For all LLM flaws, if it kills the whole Agile/SCRUM/whatever grift, it will have been worth it. The damage these guys have done to software industry at large is unfathomable.

I disabled the audio model (had to remove it, it was so buggy) and then started up with a text only model. Serving started without error. The system simply has no requests. The economics seem like a mirage anyway.

Huh, but that's not news? What is not explained is where the Starlinks for which funds were raised went, and to whom. There are other shady details that would bore HN audience who is not deeply educated into the layers of regime operat

Receive-only DVB dishes are very common (although technically illegal and occassionally subject to house raids and removal). They often try to jam the signal from time to time by inducing noise on the broadcast frequency (locally referred t

Well I already made the Ctrl+C decision. Yours may have been different, but I suppose only one of us installed it, and that one counts.

It appears they do receive funds from US government so while I cannot directly answer your hypothetical question, I imagine they would lose at least some of their fundings. The author of the IEEE article is receiving compensation as Executi

You'd think to bootstrap a marketplace you'd spend your own money to feed fake requests (or perhaps allow free chat so that they induce requests). Still, absolute zero is an unacceptable number. Had this running for more than an

People underestimate how efficient cost/token is for beefy GPUs if you are able to batch. Unlikely for one off consumer unit to be able to compete long term.

I installed this so you don't have to. It did feel a bit quirky and not super polished. Fails to download the image model. The audio/tts model fails to load. In 15 minutes of serving Gemma, I got precisely zero actual inference re

I think what you are suggesting is more practical today than before, since there are at least a few people who have some sort of access. The real catch is really the prep, or lack thereof. The anecdotes around me is they are hoping (perha

None of the people I know inside Iran actually use this Toosheh[1] thing. And I mean zero, nada, none. Not one. Most are unaware of its existence. This sounds something that sounded cool pre-Starlink era that received funds and favors from

Couldn't be more simplistic. Of course a three trillion dollar Google would behave differently than a 2008 Google with or without DoubleClick. Even today, I would argue an average sample of Googlers will likely think slightly different

The GNU-adjacent thing would be FSF, and I'd say many EFF supporters are antagonistic towards the FSF (and/or RMS) because of their "extremist" stances. I'd characterize EFF as "corporate Open Source" vs.

That does not seem to be the case for my M4 Mac mini in native "low-DPI" mode with a 4K display, so I think the problem only appears in HiDPI (7680x4320 framebuffer downscaled back to 3840x2160 only). The author seems to be confir

by tgma 7mo ago
This might be a dumb question: Is the author looking to run 4k display at HiDPI 8k framebuffer and then downscale? What's the advantage of doing so versus direct 4k low-DPI? Some sort of "free" antialiasing?

Your question hits directly at latency vs. throughput distinction. Depends on which you mean by "fast." Throughput-wise, the supercomputer is competitive because it has a lot of local RAM connected to lots of independent nodes, wh

Impressive, of course; but not quite that impressive. Only true if all you're running is matmul (supercomputer has general purpose CPUs so more flexible than M1 GPU) - also those flops are probably FP64 in supercomputer ratings and FP3
