Because nobody knows. Apple doesn't let you "pass" the GPU through to a VM like most other ARM/x86_64 processors (forwarding interrupts and PCIe memory regions). There are symbols …

HN is rightly pointing out putting a model into an ASIC is kind of dumb. HN is failing to understand that AMD knows this well. Taalas has WO2025217724A1 pending and AMD wants that …

This reads like cope because you're re-inventing RAII from first principles. I cannot take this seriously as tutorials on robust Zig Allocation Pools will store a deinit method for…

Everyone jumping up about "enshitification". I tried to enable this feature on QEMU and it broke my VMs because the secure memory system was board-line hopelessly broken/non-functi…

GStreamer is just a different front end to ffmpeg. ffmpeg's core functionality (encode, decode, streams, pipes, channels) are all implemented in `libav` which gstreamer links again…

Add to the list that martian dust contains a massive amount of carcinogens meaning any air/dust lock has to be an ISO-6 clean room. Sure it is a "solved" problem but all the soluti…

It makes no difference at all. Edit: Opus prior to the context nerf it worked more often than not. Current Opus 4.7 is practically unusable.

This is because LLMs don't actually understand language, they're just a "which word fragment comes next machine". Instruction: don't think about ${term} Now `${term}` is in the LLM…

Buddy, I have 24Tb HDDs in my pool today. If anything the opposite has occurred. HDD scaling has largely flattened. Going from 1986 -> 2014, HDD size increased by 10x every 5.3 yea…

You are correct to point out the larger questions of supply chain cost (and their environmental impact) are not addressed in the root link.

Thanks!

I find this unconvincing. The actual discussion of LLM generation is very lacking. The original link [1] cites a discussion of the cost per query of GPT-4o at 0.3whr [2]. When you …
