The parent asked two questions: 1. What is the performance of this implementation of an assembly server? The comment you replied to answered it: It's likely crap. Hand written assembly is almost always worse than compiler. 2. How muc

It happens essentially everywhere. If you think it doesn't happen at your place of work, it's likely just because you haven't been included in the gossip circle.

Because no plugin is affected. This isn't a supply chain attack. The headline is deliberately obtuse. Here's the breakdown: 1. Plugins are stored inside your vault. 2. If you open a vault from an untrusted source, it could contain

What do you propose? Even if they configure node's lowest level file APIs to block any access to paths outside the vault, plugins can still execute arbitrary shell commands who will have access to the entire OS. And before you say it&#

For a while Amazon stopped giving detail about the purchased items in their emails, to prevent Google from doing exactly that. A year or two ago they returned to full detail. I've always wondered if it was customer pressure or a backro

American car manufacturers have extremely small market shares outside N.A., and many (all?) of them required multiple government bailouts over the past few decades. If you think that keeping China is good for the consumer, you'll have

Try to look outside your bubble. Millions of people still have monthly quotas on their internet plan, and 4GB can be a big chunk of it (possibly over all of it, in some cases). Google should have asked.

The model is loaded once and can be used for multiple sessions, and even parallel requests. llama.cpp uses a unified KV cache that is shared between requests (be they happening in parallel or not). As new requests come in, they'll evic

In the first three questions asked I could see reasonable people argue either way, with legitimate papers backing their "side", so I'm happy to at least see an even split. For the autism question I agree with you, people simp

I'm sure you have ways to entirely purge a crate. And the situation will arise that you need to do so. In which case all the old code will, indeed, break. Vendoring is the only solution to this but it's really discouraged in rus

What you are describing happens all the time. Usually the toolchain provider will continue updating a list of known issues for some time after EOL. Beyond that you have third parties that do it for decades, if the platform is big enough. Th

Do you have any reasons to believe that granite is more immune to the effects of quantization than other tiny models? Otherwise it seems odd to judge a tiny model true capabilities by using its 4bit quant.

An idle GPU consumes almost nothing, a loaded (server-class) GPU can consume over 2kW. Admittedly a single request isn't a full load, but claiming that a request makes no difference vs idle is misguided, in my opinion.

I agree with you a LLM is perfectly capable of explaining its actions. However it cannot do so after the fact. If there's a reasoning trace it could extract a justification from it. But if there isn't, or if the reasoning trace ma
