My second short story release in English is ready: Tales of Illustrious Computer Scientists: Iola Varga, nun and computer scientist. invece.org/iola.html

So it was not impossible... just super hard. This is the 48k Spectrum...

I'm worried to see people that think the right move is to question AI companies and narratives around AI regardless of logic and the actual significance of events we are living. They act just as an inverted flock, but still a flock. Sometimes it's fear of friends judgement.

Advices for young programmers.

When people talk about AI companies money flow they miss two fundamental things: 1. It is a winner takes all business. With ASI you take pharma, chips, ... 2. In the long term the idea we have of money will disappear.

Great new stuff from @redis is here: Redis Radar - understand and manage deployments across OSS and all Redis flavors Search on Flex - extends search to large-scale workloads with indexes stored on SSD And much more! redis.io/blog/redis-introduc…

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on Strix Halo. I spent the last week adding support to DwarfStar (@antirez ) and testing two ways to run it: SSD streaming on one 128 GB machine, or distributing the model across two nodes over TCP or RoCE. piped.video/1DaMkTuiCEQ

Jev may have its (narrow) use cases but the hype you see around is the perfect representation of the fact the greatest part of the AI bubble don't know what is important and what is not. Jev is a minor thing happening on AI compared to all the rest, yet the hype exploded.

Earlier this summer, I bought a 128 GB Framework Desktop just so I would have access to a large continuous block of unified memory to run frontier-adjacent models at home. I've been really inspired by @antirez's DS4 project which aggressively targets specific model+hardware combos. I recently became aware of @ilintar's project doing this specifically for Strix Halo and I'm really excited about it.

Please folks stop. AI is great if you use it for the right stuff. But each time you use it to interact with other people, there is a problem. Write less, even just a few words. But your words.

It looks simple to use

Current status (happening often for two days, with Astra)

Started yesterday as a joke without any code reference if not papers. Because of fillets already better than TinkerCAD for certain stuff. There is something odd, here: in theory open source should explode right now, but we don't have, apparently, folks motivated to do wonders.

At this point DwarfStar contains many fast fused kernels for important model families: feel free to steal everything you want from there according to the MIT license, in order to improve your own implementation.

Witch hunting level: some guy uses AI to reverse engineer an M4 GPU driver for Linux and part of the community that should be for the open source, for the hacking, for the liberation and freedom is against him.

The irreconcilable misunderstanding about AI is that for some of us is the way to remove suffering, inequality, limits from the human race. For others, a tool: and, right now, the capabilities are at tool level, giving the illusion that the tool is the point.

Please when listening to people that have the absolute truth at disposal, make sure to check the track record in the latest few years.
