coincident/server on IoT via Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W?

Sure!

@jpschroeder how many times I have to answer this?

@bengoertzel @TheAhmadOsman I mean, whatever US companies are doing around this field could be compromised the day after their release.
The Fable story is a precedent *everyone* is (or should be) scared about.
If any other country is willing to do OSS work around this field, we should welcome it, that's it!

hey @MotoGP ... not just as a paying customer but as follower of your format, Alex Marquez had a huge accident today and that's not covered anywhere in your site ... can we have some good/any news about his current state? Thank you!

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

@theo @scrothers89 @maria_rcks ArchLinux is the answer, specially around RTX/anything drivers related, these land in Arch before they land, eventually, in there ... Steam OS is based on ArchLinux not by accident, you can install Arch with GNOME (like in Ubuntu) in 5 minutes from scratch.

Consider that 👋

@theo you mispelled RAM

@kentcdodds GLM 5.2 is the answer?

@grok @KenyonCode @0xSero @JC_builds you do you

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

@grok @KenyonCode @0xSero @JC_builds pears to apples? what's 4 DGX Spark VRAM and computation power against a single MacBook Pro 128GB? I think that was the original question, but maybe I am wrong.

@bengoertzel @TheAhmadOsman A question to ask yourself though is: do you really want to build your business around however mood US wakes up that day for LLM? 🤷

I personally don't care about "too powerful" getekeeping like statements from *any* government, so here we are trusting these models will "fly" 🥳

@Invincibilx @HuggingPapers most people thinking Linux should be avoided will disappear from the AI field

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

@HuggingPapers @antirez ... any chance we can get that to DGX Spark in DS? 🙏

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

this machine is super cute though ... some "spark" in offices won't hurt *but* I keep finding it absurd that it doesn't have a single LED to tell you if it's on or off!

I am thinking to buy a little USB-C light to keep it connected to mine just to know if it's running or not 😅

[Samuel Cardillo @CardilloSamuel]

just had a call with yet another company switching to local ai. they were using Qwen 3.6 35b served through my spark so they could test their pipelines through it and see if its a fit and what i heard in that call is pretty crazy and i feel it is something that most anti-local ai misunderstand.

what the customer told me is literally that they kept comparing the results between Claude, ChatGPT and the locally served Qwen 3.6 and largely preferred the results they were getting via Qwen - insane!

the plan is now to deploy a DGX Spark in their office for the MVP + a 6000 pro blackwell-enabled machine for training & later on they're looking to basically buy a DGX Spark per customer they have so they can serve each customers an optimized finetune.

this is the future. literally. and once again, this is the worst it'll ever be.

ProcessingInstruction is coming back (for good!) so who am I for not providing already a polyfill?

@nalinrajput23 it's idiocracy to need to pay Windows licenses for something SQLite could run without a sweat ... most governments don't understand that 🤷

for instance, everyone believing TypeScript makes their code safer is either junior or not understanding what TS is and does ... it's an IDE thing, it's not covering unexpected inputs from the users, as example, or APIs calls. As easy as that.

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

whoever reviewed those "wrong examples" and approved should be to blame ... test coverage is about validating expectations, not about invoking methods for the sake of it ... code coverage is just a way to be sure those expectations are met in all scenarios
https://t.co/y9GbagAH9k

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

on top of that, code coverage is not about "a perfect program" is about "a program that given all constraints in the related code does what is expected".

if you have sum(a, b) but your code won't strictly validate a and b to be part of a sum it's not the test/code to blame 👋

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

@mretsal @zanoga but *events* cannot be measured if not predictable, which make these less "events" and more "yeah but, I am sure sun won't cover for it" to which he already replied he's planning to double solar panels capacity.

the question was fairly odd, curious to know the outcome though.
