Really well done claude-code integration for the Emacs editor

Readit NewsMy understanding is that if you can store 1/Nth of the weights in RAM on each of the N nodes then there's no need to send the weights over the network.
You're correct about the weights: each machine could in fact store all of the weights. However I think you still have to transfer the activations and the KV-Cache while performing inference.

One of the classics and must-reads in music technology.
I read it over and over again when I was building: https://glicol.org/
One of the motivations for building Glicol is to quickly let more people understand sound synthesis and music programming in the browser.

Glicol looking super cool! Reminds me of ChucK

It is always faster in all cases from my experience. It should not, but it is. Try.
This is silly. If I’m only rebuilding 1 file out of a 200 file source base, I guarantee the non-unity build will be faster. Just the number of characters I have to tokenize in this thought experiment should be enough to convince. If this isn’t the case then you’re doing some sort of n^2 c++ boost every header includes most other headers shenanigans and you need to stop that rather than doing a unity build.

Why couldn't the AI be done on-device rather than server side? Isn't that where things are going with mobile hardware?
Mobile devices don’t have the memory or the memory bandwidth to run an LLM that’s big enough to be good at much. Plus the fixed battery and thermal constraints.

> they kept the enter key on the door though
That's a nice touch/nod!
Thanks for the correction, yeah SportsBasement. I went mostly to the one off Portage.
I distinctly recall that location is where we bought the legend of Zelda back in the 80’s when it first came out. Gonna miss fry’s.
unsatchmo commented on Ask HN: What does mastery look like in software engineering? · Posted by u/abdabab
I don't think there is mastery in this work. I've been doing this for decades, and I still think my code from 6 months ago is crap, no matter how much I learn and improve.
Mastery would imply that you can do it all, and do it right, on any project, and there is just too much change and evolution for that to ever be true.
My goal is simply that I continue to improve.
Length of time doing something doesn't imply mastery. It can contribute to mastery, but only if you're always pushing your skill to the next level I think.
For example: I know people who have been skateboarding for decades and are just barely OK at it. How you practice matters.
