Pretty amazing for being trained from scratch, to have ~Qwen 3.8 27b quality with such an increase in tok/s performance. Excited to try it out and see how snappy it is.

SPOILER!!

The general twist is that she doesn’t really come off as the villain of this film (though she certainly does not come off in a flattering light) - her current husband it turns out is actually a pretty terrifying sociopath who seems to possibly have a bit of a cocaine habit (inferred from the excessive sniffles and insane demeanor) - and he really becomes sort of the films main antagonist.

All of this is completely subjective so someone else could come away with a different take, but if there was a twist (which I would not say this is a film with an overt twist) - it would be this.

For me it was a window into insane wealth and privilege and the types of lives these people lead and the engines that power their sense of self importance and delusions. I do think it was a phenomenal documentary.

Try the Qwen 3.8 flash next model on DwarfStar - you will be very surprised. I’ve been using the 4 bit quant almost exclusively after having DS v4 flash be my daily driver. Qwen is faster and seems to be much better at coding tasks.

There’s a popular hologram by Walter Spierings that I think highlights what makes holograms unique: https://youtu.be/K-ahG_Q2xRc

It’s a microscope, that in the correct angle allows you to actually look down the viewfinder and see what the microscope was displaying.

This works because the hologram is recording the interference pattern of the photons that existed in the actual scene.

I’m really fascinated by these types of holograms and think they hold quite a bit of artistic potential.

Sooo I haven't really been super impressed with the needle models before, but this is very impressive. It transcribed multiple sentences I gave it with complex timing and words and in such a small footprint, I'm super impressed. Excited to see what types of things can be built with something like this, the performance seems very good.

llama.cpp sycl and vllm xmx work is pretty incredible right now - you just gotta build it with some extra flags

This account was created only a couple weeks ago and seems to be spamming this closed model, seems it might be a bot?

does anyone understand what this part actually means?

"The near-$42 billion net loss included a roughly $34 billion accounting charge that reflected an increase in the estimated value of financing that could eventually turn into Anthropic shares, rather than money the company spent running its business."

Is the excalidraw api constantly changing?

You would probably be surprised by how many jobs require that you use AI - I even had an interview where it was strongly encouraged to use it during the technical phase. I guess what I’m getting at is, for many people this isn’t really a choice.

Is that true though? 5g is significantly faster than starlink
