I find comma.ai’s work pretty fascinating compared to the bigger fish in the self-driving world. There’s something quite human about it versus the Waymo’s and Tesla’s of the world.


If you liked that, you should look into tinygrad


I’m impressed by tinygrad. Full-featured deep-learning framework with ZERO dependencies, fully hackable, and orders of magnitude fewer LoC than PyTorch.

Want to run Qwen3.8 27B? Download the quantized model from HF, git clone tinygrad, then run `DEV=METAL python3 -m tinygrad.llm --max_context 8192 -m <GGUF File>`. Read the code and experiment - takes 1 minute.

Compare that with PyTorch (great, but almost impossible to comprehend and modify, IMO) or Mojo/MAX (complex and not even fully open source, not to mention that the Modular folks aren’t particularly nice). Tinygrad is a breath of fresh air.


"Zero dependencies" except Python, which is a pretty huge dependency.


If you're like me and also wondered "huh, what's tinygrad up to?" apparently they now let you place $100,000 USD pre-orders on a $10M shipping container full of GPUs which they say will ship (literally it seems) in 2027.


They're claiming a lot, but don't have much to show for it


Did they have an actual metal container sitting outside their office building in San Diego? I would love to see it on the inside kinda like a walk-in tour you get from real estate listings


he bought an empty container and he's looking for someone to build it out.

i ran 7MW and 20,000 gpus in containers in WA for mining eth for many years. it is a bad idea that he's trying to do. but george is george and the hype is real...


Do you have a write-up of this? I enjoy seeing these Playstation/ASIC/GPU mining installations which are usually some combination of incredibly clever engineering and duct tape.


i ran 20k of those bc-250's too... but those were in a real dc. nice to see them getting use again.

sorry, no writeup other than what i've posted already.


actually they arent claiming much. and they already are doing better than 99% of other companies by having a buy button on their product page.


Are they planning to do something like runware with their containers? ( Sonic inference pod)


Bean is also slang for clitoris, at least in the UK. Ploopy has a good sense of humour, the Knob page being the prime example.


Yeah, I knew exactly what this was gonna be before I read the second half of the title.

Now I'm wondering if putting a bean on the knob would be taking it too far.


I hope one day that Matrix becomes this, but it doesn't seem likely. Fingers crossed Proton at least does it one day.


Using a cross-platform password manager, like Bitwarden or 1Password, would work in your case.


how do i log into passkey protected Paypal on my nintendo switch? how do i log into my Sony PlayStation account on my PS5?



Absolutely, everyone I recommend BW to appreciates the notes feature as well - it's handy to have a place to jot down important things that aren't log-ins!
