Amazon Route 53 is $0.40 per million DNS queries - which would terrify me if I used it, considering a typical 10Gbit server connection hosted at a unscrupulous ASN with no egress IP filtering is capable of sending a…
> I feel like IPv6 is overengineered In what metrics? IPv6 is more simple to implement than IPv4. In Linux 7.1.1 IPv4 is 84kLOC, IPv6 is 59kLOC.
I can think of a few reasons: There wasn't any such features for x86 when the patch was created, other than AES-NI. Many hardware platforms that have TPM, have it connected via a low-bandwidth LPC bus which would have…
There was a patch called Tresor that did this, but I don't think it was updated for a long time. You have to store the encryption key in CPU registers and ensure it's not saved to RAM during task switching or power…

You're right that the ECC validation is very robust, but that only validates one small part - that the drive is reading what it has previously written, not that the data was correct when it came in to the drive,…
Because I would have expected for game development that it would be rare for majority of the large assets (art, textures, 3d meshes, video, sound, music) to change multiple times per day, so - to me - sounds like would…
I play games but I suppose I don't download a 100GB game frequently enough for it to matter to myself.
Please can you enlighten the ignorant that are also gamers? :)
Is that 80-100GB of unique data multiple times per day? Is it encrypted with a different key every time? Sounds very interesting.
One side-effect, is that the separate .mmproj file (Multi-Modal Projection encoder) is no longer needed, when using the model with llama.cpp etc.
+1 this. Example: Using Mistral TTS voice cloning appears to be not possible via the "providers" pass-through object in the OpenRouter API because some parameters are always forwarded which conflict with the provider's…
The latest Raspberry Pi 5 has one 32-bit channel (2x 16-bit subchannels) of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM giving 17.1GB/s of bandwidth, 52x less than this GPU. Never mind lacking the CUDA and Tensor cores, so the FP16 performance…
The AMD MI250X GPUs are also interesting - 128GB of HBM2E at 3TB/s, sometimes you see them second-hand for under $1k, the catch obviously is that it needs an OAM socket. Never seen an easy way to hook them up to a…

The problem is AVX-512 was disabled in later Intel Alder Lake CPUs, and later generation Intel desktop CPUs, so very few Intel desktop CPUs have AVX-512 now. Ironic that AMD has better support/performance for an ISA…
I loved hearing this comment in my mind :)
I was also thinking along the same lines. Interesting, but I'm not sure in which aspect it is an achievement, considering the loop isn't a regex. Meanwhile, 1K ZX Chess takes fewer bytes of memory than the first four…
Even with O_DIRECT and aligned blocks, I still don't understand how the storage engine can return a "successful commit" to the client without a sync at some point, because a sync (IIRC) is the only way to guarantee an…
The eigenvalue distribution looks somewhat similar to Benford's Law - isn't that expected for a human-curated corpus?
SUB has higher latency than XOR on some Intel CPUs: latency (L) and throughput (T) measurements from the InstLatx64 project (https://github.com/InstLatx64/InstLatx64) : | GenuineIntel | ArrowLake_08_LC | SUB r64, r64 |…
