I don't think it's acceptable, and I don't tip if I pay before I eat. Ironically, I also don't adjust the amount I tip at sit-down restaurants based on how the service was. I refuse to allow tipping to expand beyond where it was customary when I was growing up. There should be less tipping, not more. It should be outlawed entirely.

Unless the LLM has an SVG renderer in its toolbox, it's like asking a human to draw while blindfolded. It's amazing if they can do it well, but it's practically meaningless.

I'm generally pretty pro-AI, but I find this icky. Of course, I wouldn't have noticed except the whiteboard drawing seemed not quite right, so I'll probably be fooled in the future.

A fair point...

I thought the bug was a missing check for the COW flag, but looking at it again it seems it was missing both setting and checking the flag.

In CHERI, for example, pointers have permissions. The pointer to the COW memory would not have the "write" permission.

I could be misunderstanding the bug, of course.

How much pain must there be until people realize we actually do need memory safety?

The parameters in the original gpt-oss-20B model are "post-trained with MXFP4 quantization", so there just isn't much to gain by quantizing to Q8. If you look inside the Q8 model, most of the parameters are MXFP4 anyway.

Though, looking inside my "gpt-oss 20B MXFP4 MoE" model, it looks to also be quantized the same way as the Q8, so that was probably an overstatement on my part.

Still, the Q8 is 12.1 GB and the FP16 is 13.8 GB. Not the ~1:2 ratio you might expect.
