Cactus, a Y Combinator-backed startup, enables local AI inference to mobile phones, wearables, and other low-power devices through cross-platform, energy-efficient kernels and a native runtime. It delivers sub-50ms time-to-first-token for on-device inference, eliminates network latency, and defaults to complete privacy.

She explains how techniques like LoRA, quantization, and GRPO allow for high performance with less compute. By sharing the "Ubuntu Punk" philosophy, she shares how to move beyond extractive data practices toward human-centric, sustainable AI systems.

I've been dating a great girl for 3 1/2 years. I met her on an internet dating site. She lived in Ft. Lauderdale when we met, but she's since sold her house down there and moved up here to Jupiter. No living together or marriage yet. She's leery about moving in with a teenager. She went through hell with her own son.
On a kind of downer note, I was diagnosed with Lymphoma about two years ago. So far no symptoms, so no treatment yet. I did have some radiation when they first found it, but they didn't catch it early enough to cure it, so now it's just watch and wait. I'm trying to stay positive about it. It's a very non-aggressive type, so I'm hoping to stay around for a while.
I would check Facebook every once in a while to see if you ever signed up. There's a Richard Koloski on there, but definitely not you. You're much better looking than the other one. So I resorted to a Google search and found you here. A lot of the old WPC crowd is on Facebook. George, Sartini, Tessier, Kathy Coda. A lot of them ask about you.
So, give me an update on what's been going on in your life. Wife, kids, where you're living, what's happened to you in the past 20 years. And let me know if you ever get down my way. I'd love to see ya. My email address is sluks@bellsouth.net. Hope to hear from you soon. I had to edit stuff out because of the text limit.
