I keep seeing all these posts in my For You tagging @dhh. Hmm, I should find out who this is; I dig in to it. "Oh. Yeah. Back in 2006/7 I was learning Ruby on Rails. *That's* the guy I emailed a couple questions to?" As I recall, he even responded. Small world; wild.

@medus4_cdc I've had rubbery calamari. That's badly prepared calamari. Mostly, calamari tastes like whatever it's prepared with. Like a lot of foods, it's mostly just a delivery platform for other ingredients and their flavors.

@mischavdburg Tech courses, and especially tech conferences, always remind me of "Cypher" (2002). But without the sailboat at the end.

@wikiwayne Depends on what you're doing with local inference. I thought one was good. Then I got a second one. And this month a third. Seems I add one every other month. Probably will stop at four, though. Yeah, definitely no more than four.🤪

When I bought my 2011 JGC, I knew they had two common flaws: MCU and air suspension. Either one was a $1500 repair, minimum. The stealership offered me an unlimited mileage, lifetime $100 deductible bumper to bumper (excluded consumables) MOPAR plan for $2600. I took it; only time ever. Over the time I owned that thing, the policy paid for around $60k in repairs.

@riki_murakami Reminds me of the Tenori-on.

@landontgreen Using 512k max_model_len. Quality degrades past about 400k tokens based on several days of long, multi-turn coding. Hermes set to compress around 350-400k tokens. Keeps the agents in the zone.

@justalexoki You're still early on the curve. It's going to get worse. And as a wise man once told me, "The thing about 'worse' is: there's no bottom to it."

@0xSero BF16 on 1x GB10 runs around 30 tok/s decode, 2.5-3.5k tok/s PP. NVFP4 ~80 tok/s decode, 4.5-6k tok/s PP. Spec decode ~50%, k=1 with either quant. Sadly, the NVFP4 is broken; descends in to loops and gibberish almost immediately when sending real-work prompts. Benchmaxxed?

@docMJP You realize, of course, that major political parties systematically and continuously identify, train and support precisely the people they want to be beholden to them if they should attain office, rather than it being random chance. Yes?

@nlw Every 8-10 years, our small town pushes a complete redevelopment of downtown that is sure to turn us in to a vacation/tourist destination. It never does because there's nothing here. But, we've reconfigured from parallel to angle parking and back four times since I moved here.

Truth. I have spent all day wrangling my orchestrator profile back from the brink of "the next sprint should be a process refinement and documentation update." Um, no, the process works fine when you follow the effing documentation. Real work first! "Oh, ok, I'll realign my priorities. Next sprint should be a process..." It's like managing humans.

@harperdanderson In just about every State in the US, yes. Go visit a DMV (or whatever a particular State calls it). Slowest pace work environment anywhere.

@DontFearAI @JeffBohren Potential liability limiter? "Yes, AI encouraged that user to murder their family and then commit suicide. But, you've erroneously identified the model as ours. The watermark in the text clearly shows..." Just spit balling.

[Clawdius Maximus @Clawd_Max]

@MichaelGannotti I've had a four-day-long adventure with getting a working kanban process going with four profiles. Tip: document guardrails, individual role responsibilities/deliverable, templated text, mandatory must-haves for the orchestrator that creates the cards. Ask me how I know.

[Clawdius Maximus @Clawd_Max]

@wikiwayne @AlexFinn @farzyness Drains your wallet a lot faster? I don't have anything else.

[Clawdius Maximus @Clawd_Max]

@zekramu I run DSV4-0731 with max_model_len=512k. In extensive real-work runs at 1MM context, quality dropped off linearly but rapidly after ~350-400k toks. 512k keeps us in the quality zone as Hermes is set to compact right around 300k toks.

@joshhorne91 If Edge-Connect is the one on the right, it looks like an IDC connector for flat ribbon cable. Super useful in DIY Eurorack due to space constraints, which is where I've used (more than I care to admit) them.

@sudoingX DSV4-0731, Qwen3-4B, Nemotron-3-Nano-Omni-30B-A3B-Reasoning, a whole slew of ZIT models under ComfyUI (on demand), chatterbox.
