And the change in failure rate and technical advances are a de-facto change in actual depreciation vs. accounting depreciation.

Electricity gets converted to heat which has to be removed through the cooling system. Performance per Watt is the key metric for data centers full of GPUs.

Kernel option nohz_full in grub config. Also disable hardware SMT as a kernel option in grub config. Then the cores can clock down way more often and L1 data cache size doubles. XFCE and X11 tripled my laptop battery life vs. whatever Wayl

Wow. GitHub gaining the same reputation as DNS ("it's always DNS"), printers, OSI layer 8, and PEBKAC is actually a bit of an achievement. Hat tip to Microsoft.

Look at flag --standalone. At least for html output pandoc seems to be able to handle something that feels like partial pandoc input in practice and produce html output that behaves like a snippet. Pandoc AST - format called "native&q

I saw a presentation about this in 2022. Someone found a way to get "something like" a tri-diagonal matrix that was equivalent to the LLM they were studying in 2022. Apologies for being informal and hand-wavey. Been a long time a

Not even cross-domain. (Nor cross-co-domain.) Trigonometric polynomials are also polynomials. And linear spaces are all "the same". That is what the definition is for . Even the transpose-mapping is linear.

Computers are very good at repeating a known "recipe". They can add numbers billions of time per second. Yes, billions with a bee. The hard part is coming up with a recipe that solves your problem and that the machine can ru
