      This is madness. Some stories actually have good guys. I don't know Adam directly, but we have plenty of second degree connections. I've benefited immensely from his work, have never heard anyone say a single negative thing about him, and I genuinely believe he's done more to push the web forward with Tailwind than the larger players have done (certainly more than Facebook did with React and Google has done with Angular/AMP/etc).

      Reflexively assuming that unanimous positive sentiment towards someone is itself an indication of a problem is exactly the reason people are writing posts as recently as (double checks) _yesterday_ titled "65% of Hacker News Posts Have Negative Sentiment, and They Outperform" https://philippdubach.com/standalone/hn-sentiment/

      This is amazing, I just spent some time scrolling through these, most of the evolution is about inference cost not capability. GQA, MoE routing, sliding window attention, all trading theoretical capacity for practical efficiency.

      Tbh might be the last generation of architectures designed entirely by humans. I dug into that (1) and might add another paragraph based on this if I find the time. The Big LLM Architecture Comparison (2) by Sebastian Raschka already inspired my ograph image for the blog -thanks again!

      Local inference is the future imho.
