I don't think so. Some times a speech interface is the call.

Same, and the fanaticism of Rust practitioners has kept me clear away from it too.

More interested in Zig at the moment.

I wish they would stop calling it "a one man start up" and just say "self-employed"
Ok CAD is great but I want CAM
lol, I am kind of in the same mode of thought but just kind of expect it not to happen.

There was a really shitty movie starring Jared Leto I think about the same problem. Being the last guy to miss out on being immortal

Where is this project located? Asking for a friend...

How can we lock down a TV, still use it but trust we aren't being spied on?
Re:Speculative Decoding in vLLM on AMD GPUs on Monday September 07, 2026 @07:55AM (#49597269)
Thankfully, there are still people willing to jump on the R9700 bandwagon and get a vLLM fork working. If you have an RDNA4 card check out https://hub.docker.com/r/stilldeadcode/vllm-radiance
I think messing up teaches people to straighten up. But hey I’m a Millenial, maybe I’m out of touch now.
Buy yourself 6 AMD r9700's an older 5965wx thread ripper with mob, 128GB of ddr4 and run deepseek v4 flash lossles. Then pocket the other $6000
Omg C, so insecure! You should be ashamed of my insecurity!
I'd really like to see a 45B-ish dense model ready for a dual GPU setup. Something with a little more intelligence while still within the range of some higher end local setups.
I wish we could stop sensationalizing this about the AI and really just understand the incompetence of the labs disabling an internet connection in a sandbox.
So I always make sure I take a crack at doing what I want first. Then I ask for an AI review and it usually has a more efficient way to get the job done.

For example I had a working linear decay velocity boost function added to a godot scene and it's suggested refactoring actually reduced lines of code just today. So kind of happy when that works out, but yes I also applied the changes manually so I would grok them and hopefully remember it better.

I wonder if this would work with the oculus pro?
Re:Neutrino-1 8B on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @06:40AM (#49081922)
So I'd like to see a Nemotron3 Ultra converted to a 1.58bit format then have them retrain on the open dataset.

Re:Qwen3.8 is launching and going open-weight soon on Sunday July 19, 2026 @08:15AM (#48967459)
I have only been using 3.6 27B for coding. Is mem0 for agents like Openclaw or Hermes? How are you using it?
Re:Qwen3.8 is launching and going open-weight soon on Sunday July 19, 2026 @08:00AM (#48967343)
Curious, do you find the 3.5 120B sized MoE works better than the dense 3.6 27B?
Re:Qwen 3.8 Max Preview on Sunday July 19, 2026 @07:47AM (#48967251)
I have been running 3.6 27b on a dual AMD r9700 setup using Opencode and Matt Pocock's skills workflow for writing Golang CLIs. It's decent, but won't win any awards on code architecture. I guess you can try to AGENTS.md the deficits but I am just exploring its raw Opencode experience right now. Much slower than an API but still 3x times faster than I can read. Tuning it in with a community chat template and a specific penalty for repeats was the sauce needed to get it to work. I can probably start loop daddying it now over the tickets Matt's flow creates.

So yeah, it's the best local model I've seen. I am going to try the Qwopus 3.6 fine tune soon with the same spec and tickets and compare the output of both.

Re:How I use HTMX with Go on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @06:28PM (#48913744)
I love Alex Edwards. His books and Learn go with tests were my first introduction to the language. Still recommend to this day.

I'm feel inspired to convert some old stuff to HTMX

A model harness can launch a bagillion sub agents and we still call it one shotting.

Re:My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:57AM (#48844474)
I mean I wouldn’t want to work for Andrew Kelley either. Doesn’t mean I don’t see utility in zig. Taking swings at a pretty toxic culture (silicon valley) while refreshing also paints a target on your back. This isn’t unhinged shit though so it hasn’t dissuaded me from learning Zig
Re:My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:43AM (#48844297)
Yeah and Andrew Kelley is anti AI for his project because it’s counter to the projects learning goals. I think it’s perfectly fine for a project to determine if AI contributions are accepted. Maybe that means change is slower in that project, maybe that means things are more deliberate too.

OSS projects can survive not being on GitHub, Python was something like 20 years was not on gh. If the service has severe outages and there are alternatives why wouldn’t you move? Most people aren’t contributing to the runtime anyways, they are just using the language.
