I cannot actually get the program working (which could easily be user error), but I could replicate the md5 by removing a newline vim inserted for me. If your file is 142 bytes, th…

Emoji are text. Which text editor/browser/settings should I be using to ensure I copy your reply accurately? With the exception of (sigh) newlines, I surely hope your text editor a…

Oh this is delightful! x86 assembly isn't something I'm familiar with (and I should really get back to $dayjob), but I will mention the existence of emoji-test.txt [1] in case some…

I don't see why that would matter. Sure, it was noticed on a browser but ultimately this article is about overlap between x86 assembly and a subset of the unicode standard. The bro…

You can work around this in various ways yes (I'll add dynamic recompilation to your list of workarounds), but you're always going to have the problem of "Somebody downloaded a pro…

This does exist, we call it Java (or C# or probably a dozen other implementations) The big tradeoff you're making is that you have significantly less time to run your optimizer, si…

What alternative do you then propose for "I'd like to install this random application which isn't popular/high quality enough to be included in the main repository"? Everyone figur…

However terrible it is, it is still a mistake unless you're accusing them of doing it deliberately. And however much you can say about the current US Administration, I don't think …

You're not the first person to say so (and I don't mean to dispute it), but I have never been able to find a clear answer for /why/ those processes are incompatible. Is it built in…

That's a negative framing and while I'm not going to call it /wrong/, but world population is increasing so of course our energy usage is going to increase too. If you scroll a lit…

Could you point me towards the kind of code people programming in dynamically-typed languages produce? I have lived in statically typed languages almost all of my life, and even wh…

Not going probably never even crossed his mind. Social status in Roman society was very strongly influenced by military success. He was a previously successful general. Historicall…

Yes and so we use HBM for AI (among other things), but that's an exception. For things like games or displaying webpages, its not very important and we generally don't put HBM into…

I think you have misplaced a unit somewhere, because that would be a truly absurd amount of corn. A quick trip past wikipedia [1] suggest the figure was 383.6 million tonnes in 202…

Your feelings are obviously your own, but a Starlink terminal isn't that big and can transfer quite a lot of tokens. Every single satellite has sufficient cooling for its power pro…

The satellite moves, so every orbit it captures a globe spanning strip that is 50 miles wide (here uncritically accepting the 50 miles figure). And the carrier isn't going to be in…

So, is there anything about GPU's in here right now? I didn't actually finish Act 2, but it seems to end in a conventional processor with the GPU first coming after another two act…

What is so unbelievable about that? Sure, its going to take decades to actually make the transition and the UH-60 will remain in service for decades more after that in less demandi…

The L2 already keeps track of what lines are somewhere in L1's for managing coherency. Divide the cache into "meta-caches" indexed by the virtual bits and treat them as separate fr…

Can you not take some of those virtual bits and get more buckets that way? I am sure it will make things more complicated if nothing else by them possibly being mapped to the same …

I'm sorry, I'm clearly missing something but why would page size impact L1 cache size?

Alas, no matter how the bits that makes up my bank balance looks, in practice its still a single point of failure where I might simply lose access to my money if the right service …

The guts of a LLM isn't something I'm well versed in, but > to get the first N tokens sorted, only when the big model and small model diverge do you infer on the big model suggests…

More or less, yes. Of course, defects are not evenly distributed, so you get a lot of chips with different grades of brokenness. Normally the more broken chips gets sold off as low…

Whatever our human laws and morality says about right and wrong and fault, the laws of physics usually judges the car a winner when it hits somebody. Placing yourself somewhere whe…
