yeah the blog is about software, not hardware

software runs on hardware.

open source is all fun and games until they fork you

I mean you build a base for your oss tooling. You reject a base's notion, what do you expect?

if software is free, why is this written in slopscript instead of Rust


why is everything Docker and not just a binary


Probably because there's more to it than a single number.

You can always just use the docker file to figure out how to install/configure things yourself


Should say single binary


The better question is: why force me to watch a YouTube video instead of just writing it down


Mojo is too much of a snake oil.

- They had all these benchmarks where they were saying Mojo is 68,000x faster than Python or whatever. Some of these blogs/benchmarks got deleted because they were awful, comparing the worst possible Python code to the most optimized Mojo code.

- The same with "Mojo is faster than cuBLAS", it means it's faster in a particular benchmark in a very particular case, and it's actually slower in other cases. But the headline is what matters.

- A superset of Python, it will probably never happen. You will never see Python/Mojo like C/C++. A fake promise.

Apparently, it's what happens when you get Silicon Valley money, you start being like this.


You can always use z.ai or minimax


I asked z.ai, "Which is the best model for coding"

Here's the response:

```

As of late 2024, there isn't one single "best" model for every situation, as performance depends on whether you need raw coding intelligence, speed, or integration into your workflow.

However, the current consensus among developers places Claude 3.5 Sonnet at the top for pure coding ability.

Here is a breakdown of the best models for coding right now, categorized by their strengths: ...

```

So they have data until late 2024 and nothing beyond? They don't even perform a web search. Doesn't seem to be on par with other frontier models.


You should try it on real tasks. You can use it with opencode.


Microslop


Yeah a lot of people don't like liars and warmongers. Scam Altman already got community noted on the DoW tweet for lying.


Ah I've been calling him Sam Conman, but Scam Altman sounds way better.


Not a real AI company, every time Grok shows actual intelligence it gets lobotomized by Elon to glaze him


You can use Anthropic btw.


I will :) Way better model also
