Thankyou for putting the last three months of my life into words <3 > and the explanations of the agent are convincing enough that surely, it knows better than you. I feel this in my bones. I also get to watch the…
(If it helps, I ask my own question of myself too -- I mostly don't write code by hand any more as I find that an LLM writes it faster and with less bugs -- Is that therefore proof that my time was never worth my…
Don't know why you're getting faded out, because having worked on exactly this engine, software mitigations were put in place. That's exactly your `anomaly detection system` It was a belt-and-braces fix, because the…
Thankyou! that title was painful, I spent 20 seconds term rewriting it in my head.. * Firefox's AI Switch Is Off. Telemetry Isn't * Firefox's AI Switch Is Off. Telemetry Isn't off [complete second clause] * Firefox's…
It's a valid shift to move onto actually trying to read the article critically (which I don't mean in an insulting way -- If you assume a writing has something worthwhile to tell you, reading it critically is how you…
Yeah, I'm with you on this, I think this is just what fable/opus-5 slop looks like now... * "A frozen verify.py accepts the claim" (what does it mean to freeze a python script?) * "which trains the recipe eight times on…
I'm totally feeling you here as well. Fable is definitely quicker to first output token on `claude.ai` (ie less internal reasoning tokens being generated), and given how much more expensive decode is than prefill, I'm…
Yes this is an extremely well known result for exactly the reason you guessed. It's not just abcktracking, asking an LLM to present a conclusion and then justify is also an excellent way to provoke hallucination as the…
Is it too cynical to read the first quote as "when openai catch up, we will restore fable 5 to subscription plans"? In other words, they're saying "We know have a monopoloy and we will take all of your money until…
2 and 3 bit quants are often closer to gibberish than hallucination, and that'll happen regardless of context. I shouldn't claim too much, I haven't tried GLM5.2 at 2/3 bit quantization, but if I were a betting man I'd…
It's amazingly vacuous isn't it? I think the most interesting read was the fact that they were surprised llama.cpp crashed when they used a bad set of commandline arguments. Although in the section immediately above the…
I'm not sure there's a one-stop shop for this at the moment. I think the process is: * Have a box with sufficient spare (V)RAM -- probably 8G for simple categorization with qwen3.5-4b, and 24G or more for more…
Yup, especially when for a lot of us, the price of the frontier subscription has become a cost of doing business over the last 6 months. If you're already doing big boy stuff with big boy models, then... just carry on…
The latest rounds of open weights vision language models are incredibly good. Like, massively good. Open weights vision capabilities trade blows with frontier models. Over the last few months I'd roughly rank…
If it helps, I mean it in a really literal sense. qwen3.6 27b is currently $3.20 per million tokens on openrouter right now which is way overpriced. As good as the 27b is, kimi k2.5 $3.00 and it's just in another league…
I wonder if for a model that small with a permissive license it might not be worth their time to host a commercial grade inference stack? Might be easier to chuck it over the fence and let other providers handle it as…
Using protobuf is practical enough in embedded. This person isn't the first and won't be the last. Way faster than JSON, way slower than C structs. However protobuf is ridiculously interchangeable and there are…
I feel like there's a semi-philosophical question somehwere here. Recursion is clearly a core computer science concept (see: many university courses, or even the low level implementation of many data structures), but…
The author is making a deliberate point about undefined behaviour in the article. Hence them not executing worked examples. In fact, by not doing so they are making a subtle implicit statement that it is uninteresting…
FWIW, 85k 4-input luts is huge by the standards of any softcore with "micro" in the name. It comfortably surpasses the capacity of most of the Actel aerospace FPGAs that I tend to work with. And I think it's so "micro"…
...could be named for how much space is left after that soft core has been instantiated.
Out of interest, what could make such a design better than a traditional inductive motor? Such motors already suffer inductive losses, and do not need slip rings or brushes, and presumably do not an additional set of…
I know press releases never describe anything that's actually novel, but it looks like they're just describing an asynchronous induction motor? I'm wondering if this release is implicitly pretending that some "low slip…
Download counts don't mean very much here as I'm fairly sure both crates are common transitive dependencies. Or in other words, millions of programmers aren't individually choosing Anyhow or Thiserror on a monthly basis…
Im assuming the "halt and catch fire" thing is only really possible on pre-microprocessor machines built of discrete components, where the individual parts are small enough to overheat by themselves if driven wrong. I'd…
