4B / 2.4T is 1/600 or 0.16%, almost a 3X dilution. A bit on the weak side for homeopathy, but still readily available for many ingredients :)

That's not distillation, that's model homeopathy.

The article is mistaken, all the lidded chips (discussed here) are also flip chip/C4. Just with a metal plate on top. That would be in contrast to the earlier lidded chips (like a 68k or i486) with ceramic packages, where the chip is m

No, that’s the die sawed out of a wafer. Those are wafer-thin, i.e. about 0.8mm. On some newer CPUs the wafer is ground down to improve thermals. In normal C4 packaging like here the active layer is sandwiched between the metal layers (whic

Non-US-centric legal topics are surprisingly often a blind spot in enwiki, this is one of them. In civil law the core principle for this is "nemo tenetur (se ipsum accusare)", but the reifications are wildly different in the juris

The US / common law jurisdictions typically only have very light self-incrimination protections. The 5th amendment in the US only protects against self-incriminating testimonial. That's it. In most other jurisdictions (i.e. civil

This is heroin for the eyes. Once the hit is over you want to take another one and if you don't it'll take ten minutes or so until the "real" world won't feel like a bleached sepia picture any more.

In terms of project trajectory this is also an interesting contrast. DuckDB is "SQLite, but for OLAP". DuckDB 1.0 was in 2024. DuckDB 2.0 (new API, new storage format, new ...) is in 2026. SQLite has been 3.x since 2004.

This is only true if the browser is connecting via HTTP/1.1, then you get the six connections per origin limit. Relevant for localhost:8000 though.

If that happens you can still buy hardware later with almost certainly more (tok/s)/$ and better capabilities to run newer models more efficiently (remember native MXFP4?). Right now basically every generation of accelerator is ad

It's quite telling that the 8B Taalas chip was already reticle-sized on TSMC N6. I mean, we're talking about a process that does ~100 MTr/mm², ROM needs about one transistor per bit, but can probably be packed more densely th
