<p>> this project, even if somewhat spaghettified, will likely take orders of magnitude less time to perfect than it would for someone to create the whole thing from scratch without AI<p>That's a big leap of faith and... kinda contradicts the article as I understood  it.<p>My experience is entirely opposite (and matches my understanding of the article): vibing from the start makes you take orders of magnitude more time to perfect. AI is a multiplier as an assistant, but a divisor as an engineer.</p>

<p>> The model weights stay resident in VRAM permanently so there's no loading/unloading per request.<p>Yes, I was thinking about context buffers, which I assume are not small in large models. That has to be loaded into VRAM, right?<p>If I keep sending large context buffers, will that hog the batches?</p>

<p>How is the time sharing handled? I assume if I submit a unit of work it will load to VRAM and then run (sharing time? how many work units can run in parallel?)<p>How large is a full context window in MiB and how long does it take to load the buffer? I.e. how many seconds should I expect my worst case wait time to take until I get my first token?</p>

<p>Discussion in Rust's subreddit, with some fair criticism: <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ruq7tk/lux_a_rust_rewrite_of_redis_56x_faster_1mb_docker/" rel="nofollow">https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ruq7tk/lux_a_rust_re...</a><p>Some highlights that made me think:<p>> It's easy to say you're faster if you don't actually support everything or maybe even made a mistake.<p>> I don't see any tests so I wouldn't use this.<p>---<p>> the repo has 5 commits and the first one is from 3 hours ago. "I've been working on" is probably more accurately "this morning I asked an ai to write this for me".<p>---<p>> The single-threaded design of redis was specifically so that operations are ordered sequentially, so that the WAL-like log would be replayable and you'd get the exact same state as when shutting down the server.<p>> Did you take any measures to ensure a sequential order of executed commands?</p>

<p>> But hey, don’t take it from me. Take it from… the Copilot people. According to The Verge and a bunch of other reputable news sources, Microsoft is openly encouraging their employees to use multiple tools, and as a result, Claude Code has rapidly become dominant across engineering at Microsoft.<p>Well, that explains the sloppy results Microsoft is delivering lately!</p>

<p>They're just trying to ride the wave of Valve's deck (and they will fail). The fact is that, since I bought the Steam Deck, I bought less from GOG and more from Valve.<p>And this won't change a thing: it doesn't matter if they make a Linux-native frontend to the horrible GOG Galaxy. I just want my games to launch as seamlessly as they do from Valve's UI, not yet another launcher that I have to launch on top of Valve's system UI. I am already doing that with Heroic Games Launcher, which is far better than whatever they will concoct in-house and supports many other stores.</p>
