The hardware is pretty expensive, but you can either get used Alveo's on eBay in under two grand, or any other supported custom builds with less bandwidth for half that. But 100G is worth it, honestly.

It all comes down to memory and fabric bandwidth. For example, the state of the art developer -friendly (PCIe 5.0) FPGA platform is Alveo V80 which rocks four 200G NIC's. Basically, Alveo currently occupies this niche where it's t

Yeah, because making good chips (TPU) and compilers (XLA) is notoriously easy, right?

IPv6 doesn't make it "harder," as they would typically ban whole /48 prefixes.

You're not supposed to admit it, but I never cared for Dijkstra's arguments on the matter. The same goes for his GOTO tirade, although that has been distorted by time somewhat. Pascal is using 1-ord, Fortran, R, Mathematica. If an

Honestly, I'm not familiar with it. I had only played with RxInfer, if only to try the so-called "message-passing" paradigm. My grasp on probability is really lacking, in fact I picked up prediction markets and Julia to get b

Honestly, I feel like Julia might as well beat Mojo or sommat to the punch, sooner or later. It has some facilities and supporting infrastructure for a lot of scientific and data-handling tasks surrounding ML, if not for compiling and dispa

The whole blogpost could be condensed to a single paragraph pointing out the analogy, and that's it.

I'm glad somebody arranged all these niche websites I had never heard about, in a list. Will be fun to visit them all sometime.

Why are you downvoted? VC's mostly give money to rich kids from prestigious schools. VC's basically hate the poor and want nothing to do with them.

Not necessarily. You can run TKey in qemu :-) etc. The hardware aspect is what makes it easy to use, with WebUSB and all. The derivation algorithm is key. And it takes program binary as parameter to Blake2 hash function.

I'm simply pointing out that web standards allow for secure end-to-end communication, and more, in fact they happen to allow arbitrary cryptographic constructions—as long as the program itself never changes.

Thanks for replying, and your power story does make more sense all things considering. I'm no stranger to homelabbing, in fact just now I'm running both IBM POWER9 system (really power-hungry) as well as AMD 8004, both watercooled

You get occasional accounts of 3090 home-superscalers whereas they would put up eight, ten, fourteen cards. I normally attribute this to obsessive-compulsive behaviour. What kind of motherboard you ended up using and what's the bi-dire

I'm so glad Mistral never sold out. We're really lucky to have them in the EU at the time when we're so focused on mil-tech etc.

They said the same thing about 40G but hey, I've loved it for bridging the gap between my two (10G and 100G, respectively) Mikrotik switches. You can have a dozen Gigabit ports, as well as up to four true 10G devices on your aggregatio

Enums are great if you're into json/jsonb custom logic and aggregates. It's quite cool to use the constraint system to impose checks on various JSON fields, especially if you're doing extension development, or packaging

I hear this claim on swap all the time, and honestly it doesn't sound convincing. Maybe ten or twenty years ago, but today? CAS latency for DIMM has been going UP, and so is NVMe bandwidth. Depending on memory access patterns, and whet

I bought 384 GB of DDR5-4800 RDIMM a few months back for a Zen 4c system with lots of I/O like dual 25G NIC's and ten MCIO x8 ports... So far it has been the best value for money compared to any memory before it. The bandwidth is
