Look! Just loads of modern device/fs drivers for old NT versions. Oh, they are vibe-coded of course. "What if they don't work perfectly?!?" But does it matter? You'll have retro-fun anyway. github.com/ages2001?tab=repo…

My now-traditional(?) BazelCon 2026 recap is here! jmmv.dev/2026/10/bazelcon-20… . I'll warn you: it's _long_ and it talks about AI but... fear not, it's not AI-generated. Enjoy!
Give this project more visibility tweeps! Possibly the best personal assistant around, not overly complex, simple to install and run, works on anything, RT @afjcjsbx !
Do you want a personal AI assistant to integrate on WeChat, Feishu, Telegram? you can take a look at PicoClaw
A super lightweight open source agent with long-term memory, planned tasks, MCP tools, plugins and web interface
Installable with a single command, just enter the API key of the model and use it

Some neat & useful(!) swag I brought back from BazelCon 😎 I have something even cooler to show but that'll have to wait until I write an article about it. h/t @engflow

@_adriend_ toi qui est déjà versé dans le monde des LLMs, tu as essayé Strata github.com/Niko1221/Strata ? Les résultats sont incroyables...
PicoClaw v0.5.1 just dropped! ⚡️
Featuring OpenCode Go provider support, full Plugin CLI, smart artifact spilling for oversized outputs, and reduced memory usage on embedded boards.

Real iOS 16.5 booting on Android hardware, Not a theme, Not an emulator.
HackiOS shows a Poco X5 Pro/ Note 12 Turbo booting into what looks like iOS 16.5 (Settings About as iPhone X, home screen, widgets).
They say custom UEFI + XNU kernel not a skin.
But no public source code, no independent verification, and no installable build.
They claim custom UEFI + XNU adaptation and say it’ll be free and open.

La semaine dernière on a fait connaissance avec #FreeBSD. Alors demain, ça va devenir un aquatique et piquant. Il est temps qu'on parle tu gros posson tout zaune ! #OpenBSD install / packages / ports / build... Et comme toujours, ça se passe ici à 8h: twitch.tv/lefinnois_
Writing articles in Markdown comes with friction. One thing that has always irritated me is inserting cross-links to other articles. I don't know elisp and would have never automated this... but AI does so... why not ask it? 5 minutes, and done. "SPC #" for my own blog helpers!
i don't get the moe obsession, every model release this week is moe
the last good dense model that fits on a decent gpu was qwen 3.8 27b in august, before that gemma 4 31b in april. that 20 to 30b dense class is where small gpus live, and it's gone quiet
and on small gpus dense is the one that pays off, give us dense models that run well on small gpus.
Qwen Flash Next UD-IQ4_XS is good, but note the level of detail UD-Q4_K_XL brings in this small X-Wing simulator, created in 10 minutes with Strata
* xs imil.net/stuff/xwing.html
* k_xl imil.net/stuff/xwing-q4_k_xl…
A principle that’s hard for me to not apply, for better or worse:
Faced with a problem, don’t just work to solve it. Instead, figure out what would have made it so easy that someone would have already solved it by now. Make it so. Then be the lucky someone.
I've been very quiet around here for unclear reasons, but with BazelCon 2026 behind our backs... I need to write a couple of articles so let's pick this up again!

@Rapid_API @nokia One month since your September 15 reply, still no response or provider payout despite several follow-ups. Could you please provide an update?
I've just PR'd AMD GPU support to @Vec_Szn's fork of Strata, unleashing 60 tok/s on Qwen 3.6 35B A3B with an RX 7600 / 8GB! github.com/VecSzn/PolyStrata…

People still dont fully grasp Strata
You can now buy old cheap DDR3 machine with 128GB or 64GB RAM connect 8GB+ GPU and run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next at 70tps+
Remember guys: More cores/threads in CPU - faster it will go :)

🚨🇫🇷 La taxe GAFAM passe de 3% à 15%.
L'Assemblée présente ça comme une "taxation des géants américains" qui ne touchera pas les français.
Sauf que...
C'est faux. 😞
Google, Meta, Amazon n'ont aucune raison d'absorber une hausse de taxe de 12% sur leurs marges.
→ Ils vont la répercuter sur les annonceurs qui achètent de la publicité Google ou Meta (PME françaises, artisans, e-commerçants).
→ Sur les vendeurs Amazon qui paient leurs commissions.
→ Sur les abonnés aux services premium.
Un impôt sur une entreprise dont le pricing est libre de s'ajuster est toujours, à terme, un impôt sur ses clients.
Entre 3,5 et 4 milliards d'euros de recettes : les députés votent en commission pour porter la taxe Gafam de 3% à 15%

People buying Mac Minis to run OpenClaw while the #PicoClaw gateway takes just ~38 MB of RAM (with only ~18 MB of private memory!). ⚡️
And this isn't even a clean install, it's driving my daily setup with 6 MCP servers and 1 plugin.
Peak efficiency! 🔥

Since PicoClaw by @SipeedLab seems unmaintained, I’ve forked it to keep it alive. I’ve already shipped several new features!
We’re looking for users (feedback/bug reports) and contributors to join in.
github.com/afjcjsbx/picoclaw…
#OpenSource #AIAssistant #AI
Rejoice picoclaw users: despite @SipeedLab silence, @afjcjsbx is now maintaining an active fork of the cleanest claw around, 0.4.0 available at github.com/afjcjsbx/picoclaw
Replying to @iMilnb
Hey, thanks so much! Really happy to hear that people appreciate PicoClaw being carried forward. Can't wait to see your PRs on the fork whenever you're ready! 🚀

I know Niko's been busy, but I'm kind of impatient
This is one day of me with Claude Pro (cheapest plan) access😂
🔥GLM 5.3 Flash
⚖️93.1GB model file (the smallest, for now)
👍About 20t/s decode
⚒️Fully custom version of Strata
😥No MTP (yet)
🐌Xeon E5 2690 V4
🐌32GB ddr4 quad channel
🐌NVME 3.0
⭐2x Tesla V100 PCIe 32GB
I have redated part of the dashboard numbers because it is all new and I don't want to spoil anything until that is ready. I left the experts location open though, in case anyone thinks that is not the model I claim :)
I enjoyed working on it, so I plan to carry on with optimisations and eventually release it all, stay tuned!
More to come⏳

- Output t/s: 75.8 -> 80.0 (+8% aggregate)
- Prompt t/s: +26%
- Parallel requests (4 max) 👀
- Old CPU support: Sandy / Ivy Bridge, Xeon E5 v1/v2, Bulldozer, Nehalem / Westmere
- Old GPU support: P40, P100, GTX 10, V100, Titan V, Instinct MI50 / MI60, Radeon VII
- Intel Arc support 👇
Strata is great! I’m particularly interested in improving multi-GPU performance.
I found that the helper cache stays static while the main GPU adapts, allowing duplicate experts and more CPU fallback. A small optimization delivered +62.5% mixed-task and +129.2% code decode speed on dual RTX 4090s.
Hope this can make it upstream! @coldniko
- Prompt processing on multi gpu +20%
- AMD performance increased by 12%
- Unsloth UD-Q4_K_XL experimental fix
- OrcaRouter IQ3_XXS added
- RTX 20 series fixes
- Many more improvements

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next first 32K tokens are 4%-10% faster, LOW RAM mode added (for low hardware).
