vietvu··on Qwen 3.8-Flash-Next releasing tomorrow (125B a6B)
Who use openrouter for serious usage? Caching would be really bad unless you use preset to pin to single provider.

This is a gift!
vietvu··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Smarter to realize how the world actually works. Smart enough to reason through the “why,” solve problems, and stick with them instead of just letting them go. But thinking too much can also make it easy to overthink.

I am considered smart and yes I am unhappy from very young age. Mostly due to my family situation too but still: I don't see many kids realized unfair the world is at 6.

vietvu··on Smaller, faster, safer: running Kimi and GLM at scale
I cannot think of any that so concentrated. Best place to me is r/localllama on reddit. Unsloth website and twitter posts is a good place too (usually in localllama too).
vietvu··on Smaller, faster, safer: running Kimi and GLM at scale
Thanks for the transpiration but this is too shallow when talking about LLM serving.
vietvu··on [dead]
What is important or right today might not be tomorrow. The problem that you think today did not exist at the moment of decision. Even if you turn back time, you would likely do the same (unless with today knowledge). Why resent?
vietvu··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
You can just `uv venv`? Or even uvx?
vietvu··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Yes, agree. At first I still use pyenv, or mise to manage python version, now that uv does that, uv is the only tool I need for everything in Python env.
vietvu··on Simplify your code: Functional core, imperative shell
Me too. Aren't we already doing this? This is the basic I have been taught first.
vietvu··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
It's ok, just don't use them anymore if you don't like it. I will switch to something else.
vietvu··on Replacing a $3000/mo Heroku bill with a $55/mo server
Quite sad to see devs nowadays has lost abilities to self-host. I know it can be overwhelming with Linux, networking, db, backup, hardware load.... However, it's not rocket science!
vietvu··on Claude Code on the web
I heard this opinion a lot recently. Codex is getting better, and Claude is getting worse so it's must happen sooner or later. Well, it's competition so waiting for Claude to catch up. The web Claude Code is good, but they really need to fix their quota. It's unusable. I would choose a worse model (maybe at 90%), but has better quota and usable. Not to mention GPT-5 and GPT-5-codex seems catch up or even better now.
vietvu··on Zed is now available on Windows
For Zed user, yes. They don't care (I too, didn't use Windows for years, but Windows is popular is a fact, not opinion).

What I meant was there are so many problems with Windows that the team cannot do it quickly (they post about it before: https://zed.dev/blog/windows-progress-report).

Just surprised, as I thought building GUI app on Windows must be easy right, as must be libs/frameworks already available to support that? It's just not.

vietvu··on Zed is now available on Windows
I didn't know bundling app for the most popular OS is that hard.
vietvu··on Apple M5 chip
and replace first, second... with 1st, 2nd...
vietvu··on Deepseek R1-0528
Or paying deepseek for slightly cheaper and worse performance than OpenAI.
vietvu··on Open Deep Research
Because no one use Gemini Advanced.
vietvu··on Uv's killer feature is making ad-hoc environments easy
I used to have pyenv, asdf or mise to manage python versions (never use conda unless I need DL lib like pytorch). Now just uv is enough.
vietvu··on A Replacement for BERT
LLMs like GPT are heavy and costly (and BERT are LLMs too, params can up to like 1.5B). For niche problems like classification on a small domain, BERT like models are much better, cheaper. You don't need all knowledge gen AI LLM has. I have seen many companies using DeBERTa or RoBERTa for text classification, not using GPT/LLaMA.
vietvu··on A Replacement for BERT
So that what's Jeremy Howard was teasing about. Nice one.
vietvu··on Lm.rs: Minimal CPU LLM inference in Rust with no dependency
Another llama.cpp and mistral.rs? If it support vision models then fine, I will try it.

EDIT: Looks like no L3.2 11B yet.

vietvu··on macOS Sequoia is available today
OK, I will wait for like a month before update.
vietvu··on Wcurl: a curl wrapper to download files
I felt weird reading the titles too, because maybe 2-3 years ago I have downloaded with `curl`, so why this? And also, I am pretty sure `wget` can do it and better too.
vietvu··on Pico.sh – Hacker Labs
The repo is terrible at tell us what is this about, the landing page is better: https://pico.sh, but still terrible.
vietvu··on Perf Is Not Enough
I haven't used duckdb since I got OOM on my dataset too. I think I will try again on 1.0.
vietvu··on Apache Superset
Used Superset back in 2016 and 2020; both time chose Metabase for our clients' BI dashboard and Superset for our internal dashboard. Superset is nice, easy to modify and extend but not user friendly as Redash or Metabase. But after the author launched Preset, it seems to have improved much with the company effort. It looks like to me the best way for OSS to advance is to have a company dedicated to improve it.
vietvu··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
And how frequent you write to SD card too. My Pi 3B+ have been running for 3 years. Haven't considered to upgrade since my need is small.
vietvu··on How to center a div in CSS
After over 10 years since I started using CSS, nothing changed. Center div still hard.
vietvu··on Svelte Native
Maybe it got better but when I was using RN, it felt fine at the first 3 months; then we found out that it is a hell to work with JS and React Native dependency. To the point we needed to forked multiple project to make it worked. And in the end, we still need a considerable native code for our app. It might just be better to start from scratch with native iOS/Android.
vietvu··on Mark Zuckerberg’s new goal is creating artificial general intelligence
So he will change the company from Meta to AI? Since the company shifted from metaverse to AI.
