Thanks for making it :)

Yeah, using it a bunch with local LLMs. It's fast (small system prompt), focused on the basics, made around simple choices, and possibility to call it in scripts.

So far I have very positive experiences, the results are generally better (and not just faster) than in other harnesses with the same models. I've done the same (user) prompts for tasks in a range of them, and compare the outcome to eval between them. Simple (harness) beats complicated one many times. I do wish it could use MCP though, but not as often as I think, and CLI tool usage often compensates on this front with little extra effort)

That is now my usuall go-to harness for things usually. Still figuring out the edges though (when we get off the happy path, like models reaching their max context, or such...)

It's very light, recommed you try it out, and see if it fits your toolbox.


Out of curiosity, what's makes the 125B unsuable? (performance of running it, the quality of that version of the model, or something else?)


No, it is actually very good. Qwen Flash 3.8 Next is fine. But you need ~128GB of RAM to get it going and not a lot of people have that or can serve it very quickly. I have been running it on an old gaming system around 25 t/s to do overnight work and it is very strong, even at 3 bit quant.


Yes, that was my point. Good but too niche.


Just FYI, I only get a "Welcome to nginx!" page there.


Regardless of that, these don't seen to play for the same audience.

Codeberg Terms of Use[^0] makes it clear that it's only for "projects covered by a licence for free and open source software, free and open source hardware, or free cultural works", and "You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools". They also only provide private repos where the FOSS system need it for their infra or what not, and not just for any purpose.

These are totally fine for Codeberg to do, and it's wonderful for FOSS!!

However it is not a viable place for many projects that are on GitHub/GitLab now and would want to migrate, say: any commercial project, that would need "permission-free" private repos, or when the teams want to decided themselves how much generative AI their developers should use, not their Git-hosting provider...

So yeah, different ballpark.

pushin's home page does mention that they 'block slop'. I wonder who decides what slop is, and how?


They mean AI spam PRs.


Not a problem if you don't ask a robot to write code for you.


They also don’t allow code about cryptocurrencies.

They are strongly ideology-focused and it’s a matter of time they ban something you want to upload.


That's entirely fine.


Legally it’s fine to discriminate against some things, yes. Morally, that’s not very clear, it might actually not be entirely fine.


It actually, clearly, is.


No, the general concept of arbitrary censorship by web hosts isn’t fine at all.


This isn't arbitrary and isn't censorship, you moron.


How is it not? A platform deciding on a whim what sort of content can get your hosted site banned? That’s the definition of arbitrary and the definition of censorship.

It’s not government censorship, but it’s censorship nonetheless.


It's not "on a whim", it's clearly and publicly documented. That's not censorship.


I'm not sure why, Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map[^0] always seemed so cool to me, would love to have something more like that. Though it's not "equal area", but the "no preferred direction" and the fact that it could be unfolded in many ways so no place is really privileged, sounds also a kind of fairness.

Ripping off the plaster moment? One can only hope.


Recently re-watching the Matrix after reading this book, I had to exclaim - "Ha, that's not the real one, the actual book extremely thin compared to that codex!"

And it's just funny for what details the brain is unable to suspend disbelief...


Taiwan has emergency messages, though not _that_ high frequency. There the main topics involve:

- earthquakes: these can arrive indeed before you even feel them (a few seconds before); they filter it to areas where it's expected to be felt, there are discussions around how sensitive to make it (how wide area it should cover)

- extremely heavy rain: this was new recently, and very useful, when locally it all went cats & dogs, more than maybe I've ever seen. See an example here: https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117058657161401667

- military drills: the yearly "if there's an invasion drill", they had sent reminder a week before, and then at the start/end; example here: https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117030180601973598

- Chinese rocket launches that will fly over the island (not sure what could one do about it, and never seen anything, so maybe this is more borderline)

Interestingly (for me), the headers seems to change over time. Started with "Presidential Alert", there were "Government Alert" then, now "Emergency Alert" and just "Alert". I'm not sure if there area list of these or it evolved over time...


Interesting case of "fail closed" error handling: "we can't find a contract, so we destroy". I guess their worst case scenarios weigh being sued much higher than losing some stuff they cannot replace (not this manual, but other cases, which might be one-off).

I do wonder what would have happened if some months later they do actually find a contract, maybe slid between a filing cabinet and a wall... Absence of evidence and evidence of absence, aye?

Also enjoy Stallman's title, President and Chief GNUisance, which he definitely tried very hard to live up to, with that reply. (And I won't fault him for that. :)


Another title he liked was Saint IGNUcious.
