prefer batteries-included. Decision fatigue for every cobbled together package takes its toll. Having a single, trustworthy, good-enough solution for so many things makes my life easier.

I'm so excited about these two new models. Qwen 3.6 27B has been my sweet spot so I cannot wait to try 3.8. Glimmer looks really strong, I'm encouraged that Meta compared it to 3.6 in the model card! Exciting times!

Strix Halo, 128GB RAM. I got a refurbished Corsair AI Workstation for a smoking price ($2100) about two months ago. Lucky timing that it was in stock.

35B MoE is certainly a good and fast local model. I find 27B dense to be quite a bit smarter, so I daily drive that. I wish there was a ~100B MoE with maybe 10B active. It would be super smart and fast!

One of my mantras for decades has been: make change easy. Once you invest in great CI/CD, you can change stuff quickly and reliably. Then you can easily fix/roll back production issues. The dev team doesn't fear production de

SO MUCH THIS. I have Strix Halo with 128GB RAM and was a large and fast model like 122B A10B. Here's hoping!

I always define a primary key, integer or otherwise, and prefer the be explicit and consistent.

CREATE TABLE ... STRICT WITHOUT ROWID is my default, I don't know why I'd ever do otherwise.

I think I got lucky -- look for "revival" series on their web site. I happened to see it one time and pulled the trigger.

$4k is pretty darn spendy. I recently purchased a refurbished Corsair AI Workstation with almost the same hardware (same chip, same 128GB RAM, but only 1TB storage) for $2160. Pretty good deal! Codex and I wrote a Linux driver to report the

A Linux kernel module and userspace app to read the performance level of my Corsair AI Workstation PC (Strix Halo). Corsair only ships a Windows on screen display app and I was flying blind. AI helped me look over the Windows installer, dec
