The fact that Ledger uses resellers is crazy.

The fact that some people can put million dollars worth of crypto on a device, but can't buy a plane ticket to someone to get the device straight from the factory is crazy.

The fact that puri.sm has better anti interdiction practices than Ledger is crazy : https://puri.sm/posts/anti-interdiction-update-six-month-ret...

> Before Ledger publicly confirmed the hardware implant, former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès reported examining a suspicious Ledger Nano X device obtained from Malaysia. On October 9, Karpelès described finding an additional electronic component hidden behind the device’s display, inside material normally used to protect the screen.

> He reported that the wallet had arrived in packaging that appeared intact, raising questions about whether customers could identify a modified device through a routine visual inspection. In photographs shared publicly, the component appeared to contain electronic circuitry separate from the wallet’s original hardware

Come on.

New comment by Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe in "We turned EmbeddingGemma 2 into a speech-to-text model"

Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:20:51 +0000

Nice work. It makes me think: is it really impossible to use the model2vec framework with this? It can be used to turn an embedding model into a super fast cpu only vectorizer. I think it loses the order of words but, someone's gotta try and see if it works anyway right?

I'm a psychiatry resident and dev : I self host as much as I can and am a big fan of optimizing stuff for browser side processing and static websites. This allows me to have pretty complex websites on the cheapest VPS I could find. Some of my sites even include embedding search over hundreds of thousands of chunks within milliseconds.

I'm always wondering why new models don't always adopt deepseek's KV tweaks. It's insanely valuable to have such powerful prefix caching and so cheap at inference time.

Are there drawbacks to this?

In openrouter you can pin providers and you can filter by quantization.

Hi,

If you ever get to writing a blog post about kv cache quantisation, i'm interested in quantising K differently than V
