badmonster··on Third party cookies must be removed
third-party cookies have done more harm than good, and it's time to fully remove them from the web platform.

how is scheduling conflict resolution handled under the hood — is it hard-coded logic or learned via prompting?
badmonster··on Mercury: Commercial-scale diffusion language model
1000+ tokens/sec on H100s, a 5–10x speedup over typical autoregressive models — and without needing exotic hardware like Groq or Cerebras - impressive
