That's my personal suspicion, why there's no real coding tutorials like that on YouTube. Having so many eyes to basically rip to shreds your output is probably the reason.

> I'm sure I would have loved to have a real phone as a toddler, but my sister and I got a lot of mileage out of our Fisher Price phone, making lots of pretend calls, which was probably better for our developing brains than a real phone.

I was promised a PC at around 11 years. I think for months (or even more than a year) I fantasized about, what I could do with it. Read some books, that I had access to. Understood practically nothing, but that didn't stop me from dreaming about the bright future. The book might have been "Amiga E programming reference" and it had two chapters dedicated to the blitter and sprite programming. I reread those chapters many times, trying to imagine how to make a simple game with it.

The promised PC came, but it was a work decommissioned 486 at the time, when everyone else was upgrading to Pentiums 200 to play the latest Lara Croft. My sister was bummed out that no software from friends worked on it.

I somehow was able to make a very simple arkanoid game anyway, in C and OpenGL software renderer. Pretty sure, that the main reason I managed to do anything, was all the time spent expecting the PC and imagining possibilities.

Where's that figure comning from? Last time I checked (could be the 3.6 Qwen 27b) single token needed 32kb

I still can't fathom my company application security decision. Found pretty damning requests in our logs. Escalated. Expected it would result in at least reporting the TOS break from the originating place (one of cloud providers). Instead of that, they just went: "yeah, but we don't have logs". Provided them. "Yeah, but that ip doesn't resolve". I matched real ones from the load balancer. "There could just be many of them". There was one. When I had all the evidence gathered, they looked at me and finally told:

- It's just an Independent Security Researcher.

- So that's it? You will do no action?

- Correct

It is? I still found it invaluable, when having a lot of externally managed knowledge. Basically the only gate before it goes on a certain failure, when dealing with proprietary libraries, tools and services

Brain fog? This might be a legitimate symptom worth seeing a doctor for

Supposedly having over 125 (130-ish) can affect "normal functioning", it's very counterintuitive, but I'd recommend to just go through common psychology checks for that case.

Have you ever gotten an IQ test?

Care to share any details? I'm about to check the 2.6b lfm on document editing.

It does? I wonder, what it does to the gut biome then

The needle benchmarks show, that models extended context works for the part, that can be explained as: "I can access/adress that part of the input".

I have no idea, why in that context, the number of attention heads isn't mentioned. Models have a limited set of them and obviously, a model can focus at N max things at a time, which has to put an upper bound of long context support in some way. There's just more things to lose focus to (or, mismanage the limited attention heads resources - per token)

I have a feeling this comment will make history

It's a mcp, so connects quite easily to agents. With mcpo, I also connected it to open-webui (which has better support for OpenAI style tools/functions). Used it in claude code with that mcp plugin set-up too. Only ever used it for managing homelab information, but it met initial expectations. 27b is a great model, if grounded. The query about physical hosts and routing... I haven't found a single hallucination (altough Codex 5.6 as a reviewer mentioned something was wrong with some parts, and those were exactly the never properly documented ones. Codex/gpt had extra knowledge, because it was the conversation I used to set it up).

With 3.6 27b, I just stopped changing local models and started tinkering with things on top (like mem0). Feels genuinely useful and more than a toy

Also explains why we like music with two simultaneous distinct sections (bass + the rest). One without the other doesn't feel as complete
