dmead··on How to speed up the Rust compiler in September 2026
Isn't this also the reason people dropped Haskell?

I can't see steve blamer's face without remembering how fun beos was in the 90s.
dmead··on Qwen 3.8-Flash-Next releasing tomorrow (125B a6B)
This is great. I have a weird system layout (192gb system ram, 8gb vram). the mixture of experts models have been nice when i can run the dense reasoning layers on the gpu (which somehow fit?!) and then the expert on the cpu.

its worked out to to 40 tokens/seconds on their 80b-a3b model. we'll see how much of a hit this is.

dmead··on AMD acquires Taalas to boost inference performance by etching models in silicon

dmead··on Bcachefs creator insists his custom LLM is female and 'fully conscious'
Idk. I don't think either he nor reiser were ruby devs.
dmead··on OpenScan
It depends on sampling and sky conditions. My only point was that some astronomy cameras have smaller pixels (like 1.45um).
dmead··on OpenScan
Cannon pixels are still pretty big. You could use an astronomy camera and some lens adapters to get better sampling.
dmead··on Hackable personal news reader in bash pipes
I had a design sketched out that would do sentiment analysis on each post in your social media feeds. It would then take action to hide or outright delete stuff based on your configuration.

It would probably work as a browser plugin, but I didn't have a real solution for rewriting whats on say the reddit or Twitter phone apps.

Probably pretty easy to vibe code up such a thing now.

dmead··on Are arrays functions?
Is this what the fp community calls referential transparency?

dmead··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
I don't know where to start. Does marketing typically work this well on you? Do you also think elon musk is going to die on mars?

dmead··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
True. I think i'm done after windows 10 really runs into the ground. I have a nuc that runs windows 11 and it's kind of a shitshow.

Ah sorry, it was lutris (the name escaped me). I've done all the combinations of wine and wrappers to wine. All of them have a sort of unstable relationship with the calling environment. alt-tabbing out of games never works, there are freezes and game crashes when you try to switch in and out of games a fluidly as you can on windows.

I believe you that steamos is better, but it's also a single task environment where you're not checking your email between rounds of halo.

I'll give proton a try, though i believe that was in play when i was laddering with lutris.

dmead··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
Well, that's apples and oranges. I was playing starcraft on wine earlier this year and there were constant freezes and crashes on new hardware.
dmead··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
I don't.
dmead··on Bazzite: Operating System for Linux gaming
I've been using linux since the days of downloading slackware on a stack of 1.44mb floppy disks. I gave up on linux gaming around 2007. I've revisited it this year, but it still sucks. it's just not worth it.

just relax, install windows and late the escapism take over.
