Its exciting to see, but look at the die size for only an 8b model

Run server with ollama, use Continue extension configured for ollama

[BoredomIsFun → replete]

I'd stay away from ollana, just use llama.cpp; it is more up date, better performing and more flexible.

[mika6996 → BoredomIsFun]

But you can't just switch between installed models like in ollama, can you?

It's a practical approach, I used vagrant many years ago mostly successfully. I also explored the docker-in-docker situation recently while working on my own agentic devcontainer[0]- the tradeoffs are quite serious if you are building a secure sandbox! Data exfil is what worries me most, so I spent quite some time figuring out a decent self-contained interactive firewall. From a DX perspective, devcontainer-integrated IDEs are quite a convenient workflow, though docker has its frustrating behaviours

An easy switch for an individual, for an organization the ecosystem is typically too much to give up. Hopefully this changes in a few years.

[jonkoops → replete]

Organizations are composed of individuals, if your organization is tied to a specific IDE to be able to function, that seems like a huge problem.

Ecosystem.

[spiderice → replete]

If your organization's "ecosystem" is tied to a specific editor, your organization has major issues.

[the__alchemist → replete]

Do some companies/orgs mandate which editor to use? Is this usually big companies? Which countries?

They are focusing on an Azure migration for then next 2 years...

On: Programmers and software developers lost the plot on naming their tools

[replete]

Codenames are good identifiers when lots of projects exist. There are more software projects now than EVER.

I welcome Splorg, Chizzel, Rapunzel, Brap, Titoid, and Chungus - I don't care as long as it's good.

A whitelist in package.json is only a partial assist

Because they use emdashes?

Because it's obvious.

Is this a joke?

Kids made this in the G-Mod sandbox for Half-Life 2.

If it feels dystopian, it's because HL2 is set in a dystopian world.

Honestly, it might literally be the toilet aspect that made this viral with 7 year olds

I don't think you're wrong, but also don't think that the article's wildly wrong either.

Resolution isn't the point, the semantic confusion is what generates clicks.

On: Apple M5 chip

[replete]

I think the M5 Max will be more like 614GB/s, unless they somehow have exceeded DDR5x-9600 or added more than 32 memory controllers

[andy_ppp → replete]

DDR5-9600 is 153GB/s from a single channel, Max has 4 channels… these are all theoretical values of course - real world none of these, even the graphics card will get that near to those… so not sure what you’re saying.
