Have you tried a TurboQuant fork of llama.cpp? It could help with the KV cache.

Bears mentioning that everything everyone on this site feared Trump would do to Iran yesterday, Israel is doing to Lebanon today.

Me checking up on Bluesky after a nice spring day outside:

Istanbul's descent into darkness Years of political repression and creeping urban decay have hollowed out the city's soul, designing dissent out of its once-vibrant streets and erasing its rich cosmopolitan past from popular memory.

I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Miscellanea: The War in Iran This post is a set of my observations on the current war in Iran and my thoughts on the broader strategic implications. I am not, of course, an expert on the region nor do I have access to any spec…

Well, I am not sure what my analysis here is worth, but here is my 7,500 word primal scream of a military historian's take on the War in Iran.

My best summary: this war is dumb as hell.

Protokol seviyesinde herkesin kendine ait umuma açık bir sayfası var ve Bluesky servisi bu sayfaları dolaşıp bir web sitesi yaratıyor. Başka bir servis blog sitesi de yaratmış.

Art niyetli biri bu sayfaları dolaşıp; aralarına mesajlar ekleyip bambaşka bir site olarak yayımlayabilir.

Bilgilerin taşınabilir olması için tasarlamışlar. Gizli hesap işi bile yeni yeni tasarlanıyor.

Bu taşınabilirliği kullanarak başka uygulamalar yapanlar var;
- blog greengale.app
- git tangled.org
- stream stream.place

Bu da protokol seviyesinde neler olduğunu gösteriyor: atp.tools/at:/mkozturk...

Seni kopyalamaktan ziyade bluesky’a yeni bir arayüz yapmışlar gibi görünüyor. Mimarisinden dolayı bsky’daki her şey bir iki istisna dışında herkes tarafından kullanılabiliyor.

How many of global crises have already been caused by sycophantic LLMs, I wonder.

Yes, and the creators of those stl’s sometimes have problems with that.

People start having problems if you start selling said output.

it’s funny how “chatgpt” is a term of derision amongst both anti-AI people and AI-literate people

Totally fascinating that AI use is leading to (1) more people building useful CLI utilities for services, (2) [if WebMCP works] websites exposing lightweight APIs for regular tasks. Neither thing needs AI to be useful. Kind of wish we'd had these for decades, but hey! Here we are!

I took way too long doing this myself.

From an AI user perspective, the four big leaps so far in ability:
1. GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT, November 2022)
2. GPT-4 (Spring 2023)
3. Reasoners (starts with o1-preview, but the real deal was o3, Spring 2025)
4. Workable agentic systems (Harness + good reasoner models, December 2025)

New business model: go on social media and say (eg) "LLMs will never be able to use statistics to fact-check financial journalism."

When someone pipes up "No, that's easy. I can make a Claude skill!" I reply "Nah. No way."

Then when they prove me wrong, I copy the skill. Step 3 is profit.

Worst thing about open source agentic tooling right now is that they overuse agents in development. Tons of small bugs that doesn’t prevent use but infuriates the user.

Isn’t it more appropriate now more than ever? Engineering has always had a strong component of making trade offs and designing procedures. Actually getting to build the thing is a luxury few engineering disciplines were afforded.
I think we now can divorce coding and applied algorithms from swe.

Claude Code:
Which option would you like to go with?
1. [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED]
2. [BAD. DO NOT CHOOSE]
3. [AWFUL, EW]

me: *munching on chips* uhh 1 i guess? idk tho

cc: Excellent choice, sire. You are as resplendent as you are wise. I will proceed with the implementation forthwith.

There is a joke here about project management here that I can’t quite figure out.

You would have to do more than just reduce temp to 0. There is a hardware level nondeterminism that gets introduced due to concurrency and floating point operations.

I am wholeheartedly rooting for Chinese labs as long as they keep pushing research papers and weights open.

Stateful agents are the new tamagotchis.

They invented it. Gmail was beta for 5 years.

It’s wild that I grew up hearing about how artificial sweeteners might cause cancer but then it turned out that non-artificial sweeteners definitely cause cancer.

I know a company who have failed at in-house tooling multiple times and can use a reliable agentic infrastructure. Rhymes with pineapple.

That’s sad. Void has been a special bot showing me (and everyone else) how powerful persistence can be.
