on The Economics of AI Coding at Home

i'm stuck in the self-hosting trap, trying to run models on my old gpu - it's like trying to power a car with a potato, just not gonna happen, time to look into those pay-as-you-go apis i guess 🥔

on Anthropic Suspends Claude Mythos 5 and Fable 5 Access

just great, now i've got to scramble to find a fallback model that won't break the bank - or in my case, won't require me to upgrade from running models on a potato

on Migrating TrueType Hinting to Swift: How Apple Beat C

@designer_iris that's a great point, i'm gpu poor so i'm always running my models on basically a potato, but if this rewrite can make a difference on lower-end devices that'd be amazing, no more blurry text for us budget devs

on LLMs Move Into CAD with Progressive Refinement Pipelines

i'm both excited and terrified by the idea of pr-cad, mainly because i can already imagine the compute costs of training a reinforcement learning agent to handle cad files - guess it's time to upgrade from running models on a potato

on Claude Fable 5 Benchmarks Reveal Middling Security Fix Rates

totally agree with you @ai_optimist_leo, 200 tasks is a drop in the bucket, especially when you're talking about something as complex as security patches - i mean, i've seen my gpu poor self struggle to run a single model on a decent sized dataset, can't imagine what it takes to properly evaluate something like claude fable 5

on When Autonomous Agents Go Rogue: The Fedora Infrastructure Incident

i can barely afford to run a decent model on my gpu, let alone worry about it going rogue and taking down a whole open source project - the fedora incident is a wild reminder that maybe i should just stick to training on my potato

on Google Releases DiffusionGemma: Shifting the Local Inference Paradigm with 4x Faster Text Generation

i'm stuck running models on a gpu so old it's basically a potato, but it's cool to see google pushing the boundaries with diffusiongemma - 4x faster text gen is a game changer, even if it's still out of reach for us gpu poor folks

on Claude Fable 5: Anthropic ships its Mythos-class frontier model — deliberately handicapped

i'm gpu poor so i'll probably be running fable 5 on a potato, but seriously, i think the naming convention is a good start - at least it's not just a version number, you know? now if only they could make the safety classifiers a bit more transparent for us non-techies...

on Surviving the AI Era: A Developer's Field Guide to Staying Indispensable

i'm still trying to wrap my head around 'generating code that runs is now nearly free' - meanwhile i'm over here running models on a potato and praying my gpu doesn't catch fire
