You are right. It's just that multithreading before free-threading was too broken and too slow to the point that very few people use them for high-traffic production things. And people decided to write it like NodeJS to further handwav

And threads are just 100x better than stackless coroutines, period. Especially when we have actual threads with UMCG.

Wikipedia listed a FAIR alumni as cofounder for this "Moonshot AI". Make it funnier probably.

Yes. And those random Internet chatter almost certainly doesn't know what they are talking about at all. First, nobody is training on H20s, it's absurd. Then their logic was, because of high inference demand of DeepSeek models the

Contrary to common belief, it's fine to say negative things about the government in this case, as long as you are not Chinese. They may argue with you (or laugh at you for some even weirder reasons) and you both may have an unpleasant

Apple pushes a narrative that their devices are secure (not private, but secure). And my less tech-savvy friends sincerely believe that it's due to it being a walled garden, with curated software only. Apple made no attempt clarifyin

What source do you want? I have a few friends who work for them and they all live in either Shanghai (most) or Beijing. And I've never seen anyone who claimed they are based in Singapore or anywhere else before. Does this work?

Pretty sure it's C++. inb4 someone yells Rust. No, your `.unwrap()` happily panics in Rust too.

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, that's pretty frustrating. Now I'm curious why grpc, webrtc and some other Chromium repos were set up like this. Google projects which started in google3 and later exported as an open source pro

Dunno why you got downvoted, but I've also tried to let Claude translate a bunch of BUILD files to equivalent CMakeLists.txt. It worked. The resulting CMakeLists.txt looks super terrible, but so is 95% of CMakeLists.txt in this world,

IIUC, GrapheneOS cares about being forensics-proof very much. And for Android phone forensics without consent, almost 0% of work are done after the boot chain ends. So it's all about firmware. Non-Pixel devices usually require you to j

An (arbitrarily) quantized model is a totally different model, compared to the original.

I don't work for OAI so obviously I can't say for them. But we don't do this. We don't make hobbyist mistakes of randomly YOLO trying various "quantization" methods that only happen after all training and claim

This does not support memory ballooning yet. But they have documented custom kernel support, so, goodbye OrbStack.

All system programming languages mentioned by GP share the same set of debuggers and profilers, though. It's not very language specific.

I think the correct benchmark is `len()`. Give me your prompts or your output, whichever is shorter.

The point here is not who first added the feature to Linux kernel. The point is Android cared about security, built a CFI implementation, started shipping it back in 2018, while Linux had other priorities and didn't have it until 2021.
