Was going to make the same observation. Cool to run locally - but renting seems the saner choice?

Would love to see what this run would cost from something like Verda. Just out of curiosity. I'm not going to be installing any sparks at home anytime soon.

Great article, thanks for posting.

I think I'm gradually getting a picture of what jev does, and why it might be good:

1) one shot classifiers are great, and are well-known.

2) LLMs are also great classifiers, but are slow at output - and not great at guaranteed structured output.

3) everyone focused on LLMs, and forgot about classifiers.

4) any decent one shot classifier should be easy to run "fast"/"in realtime".

5) combining 4) with LLMs and a harness (a loop) open up some clever use-cases that LLMs alone are too slow for.

As I understand it, jev isn't long for this world (we'll have foss one shot classifiers we can run on modest hardware) - but it seems likely the legacy will be that classifiers will re-gain some prominence alongside generative models.

Ok?

I must admit I haven't run the numbers, but if this can be trusted, sync PHP isn't far off from golang - while async does rather well?

I probably would only reach for PHP if I needed to run on shared hosting (or rather, my customers did) - in which case few other technologies would compete, obviously.

Thought it could warrant some discussion - maybe someone will spot obvious errors?

PS: golang is much faster at cpu - in this case one might argue a fairer comparison would use a compiled extension on the php side IMNHO - as that seems a likely path if a real project was cpu bound on a few small functions.

> as slow as PHP is.

Citation needed? I love hating PHP, but of the reasons I would chose something other than PHP, speed and resource consumption is pretty far down the list?

I was curious - not too impressed about what it did for Pornhub - but it turned into a kind of deconstruction of launch video - or banal parody of sorts?:

Curious about the song - the mp3 in the repo is wildly different from the linked YouTube recording?

Interesting. Bit odd that the head doesn't occlude the background (it's a circle, not a disk), and not sure about the title font.

The drawing/animation style feels suitably off from xkcd - more naive stick figure, than what xkcd looks like?

Some speed/timing issues with the walk cycles.

For all that - mind-blowing that it's generated so quickly.

Did you get the raw js artifacts to continue working, or making "sequels" - or just the video file?

Does the js stuff render real-time?

Did you get script/dialog and voice settings (again, for making other films in same series/theme) - or just the rendered audio?

I was very surprised when I realized what defaults postgres uses when it comes to SSL. I can see how people consider it a pragmatic choice - but still...

Doesn't actually read the page, though. Or not what you see in the browser. For example right now, when I navigate to "reply" it doesn't read the comment I'm replying to - it's reading the login banner you get visiting a reply link without being logged in.

I really hope arm laptops get full linux support as promised - but never delivered:

Tbh I don't think my MacBook air m2 is better than my Asus Vivobook (arm64). They're different (Vivobook is bigger) - but I'd say the OLED screen is much better than the M2 screen.

The apple touchpad is better - but all touchpads suck. Still miss old school IBM ThinkPad stick.

> yesterday my ethernet connection listing disappeared and broke network connectivity

While I'm not deeply familiar with Red Hat/Fedora - I'm curious if you know what happened here? What changed to trigger this behavior?

Looking at a few search results - looks like an upgrade to 44 likely exposed/introduced a bug in power management that result in the Ethernet being turned off, and the kernel mode unloaded?

I'm guessing the intention behind the change was to enable more power saving.

But that is certainly a valid concern with most Linux distros - ocationally an improvement (higher resolution, faster, better color depth console or driver) will mess with bootloader, x/Wayland etc.

Still driver yank isn't unheard of with windows upgrades either. With MacOS I'm just going to assume any os upgrade is likely to cause some issues - even when Apple owns both the hw and os.

I would need at least two languages, probably three. I was guessing this approach might be less multilingual than LLMs.

In my case Norwegian, English and Japanese.

I'm assuming you only need to consider a single language for your emails?

Did you also look at https://ente.com/ ?

Nice touch to have the ability to run the model after upload. Like a cross between a Quine and a Morris worm for AI.

But it'll only be truly fun when agents set up this for themselves, paying for the infrastructure by way of their onlyfan personas.

Wow, how did this not get discovered and fixed at the time of:

https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2007-0882

Might be a 32 year old bug, but it's practically also a 19 years old exploit?

Ed: I'm confusing TFA with

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2026-24061

Which seems pretty much identical with the 2007 cve.

In this case I suppose we can take the Ayatollah's word for it?

I'd say mobile and desktop (from same html) would be more like css zen garden, than light/dark.

Guess they need to hire an "idea guy" first?

I instantly thought of Nielsen's personal homepage - http://useit.com - which has moved on to a little softer and corporate design - but still linger in the Internet Archive:

That's the beauty of asdf and then mise; they leverage existing solutions where possible, and unify how to get versioned runtimes for projects. Rust? rustup with mise, ruby? Precompiled when possible, otherwise ruby-build. Etc.

I'm not sure if I trust or want pnpm to support bundling rust for binary plugins, or various sundry toolchains.

But use what works for you.

> Why would you even use python without uv anymore

Probably wouldn't:

https://mise.jdx.dev/mise-cookbook/python.html#mise-uv

> have a system python binary and virtual envs linked to it

I'm not sure if you're saying avoid using system python?

In my experience so far, you never want to develop complex software locked to system versions of runtimes. Too often you need a bleeding edge feature, or conversely need to postpone updating due to needing an old version for some reason.

Object databases exist - they don't magically solve data(model|schema) migrations.

Equivalent to 10% year-to-year, every year - assuming 5 years. That is somewhat steep.

Hm.. I just tried on my Google pixel 7 Pro (obviously very different display - OLED) - and certainly seems like the result of a test conversion pdf2djvu should be at home on an eink screen. Not sure if there's a simple way to test on the only eink I have to hand; a Remarkable.

Fwiw google Gemini cane up with the following to convert pdfs on device in termux after some prodding (koreader can display DjVu):

You'll need access to storage:

termux-setup-storage

Then pipe/paste this to a script: (Sorry for the verbose slop)
