You take current version and build on top of it. You have the weights.

You might not get some n+1 version at some point but the n version you will have will be still most likely much better than whatever you come up with burning good will money of people believing in „sovereignty”.

You are not getting ahead in this game by being „true to your local values” capital expenditure is insane in this game.

Terminal/CLI is superior if you know what you want to accomplish. There is no faster way of doing stuff on a computer if you know what you’re doing and having tab completion and knowing all the incantations.

GUI is superior when you have to figure out what to do and what needs to be done. GIT branches state checking, finding out a switch to enable a feature so much easier in graphical interfaces.

I find that what you call „annoying engineers” are just people who have their tools and use them efficiently … but once they have to step out of their path they become annoying or even obnoxious.

The opposite is random person who expects everything to be easy and available in less than 3 clicks — well good luck engineering an interface for complex system that does that, not everything is Facebook, there are systems where you need to spend time wrapping your head around.

VSCode it is based on is text editor.

AI features are great but it is not IDE.

I am pissed off by people calling Cursor an IDE … Cursor is text editor with AI agents bolted on. I still like what agents do and how the context is managed in Cursor but it is far far away from proper IDE.

I was expecting it would run Q8 in 50 tok/s.

I guess that’s good I stopped thinking about buying it because I would be disappointed.

Let me Google that for you.

supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, MQTTS, POP3, POP3S, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, Kerberos), file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and more!

libcurl is highly portable, it builds and works identically on numerous platforms, including Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, HPUX, IRIX, AIX, Tru64, Linux, UnixWare, HURD, Windows, Amiga, OS/2, BeOs, macOS, Ultrix, QNX, OpenVMS, RISC OS, Novell NetWare, DOS and more...

Mostly use of this expression.

I don’t get agent to read the meter for me - I can do that when I take the photo.

I send the photo to a bot that ingests photos from me and stores readings for me with date and time so later I can ask „what was last reading” or what was the usage between x and y dates”, without me having to make a perfect photo, without me having to dabble with OpenCV.

Even if it takes 30mins it is still useful for me.

Yesterday I downloaded Gemma4-26B with Ollama on quite rusty desktop with 1070 8gb and 32gb of ram and Core i5-9400.

I drop photo of my water meter and tell it to read the value and serial number. It was far from instant but it was also easily under 3 minutes and result was correct.

Earlier like in February I was trying the same photo with Gemma3 on the same hardware and results were bad.

Not sure how you are working but we have this novelty idea where people have daily meetings like 15 mins each day to update each other which tasks they are busy with.

We also have refinement meetings where people are involved in clarification for each task so they are not surprised by requirements.

So we do planning meetings every two weeks. Each ticket is tied to the code in commit.

So by code review time anyone doing CR has all of the information in few clicks and some of it already in their head.

You can’t just buy H100 there are government limits on that.

RTX4090 maybe has no government limits but NVidia is definitely limiting bulk orders per retailer. I guess if you buy a lot from each retailer you will most likely get flagged in one way or the other.

So there is no value in testing quality of answers, but there is value in testing token speed.

You just have to have correct expectations.

Just AI is real.

I say fad because I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime and I would say 90% it will never happen.

But that 10% possibility of it happening is important or 0.01% of possibility it happens in my lifetime.

It is important that people believe it is more than my numbers. It is important to spend money and work towards that goal.

Because alternative is much more terrifying.

I don't need your fluff. No one cares how you arrived writing another crud line to save an object to database or sent yet another AJAX call.

If you wrote some genuine great compression algorithm that's a different take on compression, I would like to see step by step reasoning and eventual dead ends.

The web stuff mostly uses licenses such as MIT, Apache 2.0, and BSD. GPL-licensed projects exist, but still many more on permissive side.

Web is based on open standards developed through organizations and specifications are publicly available, royalty-free, and implemented by multiple independent browser engines rather than being owned by a single corporation.
