The Macbook battery indicator that's mentioned in the article, was so very good.

I just looked into .c files into it, it is not using any of sqlite files. In my project I am using only sqlite layers, which are battle tested.

My first thought on CAG was that it sounds a bit like bolting on an MCP server onto SymPy (AFAIK, the closest OSS thing to Mathematica). And it turns out someone has already done that.

I wonder how this will compare, long term, to giving LLMs python sandboxes. Why implement an MCP server for a single library when you can give the LLM an interpreter running a distribution with arbitrarily many libraries?

Probably the trick is teaching the LLM how to use everything in that distribution. It’s not clear to me how much metadata that SymPy MCP server bakes in to hint the LLM about when it might want symbolic mathematics, but it’s definitely gonna be more than “sympy is available to import”

Also, reading through TFA, Wolfram is offering more than a programming language. It includes a lot of structured general purpose information. I suspect that increases response quality relative to web search, at least for a narrow set of topics, but I’m not sure how much.

Looks like it's been renamed to ralph-loop for legal reasons. :D

Yeah, that part doesn't make much sense to me. IMO, Swift has reasonably good C++ interop[1] and Swift's C interop has also significantly improved[2] since Swift 6.2.

That's just a perpetual license to use their hosted server. You are free to use your own self hosted server for free.

They should really clean up the phrasing because it sound so sketch, like they're locking device features for money, turns people off easily.

what do you think it should be called? for ~$15 optional one time bucks people get 24/7 access to the entire engineering team, me, prioritized feature dev, and can earn monthly payouts from our Creator Fund. we don’t charge a subscription, obviously i’m partial but this model has serves us well. and most of the developer edition fee goes right back to the community via bounties, perks, etc.

Developer Access or something like that, and put part of your comment in there. I would remove the word Unlock entirely, it implies you’re locking code, as opposed to providing a service.

we call it Developer Edition, i think this is functionality the same. https://trmnl.com/blog/developer-edition

I think you’re mixing that up with the byod key, this is a different thing.

HF is indeed banned in China. The Chinese equivalent of HF is ModelScope[1].

There's also the recently released zvec[1], the tagline for which is: The SQLite of Vector Databases.

Judging by the code in the HF transformers repo[1], smaller dense versions of this model will most likely be released at some point. Hopefully, soon.

Let's not forget the KV-cache which needs a lot of RAM too (although not as much as the model weights), and scales up linearly with sequence length.
