That's the idea behind Taalas ( https://taalas.com ), except as silicon rather than ROM. They run a demo at https://chatjimmy.ai/ which serves an old open weights model (Llama 3.1 8B) at something like 15,000

This might be a very dumb question, but if the process is being run under KVM to catch `int 0x03` then couldn't you also use KVM to catch `syscall` and execute the original binary as-is? I don't understand what value the instructi

Surprising that the Linux setup instructions for the server component don't include Docker/Podman as an option, its Snap/PPA for Ubuntu and RPM for Fedora. Maybe the assumption is that container-oriented users can build their

It doesn't matter, though. xxhash is better than crc32 for hashing keys in a hash table, but both of them are inappropriate for file checksums -- especially as part of a data archival/durability strategy. It's not obvious to

I use CBZ to archive both physical and digital comic books so I was interested in the idea of an improved container format, but the claimed improvements here don't make sense. --- For example they make a big deal about each archive ent

I'm not (only) talking about the general population, but major sites. As a quick sanity check, the following sites are serving images with the `image/jpeg` content type: * CNN (cnn.com): News-related photos on their front page * R

Most of the code in WebP and AVIF is shared with VP8/AV1, which means if your browser supports contemporary video codecs then it also gets pretty good lossy image codecs for free. JPEG-XL is a separate codebase, so it's far more e

There's at least one proprietary platform that supports Git built by via a vendor-provided C compiler, but for which no public documentation exists and therefore no LLVM support is possible. Ctrl+F for "NonStop" in https:&#x

Among ecosystems based on YAML-formatted configuration defaulting to YAML 1.1 is nearly universal. The heyday of YAML was during the YAML 1.1 era, and those projects can't change their YAML parsers' default version to 1.2 without

Arguably the root problem was lack of user namespacing; the incident would have been less likely to happen in the first place if the packages in question were named "~akoculu/left-pad" and "~akoculu/kik".

Nothing that you wrote here indicates you understand what is being discussed. Water has very low compressive strength, so low that it freely deforms under its own weight. You can observe this by pouring some water onto a table. This behavio
