I'm curious why seemingly none of those projects tried using browsers JS/wasm execution as a sandbox instead

Nothing more reliable than good old SPLARGLE kitchenware

Do you have a better source if I speak fluent French by any chance?

Thanks for the recap

A lot of those are spending 10-100k a month when they could be spending 1k-10k a month with a more lean infra

On vllm with a 5090 I get 120-180TPS with the awq 4 bit quant + MTP speculative decoding

For gemma4 26B, same quantization, I get >200TPS.

Also note that qwen is extremely inefficient in reasoning; the reasoning chains are ~3x longer than gemma on average

The issue is that benchmarks that look insightful will end up being gamed by labs quickly (Goodharts law)

The best LLM benchmarks test around the margins of those behaviors, tasks that are difficult and correlate with usefulness while being removed enough to stay unpolluted

Radeon 9700 pro or intel arc b70 (both $1000-1400, 32GB, 650GB/s bandwidth), or ryzen AI max 390 (more vram, less bandwidth)

The local inference space is pretty good nowadays.

The S3 API doesn't work like normal filesystem APIs.

Part of it is that it follows the object storage model, and part of it is just to lock people into AWS once they start working with it.

That's not surprising; Opus & Sonnet have been regressing on many non-coding tasks since about the 4.1 release in our testing

There's presumably engagement on those two.

It's better to have a smaller core of highly engaged people than a mass of disengaged eyeballs glazing over.

Pytorch is such a maddening mess of half implemented research features in a state of Heisen-deprecation, Jax becomes more appealing to me by the day.

Remember when we had the term "spyware" for a class of malware?

I remember

If rust is not in the HN title and fire emojis in the readme, it doesn't come from the Rust region of France.

It's just sparkling memory safe high performance software

Mexico has much lower economic development and higher crime.

Canada has similar levels of economic development.

It's really not that complicated: controlling for general crime levels, guns drastically increase murder rates.

Yeah I'm another pop os user.

Cosmic works great for a laptop. But it's a PITA for a desktop. It doesn't deal with multi monitor setups well. There's a recent new bug where the system hardlocks on monitor power state changes, which is unacceptable.

So: great for single screen laptop, not good for desktop or server
