… thinking about that “login with Amber” feature & wondering if I should just vibe code something

I am participating in BTC Prague!

I have reached 18677 steps so far!

It's been a hot minute since I've noted an update.

In short because I'm not going to be longwinded ... Dad made it through 6 months, almost 7, and mostly in good spirit. This past week was tough. Mom noticed some subtle changes in his behavior. Home health nudged her along the lines of taking him to the ER to rule out a stroke. We were at the ER all of Wednesday night. They found another mass in his brain that caused swelling. He's scheduled for another MRI Tuesday and a visit with the surgeon and cancer doctor.

He's in absolutely no pain and remains hopeful. I've been with them every chance I could get, mostly every weekend. I cannot emphasize enough that, if your parents are still breathing and despite the history, cherish their presence, make new memories to replace the old/bad, and live in the moment with them. Bless them with the heart of no regrets and feelings of unconditional love and forgiveness. Sow these seeds and you will reap them two fold. Our children are watching.

so, i loaded the LLM called Athene on my pc and asked it a question, and it's writing the solution slower than a beginner two finger typist.

the blurb about it said that it beats GPT-4o at coding problems but right now it's burning a good 150W of power for about one word in three seconds, my CPU is flat out at 80% utilization.

however, if it manages to pull off what i asked it to, i will have a variable integer encoding that also sorts lexicographically, that is, the varint equivalent of big endian encoding. normally varints calculate forwards and the LSB is on the left but for this task, it has to be on the right. i don't really understand how it can actually work because a smaller number is shorter, so how can a longer value not disrupt the sort order of a collection of keys.

anyhoo. lol. i can see why they need so much power and you need to depend on giant data centers full of GPUs to decode the matrixes to get a usable experience. i can only assume that the GPU is maybe 2-4x as efficient as the CPU for power per computation, but has more memory bandwidth.
