@gridpane @garrytan Agreed Qwen 3.6 is awesome. And if you want decent throughput, you might as well go with Qwen3.6 35B A3B which performs really well for its size profile.

@garrytan I doubt this is gonna perfect better than Qwen3.6 27B dense. I just don’t see it beating that at 2bit quantization. The million token context window is also kinda bullshit because they all fall off the earth at half their full cap. But it’s where the puck is going!

@MatthewBerman Insurance requires statistically understood risks such that you charge X and understand over a broad distribution you pay Y of which X = Y + c where c is your profit We have no clue what 2027 will hold and the benefits or dangers of AI

This is my Mom, she works at JPMorgan Chase and has recently been SLANDERED in the news by a disgruntled ex-employee. My mother, Lorna, is loving and has always put family first and taught me the importance of respect, hard work, and standing up for what’s right.

He had a GPA score of 97.3%, SAT score is 1560, enrolled in a top high school, and does lots of extracurricular work. He got rejected by multiple colleges. They call this equity and inclusion.

He got rejected by UCLA, Berkeley; accepted into UC Riverside, UCSB, which he doesn't care about. Re application, the 9 UCs use ApplyUC portal where AP scores get entered into preset fields. The top UCs clearly r discriminatory towards white boys and Asians from what I gather. We live in SD and I am pissed for being rejected by his choice, UCSD, while we pay insane $$$ taxes, forgetting about his grades which r stellar. F California.

This Cato ‘immigrants pay more taxes’ flex + Indian chart is peak cherry-picking. Impressive numbers… until you actually look under the hood. 🧐” 1. It’s median household income, not individual or per-capita — and Indian households are structured differently • The chart (and the “twice as much” claim) uses households, not people. Indian-American households are larger on average (~3.0–3.8 people vs. U.S. average ~2.5) and far more likely to have multiple full-time high earners (dual STEM/medical professionals is common). en.wikipedia. • Indian Americans still have high personal earnings (median ~$85k for ages 16+, ~$106k for full-time workers per 2023 Pew), but the “almost twice” headline evaporates when you adjust for household size and number of workers. This is a classic statistical sleight-of-hand when comparing groups with different living arrangements. 2. Extreme positive selection bias … this is the cream of India’s elite, not “immigrants” in general • Indian Americans aren’t a random sample of India’s 1.4 billion people. The vast majority arrived via H-1B, EB-2/3, or student visas …hyper-selective for advanced degrees and high-skill jobs. You’re comparing the top ~0.1–1% of India’s talent/IQ/education distribution to the broad U.S. average (which includes everyone from McDonald’s workers to retirees). • India’s own per-capita income and education levels are far lower. This doesn’t prove broad immigration is economically magical; it proves cherry-picked high-skill immigration works for the selectees. Second-generation outcomes are strong but show some regression toward the mean, and chain migration/family sponsorship often dilutes the skill level over time. 3. Cato’s overall “immigrants pay more taxes” claim has well-documented methodological holes • Cato (a libertarian think tank that favors more immigration) attributes welfare benefits received by U.S.-born children of immigrants to “natives,” not the immigrant parents. This understates immigrant fiscal costs. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and others note this flips the picture: when you count the full household burden (including kids), immigrant-headed households use welfare at higher rates than native-headed ones. • Cato aggregates all immigrants (high-skill Indians + low-skill groups + illegals). The net positive they find is heavily driven by the high earners. Other studies (National Academies of Sciences, Heritage, etc.) have found first-generation immigrants often impose net costs, especially low-skilled/illegal cohorts. • Their data ends before the post-2021 border surge effects fully hit long-term budgets. 4. H-1B-specific issues (the main pipeline for Indian success) • Many Indian immigrants in tech come via H-1B, which has documented problems: outsourcing/body shops (e.g., Infosys, TCS), wage suppression (foreign workers often paid less for similar roles), and ethnic nepotism once Indians reach management (preferring co-ethnics for hiring/promotions). This displaces U.S. workers and depresses wages in STEM. • Fraud allegations are common (fake credentials, benching workers, etc.). Critics argue this isn’t “adding value” so much as arbitraging cheaper labor and networks. 5. Other drains and context • Remittances: Indian Americans send massive sums back to India (India receives over $100B+ in remittances annually, a huge chunk from the U.S.). That’s money leaving the U.S. economy. • Cost of living: Indians are heavily concentrated in high-cost metros (SF Bay, NYC, etc.), where nominal incomes are inflated anyway. Adjust for purchasing power and the gap shrinks. • The post uses Indian success to defend a general “immigrants = net positive” narrative from Cato. But Indians are ~1.4% of the U.S. population and an outlier. Broad policy implications (more low-skill immigration, open borders, etc.) don’t follow from one high-performing subgroup.

Immigrants generate more income and taxes than the average person, per CATO Institute.

Narrative violation: Hiring of new college graduates is up 5.6% over last year. Youth unemployment for degreed 20–24‑year‑olds fell to 5.3% from 8.9%. Weren’t we told that 50% of entry-level jobs were going away?

Now launching GStack Browse Before, /browse actions are by default headless, but now you can just ask for headed mode and you get a real steerable browser. The sidebar is an interactive Claude Code session that lets you navigate, run operations, and is an open source customizable version of what Comet or Atlas Browsers give you It's connected to both the sidebar AND your origin Claude Code instance so it's useful for things like page debugging and CSS interaction Try it now: run /gstack-upgrade and then /open-gstack-browser

@jessegenet @GoogleDeepMind @openclaw Hey Jessie! We just received our 512 gb ram studio for our work. I downloaded all 4 - Gemma 4:31b Qwen 3:235b Qwen 3.5:122b Qwen 3.5:35b And said “run a benchmark based on what we do/have set up at our company” and this is what it found. I would have your agent do the same!

@mattvanswol @catturd2 ICE checking everyone at airports is wonderful. Here are more great ideas. 1. Traffic courts. Check every person who comes into the building. 2. DMV offices. 3. Welfare department offices 4. Bus and subway cars. Board with a team and check every single person onboard.

Few know this, but I (George) was the only person in history to get a perfect score in CMU compilers, which is likely the best compilers course in the world. Combine that with crazy low level knowledge of hardware from 10 years of hacking. Then add a team of people who are talented enough to push back on my dumb ideas and clean up the implementations of the good ones. The team who keeps this whole operation running, software, infrastructure, and product. I love how there's no hype in deep learning compilers. It was one of the most annoying things about self driving cars, all the noobs who burned through billions on crap that was obviously dumb, and the companies who deserved to go bankrupt years ago if not for government bailouts (Tesla and China will devour them all). In this space, the competition is @jimkxa at Tenstorrent, @clattner_llvm at Modular, and @JeffDean at Google. Three of the living legends of computer science. And companies like @nvidia and @AMD, who are definitely live players, making single chips that have more power than the whole Internet two decades ago. This space is so fun to play in. If you haven't, read the tinygrad spec. It's all coming together beautifully.
Tom Benadryl@olafwillocx

Tinygrad (and others) are so far ahead, it's becoming clearer why they are the path forward. What they don't expose yet though, what is very important imo, is the graph structure of the machines themselves. Still need to have this secret mental picture in your head.
