c0m47053··on Ornith-1.5: From Self-Scaffolding to Self-Improvement
MoE is great on systems that lack the VRAM to host the full model. On my 16GB VRAM system, I can get 100 tok/s with Q4 Qwen 3.6 35b a3b, and 15 tok/s with 27b.

MTP is a trade-off, as it pushes some more of the model off the GPU.

I have managed to get usable quants of Laguna S2 and even DeepSeek V4 flash on this setup.

There is clearly some intelligence loss compared to similar sized dense models, but I feel like it stomps on the 9-12b models I could run fully on GPU

Specific task based benchmarks don't reflect a lot of day to day agentic use cases in my experience. If you are working on a series of discrete tasks and can clear context after each one and move to the next, you might get that sort of efficiency from Opus low effort. I often find that when working through a real problem, iterating and discovering, context length can creep up, and that is where opus tends to get expensive.
c0m47053··on Show HN: Claude Code skills that build complete Godot games
Very interesting. Have to admit, I assumed Godot was just out of the realm of agentic dev. I decided to actually build a game a few months ago, and went with Raylib (with C#), and it worked out pretty well (https://github.com/alexwlsnr/neo-arena)

I had assumed with the complex mix of scripts and the scene graph in Godot wouldn't be a good fit (personally trying and failing to make games in it by hand in the past may have been a factor)

Perhaps I'll give this approach a go if inspiration strikes!

c0m47053··on House of Lords Votes to Ban UK Children from Using Internet VPNs
The thing is, it's not really children who lose access to this sort of content, it's the user who doesn't want to give Reddit or Twitter or whoever else a copy of their driving licence. Without age verification, they don't see the truth of something like Gaza, because it's ages restricted. They can however view the other, sanitised version of the story.
c0m47053··on Fred Wilson: My New Nexus 7"
Paul O'Brien from MoDaCo created an 'app' that adds the shortcut to the default camera app back into the Nexus 7. For some reason, even though Google included the entire camera application in the build, they removed the launcher icon. You can find it on the Play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modaco.cam...
