For local LLM people:

(for comparison, M4 pro has 273 GB/s and M1 pro has 200GB/s and M1 max has 400GB/s)

M5 Pro (20-core GPU): 307 GB/s memory bandwidth (supports 24 GB, 48 GB, 64 GB).

M5 Max (32-core GPU): 460 GB/s memory bandwidth. (36 GB)

Other providers probably don't even know/care that this is happening

Weird, I only see one, even with ublock origin disabled.

Works with any random email, kinda fine tbh
thehamkercat··on Grok 4.7
update: coreweave/fp8 is at 191 tps, launched this morning, but really bad cache hit rate (~60%), coreweave is good for privacy but let's hope they improve cache
thehamkercat··on Grok 4.7
just checked, yes they don't seem to provide that information, most other providers are advertising fp8 or fp4 which is okay, but "together" doesn't, so they are likely using fp4

My brother there's no Om"arch"y without archlinux lmfaooo
thehamkercat··on Grok 4.7
openrouter, "together" provider is fastest (165 t/s at the time of writing) and has ZDR and all

thehamkercat··on MCP was always a bad idea?
MCP lead to one good thing though

a lot of websites that never bothered to provide a REST API are now exposing MCP server because it has become popular, and you can use those servers to write normal automation for yourself, without plugging in any LLM etc

thehamkercat··on The Millennium Problems for Biology
> 02 - Cryopreservation

Demonstrate the ability to cryopreserve and recover live wild-type mice with high viability.

> 06 - Somatic limb regeneration

Demonstrate the ability to regenerate lost limbs in adult wild-type mice.

Interesting, but looks like these problems are proposed in September 2026, unlike original 7 Millennium Prize Problems of Maths

thehamkercat··on Leaving DigitalOcean, one site at a time
My frustration is omarchy getting more than $18 million in funding for some dotfiles... (i know it's an exaggeration, because omarchy foundation itself seems to be funding projects like Hyprland/Quickshell/mise)

but archlinux project probably deserved it instead of omarchy

(linux kernel already has enough funding i guess, so they don't need this)

---

Can someone explain me, how are they going to profit off this? they can't expect to show ads to linux users right?

thehamkercat··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
i use sops

Encrypt: sops encrypt --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv .env > secrets.enc.env

then rm .env

You can then run your script/dev with: sops exec-env secrets.enc.env 'docker xxxx' (it will ask you for your password, or touch-id to decrypt the secrets)

I like this because this way the .env doesn't sit in the directory at all, and is only passed to your dev environment and stays in it while it's running

Decrypt back to a file (if you ever want that): sops decrypt secrets.enc.env > .env

---

Well ofc, any agent can do docker inspect to get all those env vars, but atleast reading the dotfiles won't do anything

you can also edit the file with: sops --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv secrets.enc.env

This is crazy, but sadly anthropic/openai will never do this, what has happened to this world, where chinese companies are more open than US or even EU companies

thehamkercat··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
I think people shouldn't just jump to distros which are getting heavily hyped in media/Youtube, cachyOS had similar wave, and now Omarchy does.

(example: NetworkChuck, Primeagen? and a few others)

also, archlinux is much easier to install nowadays with archinstall [1], so i'm not sure you really need another opinionated layer on top of it

A vibe-coded password-manager? Sure! where do i sign up?
thehamkercat··on Show HN: Sesame - a local-first, open-source password manager
it _is_ vibe-coded, you can read the commit descriptions in sesame-desktop repo

I wouldn't trust any password manager or critical applications like this written after 2024

bitwarden/KeePassXC are already more than enough

thehamkercat··on Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard
Can you explain how does it work? like how is the previous K/V cache used when you switch to another model?

Source?

Muse Glimmer 30B seems to be on par with Qwen 3.6 27B (4 months old)

but

Qwen 3.8 27B is dropping this week...

thehamkercat··on Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard
I personally think it's snake-oil marketing with all these smart-model-routing products/projects

prompt-cache won't work with these

thehamkercat··on Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard
> NeMo Switchyard, an open source library for smart routing

> When deployed, NeMo Switchyard can intelligently direct each request to the most capable and suitable model for the job

How do routers like this handle prompt caching when you send the second request?

Sticky models per session? but then the second message of that session won't be sent to a suitable model, and will only be sent to the same model as previous one.

thehamkercat··on Apple Silicon and macOS VMs: Faster LLM Inference with llama.cpp
> 11.08× faster and generated tokens 16.36× faster than the same workload in the same stock VM.

So this was the comparison, for me the title was a bit confusing
