I eat a lot of bread and I make a lot of bread because of that.

Precision measure and mixing and timing helped me a lot in the beginning.

Though I still do that, I find that now I can rely on feel (experience if I'm honest) to know when the dough is just right.

Like with everything, there's probably a middle ground there but I think I just like having fun pretending I'm on a chem lab :)

Amazing work, fantastic!

I tried for a bit, with llama.cpp + Qwen + Mac Pro but the results were very poor (both quality and speed).

I considered investing in better hardware but doing the math, it is cheaper for me to pay for DeepSeek (yeah, I know not everyone can do that).

Holly bananas, that Boost Design Rationale post is, what's the word I'm looking for, intense.

I've come to realize it's all about perspective. Something from the engineering stand point may not be a bug because there's nothing to fix. But the user might be having a bad experience because of that so it must be a bug.

In the end, the user's perspective might be the less-wrong one.

using an embedder instead of a decoder is quite clever. Not sure who came up with that first but it's a cool idea.

I know all is relative but when I think of > 8× AMD MI300X GPUs and 2,100 on 8× NVIDIA H200

I still find it mind boggling. That's a lot of compute power and still considered "low end" for the purpose it serves.
