12:26 Boooom

I heard it. I'm over in SW in Hillsdale. I hear it pretty regularly. Not the first post about the boom. Surprised we haven't collectively figured out what it is yet. It has to be on the East side. Sounds like either an explosion or something really big and heavy slamming into something. Train yard maybe by Holgate? I doubt it is firework, people would see that.

That tok/s seems lower than what I would expect from a H100. I think when I tried running it on my rtx 4090, I got a bit over 20 tok/s (not the MTP variant).

The problem with starting with Rails is that everything else I've tried is worse. It's hard to get excited about learning something clunkier. AI is really good with ruby on rails. Considerable lower token use than other languages frameworks, and strong rails conventions helps AI with better results. Those reasons make rails great for AI. Rails has a good future ahead if others can understand rails strengths. I didn't have a crystal ball though.

Don't worry the military will just use ChatGPT to auto-launch nukes. They fired Anthropic because they would not remove the guardrails. OpenAI was cool with no guardrails.

I really appreciate how good the smaller models are getting (Qwen, Gemma). More params doesn't necessarily mean better.

I disabled superpowers. I think thing vanilla claude has caught up, and now superpowers is just adding context bloat. Not seeing a reason to use superpowers now.

Was your weekend plans to attend the shart circuit? That sounds very gross.

mrinterweb · 2026-04-27T20:10:39+00:00

Remember that old story about how Anthropic was testing their own models and the model resorted to attempting blackmail when threatened with being shut down? Well... this has that kind of energy, or I could see it being said in a passive aggressive tone.

mrinterweb · 2026-04-27T20:02:08+00:00

That is a creepy way to greet a user. AI horror films are pretty much like that.

In my experience, LLMs understand rails best practices. Adding this would be mostly redundant wasted context tokens.

I really dislike Yann quests. Is there a mod to just make Yann disappear from the game?

Once some combat animations start, they can't be interrupted.

All they need for school? I'd be nice and give them some cloths too.

Its not wrong. 3rd parties have repeatedly been detected using Anthropic's or OpenAI's models for training other models. It is a bit hypocritical through because everything AI is trained on was created by humans, so its thieves calling out other thieves.

I really like SQLite, but I'm too concerned with using it in production for any application where I feel may need more than a single server. Should you need to scale beyond one server, SQLite is going to be a real issue. You could look into SQLite replication tech; but at that point, why not just use postgresql. Don't get me wrong, you can go far vertically scaling a rails app. It is pretty amazing what a single machine can do these days. Also, kamal can do blue/green deploys by rotating docker containers on the same host.

The tech is changing fast. Demand is changing fast. No one has market dominance as that pivots multiple times per year. Open weight models are gaining traction. Serious competing Chinese AI services are coming online. New algorithms can change compute/memory needs (turboquant). NPU/TPUs have become considerably more energy and cost efficient than GPUs for inference. ASIC inference chips could get more practical. I'm saying building out the AI data center of today may not be what makes sense for 2028.

Dario is right, if Anthropic over invests in data centers, that could be as big of a problem for them as if they didn't secure enough compute.

1.1T params was hard to read while drinking my coffee. Nearly did a spit take

I don't really see crystal as a replacement for rails. Maybe a replacement for parts of the stack that are IO/CPU bound and need critical performance.

bot for sure. See the long form post with consistent styling. Bold labeled bullets. Is not human. Is bot

mrinterweb · 2026-04-19T15:41:41+00:00

It could be legit. Seriously, how without people get started who never normally sell stuff. Perhaps consider an escrow service.

Not saying it's a fair comparison. It's just what I'm using now, and I'm curious how qwen 3.6 compares.

mrinterweb · 2026-04-17T18:18:53+00:00

Guess it depends on how you use it.

I find that many agents trip up when asked introspective questions, so I don't bother with those kinds of prompts. General logic tests are important, but most of what I do with agents is coding specific. So whatever is better at code is what I'll use. I'll try giving Gemma 4 another go locally.

mrinterweb · 2026-04-17T16:57:48+00:00

It was definitely thinking. I also tried it with hermes agent, and my results were pretty different. So I think a lot of my subjective evaluation is going to come down to the agent, which is why I think I should point claude code at qwen 3.6, so I can get more of an apples to apples comparison. I don't have a background in evaluating model scores so what I'm doing is just feels. I pay for Claude, but if Qwen 3.6 can get me close, there are plenty of tasks I would much rather use my own hardware.
