This is the inevitable consequence of the USA not paying it's debts in terms of the Budapest Memorandum anymore. Other countries know they cannot rely on non-military-action-binding treaty arrangements with the USA. And the only other

Indeed classic: talking about the form of my comment instead of the content it addresses: that many ISP are incomplete because of CGNAT and do not provide real internet access (ie, being able to receive connections to tcp ports). These inco

A slow-end DDR4 speed older generation Xeon system is unlikely to be used by Intel for this benchmark. It's far more likely they used an expensive DDR5 modern Xeon with as many memory channels as they could. Single user LLM inference i

MoE is pretty enabling after you've spent all the extra $$$$ to stuff your server CPU memory channels with ram so it's possible to run at all. But it's still spending a lot of money which makes this a lot less novel or intere

Yep. That's why the headline is incorrect. 380GB of the model on CPU system RAM and 32GB on some ARC GPUs. The ratio, 380/32, is obvious. Most of the processing is being done on the CPU. The GPU are little bit icing in this contex

No... this headline is incorrect. You can't do that. I think they've confused the performance of running one of the small distills to existing smaller models. Two Arc cards cannot fit a 4 bit k-quant of a 671b model. But a portabl

CGNAT providers are not ISPs. They're web service providers, WSP.

This paper seems to be saying that externally impressed ~40 Hz stimulation helps mitigate the pathology of diseased brains. But I don't think it's quite correct for the general review to call it "promoting brain health"

In addition to dropping X11 support Gtk 5 also will not have opengl support. This is likely to cause significant fragmentation of the linux desktop ecosystem.

One qualifier is that even if a connection counts as "broadband" many national ISP like Comcast (Xfinity) put data transfer limits and 50 GB is 5% of my monthly limit. And if I go over I have to pay $10/50GB in chunks. Not th

True. But in this case many UK localities are adopting these legal practices. It's new, but rising. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/oct/06/rise-of-plea-bar...

Microsoft and the other megacorps hate email. It's a wildly successful federated open protocol. They don't control it. They are all doing everything in their respective powers to turn email into a proprietary experience.

When you are being attacked by a government prosecutor these "up to"s matter very, very much. It allows them to force the acceptance of inappropriate settlements by waving the (very real) possibility of these "up to"s in

Um, your link does not support your implied claim. It is only illegal to actively transmit and interfere. None of the equipment is illegal to own. The entire idea that radio equipment would be intrinsically illegal to own is some sort of mi

The jammer prevents the car from hearing the transmitted un/locking signals while the jammer themselves collects and repeats it later.

So this is a change from the status quo where actually transmitting an interfering signal is illegal to one where having a device that might theoretically transmit an interfering signal is illegal? It sounds like ordering all pencils be mad

Exactly this. And this is a good thing. Small communities have good properties that just don't scale. And the people that want big communities generally want things that federated networkscan't offer (ie, no ability to be authorit

Comcast/Xfinity changed their system last year so that if you try to call and talk with voice to a support human you're sent into a loop that eventually hangs up on you. The only way to talk to a human now is to say you want to ca

Correct. I avoid rust because it is a language where it's pretty much infeasible to have a compiler from your system repositories unless it's a rolling distro. Having some random application require updates so often (like a browse
