What about the B60, with the 24GB VRAM? Also, do these support SR-IOV, as in handing slices of the GPU to virtual machines?

Google is probably even more afraid of ChatGPT replacing it. So giving the user what they want is likely their way to try to hang on. IMO a LLM is just a superior technology to a search engine in that it can understand vague questions, coll

But what's actually happening? There seems to be a lack of technical information. And why does the SSD allow this to happen? A SSD has its own onboard computer, it's not just allowing the OS to do whatever it wants. Obviously the

I believe the low maximum lifetimes are becoming a thing because revocation failed. CRLs become gigantic and impractical at the sizes of the modern internet, and OCSP has privacy issues. And there's the issue of applications never chec

But that's an implementation issue. Do you really want to say, work on a project where somebody renamed "if" to "wenn" because they thought writing code in German would be neat? If you want to make a special use too

Too much change isn't good though. There's value in consistent basics. I've seen people doing things like: #define BEGIN { #define END } because they liked Pascal, and that way lies madness.

To the best of my knowledge, it never really worked. Yes, it probably works in the lab, in carefully picked conditions, but in the wild I've yet to see any effect whatsoever. Nobody in the AI communities seems to be complaining about i

How is it going to hurt those? If it's an actual botnet, then it's hijacked computers belonging to other people, who are the ones paying the power bills. The attacker doesn't care that each computer takes a long time to calcu

So on one hand, yes, that's a vast improvement over SysV. On the other hand, no sir, I still don't like it. It looks very much like Bash. I'm not very fond of Bash to start with and it might not even be actual Bash? Can'

systemd tries to avoid scripts as much as possible. /etc/init.d/whatever were all shell scripts, and they all had to implement all the features themselves. So `/etc/init.d/foo restart` wasn't guaranteed to

IMO, binary compatibility on Linux isn't really solvable. There's just a thousand tiny projects that make up the Linux base that aren't on the same page, and that's not about to change. I do think packaging can be improv

That's because systemd knew who the target users of it were: people making distributions, and professional users with little desire to be woken up at 3 AM to troubleshoot a stuck PID file. Most of the complainers weren't really re

Worrying about that stuff is just a waste of time. Not because of what you said, but because it's all ultimately pointless. Unless you believe this will kill AI, all it does is to create a bunch of data brokers. Once fees are paid, dat

Setun apparently used two bits to represent a ternary value, wasting the 4th state.

I've definitely seen it in production code, but it was a good deal after 1994. By then it was a commonly known technique, so it was a pattern a Perl dev would be expected to recognize.

Some translators may add notes on the bottom of the page for things like that. It's going to greatly vary of course. Some will try to culturally adapt things. Maybe convert to dollars, maybe translate to "a day's wages",

PCIe 5 is 32 GT/s (~4GB/s) per lane, and of course double of that of PCIe 4. It's a crazy rate that can't be trivial to achieve.

True, but I think micro 4/3 still can be a good deal smaller. It's just that a fair amount of the cameras didn't make good use of that.

by dale_glass 1y ago
There's always micro four thirds. I think it's a bit of an underappreciated format, really. It can have really compact cameras, and also they tend to have quite a lot of fancy tech in them.

That's not a particularly great test, because every camera will be great outside in the sunlight, and those photos are some of the least technically challenging ones you can take. Even a phone from 15 years ago won't be that bad a

It depends on when you started, LVM changed a fair amount over time and the earlier versions had less functionality. So a lot of people would do like I did -- make an initial decision and then stick with it for two decades, way past of it m
