They're asking what precision the model parameters were quantized/rounded to, look up "LLM quantization" to learn more. The old headline was something like "We served GLM5.2 on AMD MI355X at 2626 tok/s/nod

Being fraudulent doesn't make something less notable. It might even make something more notable, provided enough sources report on it.

Do people have good experiences with LMDB, in terms of reliability? I've never used it in production, but I've read through the code and design documents for a database implementation class. I remember some strange code (such as p

When the lobbyist in question heard "private server" they just jumped to saying "those are illegal". Perhaps she got confused between private servers offered as part of the game and reverse-engineered community servers?

why name your servers db-us-east-2 and web-de-stuttgart-3 when they could be called grindelwald and silkeborg?

10+ gigabit serial connections (Thunderbolt, USB 3.2/4 DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, etc) are limited to 1 or 2 meters on passive copper cables. You need optical for anything longer (or a hot, power-hungry transceiver, like for 10GBaseT e

It's a bit slice if you put it in a packed struct. I like them, they're nicer than C's bitfields: The order isn't implementation-defined, and the types remember their range rather than being converted to a power-of-two s

Different situations call for different responses. When someone steals a watch, we force them to give it back. Yet when someone steals a cake and eats it, we don't force them to puke it back up. If you pirate a movie, the court might v

For crates.io: They don't allow closed-source packages. But they're just the free community package index, you're not forced to use them. You can: - host a private index - host the proprietary binaries in a git repo and use a

Using crates.io is entirely optional, you can download a library's source code and specify the path to it in your cargo config file. (Which is not uncommon in production) For that matter, using cargo is optional, you can compile rust c

8 billion people running a 2000 watt AC continuously for 8 hours a day = 5 trillion watts of heat. (Only the electricity consumed by the AC is turned into new heat. The heat from inside the house would have moved outside anyway, at the same

Yes it is control flow, but IMO it's not hidden. It's true that you need to learn that * happens before + (which usually happens in school), but I don't see how that's any different from needing to learn that `and` short

From what I remember, it was specifically chosen (among other reasons) because of experience with the JVM, where it was difficult to verify bytecode type-safety due to unrestricted jumps and branches. So the choice was made to put the burde

Thank you, that's great to hear. I was worried it would be a long time before most runtimes could use WASIp3 if it required stack-switching.

Does the stackfull async implementation use the stack-switching proposal? I was under the impression that it's not implemented in most runtimes (very difficult to retrofit into existing implementations), and only available on x86_64 Li

Never understood this complaint about operator overloading. In any language, a function called `isEqual` could wipe your hard drive and replace your wallpaper with a photo of a penguin. Therefore, letting programmers pick the names of their

by hmry 4mo ago
Why have operators at all? x = x.add(step.mul(2)).mod(width) Or in C x = imod(iadd(x, imul(step, 2)), width) vs x = (x + 2*step) % width For me the answer is very simple: Operators make it easier to read the code which m

It's interesting how different it is from the N64, which was seemingly designed to produce perfectly correct pixels even though no player would own displays that could really show the difference. I guess that's what you get when y
