You're All Idiots

great story

My local models are already quite good enough for 98% of what I would use an LLM for day to day. I feel like I already don't necessarily need a frontier model unless its for raw speed. This is still early days and, if I'm already feeling this way, in just a few years frontier AI will just be another big conglomerate that I avoid like the rest of them.

Coding isn't the hard part, it's the challenging part, so if you enjoy the challenge then it's easy, otherwise it can seem like the hard part.

I predicted this the moment I first saw the cybertruck. I found it completely hideous and idiotic looking and I generally like most of Tesla's product designs but this, this was a bad design that nobody had ever asked for.

Local inference is the future of free and open AI. Datacenters, on the other hand, are the future of totalitarian control and other dangerous projects.

I'd build the world's most advanced and feature-rich helloWorld.js that anybody has ever imagined.

Science Slop had already damaged trust in science long before AI arrived on the scene. AI just took their game to the pro level. Now scientists are bummed that their slop can't compete with AI slop. It's a slop storm.

No, but I do look forward to all the stories of people who did. Should be interesting

I run a cluster of two Dell Pro Max GB10's 128GB unified mem per node 200G NIC ConnectX

After ~10 years with ProtonMail I have gone back to hosting my own email and, with the help of Claude, I now have the email setup I've always wanted. I'm actually kinda glad now to have been forced to finally solve email for myself so, thanks ProtonMail, it was a good run.

IoT is a huge mistake

Now it's only a matter of time before somebody gets Wolfenstein 3D running inside model weights.

Been using AirVPN for a while and I'm pretty happy with it. Every once in a while there is a web site that blocks me but those sites tend to block all VPN services so AirVPN is not necessarily unique or being singled-out in those instances.

Have you tried AI? I hear that it offers a future of unlimited abundance and pure happiness for everyone.

95% is still 5% short

Half a million dollars a year and you managed to go broke?

I don't think you can blame AI for that.

What do Qwen and Planned Parenthood have in common?

Both hand out free Trojans.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your server.

First you'll need a camera that can detect mathematical equations.

I have been using my own harness for quite a while now and giving it constant and continuous updates and improvements. It is optimized for use with local models but can also use any API that I have an account with too when the desire arises.

It was a good run while it lasted. Guess I'll go back to self-hosting email. It's the only way to ensure things don't suddenly change.

Sam Altman is a terrible allocation of breathable air.

No, it hasn't been an issue. Claude will stay within its project boundaries and is generally very cautious, maybe sometimes even overly-cautious, about anything it does that might effect other projects. It knows about all the projects on my dev machine and is good at staying in its lane.

I always have two projects going at once, one for Claude and one for me. I'll set Claude off on a long autonomous turn, move that window to its own monitor so i can check on it as needed, and I get to work on my project. It's kinda like having a colleague sitting next to you who is working on a separate project. You can talk about each other's projects and ask for help or a fresh set of eyes when necessary. There are actually several projects that i won't let Claude touch simply because I don't want any drift in my own understanding of what has been done.

Tech = Social media? Maybe to a 5th grader.

If the goal is genuine artificial intelligence (or artificial cognition), and I think it is, then an LLM can only ever be a piece of that puzzle, they represent the language center of the AI brain. True cognitive intelligence will require a completely new and novel technology that doesn't yet exist and it will itself rely on a language model for all its powerful reasoning tools. Reasoning is only part of cognition, the role of an LLM in the AI puzzle.

Meanwhile, William Shatner, 95 years old, just starting touring with his new heavy metal band called "The *uckers".

I'm not even joking
