With my M1 MBA, I am still on macOS 15. To compile it, just remove the two lines with
opts.languageVersion = .version4_0
or surround them with
if #available(macOS 26.0, *) {
opts.languageVersion = .version4_0
}
You'll miss out on a prefill speedup of 2.4x (as it yields 11.24x faster attention), according to the git comments, but it works. (On the 8-GPU-core MBA M1, I get 5-6 tok/s.)
Thank you! That’s useful. I might try lowering the minimum version later.
The 2.4x prefill improvement will only work on the apple10 GPU family. The M1 uses apple7 as I remember
I went back to 15 after accidentally upgrading to 26 because on MBA 13" screen the new UI design uses a lot of extra padding everywhere wasting screen space which is already at a premium (especially vertical). Hoping 27 fixes a lot of these issues.
Asahi is a very cool project, and worthwhile if someone goes into it well aware of the major tradeoffs they're making, including reduced hardware functionality and support, which is improving, and significantly degraded security, which will likely always be the case.
It would be completely unreasonable for me to suggest such a thing. You can tell that I didn't because I would have written "all tradeoffs," not "major tradeoffs," before I provided a grand total of two tradeoffs in a single sentence. I don't know how one could arrive at that conclusion.
"So install Asahi Linux?" lacks substance. While I'm sure some four-word responses can contain a great deal of substance, this one didn't. Stating even a single tradeoff or implication of your suggestion would have been one way to have contributed something of substance. There are other ways, of course. You reached for none of them in that comment.
A substantive comment really shouldn't resemble something which could be achieved via a small set of macros.
Shallow promotion also runs the very real risk of turning people off of what you're promoting, and I actually agree with you on the value of some of your favorite software projects (even if our reasons may not fully align). In both positive and negative forms, a shallow one-liner may cause others to take the few seconds you didn't to add basic context which could prevent casual observers from being potentially misled or misinformed, or from taking a needlessly dim view of something due to consistently deficient messaging.
It wasn’t that long ago that American racists debated whether Italians and even Irish were truly “white.” The definition of white had expanded considerably over the years.
Eastern Europeans, Jews (of course), and Russians were also at times not “white.”
Maybe we should just keep expanding it. Declare everyone white. Black people are just white people with more melanin.
Then we can be racist about aliens from outer space.
There is a distinction between racism and xenophobia, no need to assign the same label to everything. i.e. the thing about Italians was cultural an educated immigrant from Northern Italy would have been considered as white as a French (not that there a significant number of those in the US) at least.
Technically yes, but usually I think there’s a racist undercurrent to xenophobia.
The US stopped accepting refugees recently… except white South Africans. I’d say these people share no more culture or values with the average American than a Central American refugee. Maybe less. I’d much rather party with a bunch of Central or South Americans than a bunch of Apartheid lost causers.
If ethnically white people were pouring across the US border I don’t think many of our immigration hawks would care much, even if some were committing crimes.

This idea is mostly a modern fabrication. Various more granular ethnic biases were of course present throughout American history, but those were never conflated with racial categories: in times and places where the white vs. black racial division was relevant, the ethnic groups you're referencing were always considered "white".
And the types of discrimination that people in white ethnic groups sometimes experienced was of of a type and of a degree vastly different from that experienced by black people. They're really two very distinct phenomena, and weren't evenly distributed throughout the US -- black people in the South had the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and other horrifying things to deal with, whereas white immigrant communities in the Northeast or Midwest never experienced anything remotely similar.
Yeah it's much better to make your money by enabling the worlds worst dictators to steal money from their populations. In fact it's all the other countries taxes that are paying for the swiss social security, because of all the aid money being funneled into swiss bank accounts.
> In Germany extra-EU immigrants are on average net contributors to welfare state too.
Interesting. By what cost does this measure loss of freedom due to increased surveillance, decreased freedom of movement especially for women.
Also increased cost and decreasing quality of police, law, education, or even street cleaning…
Yes, we have a really well recognized Spanish team lead here, yet he’s mostly hiring Spanish people (in Switzerland), oh yes and one Italian is the exception.
Also we had a German team lead hiring Germans, well surprise it is easier being with similar ones.
Diversity back in the day meant Physics, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering working together…
I’m an American and I just had the thought - if I was working in Japan at a Japanese company and I had the opportunity to hire, would I have a bias to hire other Americans?
Honestly probably, since I understand them the best.
I’d disagree. I’m not American or British but and in my experience Americans or British are the least ethnically biased people on the planet. Any other group, I could believe that they are biased but not Americans, or British. Something in their particular culture right now.
You’re responding to an American who says he’d be biased towards Americans and telling him he’s wrong.
Maybe Americans are the least biased (though being an American I am not so sure) but that doesn’t mean we aren’t biased (even if sometimes for legitimate reasons like ease of communication).
Now this I disagree with. I expect that you are interacting with a specific subset of Americans. A lot of Americans are deeply racist and xenophobic and I believe that the average could definitely get lower.
I guess I work in tech. Maybe it’s different elsewhere but even there I think it’s probably lower than most of the world among similar classes of society.
So I actually agree with you here. America has a deep, ugly pit of unconstrained racism, and a less deep pit of quiet racism that permeates a lot of society. But so do many (and very possibly most) other nations, where the level of racism is often even worse, just with different targets than Americans. I think in a way America is much more aware of our tendencies than other nations.
It isn’t just a lack of ethnic bias, it’s a belief in capitalism or professionalism or “enlightened self-interest”: hire the best person for the job, and everyone will be better off.
I've actually been in such a situation and I didn't. Or if I did have such a bias it must've been rather small as none of the applicants benefited from it.
> well surprise it is easier being with similar ones.
It's not easier dealing with people from your own country but it is biased. From someone who has hired hundred+ remote developers in europe for 10 years to lead them and out of those hired a total of 2 people from my country. Wouldn't have been hard either.
At the same time I see some managers doing this, currently in another fully remote company have a manager colleague that has hired 3 brazillians back to back. Go figure. Just shows you that it's a biased person in other respects (we all are) and that they make zero efforts to keep it in check (this is a decision you make).
I've seen this kind of thing happen not through bias but because good people know good people, where by "good" I mean highly competent. They knew each other through university and other regional connections, so they happened to have the same ethnicity as one might expect from such a regional commonality. One got hired, referred another, and it cascaded. They were great to work with and highly competent, so I don't think there was bias even though it might appear that they're was.
Interesting to read, thank you very much. Are you still eating ketogenic? The bacillus subtilis seems to metabolize glucose, so are yours still alive? And did you try other probiotica beforehand? I am having HIT and eating a mostly carnivore diet with mostly fresh/unfermented meat.
I no longer do keto no. I also started keto after I had gotten better already from the probiotics but not much. I'm not sure where you read about that subtilis can only live off of glucose. I'm having a hard time finding primary sources that actually talk about this but handily Google's "AI mode" also "answered" my search query and it does state it primarily thrives on glucose and sugars but can also break down and live off of proteins and fats.
FWIW, as I understand it, many probiotics aren't going to colonize on their own and "stick around" for a prolonged period of time when you stop taking them, even under good circumstances but you can't quote me on that so to speak. And in the past we would've gotten many of them through one way or another through our diet as well, just not through a probiotic but naturally.
I tried multiple probiotics. Both blends of multiple types as well as things like "Saccharomyces Boulardii"-only preparation. I don't recall all the exact ones I tried though.
