That's a cool new Web UI to check for LLM compatibility with your machine.

For those like CLI, llmfit is a great alternative that runs in your terminal and nicely filters out models compatible with your machine.

Are we saying, China is delivering on the Open AI promise?

Open Weights = Open AI

Let's go!

Yeah,a serverHold is placed by the Registrar.

It could be for a lot of reasons:

- spam, phishing or malware distribution

- contact verification issues

- trademark, copyright or cybersquatting legal issues

- or sometimes even errors or registrar transfer issues

It is a valuable and important domain for TG, most likely they'll resolve it soon

You guys can stop down voting.

This is not something we're advocating, instead talking the reality from observing across the industry.

Agreed, not our choice but isn't that the reality now?

True, There isn't one, there will be never one. Isn't that how we end up so many and it never ends.

In a world where AI can generate any code for any environment, is there a need for another language?

On the other hand, we're at a point for a binary language (or standard / framework) that one AI/LLM creates and another one validates.

What are we missing?

This is cool. Will try out soon.

Love that the way you said the rhymes part 'rhymes with “knack”, or the one that rhymes with “beams”, or the one that rhymes with “this gourd”'.

Just ran on Podman on a older hardware with intel CPU processor and ubuntu linux.

When given a large text, it nicely chunked them up (debug statements showed), generated the audio and played back nicely.

Well done!

This is Amazing and a game changer. Millions were spent during NLP era to achieve even <50% what this model offers.

Now this on a CPU is next level. When algorithms perform well on commodity hardware, the scale tips.

This gives hope that CPULLM's are not far off that'll be just fine for majority of use cases.

Yes, Java got complicated.

It's about time to simplify things (in the java universe & enterprise) and this is a good first effort, all the best!

Semicolon is also nice on the eyes compared to '&' we're used to today.

Why in the world this didn't gain traction?

namegulf — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:17:33 +0000

That's a popular tld for 'me' domains, like you said it's closer to .self in meaning but has better appeal

However .me (https://namegulf.com/tld/cctld/me) is a ccTLD managed by the Government of Montenegro, they set their own rules

At-least implement the submission form instead of redirecting to email the submission, lol!

New comment by namegulf in "The unreasonable effectiveness of simple HTML (2021)"

namegulf — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:52:59 +0000

You've a point. HTML is plain and simple, works and gets the job done. Presenting on the web (may be a little bit of light css).

Heavy CSS animations, Javascript bloat is what slows down the websites and literally ruins the web experience.

Why down vote a comment?

You're talking about one (yes, biggest) but millions of other bots don't follow must be a bigger story.

namegulf — Thu, 14 May 2026 21:36:33 +0000

Robots.txt is lame BTW, there is no way to enforce it. It is up to the bot to decide to crawl or not and most cases they don't care.

Cloudflare had a nice technic to address the bot problem (if you use their name servers). It'll respect and use the robots.txt while sending the remaining bots to a deep black hole.

Can you elaborate a bit about this?
