fswd··on What's the strongest AI model you can train on a laptop in five minutes?
Right now, Qwen3 4B
fswd··on Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?
I am reading this right now on my N100 desktop and it's 7W
fswd··on How many supernova explode every year?
I've seen two super nova in my life time. once in 2008 and another in 2012
fswd··on Serverless-registry: A Docker registry backed by Workers and R2
using this same architecture, it would be cool to build a serverless-git
fswd··on New 2GB Raspberry Pi 5 has 33% smaller die, 30% idle power savings
I probably have the same N100 miniforums and can only get it down to 7w. Is it possible you could share how you got it down to 3.6W and 4-8W?

I just got this N100 a few weeks ago, have it on a killawatt next to my desk.

fswd··on Cautionary tale on using Chase bank for indie business
my story with them: Chase bank refused to cash their own Chase cashiers check. Seems crazy but I had to get a lawyer involved.
fswd··on OpenDevin: An Open Platform for AI Software Developers as Generalist Agents
yes that's the whole point of arxiv to allow anyone to publish.
fswd··on Show HN: Open-sourced Webflow for your own app
> Some interesting challenges: 1. There is a React parser that is used to parse, insert the style, and serialize it back to code 2.

here's another approach I used with dynamic react

fswd··on New AI Training Technique Is Drastically Faster, Says Google
I've had the same exact experiences.
fswd··on Remix is better than GraphQL
this is so bizarre? I use GraphQL with Remix in my loader. It's a great combination. 7ms response from SQL. I can't understand the article. Sorry this person doesn't understand GraphQL nor Remix. might be AI generated
fswd··on Why we no longer use LangChain for building our AI agents
The graph code, when all done and said, is identical for all scenarios.
fswd··on Why we no longer use LangChain for building our AI agents
using LangGraph for a month, every single "graph" was the same single solution. The idea is cool, but it isn't solving the right problem.... (and the problem statement shouldn't be generating buzz on twitter. sorry to be harsh).

You could borrow some ideas from DSPy (which borrows from pytorch) their Module: def forward: and chain LM objects this way. LangGraph sounds cool, but is a very fancy and limited version of basic conditional statements like switch/if, already built into languages.

fswd··on KidPix
like something I'd use on my amiga 500 when I was a kid!
fswd··on Supabase Storage now supports the S3 protocol
I just finished implementing S3 file upload in nextjs to cloudflare R2 with a supabase backend. Wish I had been lazy and waited a day!
fswd··on It's official: Europe turns to the Falcon 9 to launch its navigation satellites
These have to be spy satellites. GPS is just a timing signal, in space. Technology we had 40 years ago. There is no way you need $100M to build this and have special government authorization to collect the debris.
fswd··on WebSockets vs. Server-Sent-Events vs. Long-Polling vs. WebRTC vs. WebTransport
don't forget the timeout reconnect!

fswd··on Almost every infrastructure decision I endorse or regret
stuff like this makes me want to experiment with going back to just one huge $100k server and running it all on one box in a server rack.
fswd··on OpenAI scrapped a promise to disclose key documents to the public
OpenAI has broken every promise it has made
fswd··on Ask HN: How have you implemented human-in-the-loop workflows?
sorry I meant to say or explain computational graph, and yes langgraph was reintroduced recently last week.
fswd··on Ask HN: How have you implemented human-in-the-loop workflows?
Yes, I have implemented HITL. There's a task queue(psql skiplock). You make a request (insert row). It builds a "workflow graph" of your request and compiles it, a combination between a FSM and graph program. It runs an iteration on the workgraph, and then if successful, submits the next step in the queue as "pending". the user then inspects and accepts the tasks, which then run another iteration of the workgraph. If the user rejects it they can click "playground" and manually do the step.
fswd··on Samsung forecasts 85% drop in profit as chip sales falter
I think they did several stock splits, and this time period was one of them
fswd··on Mixtral 8x7B: A sparse Mixture of Experts language model
you cannot currently run mixtral with a 32k context on a 3090. Unless am I wrong? I think the largest context I was able to reproduce was around 1500 with 2 or 3 bit, I would have to look at my notes.
fswd··on Ask HN: What prevents Google from having the leading LLM?
the management talent is preventing it
fswd··on Amazon Unveils Graviton4: A 96-Core ARM CPU with 536.7 GBps Memory Bandwidth
I'm so glad we're seeing memory specs next to the core count, awesome.
fswd··on S3 Express Is All You Need
I solved this problem locally. When uploading a file to the server before going to S3 it is cached in redis. Whenever the codebase needs to use the file, it checks redis, and if it is not there it fetches it and caches it again.
fswd··on Raspberry Pi 5 has no hardware video encoding and only HEVC decoding
I just bought a 10th gen i5 laptop with 16gb of ram for $60 off of ebay. HP c640 chromebook. Fast enough to run a 7B LLM at 1-2 tokens/sec
fswd··on Hertz is scaling back its EV ambitions because its Teslas keep getting damaged
Tesla should make a fleet version that's easy to repair, and jump into the market place or help Hertz get back on its feet.

There's a partial lunar eclipse next week, October 28th https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2023-october-28
fswd··on Scientists discover links between Alzheimer's disease and gut microbiota
