    I didn't check thoroughly, but the first one I happened to grep out was not on that list: "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Amazonbot/0.1; + https://d…

    I just put Anubis in front of my self-hosted forge this morning because AmazonBot had helped itself to 750 GiB (!) of traffic to my public repos this month! At least, it claimed to…

    Parent's article says > Starting from version 6.6 of the Linux kernel, [CFS] was replaced by the EEVDF scheduler.[citation needed]

    It’s <= a Radeon 7600 GPU (28 CUs RDNA3 vs 32), so I’m not sure I’d have advertised it as a 4k60 machine. Then again I’m not a marketer so what do I know. 4k60 is a flexible target…

    What coordinate in the space is furthest from any named color? It looks like there are some relatively large voids in the blue/purple boundary area but it’s hard to say.

    I think I’d buy something with Strix Halo or Strix Point if there was official ROCm support. As of 6.4.1 from earlier this month there’s still not, as I understand it. I’d be delig…

    The article goes on to say what the author thinks is bad about this: > We’re not raising emotionally intelligent kids. We’re raising kids to navigate human unpredictability as if i…

    I compiled it for Ampere and counted 6834 actual F32 operations in the SASS after optimizations. I only counted FFMA, FADD, FMUL, FMNMX, and MUFU.RSQ after eyeballing the SASS code…

    I basically have an even simpler version of something like this for my own personal use too. I found it pretty easy to write in Go and my area of expertise is decidedly not web fro…

    Since you asked for “all the feedback,” there’s a typo on your landing page: “The Meha API utilizes it's home-grown” -> “its” Also, I got a relay access denied error when I tried t…

    My reading of OP is that it’s less about whether zopfli is technically the best way to achieve a 5% reduction in package size, and more about how that relatively simple proposal in…

    Yeah, we really just try to come up with very loose bounds since the analysis is hard. Even so, it does occasionally stop us from getting things way way wrong.

    I have worked on a performance-portable math library. We implement BLAS, sparse matrix operations, a variety of solvers, some ODE stuff, and various utilities for a variety of seri…

    It’s been a long time since I worked on FPGAs, but it sounds like FPGAs! What do you see as the main differences?

    Your impression is correct. Peer review would never catch this. Peer review basically assumes the counter party is operating in good faith, and as a result a thorough peer review b…

    DOE HPC people are not having this problem with AMD GPUs: here’s a paper that reports 1.36 TB/s on one GCD of an MI250x (theoretical is 1.6TB/s). https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145…

    It’s far from what I do now, but as an undergrad I built an automatic guitar tuner. It had a PIC32 microcontroller that read the sound waves on GPIO pins and did some cross-correla…

    In my line of US government coding (no relationship with this project), NDA is orthogonal to security. NDA is used to protect confidential vendor information. For example: that the…

    From my perspective, it seems two main things limit LLM adoption in my area of the Department of Energy. I'm not in management, so I don't have any particular insight in the procur…
