<p>> You are greatly underestimating the <i>current</i> hardware requirements for productive local LLMs.<p>Fixed that for you. Right now most models produced are based on floating point maths and probabilities, which is "expensive" to do math on.<p>Microsoft has researched 1-bit LLMs which can run much more efficiently, and on much cheaper hardware[1].<p>If this research is reproducable and reusable outside their research models, this means the cost of running self-hosted LLMs will be reduced by an order of magnitude once this hits mainstream.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet</a></p>

<p>> Very few people with LinkedIn profiles read the social feed.<p>I read somewhere that in Norway (small sample, yes I know) LinkedIn is supposedly a more popular social network than X/Twitter.<p>You can have whatever opinion you mean about Elon, X, free speech and whatever. I'm not here to have that discussion.<p>All that considered, as a Norwegian this had me quite surprised. I don't have the source anymore, but I'd love to dig into it to see what sort of metrics they use to measure this sort of popularity.<p>Literally nobody I know uses LinkedIn except for business-SPAM.</p>

<p>> “Covered application store” means a publicly available internet website, software application, online service, or platform that distributes and facilitates the download of applications from third-party developers to users of a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing that can access a covered application store or can download an application.<p>So OpenWRT would be covered since they allow the user to download packages (ie software) via apk/opkg.<p>Awesome!</p>

<p>> It really is the case that a lot of incompetence is hiding in plain sight.<p>It may sound preposterous but I'm going to make the argument that sometimes not knowing how things work is a <i>feature</i>, not a bug.<p>I would assume most people with a little work-experience has encountered the kind of legacy systems which is crucial to the business, yet for whatever reason doing any sort of work on them involves a tremendous amount of friction.<p>A technical person who knows how this system works in and out will often claim that certain seemingly simple things <i>cannot be done</i>, because of how the system works.<p>It might be highly impractical, but if we're honest about things, it's all software. It can be changed if we decide to and the company is willing to put in the effort to make it happen. It's clearly possible, but the skilled worked will often present it as an impossibility.<p>The Julius, not hampered by such knowledge or constraints, will be see a seemingly simple problem, and maybe even imagine what other things would be possible or even "simple" if that problem was solved.<p>If the Julius manages to get management approval for these ideas, you may actually end up getting management approval for changing/upgrading the base system causing the friction, something the more fact-based engineers would not.<p>Chances are it's going to be messier than projected, not being delivered on time... But in the long term it might be a net good for everyone involved ;)</p>

<p>I’m talking about that developer, yes. And I’m sure there’s more to the story than just ABI compatibility.<p>He wanted X11 to thrive. Freedesktop however has a goal for Wayland ultimately to replace X11, right? X11 should die. This is not hyperbole. It’s a stated goal.<p>So I think there’s more to the story than the simplified ABI aspect often mentioned here on HN.<p>Also Gnome killing X11 support is real.<p>So is KDE backing down on BSD-support.<p>These are facts, not opinions.</p>
