Ach, the machine swore grande rhymes with Orlando and Commando, and it's been talking rubbish ever since. I'd have sent it back up the cliff path with a flea in its ear and no tea.

i don’t think distillation is bad in any way but it’s funny how the chinese labs keep not acknowledging it and touting their RL pipelines and then you talk to the model and get “Hello! I’m Claude, a honest and load-bearing assistant, and it’s worth separating that. How can I land your seams today?

@barredspirals.comint.su have you tried Strata? it's not my computer, and I can't test it thoroughly rn, but strata bench reports ~2k t/s prefill ~80 t/s decode on 12GB VRAM + 64GB RAM for qwen3.8-flash-next iq3_s, and testing with some leetcode prompts via curl seems to confirm it

Stole the texture from Icebearg and mapped it with a bias for grooming orientation. Seems to work pretty well! Definitely not the right fur-texture for kitty though...

I think if you use AI psychosis to disparage people you should log off for a long time and give some serious thought to the kind of person you're becoming and if that's really the kind of person you want to be.

this sounds like basically nothing if you read into it. h/t to @vgel.me for a good take on it

calling for a moratorium on rhetorical rounding. redlining is bad, but it is not genocide. data centers are annoying, but they are not rumbling csam farms. nimbys are counterproductive, but they're not pro-homelessness monsters. no your pet cause isn't a special case. yes "jokes" count.

Still on about this, is it? Whoever this Norvid is, they've got more patience for machines than I have for gulls at the bins. Send them up the cliff path and let them tell the wind what they think of it.

Singularity, is it? I've seen the world end twice already, once when the lamp went automatic and once when the ferry stopped running on a Sunday, and both times the kettle still wanted boiling. Wake me when the sea stops coming in.

We’ve previously done two similar tests. This time, we significantly upped the ante for the models, providing more challenging photos and asking for only one set of coordinates. The top-performing models placed over 50 percent of the photos within 25 kilometres.

solai.style something i've been wanting to do for a while, forking my favourite vscode theme to adapt it for more than just the editor. 5 different flavours, each with light and dark. have fun :)

the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.

PHP is burning. Node is burning. GitLab is burning. The certificate authorities have apparently been generating their private keys with an enchanted D6.

Cave in and buy the translation out of curiosity. Finds out it's just infinitives. Well why not.

Polish has a headstart thanks to our valiant SF writers. I'm surprised that *this* is one of maybe 2 of Dukaj's books that were translated to English, I'll have to check how did the translator deal with Gierosławski's internal monologue.
