Re:Qwen3.8-Max: A New Bar for Coding and Cowork on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @05:58AM (#49166373)
It is really a difficult choice in front of me: DeepSeek v4 flash 0731@q2 vs Qwen 3.{6,8} 27B@fp8 on a 96GB VRAM server.
Re:Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now on Monday July 20, 2026 @03:21AM (#48975320)
But Swift has a stable ABI which neither Zig nor Rust could provide.

Why not using Swift?

Re:If AI writes your code, why use Python? on Monday May 11, 2026 @10:12PM (#48103384)
Perhaps we could do it in Python in the first pass for validation purpose. And then vibe rewrite it in Haskell.
Hope that the `metered connection` option was toggled on.

Re:I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Handed Over on Saturday February 21, 2026 @09:36AM (#47101223)

TLDR: The video got VAEed, and we are the discriminators being fooled.
In Chinese, it always added something like "For study/research purpose only. Please delete after 48 hours." This is what those volunteers added in subtitles of (pirated) movies/shows.

Looks like a variant of iron-air battery project to me.
Re:Kai Fu Lee's New AI Company: Yi-Open Source on Monday November 06, 2023 @03:25AM (#38160025)
The model card for Yi-34B included benchmark scores in several Chinese-oriented evaluation sets, CMMLU, C-eval and GAOKAO.
Yeah. I guess most of the Chinese propagandists received training imported from Russia.
ChatGPT told me:

> Yes, Nazi propaganda did often refer to the Allies, particularly the UK and the US, using terms such as “Anglo-American” or “Anglo-Saxon” in a pejorative sense. This language reflected the Nazis’ racist ideology, in which they posited a hierarchy of races with Aryans at the top and viewed others, including Anglo-Saxons, as lesser or enemies. This also served to foster animosity and dehumanize the Allies among the German populace. However, such language was not universally used by all within the Nazi regime, and the terminology often varied depending on the context and specific propaganda objectives at the time.

Fun fact: hardcore xenophobic narratives in China has been using the term Anlgo-Saxons (昂撒), in recent years.
Re:Llama.cpp: Full CUDA GPU Acceleration on Tuesday June 13, 2023 @01:31AM (#36305837)
Thinking what Apple sells is a GPU bundled with a large amount of VRAM and a free ARM CPU makes things easier to accept.

NVIDIA never sold a GPU with expandable memory, either.

It was kinda pro-trumpish to say that before Joe nailed the presidency.

Re:My 20 Year Career Is Technical Debt or Deprecated on Tuesday May 16, 2023 @11:42AM (#35963409)
When you are coding a dynamic library, and providing consistent ABI between versions is a thing, you could appreciate this.

Perhaps you may also appreciate PImpl/D_PTR etc.

I always wonder whether blockchain was designed to survive this.
