If a model is good enough today, it's still gonna be good enough in a year. Except you'll be able to serve it 1/100 of the price. Or 100x the speed.

VLIW works for DSP applications, it's not an instant dead end. It's a good fit in cases where code path and memory accesses are predictable, like shader code.

Ahem, the best version of Windows was 2000 / 2003 x64 server. It had all the improvements from real world experience gained by NT 3.5 and 4.0 and none of the consumer crap pushed i…

AI will be required to maintain the piles of tech crap we've built and that society now stands on. New generations are no longer as tech savvy, pushed toward being simple users and…

Is this better than the previous polyglot extension?

That will not happen for backward compatibility reasons but a new build tool with a modern CLI would be nice. One that's declarative like Maven (without the XML) and doesn't requir…

With the right kind of credentials, it's not about need, it's about want. Flip the roles and let yourself become an object of desire, an aspirational hire.

I'm using Hermes but these should apply to any agent that has both TUI and GUI versions. The GUI version will have: - drag and drop - show document type, icon and filename - inline…

Would it be possible to fork the previous (good) version?

I wish Darktable and Immich could be integrated into a single system.

In this case, they wouldn't touch your data but their AI safety system would also prevent you from accessing it! What do you think their security model will be trained on? That's r…

Even RTX 3060 12GB to 24GB would be interesting. Can't wait for someone to realize there's a market for low-power/mid-spec 32GB GPU/TPU. Local, tuned open weights is going to quick…

You are right, 'A' stands for Architecture. _Instruction Set_ Architecture that is. Not CPU architecture. I should have been more clear: > RV32I doesn't define the hardware archite…

RV32I doesn't define any architecture, it's just an ISA i.e. a software contract that happens to be implementable in hardware. The CPU could run on outer space goop and still be RV…

Alpha was great but that wasn't enough against the convenience of just running an x86 box. It didn't find a niche quickly enough. ARM survived because they were low power. POWER su…

I used a Docker image. Good enough as is for LAN usage. I assume it could be exposed online with a Cloudflare tunnel but I wouldnt trust it to not be hacked. Docker may also make i…

Piracy encouraged buying music. You'd learn of this cool band through a friend and would buy their next album when it came out. People still had the same budget for music but weren…

Yet a few years before that Sony had no qualms selling walkmans, blank tape cassettes and dual-tape portable sound systems, often with double speed copy function. We would gather f…

Hahem, Wernher von Braun... What is it with nazis and rockets anyway?

Except that ARM is pretty much theirs, or at least they have complete control over it, which they never did for any previous arch. They also handle chip production directly. Nothin…

Uh thanks but I'm gonna stick with Scattergories for now.

We knew she'd be right in the real world though.

It's still regular CPU memory, based on DDR. It's 256 bits wide but it's not GDDR. Unified just means that the CPU and GPU use the same physical memory bank. It does not make memor…

What vendor? OpenJDK is free and libre. If you mean Oracle, then that's a choice your employer made and yeah, you're SoL, especially for working in such a place.

I was rather thinking of bees developing the ability to shoot tiny lasers to cook the mites off like popcorn. Or maybe a static discharge from their wings rubbing together, like a …
