Viewing profile — baruch

I find it useful to see such a project. It's an interesting view of the system and a neat idea, I don't care if it's just a couple of ai prompts and will be abandoned next week or …

It is possible to get more tokens out of the same hardware by leveraging fast storage for KVCache, it is especially useful for agentic workloads.

If they started doing caching properly and using proper sunrooms for that they'd have a better chance with that

It is mathematically impossible for a proper hash function (one with an output range smaller than its input range) to not have collisions. The proof uses the Pigeon Hole Principle …

You can ask an LLM to create a github action for that. The action can fail if the rebase fails and you can either fix it yourself or ask an LLM to do it for you.

Isn't that handled pretty well these days with sub agents? They can research the code without polluting the context.

There is a global setting you can do to disable using the Claude.ai MCPs from being used on your Claude code.

The complaints are against the open-weight LLMs, I didn't try them much. I do use mostly Claude as that's what the company is paying for. They don't pay for laptops with GPUs or lo…

I work with D and LLMs do very well with it. I don't know if it could be better but it does D well enough. The problem is only working on a complex system that cannot all be held i…

Is it possible to put such a driver for nvme under igb_uio or another uio interface? I have an app that uses raw nvme devices and being able to tests strange edge cases would be a …

Ages ago, working on an embedded system we did something similar by running gdb server on the embedded machine and gdb on the server and running a script to collect periodic stack …

The company still got $20B of cash(?) in its books, it can pay dividends to its shareholders (investors) and they get their payment. The company can go down the drain afterwards. I…

We do storage systems and use DPDK in the application, when the network IS the bottleneck it is worth it. Saturating two or three 400gbps NICs is possible with DPDK and the right a…

Once there will be a business around this and people will make money the businesses will maintain a lobby to keep doing it and even increase the operation.

I only use my common sense here, but it doesn't stop the production it just prevents the transport from the source to the destination through the area that was previously iron defi…

It's easier to write the system's front end while paying little attention to the backend and "just" letting a local filesystem do a lot of the work for you, but it doesn't work wel…

I find that my understanding of different layers is usually not needed but is rarely important toy ability to solve thorny issues or figure out ways to do things or debug issues th…

The advantage for text based interfaces is that they work over ssh/tmate over trans atlantic connections whereas the GUI tools would suffer greatly. It just works everywhere and if…

Asynchronous IO with user space threads works wonders to get both the performance of async IO and the convenience of sequential programming.

My day job is working on a product that uses DPDK for a super high performance file system.

Your company already doesn't really care about you (for the vast majority of them at least), so there is a conflict of interest but you personally shouldn't take the side of the co…

I do. To learn a code base it before tremendously, also to find what happened and why things were done it is off great help. I don't need it every day but I routinely do git archeo…

Do note that more drives mean higher chance to see a failure...

I'm working mostly with enterprise drives and not consumer. These drives can write continuously at 1 to 4 GB/s depending on the specific type (mixed use vs read intensive vs very l…
