Looks like good value, interactive toys add a lot of intuition. I would love to see this expanded to cover other modalities, not just text. And then expanded to non LLM, specialized models, like tts, tabfm, etc.

Transcribe.cpp 4 days ago

Congrats on delivering good value to the people. I have used transcribe.cpp a few weeks ago to do near realtime offline stt on a 10 year old phone, writing simple adhoc app for my use case, it's crazy what is happening right now.

Article has a few decent remarks, but ultimately it fails to deliver anthropologic, grounded, humane interpretation without narrow worldview and ideological biases of it's author.

My uninformed(about this particular enterprise) but educated guess: if tomorrow VC funding evaporates all this network cease to exists. I guess based on feely that 80% of all of these Relays, PDS, Apps including, Bsky are all from few if not one company, meaning centralized behind the curtain, but decentralized evangelism. It is very possible I am completely wrong, and so be it.

Computing platform with retired phones is not going to happen unless manufacturers add some budged for this to the motherboard design, expose high bandwidth interface similar to pci-e or usb4, we have now 80GB/s RAM phones with less than 1GB/s usb3 interfaces to the this beast computers, it is absurd.

Interesting idea, but it would be nice to preserve very minimal signal from color, tunable as one feels, something like this with Stylus extension:

  @-moz-document domain("youtube.com") {
  body { filter: grayscale(95%)contrast(110%); }
  }

I wish labs would do QAT and release these quants, at this point looking at releases of bf16 without QAT feels like looking at half backed bread, we can quantized it but it is not the same as QAT. Or I am missing something here ?

1990s: "What a computer is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds."

2026: /s "What a LLM is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds, but for your mind it's a rental unicycle that will break apart under you if you pedal towards your own bicycle factory"

This wanna be cloud feudal lord likes to imagine that AI access is not yet freely tradable good, and his virtual digital peasants must think that his prerogatives should be taken as given, while preventing his future vassals from building their own castles.

Apple WWDC 2026 1 month ago

Still deliberately running macOS Sequoia 15 cuz you know… and if I'll switch to something hopefully better than Tahoe will disable SIP and every thing that is not needed to just launch software, this OS has gotten too obese.

  that second dose of soma had raised a quite impenetrable wall between the actual universe and their minds.
  - Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Amazing hardware, 8GB out to keep developers in check with sane memory management, if only Apple themselves cut down on their macOS operating system memory usage, 3GB idle is too much. The obvious out of spec for this laptop is emulated gaming with rosetta and wine, this need minimal 16GB.

Or something useful, save space, compressing some talk or edu video, just 6 fps is usually enough for slides or code, opus audio can go as low as 32k and still be decent compared to source quality, expect 10-15x size reduction

  ffmpeg -hide_banner -y -i in.mp4 \
    -vf "fps=6,format=yuv420p,scale=960:-2:flags=lanczos" \
    -c:v libx265 -tag:v hvc1 -crf 32 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset fast \
    -c:a libopus -b:a 82K -application 2048 \
    -c:s mov_text \
