My understanding (perhaps outdated) is that manufacturing variability is a key challenge for analog computing. Digital designs are also fundamentally analogue under the hood, but if you only need to resolve a 0 or 1 you are much more tolera

Earnestly: LLM hosting companies allow easy exchange of money for relatively nuanced language processing. Great power for filtering text anywhere you have the need.

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 be AmazonBot…

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 with FSR I suppose.

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 delighted to be corrected on this matter.

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, so there might even be more. It's possible the FMNMX

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 frontend/backend. I’d recommend it as a fun little project

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 to email you at info@meha.ai

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 interacted with the NPM committee. Do you think something like

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.
