That's not very efficient

Encode every 0 as 10 - then decode every 10 back to 0. Or more efficiently, the first 0 as 10, then decode the the first 10 as 0.

OAuth is designed so that an end-user never needs to see an API key (OAuth refresh/access token) or even know what one is. When it is implemented to the spec, that happens well. I …

Amazon Route 53 is $0.40 per million DNS queries - which would terrify me if I used it, considering a typical 10Gbit server connection hosted at a unscrupulous ASN with no egress I…

> I feel like IPv6 is overengineered In what metrics? IPv6 is more simple to implement than IPv4. In Linux 7.1.1 IPv4 is 84kLOC, IPv6 is 59kLOC.

I can think of a few reasons: There wasn't any such features for x86 when the patch was created, other than AES-NI. Many hardware platforms that have TPM, have it connected via a l…

There was a patch called Tresor that did this, but I don't think it was updated for a long time. You have to store the encryption key in CPU registers and ensure it's not saved to …

> well that is fortunate I think that was one of the arguments of the Anthropic principle [1], that there doesn't appear to be any reason why there are 3 spatial dimensions and 1 t…

You're right that the ECC validation is very robust, but that only validates one small part - that the drive is reading what it has previously written, not that the data was correc…

Because I would have expected for game development that it would be rare for majority of the large assets (art, textures, 3d meshes, video, sound, music) to change multiple times p…

I play games but I suppose I don't download a 100GB game frequently enough for it to matter to myself.

True, but that is transport (TLS). I was asking about the underlying data.

Please can you enlighten the ignorant that are also gamers? :)

Is that 80-100GB of unique data multiple times per day? Is it encrypted with a different key every time? Sounds very interesting.

One side-effect, is that the separate .mmproj file (Multi-Modal Projection encoder) is no longer needed, when using the model with llama.cpp etc.

+1 this. Example: Using Mistral TTS voice cloning appears to be not possible via the "providers" pass-through object in the OpenRouter API because some parameters are always forwar…

The latest Raspberry Pi 5 has one 32-bit channel (2x 16-bit subchannels) of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM giving 17.1GB/s of bandwidth, 52x less than this GPU. Never mind lacking the CUDA and…

The AMD MI250X GPUs are also interesting - 128GB of HBM2E at 3TB/s, sometimes you see them second-hand for under $1k, the catch obviously is that it needs an OAM socket. Never seen…

> canonicality matters — for signatures, content-addressing, or any kind of “two implementations must agree on the bytes” property If you don't do this properly, you end up with th…

The problem is AVX-512 was disabled in later Intel Alder Lake CPUs, and later generation Intel desktop CPUs, so very few Intel desktop CPUs have AVX-512 now. Ironic that AMD has be…

I loved hearing this comment in my mind :)

I was also thinking along the same lines. Interesting, but I'm not sure in which aspect it is an achievement, considering the loop isn't a regex. Meanwhile, 1K ZX Chess takes fewer…

Even with O_DIRECT and aligned blocks, I still don't understand how the storage engine can return a "successful commit" to the client without a sync at some point, because a sync (…

The eigenvalue distribution looks somewhat similar to Benford's Law - isn't that expected for a human-curated corpus?
