    Fantastic news, thanks for sharing. I stopped looking into it after some spectacularly bad hard lockups, some in prod…

    While it’s true it also seems kinda worthless through broad applicability and ties moral values to power or money, which I don’t think many people would agree with. Every US presid…

    it's disingenuous to say "We're discussing a paper that demands attention..." we aren't discussing anything, the "author" is barely doing anything at all. it's not a good summary, …

    Correct. Additionally, topical is not FDA approved. While not necessary for research it adds typically unwanted complications to studies.

    I think the unit you and the article want are MW-Day of un enforced capacity UCAP, not MW/Day. PJM claims this will be a 1.5-5% yoy increase for retail power. https://www.pjm.com/-…

    https://hackaday.com/2023/08/11/usb-c-cable-tester-is-compac... These sorts of devices can tell you how a cable is wired up, which is great for a a first pass or spot checking.

    That’s an awful thing to have gone through, but they are sometimes in a lose-lose-lose situation wrt insurance(s)-best practices-community concerns. Maybe the patient’s insurance r…

    I don’t think it’s microkernels in general but their microkernel design which wants as much as possible in userspace. They want each component to have its own memory space. ZFS blu…

    Very interesting project, I wish I had gone down this route instead of the undocumented hell of usb PTP with hundreds of edge/corner case work arounds.

    Deepseek has their own and they’re relatively small https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS It’s specialized knowledge, hard to do “correctly” (read posix here) but obtainable and imple…

    Yeah this site does not scroll like butter as it were. But I don’t think css can leverage the gpu in most (any?) cases. Apple has almost certainly baked something into the silicon …

    There’s also weirdness with the drivers and hdmi, I think around encryption mainly. But if you only have DP and include an adapter, it’s suddenly “not my problem” from the perspect…

    Seems like it has 5 petaflops of compute from a SiPearl (French) designed Rhea-1 Edit: that might be speculative or a future addition cause they taped out less than 2 months ago ht…

    There’s something especially bad about radiological burns. Not necessarily knowing severe damage is being done, we don’t have a feedback loop to even know we should get away. And b…

    For a technical audience, it’s probably one of the better choices, it’s probably a poor one for mass consumption. A purely linear graph would absolutely crush their pdf installer a…

    What exactly is the point of abusing the word “unlimited” here? You’ll never be able to go over 168GB, let them call it the 169.69 plan

    I bought a threadripper pro system out of desperation, trying to get secondhand PCIe 80G A100s to run locally. The huge rebar allocations confused/crashed every Intel/AMD system I …

    raidz doesn't work exactly like raid, but conceptually it's helpful to carry over that knowledge. the biggest difference is that all drives can potentially have parity blocks on th…

    This would be difficult to apply to R&D orgs or anything seen as a typical cost center. Also, medical facilities… you certainly could define it as profit, but that bothers me and m…

    I’m not sure what you mean, they have a 0% inheritance tax, and a fully codified succession framework mostly through civil laws.

    Each CRI is referenced to an ideal black body radiator at the same temp below 5000k. And there are 7 (or 14) sample points. I’m not disagreeing with you, I agree that a high cri 18…
