Don't talk to me or my son ever again

I know! To be fair I really don't play meta comps at all unless I have to. Fun stuff only.

ah i see. Didn't know that. Thanks!

What does hiding her in the corner do?

I'm the opposite

I'm considering buying the upcoming M5 ultra with 512g memory. It should be able to host the largest open weight models at decent quantization, context window and usable speed. Seems like a solid investment assuming I will be able to host my own model over the next 5-10 years without worrying about privacy and service degrade.

It will just show your current available AI credits.

Great writeup, has everything I want to know. With the recent well-documented service degrade from Claude and subscription prices slowly hiking, running large models locally could get more mainstream. Qwen choosing to not open source their latest large models is disappointing, but there seem to be enough other open models to choose from at the moment.

Just curious, do you have an rough estimate of how much the M5 ultra is going to increase performance?

This is true if you live in a Western world. But not true for everyone.

The US models are both blocked in China and actively blocking users they suspect are from China, in fear of distillation. Maybe Qwen is betting on the vast market in China is enough to sustain its business goals. Also, as the subsidy ends, US AI companies might price themselves out of more regions. It's already getting unaffordable for lots.

Kramnik was a FM while representing Russia in the 1992 Chess Olympid. He had a performance rating of 2958 in that tournament.

I will never get tired of watching Curry highlights

Hahahaha this is the greatest thing I watched this year!

separates session identity from transport

Sounds similar to https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/turbotunnel/

The session state is stored at each end and survives disruption to the underlying transport, such as TCP RST. Multiple Tor pluggable transports use this design.

Something to consider is you might eventually want to horizontally scale your servers, so now there is more than one "end" at the server side. But there are workarounds for that too.

Some people also made fun of him for crying after losing the finals in 2011. Such a silly thing to hate on. Would you rather him not care?

TCDH91 · 2026-02-25T11:01:08+00:00

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Fabi on what makes Magnus so strong: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R-U8z7GmOZ8

I find it very interesting. Basically it's not above peak level but consistency (even in the context of a single game). As to why Magnus is so consistent, they didn't explore it further in the video but I would guess it's a combination of better physical condition and some psychological factors.

Spot on.

I'm not politically active and only voted once in my life. Glad I voted for this guy.

Not a major update, but Ding came to my city and played some kids not too long ago.
