Apple puts the NAND flash controller on package, so it cooled as part of the SoC/CPU as they share an IHS. Given it is part of the fabric it only has to maintain signal coherence on millimeter to micrometer scales, while enterprise&#x2

Qwen3.8/Qwen3.6 has a weird self doubt/thinking too much problem. You can prompt it away. I would say it "approximates" Opus 4.X class models well enough especially for coding/linux problems. The only reason I stopp

If they did not use my data for training, they should permit me to run the first 1-3 layers of the model locally and send them dense hidden state vectors. In my experience these compress very nicely without much effort.

Because nobody knows. Apple doesn't let you "pass" the GPU through to a VM like most other ARM/x86_64 processors (forwarding interrupts and PCIe memory regions). There are symbols defined to do this within the kernel (if

Shared Dynamic Libraries. Not to say they aren't useful. Keeping applications small, keeping security updates simple, sub linear ram scaling, yada-yada-yada, big wins cross the board, not debating that. The pervasive link detection str

HN is rightly pointing out putting a model into an ASIC is kind of dumb. HN is failing to understand that AMD knows this well. Taalas has WO2025217724A1 pending and AMD wants that because it is immediately a function block they can sell to

This reads like cope because you're re-inventing RAII from first principles. I cannot take this seriously as tutorials on robust Zig Allocation Pools will store a deinit method for each item within the pool, so when the pool deinits, a

Everyone jumping up about "enshitification". I tried to enable this feature on QEMU and it broke my VMs because the secure memory system was board-line hopelessly broken/non-functional. Did anyone even use this feature? Yes i

GStreamer is just a different front end to ffmpeg. ffmpeg's core functionality (encode, decode, streams, pipes, channels) are all implemented in `libav` which gstreamer links against.

Add to the list that martian dust contains a massive amount of carcinogens meaning any air/dust lock has to be an ISO-6 clean room. Sure it is a "solved" problem but all the solutions are very heavy.

It makes no difference at all. Edit: Opus prior to the context nerf it worked more often than not. Current Opus 4.7 is practically unusable.

Setting up `apt` to pull from a different repo (to say install firefox.dpkg instead of snap) requires like 3-4 commands which are easily searchable. I'd had effectively zero issues avoid snaps.

Buddy, I have 24Tb HDDs in my pool today. If anything the opposite has occurred. HDD scaling has largely flattened. Going from 1986 -> 2014, HDD size increased by 10x every 5.3 years [1]. If anything we should have 100Tb+ drives if scali

You are correct to point out the larger questions of supply chain cost (and their environmental impact) are not addressed in the root link.

I find this unconvincing. The actual discussion of LLM generation is very lacking. The original link [1] cites a discussion of the cost per query of GPT-4o at 0.3whr [2]. When you read the document [2] itself you see 0.3whr is a lower bound
