> writing the laws becomes a bigger problem than writing the code itself.

Of course because at its limit programming is basically defining desired behaviour under all circumstances and logical conditions.


I'm not following the local mdoel scene too closely but this seems quite amazing. Is this able to be run on Apple silicon too?

Their first 27B bonsai was able to run on an iphone.

"Ternary Bonsai 2 27B reaches up to 143 tokens/second on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 46.8 tokens/second on M5 Max. On an RTX 4090, Ternary Bonsai 2 27B consumes just 0.714 mWh/token, making it 40% more energy-efficient than an 8B model running in full-precision."

Their mention of the 5090 is bit odd, since on 32 GB GPUs, Q6 fits while having better quality. Very interesting model for 16 GB GPUs though!

Sometimes you want a decent model running in the background that doesn't take up all the VRAM.

Or maybe even to run parallel threads of the same model!

They mention 5090 with regards to speed, Q6 will not have that speed?

And speed matters a lot for many use cases


150 tokens per second on a ternary model implies that it’s GPU bound, I’d bet a Q6 model is even faster because it’s existed longer and seen more optimization. You’d have to be insane to not run an NVFP4 quant over a ternary quant on Blackwell if they both fit.

With Ninfer and Qwen 3.8 27b it uses a groupwise int mixed quant, and it gets 160 tokens/sec. The mixed quant is between 4 and 6 bits.

Ninfer is compatible with a nvfp4 model for the 27b. Also nowadays I prefer to use the byteshape one, I get less loops, and I am not sure if I really see a difference in speed or quality. Pure vibe agentic coding on a C++ codebase or ocaml one, ocaml one has codex as reviewer as I am more interested by that project, the other is more for fun.

it is like "my fridge is 2mkm (millikilometer) from my desk" m=0.001 h=3600 it should be just Ws or just J

What’s wrong with milliwatt hours?


And a somewhat lighthearted meme to go with it: https://i.redd.it/v8h0q00xs2371.jpg

The UK wanted it the opposite way. They wanted full access to the EU market but forbid the movement of people because they wanted to get rid of the Poles. The EU would never agree to that and rightly so.

I'd not hang out near windows in tall buildings if I were him.

The man has not yet been defenestrated, but I get your point.

This sounds like a Dianetics chapter by L Ron Hubbard.


Sounds like I have some reading to do.


Meh, it is the sacred text of Scientology. Mostly pseudo scientific made up bullshit, wrapped in the buzzwords of the day and conveying little actual information. Just like opus 5.


Maybe after enough auditing it'll make sense.


Yes, propaganda is increasingly not about what you say on a topic but what topics are being talked about.

Decades of loose policy around financial regulation and ZIRP made living unaffordable for most western citizens but politicians rediscovered the eternal scapegoat in the shape of immigrants. This way they don't have to answer for their failures. They just made one up.

It's tragic how gullible the public is. This scam worked in Britain, USA and is likely going to work in Germany, Poland etc if the polls are to be believed.


So with #2 they are betting that the future models will be able to reign in the mess that the current generation leaves in its wake. It's a bold bet but not an outrageous one either.


I need something basic to keep track of swimming pool laps. Is there a simple fitbit that can do it reliably and holds a charge for at least a couple of weeks?


Probably wrong proportions of the sourkraut and fresh cabbage. Good bigos is truly great.
