      Need to know what day a specific date is? Meet the 'cal' command 🧰

      This little nifty tool is typically preinstalled on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and others.

      💡 Without a parameter it shows you the current month
      💡 Use -m or -M to start the weekday on a Monday
      💡 Give it a year to see the full year

      Fast, clear, and no distractions 😎

      Command missing? Package name to install might be bsdmainutils or ncal.

Auf GitHub gesichtet! Während alle damit beschäftigt sind, Qwen3.6 27B gegen das neue Qwen3.8 27B Dense Drop auf ihren einzelnen RTX 4090s und 3090s auszutauschen, verbirgt sich das eigentliche stille Update in diesem GitHub-Commit: 35B insgesamt, ~3B aktiv. Dasselbe MoE-Rezept, das Qwen3.6 35B A3B zu einem Favoriten für 8-16GB VRAM-Setups machte. Noch nicht offiziell angekündigt, liegt einfach in der Tabelle der unterstützten Modelle. Wenn das Muster anhält, fallen die Gewichte bald. GPU-arme Gang, das ist euer Zeichen. Es wurde gesichtet unter github.com/modelscope/ms-swift Dieser Commit (ab726e9) im modelscope/ms-swift Repository ist mit der Unterstützung für die Qwen3.8-Modellfamilie verbunden.
