It's true that Linux does this, although my impression is that FreeBSD and Solaris have comparatively stable ABIs. I think they usually keep the kernel ABI stable between minor patches, and change it with major releases. I've neve

I haven't tracked OpenSolaris/illumos in a while, but it seems kind of bizarre that different "distros" of illumos would have different kernel ABIs . To me that's the definition of a different OS, in the way OpenBS

There is, called "GPT-NeoX", or its TPU-based predecessor GPT-Neo. However, even running inference on these models is much, much harder than Stable Diffusion -- the GPT-NeoX-20B weights for GPT-NeoX requires a minimum of two GPUs

Optional, though the language and standard library are kind of designed around it. So I'd say Nim can be used without the GC, but is optimized with the idea that you'll use the GC by default, with escape hatches for manual alloc

Not my expertise, but I assume this is (one of) the reasons why CPU packages have so many dedicated power delivery pins, like in https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RJC7aj7xUhLmvxVD.jpg

Requiring HTTPS is one thing, though it's a little disappointing it doesn't offer it at all, even something retro like SSL. I figure this is an unpopular opinion among the target audience, but I prefer keeping traffic SSL/TLS

I don't keep up with the specifics of Tesla's (or any other company, for that matter) "self-driving"/driving-assist features, and I do think the name is a pretty poor choice for the general public, but by analogy to

No, since WSL2 is based on the Windows hypervisor/emulator Hyper-V, not QEMU/KVM.

We've sort of been at this point for a long time, though, the abstraction bar is just being shifted up. Previously, the bar was at the firmware level, where you will never fully control the black boxes governing the security chips, DRM

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate the help. My only background with ML is playing with LSTMs and simple sequence-to-sequence models back before transformers, and the last few days I've been trying to deep dive as much as I

It's very convoluted, and I probably got some details wrong, but that's the gist of what GP was probably thinking about. Not sure what the Illumos guys ended up doing in response, either. My memory from browsing their mailing list

Not exactly, take a look at the list of supported platforms in the releases notes of TFA -- OpenZFS 2 as a unified codebase is currently only ported to Linux and FreeBSD. Illumos is still using the older ZFS code with fewer features. The wh

Huh, interesting, I had just ... assumed CLIP's tokenizer was character based, like GPT's was. At least, I think GPT's is character based? Is there any reason it couldn't be character based, besides the (presumably very

I don't think the underlying model is word based, but character based. You could download the caption data for LAION and grep that, but it's not strictly 1:1 with what SD was trained against.

The simple answer is that there is no clean cut list of artists that it "understands". The model has no explicitly programmed concept of artist or style -- just the CLIP based text encoding used to train the conditional autoencodi

I think GP meant to say (the extremely confusingly named) virtio-fs, as opposed to virtfs/9pvirtio. Virtio-fs is independent of 9P and has optional support for using shared memory to greatly increase performance, it also maps better to

At the risk of making some people feel old, to me (as a 25 y/old), 2001 feels very long ago, and conjures memories of cassettes and big CRTs. It's one of my few memories from that far back, actually. The television news, I remembe

Pretty much every (PC/console) Bethesda game since Morrowind has been a derivative of the Morrowind code. It'd be a little unfair to say it's the same game engine, since they've clearly added lots of wizzbang features
