also, I think this 12GB Q3_S is the best low-bit quant if you're looking to shave a few GB off of Qwen3.8:

I think the bonsai ternary models are cool but it's worth noting that their '98% benchmark performance' claims are heavily cherry-picked. empirically it is not anywhere close to 98% as good overall as ≥4-bit Qwen 3.8 27B.

we have Jev at home; the Jev at home: Qwen3-reranker

there's a Fujifilm camera that can simulate other, older Fujifilm camera technologies in software. very cool — I suggest other manufacturers do this as well. iPhone 18 with an iPhone 5 mode in the camera app

i 🤍 imposing structures

Many people are afraid of imposing structures that they don't know anything about. Cell towers, data centers, power plants, etc. One solution that I'm thinking about is to put an informative plaque at the entrance or the base of such constructs, that says what it does and how it works.

I now realize that no single gpu can pull it off. you can't do physically based rendering of a cloud. personal computing has a long, long way to go

clouds are really difficult to simulate... you'd think some video game would have implemented clouds really well, but it's never been done

need a drone with the ceiling removed; sadly mine is unhackable… hmm

California sounds crazy... anyway, I stand with Chinese Open-Source Developers against Anthropic, safetyism, Elon Musk, et al.

i keep seeing 'this is all a psyop' takes from totally-not-effective-altruist-or-rationalist people so as one of the chief belligerents i want to make it clear that i am a free actor and i just do not like your faction everyone who knows who you guys are just saw you almost win and it terrified us

it turned to be a blended model, 'pareto' by unbiased dot ai. from the day I spent coding with it: it seems fine, not quite as strong as Deepseek V4.1 Flash ime, compared to which it's unfortunately way too expensive to be worth consideration.

have you ever looked at a cracked CD case with polarized sunglasses on? relive the experience with my strained glass simulator: asa.engineer/strain/

despite advancements in recent years, monitors and cameras are still not very good. I hope for a monitor where you can display a wide angle video that shows the sun, and the blindingly bright sun really lights up the room with strong directional light, and can also display a convincing purple flower

single-shot compaction that takes place at the end of the context window is a horrible idea. agents need a robust memory system and it needs to update frequently and early, and compaction needs to leave a substantial chunk of the previous context intact

fiend - build 3D stuff with your agent in the browser connect the mcp server, ask your agent to make a new scene and get a link. you can point out areas for feedback and prompt it further works beautifully with opencode2's codemode

alright, let's start with a singularity takeoff dry run. then if all goes well we'll kick of the real one next week

I've successfully 'updated all the way' and am no longer surprised by advancements in AGI or the singularity/ASI.

who's got a favorite implementation of a harness-agnostic local message board for your multiple agents on your computer? I'm sure they can figure it out themselves, but if you want to just set it up a nice version of it that's ready to go? and how do you make it easily discoverable?
