In practice, what gets labelled as the L1 cache in a GPU marketing diagram or 3rd party analysis might well not be that first level of a strict cache hierarchy. That means it’s hard to do any kind of cross-vendor or cross-architecture compa

One interesting thing is they seem to have also cloned the number of stars each repo has on GitHub. At least that’s true for a cursory check of a few that I’ve committed to. If you click on the star count you’ll then see two separate counts

So was there ever a deal with OpenAI? Nothing in the keynote mentioned them or needs them. If there isn’t a deal, I’d love to know how everyone claiming it was signed on the dotted line was led so far down that garden path.

For me, if you spend your life reading and writing prose or code, text rendering quality is surely paramount. I’m curious what you think the energy should be spent on instead.

Just in case anyone reads the parent and the takeaway is you can’t: you can still operate UniFi that way if you want to. The cloud connection and apps are optional.

The mention of OLED is sideways to the network stuff, it just so happens the device he chose has an OLED screen. The protocol is FreakWAN, so there’s no TCP/IP involved. LoRa devices send messages opportunistically and listen out for o

One thing that struck me as I read through was that the computational cost for TLS 1.3 is so expensive that it becomes infeasible to run on the slower machines, resulting in timeouts and failed connections while setting them up. Yet those o

I’m willing to see what Ubiquiti will do to make it right before I switch away, because I have a local-only setup of EdgeRouter and UniFi APs that’s been absolutely great in the years I’ve had it, but this is really last chance saloon stuff

I bought a domain to use for my home network instead. I have LE issue a cert for it via DNS challenge and use it liberally with hosts on my LAN, with the excellent benefit that I don’t need to give clients a new CA I invented.

Graphcore are coining the initialism, therefore I imagine they’re not keen on it being applied to anything other than their design and its novel architectural approach. It’ll likely end up just like GPU though, as part of the industry’s nom
