Yep, tons of decent homegrown stuff in Azure. And for a long time - see the Catapult FPGA cards.

Not that it matters, but Microsoft has been doing AI accelerators for a bit too - project Brainwave has been around since 2018 - https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/build-2018-project-brainwave/

Interesting, Robert Jordan basically directly lifts that term for the Romani-esque tinkers in Wheel of Time.

Signed ≠ enforced. At least for 4677 Intel stuff, gigabyte & HP and others let you modify the firmware and flash it.

Yes it is. Supermicro is one of the only vendors that tries to prevent this attack at all through RoT. Other vendors you can flash whatever unsigned firmware you want. It’s very useful for adding in microcode for intel engineering samples,

This is completely untrue! Important communications have always been enciphered since language has been created I’d wager, whether that cipher is specific terms (grog means attack that person in 10 seconds!) or a book cipher, e.i. The first

Isn’t it well known you can tell plant health via there spectral return? NVDI cameras/filters? https://static.publiclab.org/#wiki/ndvi The difference here being absorption vs. emission I guess?

I love ghostty and use it daily, somehow I missed it was by Mitchell Hashimoto! Very cool to see.

Everyone is somewhat missing the point here that the California bar is making. They don't care if you use an AI or a Llama spitting at a board of letters to assemble your case, you are responsible for what you submit to the court. This

I’ve been doing this a lot! AI seems to really excel at setting up compiler boilerplate/minor modifications for new arch. I made a simple cpu information utility work on HP PA-RISC and Sparc64 :)

This 1000%; and some 1us are extra 666. I had a sparc t2000 at one point, it was so much louder than a 1u Supermicro. Or whatever was in Microsoft HW labs, those you could hear from multiple hallways over… There were non optional earplugs a

Jeff is a good person/blogger and does interesting projects but more experience with niche hardware than literally anyone is a stretch. Like what about the people who maintain the alpha/sparc/parisc linux kernels? Or the desi

It’s incredibly rare and specific, many people in the DB world don’t even know about them. 60x60mm sensor, larger than the actual film gate of 56x56mm There was also a version for the Rollei 6x6 6000 series, the Rollei Q16. I’ve only seen o

In fact there is basically only one digital back ever made at that size, the dicomed bigshot.

I’m personally really happy people are interested enough to both try installing old operating systems using old hardware and blog about it!

It installs stuff super fast! It sadly doesn’t solve stuff like transformer_engine being built with cxx11 ABI and pytorch isn’t by default, leading to missing symbols…

That's cool you worked on a PA-RISC system as a job! The ISA seems clean and the later superscalar designs were very advanced for their time. I think an updated PA-RISC design be awesome for modern workloads; huge caches with prefetch,

The PA-RISC processor are really cool - the C8900 has a 64MB external shared L2, and a 768KB I & D cache per core. That's more I & D cache than any modern processor I am aware of, and more last level cache than basically anythi

Yep selling is way more risky. Ebay might be the most safe (refund wise) marketplace for buyers… I have more trouble with amazon.

Yes, it’s extremely rare to be stuck with a broken/wrong/missing item as a buyer on eBay. Selling is quite risky in some ways because eBay will nearly always side with a buyer. Every missing or broken thing I have purchased has be

Standard speculative decoding without relaxed acceptance has no accuracy impact as far as I understand things. If you always run the verification; you always have the true target model output.

I’m not sure any system prevents RDMA from ruining your day :( Back in grad school I remember we did something fairly simple but clearly illegal and wedged the machine so bad the out of band management also went down!

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb ; yes it’s basically a fusion bomb with a different casing but also can be tuned to put a good deal of that energy into very high energy radiation vs. thermal radi

Same on the laplace transforms. I was kinda mad we had learned any other way. It was a lot easier than whatever we were doing before mathematically! I wonder, how much control theory is there in CPU?

More of turn of phrase than a statement of belief on where sheriffs work I’d say. Calling in a vague wild west vibe.

I think aphantastic people would be able to but using an inner monologue/internal text? Or even just the feeling and concentration on that feeling? Tangentially trying to imagine not being able to visualize mental images is really hard

This paper's claim holds - for 4 layer models. Models improve on out of context examples dramatically at larger scales.
