My uneducated guess says, not much. For running massive models you still need a ton of high-bandwidth interconnects between many individual chips/GPUs/etc since you need to do math…

I'm not who you responded to and I don't have any info on Google. Nor can I explain in detail due to NDAs. But multiple major players are working on something along the lines of wh…

How is “all RAM sold in consumer PCs must be registered ECC” equivalent to age verification laws? I’m not saying I agree with the premise but that is a bit of a leap

> ECC DIMMs are available only for the memory speeds guaranteed to work by the manufacturers of CPUs, like Intel and AMD, e.g. for up to DDR5-5600 in UDIMMs or DDR5-6400 in RDIMMs.…

There are absolutely fast DDR5 ECC DIMMs[1]. Just break out your wallet (and piggy bank, and rainy day fund, and..) The main reason there aren’t more options here is that a) high-f…

I’ve been running a Supermicro X10SLH-LN6TF as my router, and it’s very well suited for the job. Power use is very high for a home router, but reasonable for a 1U router - especial…

Do you think it’s legal to shoot a firework at someone’s house?

In ~300k km worth of diy oil changes, I’ve yet to change a crush washer, and yet to have a drain plug leak. I always replace them on friends’ Toyotas, because they seem more import…

Changing oil requires > a place where you have sufficient access to the vehicle to drain it Probably the only valid argument for people who park on the street. > the right equipmen…

I am typing this on my return flight home from a business trip in Delhi. There are many other areas the Indian government needs to be focussing on first. I had a similar view to yo…

I’ve tested this recently (this post week). Had a dns entry up and pointing to an nginx server for ~12 hours, zero requests. 17 seconds after the letsencrypt cert was issued, the f…

I agree. I ran mid 16s in 8th grade, and was in the 14s in high school, with the only training being whatever we did in gym class. But I do also look at the sheer number of overwei…

> Very few mere mortals could run that fast for even 100m. That works out to roughly a 16.7-second 100m. While certainly not crawling, that would be a fairly average pace for a fai…

I’ve mentioned this as an option in other discussions, but if you don’t care that much about tok/sec, 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4s with 1TB of DDR3 in a supermicro X10QBi will run a 397b mo…

I stopped getting scared of `if` and `of` about a decade ago when I started explicitly saying (in my head) "input file" and "output file" rather than "if" and "of." You still can m…

You can however set the block size to something quite large, which means you write the same random pattern spread out over multiple blocks repeatedly. If you pick an "odd" block si…

Yes, that’s right, don’t buy any new car, any phone, any television. Hell don’t buy any x86 laptop or desktop computer, since you can’t disable out replace Intel ME/etc.

How is that better?

How does SSH become an arbitrary user without effective root?

How on god’s green earth is `sudo apt install telnet` sufficiently challenging to be a driving factor to creating your own distro??

Damn, is this the first time ever the east coast is doing better than Colorado? We’ve had record snowfalls all over Quebec, I spent all day last Friday skiing in a foot of fresh po…
