I am amused by this comment, because it shows a dramatically different type of thinking. I have probably have thought "I wish this was faster" for nearly everything I do on a computer :)

Neat that this thesis was written by a student of ralfj [1][2] (who has done a lot of work to drive forward formal definitions for rust). [1] https://research.ralfj.de/ [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/user?

Does anyone have a recommendation about where to host an internet-facing mail server? I've been running my own mail server on various VSPs (digital ocean and linode), but sending email is not quite as reliable as I'd like it to b

While I appreciate the desire to show off your creation, a "Show NH" that requires people to sign up for a $20/month service isn't all that great from my perspective.

You're right that some slowdown is expected, but for me personally I hadn't realized how bad this particular FS was, nor had I expected how much it impacted build times

Yes, I think that's right, but I don't have any data to compare rust to other compilers.

Good hint, thank you. I'm trying this out and I do see an improvement in performance. The ~23 second build now takes about ~14 seconds

One thing I've observed is that every smallish projects (~10k LoC) can take a while to build if you're working on slow network filesystems. When using local disks, a 10k LoC project takes ~5 seconds to build When using network FS,

From my own personal experience, I definitely struggle sometimes to understand if my state is Send or not. So the line you quoted from the article resonates with me.

I've never run one of these models locally, but their README has some pretty easy to follow instructions, so I tried it out... > RuntimeError: Found no NVIDIA driver on your system. It's true that I don't have an NVIDIA GP

Do you feel confident in your ability to detect when the LLM is wrong? For me personally, I don't have the confidence to do this , which is why I feel like I need to verify everything, even in the 5% case.

I'm sure others will feel differently (and I'm very eager to hear from others with different views), but for me there's not that much difference in usefulness between a model that's wrong 5% of the time and one that&#x27

I sometimes use NVidia's GeForce Now streaming platform. I like it because it hooks into my Steam library. Sometimes when I launch a game, it goes through an installation process on Steam. It's almost instant (there's no a

It's neat that Huggingface lets you test-drive these models right in your browser. This particular model says it needs 640GB of memory just for inference. Assuming Huggingface also has other large models loaded, and wants to also make

The big news here seems to be that iXsystems (the company behind FreeNAS/TrueNAS) is sponsoring this work now. This PR supersedes ones that was opened back in 2021 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/122

It's also a bit misleading because it only quotes DeepMind CEO as saying "I think that memo was real" and "And I haven’t read that specific memo in detail, but I disagree with the conclusions from that"
