Article has a few decent remarks, but ultimately it fails to deliver anthropologic, grounded, humane interpretation without narrow worldview and ideological biases of it's author.

BF16 with no QAT quants == half backed bread

My uninformed(about this particular enterprise) but educated guess: if tomorrow VC funding evaporates all this network cease to exists. I guess based on feely that 80% of all of these Relays, PDS, Apps including, Bsky are all from few if not one company, meaning centralized behind the curtain, but decentralized evangelism. It is very possible I am completely wrong, and so be it.

Computing platform with retired phones is not going to happen unless manufacturers add some budged for this to the motherboard design, expose high bandwidth interface similar to pci-e or usb4, we have now 80GB/s RAM phones with less than 1GB/s usb3 interfaces to the this beast computers, it is absurd.

Feudals doing backroom deals.

SpaceX IPO + https://x.ai/news/anthropic-compute-partnership

  Anthropic rents the entire Colossus 1 data center and other compute capacity from SpaceX, which acquired xAI. Under the agreement, Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion a month, totaling roughly $45 billion for a multi-year lease

Interesting idea, but it would be nice to preserve very minimal signal from color, tunable as one feels, something like this with Stylus extension:

  @-moz-document domain("youtube.com") {
  body { filter: grayscale(95%)contrast(110%); }
  }

I wish labs would do QAT and release these quants, at this point looking at releases of bf16 without QAT feels like looking at half backed bread, we can quantized it but it is not the same as QAT. Or I am missing something here ?

It is a lunacy, complete delusion to think that privately owned (by oligarchy) root CA that trusted by every web browser and OS on the planet is somehow superiorly safer from the point of state actor attack than those explicitly state owned root CA. You must be livin in fairyland.

1990s: "What a computer is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds."

2026: /s "What a LLM is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds, but for your mind it's a rental unicycle that will break apart under you if you pedal towards your own bicycle factory"

This wanna be cloud feudal lord likes to imagine that AI access is not yet freely tradable good, and his virtual digital peasants must think that his prerogatives should be taken as given, while preventing his future vassals from building their own castles.

the reach is by rough estimates ~2.5–6 million websites globally, 2–5 million of those in Russia and 0.3-1 million in Iran

Whatever USofA, it's not hard to have their own cosmodrome and certificates.

Tangential, in 2026 website certificates feel like nothing, disposable automation artifact, toxic max-security[1], vehicle for those who rent seek, fingerprint.

Still deliberately running macOS Sequoia 15 cuz you know… and if I'll switch to something hopefully better than Tahoe will disable SIP and every thing that is not needed to just launch software, this OS has gotten too obese.

Amazing hardware, 8GB out to keep developers in check with sane memory management, if only Apple themselves cut down on their macOS operating system memory usage, 3GB idle is too much. The obvious out of spec for this laptop is emulated gaming with rosetta and wine, this need minimal 16GB.

Russian developers, really ? Thanks for mentioning, I will download it and try it out, because there is nothing wrong with anything that is originated in Russia or made by Russian people.

Or something useful, save space, compressing some talk or edu video, just 6 fps is usually enough for slides or code, opus audio can go as low as 32k and still be decent compared to source quality, expect 10-15x size reduction

  ffmpeg -hide_banner -y -i in.mp4 \
    -vf "fps=6,format=yuv420p,scale=960:-2:flags=lanczos" \
    -c:v libx265 -tag:v hvc1 -crf 32 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset fast \
    -c:a libopus -b:a 82K -application 2048 \
    -c:s mov_text \
    out.mp4

can go more crazy with this soup
