what flavor of deepseek are you running? what kind of performance are you seeing?

Apple M3 Ultra 1 year ago

apple keeps talking about the Neural Engine. Does anything actually use it? Seems like all the current LLM and Stable Diffusion packages (including MLX) use the GPU.

I dont know anything about flow batteries, but some quick searching leads me to believe that there are two tanks of electrolytes with pumps that pump them along a membrane and then you get power across the membrane. In this small battery kit, is the idea that the battery provides enough power to both operate all its own pumps/electronics, and then output usable power? Does anyone know how much power you'd be able to get out of a small setup like this?

Looks like a cool project!

Why say no to the the nano texture? Looking at a studio display these days and trying to understand the option

Zero growth or negative growth (real or nominal) are both cases that not keep pace with expectations.

What about that paragraph makes you think things are gangbusters but they have to lay people off?

if you sign your commits, you should also consider timestamping your commits. I use OpenTimestamps for this. Docs and some rationale here: https://github.com/opentimestamps/opentimestamps-client/blob...

from the doc:

My signing keys (e.g. blog or Qubes code signing keys) do not have expiration dates. This is not laziness. There is a fundamental problem with using an expiration date on keys used for code signing (e.g. git tag -s), because it is unclear what the outcome should be when one verifies some old code (written and signed when the key was still valid) in the future when the key has already expired?

Naturally we would like the old code, written and signed when the key was still valid, to continue to verify fine also in the future, after the key expires (and the developer passed away, perhaps). However, it is very problematic to prevent the attacker from creating falsified code pretending to be an old one.
