  • Running an AI on a GPU requires enough VRAM to fit the model, otherwise it will fall back to the CPU which is very slow. Mac Minis share RAM between the CPU and GPU, and you can get a Mac mini with a lot of shared RAM for a lot cheaper than a GPU with a lot of VRAM.

  • Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

    Jump

  • My locally hosted Qwen3 30b said “Walk” including this awesome line:

    Why you might hesitate (and why it’s wrong):

    • X “But it’s a car wash!” -> No, the car doesn’t need to drive there—you do.

    Note that I just asked the Ollama app, I didn’t alter or remove the default system prompt nor did I force it to answer in a specific format like in the article.

    EDIT: after playing with it a bit more, qwen3:30b sometimes gives the correct answer for the correct reasoning, but it’s pretty rare and nothing I’ve tried has made it more consistent.

  • Couple left with $200k bill after baby born in US

  • The problem in this story wasn’t actually the US this time, it was the Swiss insurance company.

  • Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and users are urged to switch to Linux

  • It’s also not as stable as they market it to be

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • Idk what the original post was because it’s deleted by now, but having internet connection doesn’t make you “rich” in 2026. A lot of homeless people have smart phones. A cheap smartphone is a minuscule one-time expense compared to the ongoing costs of food and housing. There are often plenty of sources of free WiFi so you don’t even need to pay a phone bill.

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • I’d be curious to hear the other side of the story. The phone on silence is what “police allege”, and mobile coverage maps are often exaggerated for marketing, not to mention being in a big storm could affect service.

    It’s possible his phone was not working, and he kept going until he got service.

  • "Overproduction" (Art by David Revoy)

    Jump

  • A lot of corporations sell their used or otherwise no longer needed tech products. It’s not unreasonable to expect a lot of RAM to sell that way.

    However, there is a concern a lot of it will be in the form of RAM soldered to the boards of AI accelerator cards which are basically GPUs without the actual graphics specific features. That won’t be very useful to the average consumer.

  • How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?

    Jump

  • If there are government mandated age verification checks on social media, then even if they're trivial to bypass, at least it allows parents to stand together with other parents.

    Many, if not most, social media sites already have this in the form of a “I assert I’m over 13” button during account creation

  • That’s would fall under “career growth”

  • He made beer that’s also a vaccine. Now controversy is brewing

    Jump

  • Running a study that’s unethical and scientifically rigorous and pushing the results, is a mark of a bad scientist.

    This is rather similar to how the “vaccines cause autism” myth started.

  • iOS 26.4 Developer Beta 1 lets you build Apple Music playlists with on-device AI

    Jump

  • Siri’s recognition for non-top-ten band names in English is abysmal

  • He made beer that’s also a vaccine. Now controversy is brewing

    Jump

  • The result is cool, assuming it’s real, but he did not go about this in a scientific way, so the “published” results are basically junk, and it doesn’t reflect well on him as a scientist, and it sounds like it might lose him his job, for good reason IMO.

  • Chad Ronald McNair

    Jump

  • You missed the part where they eventually renamed the library after him.

  • Are there any examples of 'perfect' software?

    Jump

  • It’s worth noting that most commercial multimedia software is also more or less a wrapper around ffmpeg

  • I’ve been in three different apartments in my current city and I’ve needed black out curtains to sleep in all of them.

  • Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees

    Jump

  • Minecraft copyright doesn’t cover the entire genre of block-based sandbox pixel art games. Minecraft isn’t even the first in that genre, even if it’s the most popular by a wide margin.

    Unless Microsoft can prove that one of the textures started by copying a Minecraft texture, or that substantial bits of code are copied from Minecraft, there is no claim.

  • Are gender-exclusive groups ever ok?

    Jump

  • My anecdotal 2 cents:

    I was in boyscouts and I think it was a space to develop positive masculinity, and to learn things by looking up to older boys who had been through the same experience. I think girls being present would have changed the dynamic, because teenage boys act differently and talk about different things when around teenage girls.

    Now that being said I’m certain not everyone in boyscouts developed positive masculinity. Boyscouts is far, far less uniform than people seem to think. There were 2 troops in my home town that were wildly different.

    But at least from my anecdotal experience, Boyscouts was a good thing that benefitted from being a boys-only experience, and I wonder how it has changed now that girls can join boyscout troops.
