can only speak for myself here, but the prompt processing speeds on Apple Sillicon is too slow, especially for any meaningful usage


yeah that had me do a double take lol


Discord's embeds for social media links are annoying. TikTok videos show as static images at times. Instagram Reels lose the video entirely and it sends as a thumbnail image. Twitter embeds are hit or miss (or used to be, it has improved).

Embebot automatically detects these links and replies with upgraded versions using services like vxtwitter, vxtiktok, and ddinstagram – which actually embed the video inline with a proper player.

Built on Cloudflare Workers using Durable Objects w/ a SvelteKit dashboard. Server admins can toggle platforms on/off and customize which embed service to use.

This is actually a rewrite to a Cloudflare workers friendly version of my bot since it was written in Go, packaged via Docker and hosted on my homelab, but I've been too busy tending to my homelab and want to host it on more reliable infra.


These demos whether good or bad go in meta's favor I think

Successful demo? sweet! people will rave about it for a bit

Catastrophic failure? sweet! people will still talk about it and for even longer now!


Ali G would have loved this for his ice cream glove idea


Awesome list, any chance of adding OpenRouter? Looking at their website seems like it would be a pain to scrape all of that due to the site's layout.


https://openrouter.ai/docs/api-reference/list-available-mode... OpenRouter has an endpoint to get models and their pricing


Yeah I am going to be adding more sources like that and Groq but just wanted to start with the basics and see if it resonated


30B-A3B works extremely well as a generalist chat model when you pair with scaffolding such as web search. It's fast (for me) using my workstation at home running a 5070 + 128GB of DDR4 3200 RAM @ ~28 tok/s. Love MoE models.

Sadly it falls short during real world coding usage, but fingers crossed that a similarly sized coder variant of Qwen 3 can fill in that gap for me.

This is my script for the Q4_K_XL version from unsloth at 45k context:

llama-server.exe --host 0.0.0.0 --no-webui --alias "Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q4_K_XL" --model "F:\models\unsloth\Qwen3-30B-A3B-128K-GGUF\Qwen3-30B-A3B-128K-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf" --ctx-size 45000 --n-gpu-layers 99 --slots --metrics --batch-size 2048 --ubatch-size 2048 --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --min-p 0 --presence-penalty 1.5 --repeat-penalty 1.1 --jinja --reasoning-format deepseek --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0 --flash-attn --no-mmap --threads 8 --cache-reuse 256 --override-tensor "blk\.([0-9][02468])\.ffn_._exps\.=CPU"


No thanks HP, I'll stick with SMART instead.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a year post grad from CS, still looking for work. I have been biding my time by doing a variety of projects to keep busy and learn new things. Prior to this, I have done systems administration, where I managed on prem Windows servers, Hyper-V, and networking hardware for some school districts where I have studied. In my spare time, I run my own Linux homelab using Docker, Ansible, and Grafana. I use it to self-host my projects (among other things), which include a full-stack Reddit marketplace monitor with its own CI/CD pipeline. I'm a generalist who enjoys working from the infrastructure up to the application.

Honestly? I'm not picky (never was). I don't mind a chance working anywhere.


Excellent! I just need to find offers...
