4x CMP-170HX he purchased with his time machine last month

Given that glimmer only caught up-ish to 3.6 how far behind is American (largest model) to American (largest model) ?

do you mind sharing your settings? i just picked up an r9700 to start playing with local qwen3.6 27b and your setup sounds promising and efficient on 24gb.

are you running a quant?

i have a friend with a 4080 that is wanting to experiment with local models and those cards should be similar enough. can you give any more detail about your setup? ty!

the hdlbits course is really good imo

lol i def picked up some autocad and other things that way for friends of my family. i was fortunate enough to have a neighbor give me a copy of VB3 he got from work after i got back from a summer camp learning QBASIC. the simplicity of the form designer in VB was total magic. i spent so many nights up late reading/downloading sample projects to see how people made the controls work together.

ya, i made rage and nightmare, just shared them w/ some friends. the guys that made fate x went to a nearby high school funny enough but never knew them personally.

i loved making AOL 'hacking' tools as a kid in VB3/5/6. faders, stuff to scroll ascii art to chat rooms, etc.

what display are you talking to ? i haven't touched an ESP in a few years, this sounds like a fun reason to dust one off.

this gave me some old Itanic nostalgia just reading the foreword. There were some interesting discussions from 2024 regarding it and other people involved in VLIW designs

extract the exe like a zip file, that's how love packages itself. last i looked at the source myself it had comments in still from the dev

try page's pre-order link at the top goes to a 404

i have been joking with friends that it's time to redefine saas to software-as-a-sentence

Out of curiosity is there a reason nobody seems to be trying it with factory.ai's Droid in these comments? Droid BYOK + GLM4.7 seems like a really cost effective backup in the little bit I have experimented with it.

   const secondStatements = [
   "SELECT quote(root) from ft_segdir;",
   "UPDATE ft_segdir SET root = X'0005616261636B03010200FFFFFFFF070266740302020003046E646F6E03030200';",
   "SELECT * FROM ft WHERE ft MATCH 'abandon';"
   ];

Just saw the proof of concept page. Looks like they are building quite the usual string in hex... Starting with a null terminator? Mmmhmmm

I casually thumbed through a few of the commits they posted and came across this

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/c368e30ae55...

   for(i=0; i<nChar; i++){
     if( n>=nByte ) return 0;      /* Input contains fewer than nChar chars */
     if( (unsigned char)p[n++]>=0xc0 ){
   -      while( (p[n] & 0xc0)==0x80 ) n++;
   +      while( (p[n] & 0xc0)==0x80 ){
   +        n++;
   +        if( n>=nByte ) break;
   +      }
     }
   }
   return n;

Looks like there may have been an issue in parsing malformed multibyte unicode characters properly.

Did you really find CouchDB that bad to work with? I never in the end settled on either couch or mongo for a project long term but when I setup couch to test it out a few years ago I had it up and running with functional replication quite quickly (i.e., one afternoon) from being a complete novice with the platform. It's built in web panel at the time basically handled everything from basic setup to replication quickly.

Funny to see this here, it's been ages since I've seen UPX mentioned. In the early 2000's I had written some software whose executable was around a megabytes or maybe several megabytes in size coming out of VB6. On one of mid 90's test laptops we used at the time to ensure it would run on even the crummiest of machines it launched NOTICEABLY faster when packed with UPX. The hard disk in that machine was so incredibly slow loading less off the disk and decompressing the executable in RAM was easily an order of magnitude faster.

Level 26... Did a base 64 decode.. The output looked base64 legal. Decoded that, looked legal again, decoded that... Canabarro Sandow?

There are tables in the kernel git repo if you want a good reference for their values; however, the register definitions aren't provided.
