Granite or sapphire rapids are very under rated for MoE inference loads. But you need a GPU for the KV cache.

Plus many boards also support CXL for RAM expansion over PCI 5!

I agree, codex app’s computer use agent feels sci-fi. Closest we’ve seen yet of a general purpose virtual worker.

Set up solar nodes last weekend. 200 miles of range now. Nerds, mad ideas. Good times.

Love meshtastic. There’s something about the setup friction that has the vibe of early internet, select community, high signal, nobody trying to monetize your attention.

Local hardware catching up doesn’t matter if the thing worth having never leaves the building. Enterprise services are hard, moat is in distribution and know how.

History suggests otherwise. railroads, telecoms, search all consolidated. The natural equilibrium for transformative infrastructure is winner take all. AGI/ASI won’t be different but will be nearly every vertical and governments will legislate too little too late.

I want the frontier on prem to be true but IMO not good enough yet unless async.

What started as all-you-can-eat $50 buffet has quietly become a $6k bill, frontier models that don’t ship your codebase to Beijing don’t come cheap anymore.

IMO assisted coding (auto complete style) has more flow state than the old days of getting stuck on obscure bugs (as satisfying as those were to crack).

Full agent coding however is the complete opposite, you’re in constant damage control of a junior who moves fast and breaks everything. They’ve got better but still do dumb mistakes.

lot of engineers are discovering firsthand what it’s like to manage a team of eager but useless employees. Not fun at all
