It is perfectly well engineered content for the target audience ahead of the IPO. Gotta do something to push your stock options...

The funny part is that you can do such a youtube clone with something outdated like Qwen 3.5 35B, no need for the latest SOTA frontier trillion weight model.

I'd assume that there are many more engineers from the valley on HN thus the votes are accordingly. Look at the sibling comment from danpalmer - he is a Google engineer and thus he has an interest of pushing Google products and trashing open weight models. HY-World is a real 3D model and plays in a totally different league, not Genie 4.

Feel free to replace $clever with any name of your convenience.

The problem starts, when places like FOSDEM which originally where slightly left-leaning-anarchist (in a positive sense) start talking about censorship but only mention Russia, China and Iran. Maybe you should google for Jaques Baud, who is actually trapped in Brussels and invite him? Yes, yes, I know, Chinese LLMs and Tianamen square. Well, go and ask chatGPT for the crimes of presidents of the nothern area between Atlantic and Pacific... The problem is the global brainwash.

The CPU is for mobile phones. An Nvidia H200 has 4.8TB/s. An RTX 5090 has 1.8TB/s. Both use ~700W - not comparable with a phone.

SEO was yesterday, now it is AIO - you will have to wait longer for the results and likely you will need a lot more cash: pay TIME for the ads, wait until next model release and see what sticks, then rinse and repeat.

As a user I still prefer .pi right there in my home directory.

In 2 years from now we will be at 400%. https://xkcd.com/605/ Also, it is called kernels (you have nitpick in your username)

> As with many conflicts this one goes back a long way. Ukraine gave up its nukes to Russia in exchange for a non aggression pact that the invasion broke.

From the Guardian (12 days ago): "Kyiv’s decision to honour second world war fighters who killed about 100,000 Poles has revived simmering tensions". Bandera was a Nazi collaborator and today's Ukraine politics worships Bandera. Lots of streets are renamed to honor him. Eastern Ukrainians are considered second class - or as some politicians said: "There are 2 million people too many".

The US (look up Nuland and her quote about 'fuck the EU') fueled with $5B the nationalism in Ukraine. Now imagine, the US would fuel with $50B the nationalism in Belgium and the the flemish would attack wallonie. You know what would happen? France would support the wallonie. Nothing to see here.

With a M5 16c 48GB and Qwen 3.6 35B Q4 I get up to 1900 PP/s and 80 TG/s. With an Nvidia 5090 I get 7800 PP/s and 280 TG/s.

Together with pi mono I wouldn't want to go back to Claude & Co. Speed, quality of the answers, short answer times at any time of day - once you have eaten from the fruit your definition of SOTA will change...

For reference, I do software development since 30 years, I am not vibe coding the umpteenth todo list.

This and we don't know yet what happened. It could have structurally collapsed - very unlikely, it could have uncommanded retracted, or maintenance has overridden the protections. I'd place my bets on #3, handling error in maintenance mode.

From the picture and the text this aircraft was parked at the gate. During a hard landing the nose gear may collapse but not while being parked. And while parked there are protections to prevent retraction. However, these can be overridden by maintenance.

I just spent the last two weeks digging into workflow state engines and temporal was one of the candidates. It is a VC backed fork of Cadence. The got 0.3B funding and whatever positive I read about them on the net I take with a big spoon of salt. Just my 2 cents.

For many models the performance of llama.cpp on Mac is 20-40% lower than MLX. Did you try MLX? At least on HF there are MLX 2-bit quants. Unfortunately I have only 64GB, so I can't test it.
