Their statement about sharing an Ultra for an office LLM server is a little misleading. The tokens/second would be too slow for any business use case. You'd want to buy multiple GPUs for that purpose, probably Nvidia, despite th

Agreed. The AI news cycle is constant and promises the eventual end to human usefulness. I feel like one day we'll be but pets to the machines (like those in Iain M. Banks' culture novels), but real life won't be a communist

There are some posts on https://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=330329 , however the images are not visible. I tried registering, but it says "bot registration detected".

Enjoying the "DOS" font of the code examples. The wikipedia page on the Pentium has multiple references to an Intel publication called "Solutions", May/June 1993. It would be interesting to see that, but can't

I assumed Chrome is memory hungry due to the JavaScript VM, but there's probably many optimisations that trade memory for speed. (Unlike this one).

Curious what kind of application you used wasm and Tinygo for? Obviously not the kind of app that an LLM would usually spit out a bunch of react for.

Great comment. China is still building Coal and Gas power too, I wonder how they compare.

> you can run data centres on grid electricity The reason they're not doing that is because grid providers can't grow their supply fast enough to support new AI data centres.

No headphone jack! Why Dell? The processor is a Intel Core 5 320 Wildcat lake, with 4 "low power efficient cores" and 2 non-hyperthreaded Performance-cores. It's variant of Panther Lake which has some models with Arc GPUs: h

Pleasant to hear about the Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch [1], haven't heard about that concept for a long time - maybe a decade!. The reason I like Dapper [2] is that it makes you use your own sql. Edit "lets" -> &

If it's about the size of a Maverick as the article suggests, that's not small at all.

I've been eagerly awaiting their 2nd gen HC2, which uses multiple chips to host a "mid sized reasoning" [1] model. Its due in summer according to the article, I wonder if it will ever be released in that form now. [1] https

Just a note about the price of the M3 Ultra with 256GB RAM with 8TB disk, it's $16999. The 96GB model with 8TB ssd on apple.com costs $10299. So you're getting 2.6x the ram for 1.65x the price, which is an interesting comparison

I'm badly remembering, but this idea was in a Sean Williams novel, perhaps "Echoes of Earth", and maybe its actually units of distance, it's probably been used by other SF writers too.

Obviously that should be 10 hours a day, 10kiloseconds an hour. A hectosecond would be the equivalent of a minute. That would require different length of a second to match the Earth's rotation, so we'll have to give it an annoyi
