Presumably in much the same way it knows it needs to use to calls for reaching its objective.

I'd argue not, as with tool calls it has available to it at all times a description of what each tool can be used for. There's plenty of intermediate but still important information that could be compacted away, and unless there was a logical reason to go looking for it the model doesn't know what it doesn't know.

How's it compare in quality with larger models in the same series? E.g 122b?

The chart on this link compares all qwen3.5 models down to 0.8B.

Are there existing alternatives to this? I use KDE, but I have also heard Steam OS has something similar.

steamos is just kde.

SteamOS uses KDE for their "desktop" session, but does their own thing for the normal gaming mode.

"Vibe killing"

Wow. This word pair will surely become part of common language soon.

I’d say we are making this simulation quite interesting, aren’t we.

Reading that phrase made me physically shudder.

Funnily enough about 10 years ago, I had noisy neighbours playing music late at night and after some fruitless attempts at politely asking them to turn the sound down, I found their wifi and ran a 'deauth attack'. Effectively flooding their wifi with packets disconnecting devices. Followed by a, "fuck!"

Safe to say we got peaceful nights sleep.

Is this a felony?

Since there are people from all countries here, the answer to your question depends a lot on who you ask. I don't think even the specific word you used is relevant in all parts of the world.

Is it a felony where you live?

That term doesn't exist in the legal language where I live. And I don't know your term well enough to know what it maps to in our law.

In the United States, there's felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are a big deal, and misdemeanors are a small deal.

Felonies carry sentences over a year, and time is served in state or federal prison, not in a local jailhouse.

No, it was self defense.

I look forward to the cheap compute flooding the market when the music stops.

People still waiting for GPUs to be cheap after the blockchain bubble.

We created the LLM bubble to prop up those investments.

Touche. I was just about to comment on snapping up the cheap gpus

It had a date, but I also agree this is extremely confusing. Even semver 2.5.1 would be clearer IMO.

As opposed to blockchain where reversal depends on the grace of the merchant.

I've often wondered whether payments providers entering the blockchain space (like Visa/Mastercard) would act as trusted intermediaries for dispute resolution. Kind of a 2-of-3 multisig to disperse the funds in escrow.

One of the most common examples of smart contacts is a reversible transaction with dispute resolution by a third-party.

Infact you could implement exactly what you suggest in a similar way.

I'm sorry but I'm big into crypto and have never seen a contract like that deployed in the wild.

And I actually use crypto for payments more than most people. I used some just last week to buy a replica rolex from a chinese dealer because they gave a better price than credit cards.

You've never staked a token? Every single major chain and most exchanges have staking contracts deployed which are essentially the same thing (you can't access your tokens until an oracle says so, or you cancel out).

That would be nice... Good luck to you if you can use it.

I would consider myself tech savvy but I struggled immensely to run lightning without custodial risk back.

If you've tried gpt-oss:120b and Moonshot AIs Kimi Dev, it feels like this is getting closer to reality. Mac Studios, while expensive are now offering 512gb of usable RAM as well. The tooling available to running local models is also becoming more accessible than even just a year ago.
