Nobody will throw rocks, I think most people are curious/suspicious about the big players and wants more hands-on since we suspect that this all will come down in cost soon enough.

The laws aren't 100% settled, the latest reveals of MS execs in the New York Times lawsuit (or was it the New Yorker?) that came up here the other day was quite damning. Right now, only that lawsuit seriously challanges big-AI, but _if

Reminded me of SNES Shadowrun, don't remember if my English skills were weak or what the cause of me misunderstanding it was but when you encountered the Jester in the game, you're supposed to shoot him until you get a chance for

10 days of 2048 GPU's. Back of the envelope.. 1024 bit keys with recordings of not too old data can probably be found (MS only deprecated them in 2024 even if they planned on it in 2013) How long would it take for NSA to crack them if

I'm reading your year old Reddit post and Typesafe's description, and while they probabably say that they can do what you do the main point is that it's different things really as far as I can tell? Laya seems to be focused o

Core solo/duo was the last in the P3 heritage (but that heritage itself traced all the way back to the Pentium Pro initially) via the 2 generations of Pentium-M (even if Core2 had parts they were 64bit so more of a major upgrade). Whoe

Don't all these free proxy services always fall prey to blacklists because scammers,etc abuse them until they're useless?

On what url were those? Or Cloudflare's TOS in general ?

Isn't that perhaps that there's some underlying code that's looking back at skills files,etc as a way to avoid context dilution or similar issues? (and the refreshing shows up)

1 FPU for 8 cores is wild, but then again they were selling webservers. Still, iirc FPU's were silicon heavy back in those days and it'd be interesting to know how far ahead the foundries Sun and Fujitsu were, maybe it was simply

PPC could have any number of merits, the 2 nail in the coffin imho is that the community/implementations seems to have held on to a big-endian tradition whilst the mass of users/developers firmly shifted to little-endian when Appl

Dunno, I think Risc-V's simplicity gave it the initial popularity rush rather than being from a certain institution (the institution perhaps gave it visibility, but it does have own merits and no idea if other archs from the time had t

I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff invented in Japan, but that's really beside the point. The industry is now mature enough that nobody really wants the headache of a new architecture at this point in time, Risc-V got a p

Sun invented SPARC, Fujitsu just happened to be the last producer since they built mainframes on it. Reading it seems like they plan to stop producing Sparc processors and machines in a near timeframe so that makes this announcement less su

Yeah, searched the page for common architectures (x86,arm and Sparc since it was Fujitsu) since it'd seem silly to use a totally novel architecture but didn't find anything until noticing SVE2.

Reading of JASM (TSMC/Sony subsidiary) it seems they're planning on producing at least 3nm chips there in their expansion plans.

I'm always wondering when "distillation" comes up how feasible it is, or if it's just BS. The Antrophic article mentions "16 million" conversations, GLM models are in the 700-300 billion parameter ranges and wh

Perhaps, cheapness is always an factor but I'm potentially reading it as the customers perhaps not wanting data to move outside of the country and with AWS only have one datacenter in said country produced this result.

Iirc the File System Access API should always originate File objects from an input picker so that the user selects the file to be opened and not give more access to apps than users allows?

I was literally thinking of building something similar this summer, one requirement I had however was that it should be runnable/shareable over the web (it's web-tech after all). My use case was storing a family tree with data&#x2

Peeked a bit more at the C++ 11 stuff, it seems very Boehm specific and yes quite uesless (I doubt the C++/CLI people ever considered the stuff in the standard). Having written a bunch of more or less complete GC based runtimes, the bo

People complain, but most of the actually used changes are in things that continually used where I find painpoints. Not 100% on board with the collection expression changes (I found fluent Linq chains usually more readable), but they'r

Generally fairly painless in recent years, you need to divide the .NET timeline into original timeline ( .NET 1.0 -> Framework 4.8 ) and "core" lineage/timeline. The Core (smaller, but also properly crossplatform) project

V8 has a C++ GC because if you have shared C++ <-> JS object graphs you either need extra machinery to find cycles in individual code-paths (very error prone) or let C++ data live in JS objects anyhow (initial V8 interop way). Writing

Automatic trace definetly yes, however since they also removed GC support from the standard it's quite useless (exact object tracing is useless if you cannot accurately scan the stack). Also co-routines with it's under the hood ma

I think it's a good thing to separate requirements/problems/etc. 1: Java has an horrendeous amount of unnecessary garbage due to their erasing generic design (until Valhalla ever arrives), there was some old blog post that ch

The supreme irony that they're now trying to peg distillation as illegal.
