ZFS sort of moved inside the NVMe controller - it also checksums and scrubs things all the time, you just don't see it. This does not, however, support multi-device redundant stora…

Strange specs table - it seems to ignore the tensor core FLOPs, which is what you'd be using most of the time if you're interested in computational throughput.

I think they can be, except of course the problems need to be much harder, and impossible to solve via vibe coding alone. Like it or not, AI assistance is going to stay with us. Th…

Hmm, generating royalty-free music on Suno, or getting involved with some pompous dude who strokes out at the sight of someone eating a burger and demands 51% for his "no strings a…

I woke up to this in 2016 when theretofore beloved public figure Donald Trump turned into literally Hitler immediately after he descended down that elevator in the Trump tower, all…

At 192 cores you're way better off buying a Mac Studio, though.

Thanks for chiming in! How do you explain the top-most graph in Figure 5? Am I misreading it?

Did I say it wasn't? If your context is short and your model is small, it is possible to run LLMs on high-end CPUs able to support 12 channels of high-spec DDR5 RDIMMs. It's not po…

Note that this is _way_ slower at small batch sizes you'd need for interactive use. At batch size 1 this seems to run at 1/3rd the speed of bf16 (so about 1/6th the speed of fp8 yo…

Depends on what kind of exercise. A few heavy sets of barbell squats or deadlifts will put you out pretty good. Especially the deadlifts.

A case study on media narrative peddling: https://www.koat.com/article/las-cruces-former-judge-allegat... Original title: "Former New Mexico judge and wife arrested by ICE". It's a…

And all the drugs and treatments derived from those "studies" are going to continue to be prescribed for another couple of decades, much like they were cutting people up to "cure u…

As far as I can tell, it's "$20K" the same way Cybertruck was "$39K". It's not available for purchase yet, and when it is, it'll be twice as much, because Bezos also likes money.

Why though? Does anyone use it? I tried to use it on my iPad Pro and couldn't get used to it. This would make sense if some iPhone model was a tri-fold foldable with a huge screen,…

It's kinda like Suno, except Suno sounds pretty good sometimes. Even so, I played with Suno for a few days and lost interest. There are some amazing examples on Suno, though: https…

We'll see about that, won't we. Printing $2T in an average year and paying $1T+ in interest _with borrowed money_ certainly does feel like a Ponzi scheme to me. No way out of this …

Printing arbitrary amounts of money on a whim without actually backing it with anything does undermine the solvency of the government, however. As we will discover within the next …

I went the other way around. I carry my Z8 everywhere (in the backpack or on the strap), take it with me when I travel anywhere, and lately I've been shooting quite a bit of video …

I thought this was a settled issue: the date is August 15, 1971. This is the exact date the US Government became a Ponzi scheme. On August 15 1971 gold was $35 per troy ounce. Toda…

Looking at the comments, the blowback to this is pretty wonderful to see. There's hope for HN after all. More and more people are realizing that they don't have to blindly subscrib…

And then throw in some co-located compute there using chiplets, entirely bypassing the memory bus and PCIe. That'd be _the_ ideal Transformer substrate. Memory bandwidth bottleneck…
