Spun up qwen 3.8 on my m5 max MBP with 64GB and I think this could be a daily driver model, as a co-agent with a Claude/openai model Very impressed The era of local LLM might actually be near

It's fun to see Ghibli being fairly amused by western radicalized anti-AI sentiment. "Anyone positioning Ghibli in the vanguard of the AI backlash,ä was twisting events for their own purposes. If the late co-founder Isao Takahata were still alive, he’d probably be first in line to give it a whirl."

Studio Ghibli’s Biggest Secret Is What Comes Next

Hayao Miyazaki and his animators have had a legendary run of classics. They’re not in the biggest rush to make another.

In Japan, the Ghibli executives watched the OpenAI saga play out, unbothered. There has long been a tradition, Goro says, of fans making amateur art derived from their favorite manga, anime or video game characters. So the Ghiblification craze didn’t seem like a big deal. For amusement, one of the company’s executives even dabbled in the trend himself. “We didn’t think much of it, to be honest,” Goro says. “If someone started making a lot of money out of it, then it would be a problem.” Anyone positioning Ghibli in the vanguard of the AI backlash, Goro says, was twisting events for their own purposes; the studio itself was essentially AI agnostic. If the late co-founder Isao Takahata were still alive (he died in 2018), Goro says, he’d probably be first in line to give it a whirl. “He was someone who was very interested in the latest technology,” he says. “We’re not denying, or feeling negative, about AI technology itself.”

Related: We need to standardize on one true tokenizer and have everybody just use it. Like how we settled on ASCII (eventually) and then Unicode, we need an international standard tokenization. Which of my mutuals is working on this?

Dear computer people: I am no longer interested in knowing how many bytes a file is. Please let me put in an API endpoint and show me file sizes in tokens instead.

If you're a biologist, especially one in a field that has a history of eugenics and racism (which absolutely includes my own field of evolutionary biology) and you choose to remain "neutral" as race science once again crawls out from under its rock, you are not in fact neutral.

Claude’s Tokenizer May Use Just 15,000 Vocabulary Entries They reverse engineered Claude’s tokenizer closely enough to match Claude’s token counts exactly across 500+ human languages and 22 programming languages.

The new Qwen 3.7 27B, running as a 17GB GGUF in LM Studio on my M5 Max MacBook Pro, just drew me the best pelican riding a bicycle I've seen from any model that runs on my laptop

The pelican has the right shaped beak. The red bicycle has the correct shape of frame. The pelican's wing reaches the handlebars. It has legs on both side of the bicycle. There is a pleasing set of clouds, birds, sun, grass and shadow on the image, plus motion lines behind but not in front of the bird.

Twitch has rolled out a new "feature" that trains Amazon's generative AI content models on its users' channels. The setting can be disabled, but it's turned on by default. https://bit.ly/4wYx2nz

NEW: General Dynamics opened a Texas factory to churn out artillery shells for Ukraine, but the machines kept breaking. Robot arms smashed into things. Hunks of metal crashed to the floor. There was even a real-life dumpster fire.

Meta’s 30B Glimmer model had an extra 2k “reserved tokens”, i.e. tokens that aren’t mapped to text or images what to do… a new modality! this guy mapped them to human body motions and added some training. x.com/andrew_n_car...

Private website ownership is not only still possible in 2026 but also cheaper and easier than it’s ever been. I cannot underscore this enough lol. It can be as cheap as 9 a year for the domain if your hosting is free (otherwise can be under 10/mo) and as easy as using a template

waitamin are you saying... you're saying that other computing... it also has externalities? we just didn't calculate them in any way because the computing applications were not politically contested?

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.
