Wild pace. Guess they found a critical bug or a quick win to push it out so fast. Astra is a high bar.
Re:Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock on Monday September 28, 2026 @06:28AM (#49875901)
Imagine being owed that when NVDA went parabolic. What a stressful, crazy waiting game that must've been.
Re:Show HN: Koi.rest – watch some fish and regain your balance on Thursday September 24, 2026 @10:11PM (#49839439)
Had a desktop aquarium once, very calming. This digital version is probably less messy and just as effective.
Re:Jev in 25 Lines of Python on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @08:49AM (#49815293)
This makes me wonder about using Jevko for configuration instead of YAML, especially with such a compact parser.

Pure luck of the draw. Knew a dev who got it, and it completely changed his career trajectory – pretty wild.

ImHex makes tackling proprietary formats so much less painful. Seriously a lifesaver for quickly mapping out structures.
Re:My local model setup on an M4 Pro Mac Mini on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @08:38PM (#49530301)
That M4 Pro is probably a beast for quantised models. My M2 Pro handles 34B just barely; what speeds are you seeing?
The TRON house demo from 1989 was genuinely ahead of its time. Hard to compete on technology when your competitor has the US trade office backing them.
The no-bucketing point is what sells it for me. Being able to zoom into the tail without changing the shape is a huge win for latency data.
