In my experience, yes. A bit more reliable than gemma for me. I mostly use A3B (35B, mix of experts) though, because it‘s faster, and in the same ballpark intelligence wise as the dense 27B, so it’s the sweetspot for me. I want to try cohere‘s mini code model next, but worried the runtimes aren‘t optimized for that yet.

Nice, I tried it too with oMLX — agreed, it seems very capable for coding! Was slightly underwhelmed by performance though. I got about ~24 t/s on the ternary version on my M2 Max 64. That’s quite a bit slower than Qwen A3B 35B (4 bit unsloth). How was perf for you?

that‘s … not really how it works. Agents get your code into their context via tool calls, not by uploading the entire file to a server „where the weights live and thus the code has to be too“. Small but crucial difference. Aside from that: LLM providers have to be the ones that facilitate your privacy and security by default. That‘s not on the user. They‘re tool providers and they can‘t compromise you and your org by default.

Tidal AI Policy 23 days ago

The way royalties get assigned is based on a percentage of your listening versus your monthly payment. For example, spend an entire month listening to Taylor Swift’s new album, she gets the entire royalty share. But if you listen to the album 100 times but then listen to lofi beats 900 times, Taylor only gets 10%.

Not sure about Tidal, but that’s not how it works on Spotify. Instead, artists get paid per stream — about 0.003$. Anything from you the pool of your monthly payment allocated for royalties that you did not use gets distributed proportionally between the artists with the most streams. So say:

- I pay 10$ a month - 5$ of that is reserved for royalties - I listen to 330 songs a month (~ 1$) - 4$ remain in the pot and are paid to the most popular artists

I don’t know. Em-dashes are normal punctuation. The prose on the site doesn‘t strike me as particularly AI-y, but of course I might be wrong. Generally speaking, if the person wants to not use AI and tell people that, thats fine by me too.

It was a good ad. But also, Mac OS X at the time was so vastly and obviously ahead of Windows, it was a very natural choice if your circumstances allowed it (IMHO etc). It really really didn‘t break Microsoft. They were, and are still, more than fine.

Hi all!

I wanted to share a library I wrote that I think is needed to make OPFS actually useful.

For context, OPFS is the Origin Private File System, giving your app a orgin-scoped high performance file system, ideal for stuff like sqlite or data intensive local-first apps.

However, if you have multiple windows or tabs, using the same FileHandle will break your app, since there can only be one FileHandle per file.

This library attempts to fix this by doing some MessagePort acrobatics between tabs, and keeps only one worker alive managing access to the file system.

It’s informed by this discussion on wa-sqlite: https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite/discussions/81

Hope somebody will find this useful!

hey! Great job on this, dashersw. I‘ve believed for a while now that the compile time dependency analyzer approach is the only good way for frameworks like this. Really neat choices on the API surface as well – so simple! Launching with a headless UI lib is smart. will try both in a side project soon! thanks and cheers!

Safari is still working on pulling theirs back up.

not sure about this take, given that chrome‘s rendering engine was famously based on Safari‘s - WebKit - before they forked it (Blink). V8 was indeed faster than Safari‘s JS engine at the time. However, today, Safari is objectively faster in both rendering (WK) and JS performance (JSCore).

Really? I always thought it was London in 1801. Do you have a link to the data?

Huh? Every EV uses recuperative braking, how is this special to Tesla?

It‘s not. But there are some newer EVs (e.g. Mercedes and VW) that track brake usage and will periodically switch to using the disk brakes when there‘s danger of corrosion.

Hi! I’m a Senior Software Engineer and project manager with over 16 years experience in the industry. Full Stack, with a strong focus on the front end side of things.

I’ve co-founded and led a music and messaging focused start up as the CTO for 5 years — from the first MVP until it got acquired in 2019.

I’m very much a product builder with a keen eye for detail and UX, a strong sense of responsibility and ownership. As a team leader I consider myself empathetic and pragmatic.

just as a little side note: while it really isn‘t regarded as a typical mac game nowadays, Halo was originally planned as a Mac-exclusive, before Microsoft bought Bungie. If memory servese me right, Jobs even presented it as an exclusive at some MacWorld or Expo.
