> Windows is not supported.

Any particular reason?

Not able to develop and test it on Windows and I hit some blocker on arm64 cross compiling so I've skipped it for now, sticking with macOS and Linux. Are you a Windows user?

> I don't understand why we even give the right an opportunity to speak on immigration

"People I disagree with should not have a right to speak"

I don't know about you, but to me this sounds exactly like the type of fascist rhetoric everyone warns about.

You really should have read the rest of that extremely short comment.

Giving them an opportunity to speak on immigration by handling it so badly.

If I don't put out a fire, you can come along and suggest pouring kerosene on it, and if I handle shit badly enough, people might say hey, why not. But if I put the fire out while you're still a toddler, what can you do? Suggest to start a fire and pour kerosene on it?

> to me this sounds exactly like the type of fascist rhetoric everyone warns about

Well going by what you just did, I would have to guess you would say this about just about anything except fascist rhetoric. To try to twist something to harmless and banally true as the above into some sinister fascist ideology, while shrugging off people calling the Holocaust a "Fliegenschiss", who plan to abolish education about that time, does have a Gschmäckle.

You have completely misread what he is saying. See Denmark - mainstream parties started to be harder on immigration and all the right wing parties in Denmark essentially evaporated.

Highly disagree that either is more sensible than the other, especially given how each culture actually uses dates in their speech.

Or we could follow Japan and just use ISO 8601 directly and write 2026-08-09.

> why wouldn't someone just spend that $1,999 on maxing out their MacBook specs

Perhaps they don't want a new/upgraded machine or prefer a more portable solution.

Ancient models, at < 30t/s, for $2,000? Neat device but I'll have to pass.

I think it's basically an NPU hanging off a USB connection, so it can be used as a compute device for local LLM inference instead of your existing CPU/GPU.

Qwen3.8-27B.

The knowledge and accuracy for its size is mind-boggling, especially for something I can run on my existing desktop from 2022, away from prying eyes.

"It's weird seeing someone pay for food when they have a garden at home."

It's weird seeing someone promote home gardening by selling grocery store products.

LLMs can be self hosted though. Using Claude to build a self hosting platform is a bit like telling people they should be vegan while you're eating a bacon sandwich.

In what way are those remotely similar?

Veganism is incompatible with bacon. You can self-host, and also pay for cloud services when they are better than what you can self-host.

If anything it's like suggesting making food instead of getting takeout while buying bread from the store, because it's better than what you can make at home.

Agreed. And conversely, American models can also just as easily be secretly influenced for bad things, or be more tightly controlled by the government, to corporate America's own detriment.

Post-IPO I'd trust the American models far far less than the Chinese models.

The most insidious advertising in the world is about to be surfaced as people use LLMs to look for product recommendations.

It's wild that people are so lost in the sauce of social media that they have no qualms handing over all their data to an authoritarian ethno state with a single ruler who appointed themselves for life with unrestricted unilateral control over every aspect of the state. And here we are calling for collapse because mom might get recommended Gain instead of Tide.

Sorry, how does running a local model hand over my data?

You are very confused about the security and what can happen here.

The context here of comparing trust between American models (which are mostly centrally hosted) to Chinese models (rather than "local" models) implies trust levels in who is hosting.

American local models don't hand over data either, which would nullify the point of the comment.

For most people around the world America is more of a threat than China. Heck for most Americans the American government is more of a threat than the Chinese government.

trump has named himself dictator for life now? when did that happen?

What's even more wild to me is that basically ALL modern electronics and all modern batteries are made from raw materials sourced by forced and child labor (and sometimes both)... yet the vast majority of the entire world just turns a blind eye to it.

https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/gKMYRcEIeE9j.png

This is very confused, first the world does not turn a blind eye, and by having US purchasers of these products the US is actually forcing a big change in the standards for the better due to purchasing power. In particular the US has avoided huge amounts of potential purchase in solar, largely under the justification of avoiding forced Chinese labor.

Second, the "ALL" qualification is extremely wrong, as only small fractions of these products in the US could ever be sourced to the human rights violations cited here.

America's own demise will be made in America, stamped by American laws

From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide. ― Abraham Lincoln

Jia Tan would disagree.

The overwhelmingly vast majority of open-source code isn't actually looked at or audited. Yes it's there for all to see, but that doesn't mean it's doing any good at the moment, in this context.
