I was under the impression that when you're streaming the weights from disk because the full model won't fit in memory, that it is solely reading from the SSD, not writing, so it wouldn't be causing wear on your SSD.
Yes, they're different units. Just like how 1 month is less than 99 days and 1 pound is less than 99 ounces. That isn't a digital vs analog thing.
The technology I was thinking of was digital screens. Analog clocks made sense when the best you could do was attach some arrows to some gears on a rotating shaft. Now we can individually toggle lights in a grid…
Nah, I use rust so every mile implements OperatingExpense.
Every mile of road is an operating expense. Looking at a report from NY state: > Based on aggregate highway spending reported in 2009, the average statewide cost of maintaining a lane mile was $13,841. source (pdf):…

I self-host my own code forge (a gitea instance) and I've mirrored a couple of large repositories on it. The traffic from AI crawlers was bringing my entire server to its knees. As soon as I put the large repos behind a…

You worded that as if you speak for Microsoft, but your account is 2 days old and this is your first comment, which makes me suspect you are a karma-farming bot.
I actually do, and I still notice it every time. Some asshole across the street rides a motorcycle and every day he revs his motorcycle which sets off the alarm of some other asshole's van.
I've noticed that the various tools report different amounts of free memory. I appreciate finally having an explanation for why.
Many of them, yes. It's up to the individual publisher whether they want to release their game DRM-free on steam. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_g... If you want to guarantee that you can…

NYC taxis drive an average of 180 miles per shift[0] so they'd need to triple the range or have some sort of system where they can swap their depleted taxi for a freshly-charged one mid-shift. [0]…
Oh absolutely, I'm with you there. LED strips are so unnecessary. I'd much rather the money go towards something functional.
I did some math, supposedly the complete install of the latest Call of Duty game is a 200GB download[0]. At 1gbps we're talking 26 minutes of downloading. At 2.5gbps we're talking 10 minutes of downloading. I'm honestly…
Nope, I hadn't heard of that. Neat. I see two problems though: 1. I can see this being effective against larger landlord that will have many units available every year, ensuring that adequate testing can be performed.…

What alternative solution to housing-related racism would you suggest?
