Seems like a pull request for vLLM was just approved a few minutes ago: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/41745 ("Add Gemma4 MTP speculative decoding support")

I disagree. I am old enough to remember the iPod nano -- Especially the 2nd generation. They were effectively low-priced and smaller iPods. Apple sold millions of these much much q…

Technically, the Apple Developer Transition Kit Mac Mini from the Apple Silicon transition (just before the M1 release) ran on an A12Z.

Enhanced mode was already in 3.0 (and I think allowed for flat addressing) However, Win32s was introduced in 3.11 which a subset of the Windows 32-bit API from NT. 3.11 also introd…

Mera Peak is said to be possible without any climbing experience, and it looks like the trek from Lukla is about 2 weeks. Is that true? How hard is the trek -- Looks like it requir…

Neither Europe nor EU is a single country with a single foreign policy. There are around 40 different small and large countries in Europe each with their own foreign policy, histor…

You are right. People went on with their lives, just as they did in many other parts of the world, but I don't think what happened is forgotten -- Not even in the US. Btw. as far a…

Yes. You are right. Unfortunately, many countries that were/are part of EU sent forces to Iraq (not all). You mention that Asia was suspicious, but the "coalition of willing" actua…

This doesn't really align with CNN's view, but may apply to another even more popular US news channel that seems to be much more aligned with the current administration... Greenlan…

Europe has not just "cheered on". There were demonstrations throughout Europe against the wars in the middle east and both e.g. France and Germany openly opposed the war in Iraq. T…

It may not just be about the minerals.... It could be about leaving NATO. US (Trump) feels they need Greenland for "security". They currently have (almost complete) access to use G…

I listened to the press conference the other day with Trumps cabinet meeting. It is bizar to listen to. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that windmills had killed 100+ whales. I tried…

I know OCR is easier to set up, but you lose a lot going that way. We process several million pages from Newspapers and Magazines from all over the world with medium to very high c…

This happens -- also variants which have been processed with OCR. So if it is scanned it contains just a single image - no text. OCR programs will commonly create a PDF where the t…

We do a lot of parsing of PDFs and basically break the structure into 'letter with font at position (box)' because the "structure" within the PDF is unreliable. We have algorithms …

I sort of agree... I do the same. We also parse millions of PDFs per month in all kinds languages (both Western and Asian alphabets). Getting the basics of PDF parsing to work is r…

Copenhagen's metro started with 2 lines in 2002 (now 4 lines). There are plans for more autonomy on the city's commuter trains (non-metro) in 2030-2037, starting with the first lin…

I would think that you could be right, but it could also be the opposite. Low demand in the US, means less sales to US, so they may try to make up for the loss of profit on the US …

Agreed. They stopped talking about it... I have a feeling they are not really that competitive in this market segment, but were helped by a strong brand. Anyone know if they actual…

Musk is already (frequently) raging against EU — the topics include freedom of speech and immigration… and calling the foreign minister of Poland “a little man”. There is a reason …
