useful for small profiles, but it blows up on larger ones. hotspot handles multi-gigabytes recordings fine on the same hardware.

Is the modem always on or does it only get activated on an accident? If it's the former then cell towers log your location.

I can get gore and porn results on google image search, I just have to select SafeSearch: Off. Can't they do the same for AIs?

On the kernel side there's a boot parameter for all of them: mitigations=off Software that was compiled with additional fences may have to be recompiled to remove them. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest&#

That doesn't speed up uerspace<>kernel memcopy, it just reduces cache churn. Despite its name it still goes through the page cache, it just triggers writeback and drops the pages once that's done. For example when copying to

Ah yeah, getting good kernel<>userspace oneshot memcpy performance for large files is surprisingly hard. mmap has setup/teardown overhead that's significant for oneshot transfers, regular read/write calls suffer from pa

The NVMe on other instance types is quite throttled. E.g. on a G5.4xlarge instance EBS is limited to 593MB/s and 20000IOPS while instance-attached NVMe is limited to 512MB/s (read) at 125000IOPS, a fraction of IO what a workstatio

On linux there also is preadv2(..., RWF_NOWAIT) which can be used to do optimistic non-blocking read from the page cache. That might be useful for io_method = worker to shave off a bit of latency. Try reading on the main thread with NOWAIT

Many tasks are amenable to simulation training and synthetic data. Math proofs, virtual game environments, programming. And we haven't run out of all data. High-quality text data may be exhausted, but we have many many life-years worth

Even AWS itself does better than this, but only on some services. They send an encrypted error which you can then decrypt with admin permissions to get those details.

The depth maps and point clouds are useful in CGI to turn a 2D image into a 3D environment which can then be incorporated into a raytracing renderer. E.g. CAD-data based foreground object placed in a generated environment.

But from the tower onward it shouldn't be any different from fixed internet connections, except for the gatherings, I'll grant that one. So then (modern) mobile shouldn't be all that special.
