<p>Only 30 tok/s on Qwen 3.8 Flash Next? These days thanks to those specialized engines out there I can get ~2x that speed on a 24 GB video card with RAM offload. Thermal limits, I assume...<p>I wonder how its performance is on dense models.</p>

<p>Yeah, the documentary was going hard on the dissonant horror movie strings right from the opening.<p>And near the end, that bubbly euphoric/revelatory ascending arpeggio was a common motif.</p>

<p>Passkeys only give a random public key + some capability bits, whereas almost all password logins ask for your email or phone number, for the inevitable reset dance likely facilitated over antiquated email or SMS. Realistically the latter is much leakier.</p>

<p>I think it’s similar to the reasoning behind HN stripping numbers from clickbait headlines. Numbers feel salient even when they represent nothing at all, because numbers are used universally in every field of human study and endeavor. Unlike field-specific jargon.</p>

<p>I've been experimenting with a Remarkable Paper Pro.<p>Additive inking works pretty well. As long as I am adding black ink to the page, everything is responsive. But if I want to push other updates asynchronously, or (god forbid) erase something, then there is the danger of clobbering the user's inkwork. I don't have any deep insights here, beyond waiting for human confirmation before updating anything.<p>I wonder if it is possible to detect when the pen tip has "left" the proximity of the page? If I knew this, I'd know when it was safe to update the UI.<p>I have decided not to use any scrolling at all. I am paginating everything and positioning input areas near the vertical middle of the device for comfort.</p>

<p>I was daydreaming of a special LLM setup wherein each token of the vocabulary appears twice. Half the token IDs are reserved for trusted, indisputable sentences (coloured red in the UI), and the other half of the IDs are untrusted.<p>Effectively system instructions and server-side prompts are red, whereas user input is normal text.<p>It would have to be trained from scratch on a meticulous corpus which never crosses the line. I wonder if the resulting model would be easier to guide and less susceptible to prompt injection.</p>

<p>apparently this is the source: <a href="https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw</a><p>The fan increases air speed at the centre of the rotor, creating a low pressure zone which then sucks in surrounding air. So it helps to place the fan away from the window (roughly far enough that the wind cone "fits" the opening).</p>
