DGX Spark is a biiiiit costly but neat to hear! Do you know what kinda throughput you’re getting on that kinda setup? (I have a secondary problem of being “locked into” Claude Code by it being good enough for me, I’d probably need to invest

I'll take the opposite here. If someone put in frontier AI models from like .... last june I guess? in a box and let me run it with "decent" token throughput I would be happy. I think it's worth acknowledging that the po

Sony's WF-C510s are $70. The APPs are one thing but the base airpods I never really found to be that amazing quality-wise. The linkbud S's are comparable in pricing tho

Is there a good forum stack that is as moddable as phpbb was back in the day? Every Discourse instance I see seems _very_ similar so I've assumed there's not much of an interesting plugin ecosystem

Reading through the paper and... This seems to be a bit of "we're throwing a _bunch_ of inputs into this machine learning set and then pulling out outputs". The cyclone prediction thing is very interesting to me in particular

Maybe a decade ago there was chatter in the Purescript land about FRP in an applicative context. There's ways you can write your code such that you _know_ that certain blocks of code are going to be unaffected by input changes, and you

Yep it's not clear, and a bit of a case-by-case thing. Fortunately most codebases only need to do this in a handful of spots so you can really "just" look at a package and find a file that probably is safe. For example, numba

That's only part of the puzzle. Your program needs to branch on whether the dependency is installed or not! "Oh you don't have optional dependency? Then do X" needs to happen at runtime right?

I think this import flow tends to be the canonical one. I might recommend doing something like importing from something like `numpy.version` (or some other "random" very small utils package) so that the work done on file load is s

My glib assumption is you do that, you spend a bunch of tokens, and you end up with the same sort of mess you had the first time around. The sort of "eternal addition" glomming of code that leads to tears on older codebases... I d

I was thinking about this. Would it be possible for Anubis to have a code gen process that would make every deployment of itself sufficiently unique such that it's "annoying" to work around? I do wonder about the premise as w

That's the wrong read. It's more that it's easy to understand. "I will give you a 100 dollar bill, please give me a 10,000 yen bill."
