The mentioned “Qwen3.8-27B at Q6“ can be run on a <1500$ Mac mini and with the barest technical expertise.

Note: this does also not appear to have anything to do with music playback and having a thousand songs in your pocket.

Friendly note: your website's font at its current size is pretty bad on a non-retina display before zooming in.

Anyone who didn’t buy a 128GB Strix Halo system when they were 2500€ has only themselves to blame.

This should’ve been version 3.14.

Maybe they could put Fable onto creating a website that doesn't use 80% of the GPU on an Apple M2.

Most people in any nation aren't observant enough, without exception. Since it's the Japanese people whose opinion counts here, it's their turn right now to be called out for it.

ETH Zürich is up there high, particularly for computer science.

The LLM they were involved in last year (Apertus) still was a letdown.

As someone who actually went there, my impression is that Europe in general is complacent when it comes to computers, and any bright eyed student will get their motivation choked out of them in academia here.

If you want to do things with AI in Europe, you can have a bigger effect by working for a consulting company than being at a university. That's … not a good sitatution.

1) usable for most tasks != pleasent to use for most tasks

2) using an Intel Mac as your main computer, for most tasks != using it as a home server

And given the performance jump from Intel to Apple Silicon, the perceived difference is 10+ years even.
