In a non-pedantic context, yes. Otherwise, no. A) "I stayed in England" And you actually traveled in Scotland and Wales but England was synonymous with UK for you. Technically incorrect of course. B) "I travell

Really? Tell me again, what happened to that dude ... what was his name? I think they used to be on TV. Can't quite place them. Please help me out.

Everquest looked sooooo good back then. Man! No more Meridian 59! Why did you have to destroy my memories? :) It's like looking at the first DivX encoded movie that was soooooo good vs. VideoCD/LaserDisc. And then you look at it t

Regarding the MTP, if you haven't found out why yet, the `--spec-draft-p-min 0.8` . Something to play with and of course it's non-deterministic and depends on both the model itself and whatever you're actually throwing at it

Well we also have an AI first code base, new product 160k "LoC" by the same measure. Not even a year old. That 1.9m code base, within the same time frame as the 160k was created? <10k by the same measure. 10k I can comfortably

Really? I just did the LoC measure that isn't "official" but actually closer to how AI would read it: I.e. simply actual lines. Never mind "context window". Just in the actual source folder there are 1.9 million lin

Haha, OK, so it processes input tokens at 55t/s if started like the 12B. That's so slow that I don't even have the patience to wait for the context of the session I aborted mid-processing to test this, to load. Heck loading t

If I use the 12B Unified (dense) model I mentioned without MTP, then I get 37t/s, input ~700t/s. It's all still quite frustrating in the end, like a Claude from a very long time ago by now but usable. If I want 64k context, I

It was actually great. I have like a non-AI box so to speak 8GB VRAM, co-incidentally from a gaming PC ... All the previous models that were "frontier level, just try it!" but wouldn't run at all in agentic mode, including pr

Musk has 10+ years of history we can go by that says: Nobody has to follow anything closely to know that he will just say whatever he wants to say and you should give a rats ass about it timeline wise. Now, do not get me wrong: I got fricki

Can you tell me what the difference is between "technologically" and "safely" standpoint? "Technologically we can do self-driving, we'll just be killing any person that happens to stand in our way" does no

Your feeling might be different. But for me, body temperature and feeling is way different from the air I'm breathing. I can be, actually want to be toasty warm under the blanket. But I want the air I am breathing to be fresh and cold.

18C is more like the maximum OK temperature. But then I also gotta sleep without PJs when its that hot. Still a blanket for comfort. Best sleep from my experience? It's usually about 5C at the thermostat, which is farthest from the w

And "From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.". Uttered by Musk in 2015. So ... yeeeeaaah.

I'm not sure why you all have issues with CC commenting too much. My rules in the CLAUDE.md specify that comments are evil, never comment unless there is an actual need to explain a WHY and since I do read what CC writes, if I spot

See I can totally understand the excavator story. Would love that too. Picking currants? I dread that every year. Same with the raspberries and the cherries and ... It's a chore, I really don't like it at all. Especially having to

It's not enjoyable in 80+ with RH 60%+ either. Grass grows pretty well. Too well actually but mowing it stinks. In the morning the grass is still wet and sticky. By the time you can mow it properly, the sun is blaring down on top of th

They didn't want me to highlight. They just wanted everyone to do highlighting and post-it-noting. And it's not like there was some sort of actual objective or teaching. Who knows, maybe I would've "gotten it" :sh

by tharkun__ 2mo ago
Hard agree on highlighting. I never understood it. Well highlighting and also the post-it notes marking of pages. It's just too much. Never worked for me. I only did it when I was forced to by teachers! But not for the reasons you&#x27

This very well may be AI written. Then again, the stuff our PMs output, all pre-AI, now would all qualify as "AI written". There are certain writing styles, which even if you wrote them all yourself, most people will now attribute

That's a fair enough thing to say but then also setting the default to 7 days is no longer a necessity, because security researchers can automate running a new version through an accelerated time sandbox, can't they? And no they c

Cat and mouse like the sibling says ;) Like if you start changing system time, I'll keep a log of system time to detect any "jumps" and then "behave normally" if I detect this. Of course I'll run the code that

From my own experiments with local, low VRAM model use vs. what I'm used to from using Claude at work is that being good at "coding" is of no use, if you're worse at "tool calling" as coding in an agentic way r

And if every malware developer worth their salt now introduces code to "wait out" that period of time, we're back to square one. This assumes that they employ clandestine enough techniques that you have to actually install, w

Caveat: I have not been able to try that model locally, so no personal experience. Running this locally at usable speeds would be cost prohibitive for personal coding use for me. But if we can believe you that it's doing what a Claude

This reminds me of Xiaomanyc. When I first found the channel I was like "wow that dude speaks so many languages so well!". He does not. I can't really judge for most languages of course, but for the ones I can, he really isn&

Hah, this reminds me of my "ancient past". This must have been CS 1.4 or 1.5 times. I had terrible internet. 36k modem times, super high (ish - 150+ms at the very least, been a while, don't quote me, maybe it was way higher e

Exactly, as in, really, will they? Where and at what price, especially across an actual enterprise that needs to deploy them to lots of devs? There's much more than just the actual model. Of course my numbers are a sample of one and I
