100% this would never be practical, more wondering if that technically, it’s possible. Which it seems to be, thanks for the reference!

It's probably worth it for university though. Back in the day working as a Student Employee for the CSE helpdesk, we ordered overnight replacements for so many laptops and servers an it was super slick and automated, replacement parts showed up and we swapped them in. Very little downtime.

Generating matter somehow via E/c^2=m?

(I don't think you can do this but I'm not a physicist...)

Meanwhile on linux, do I use netplan or NetworkManager or Systemd, maybe /etc/network/interfaces?

On the other hand, the lack of broad HW support means that my FreeBSD server burned 2x more power at low to mid usage levels than the same HW running Proxmox.

Amazing!!! It’s really fun to see an SGI system + a modern LLM.

Interesting, that article says llama.c not llama.cpp. I actually got llama.cpp going on a G4 awhile back, I guess I should write that up.

Edit - I just can’t read, original article was llama.c

Gotta push my powerpc llama.cpp fork now for sure!

Oh someone else is as silly as I am? I hacked this together a few months ago as well! I guess I should have written it up.

I’ve been getting llama.cpp going on various weird, old systems as I can and qwen3.c where llama.cpp has no hope. So far, I’ve tried various sparc generations (IIi, IIIi, Fujitsu M10, and an Oracle M7), a C8900 PA-RISC, some riscv boards, an Alpha 21264, POWER 9, and many X86 and ARM systems of course.

They did! There are many transmeta powered thin clients for example.

You could, but it probably makes more sense to do focus stacking in that case

Nope not shipped/processed yet even. It was listed as in stock with a realistic number though!

Funny to wakeup and see this on the front page - I literally just bought a pair last night for work (and play) somewhat on a whim, after comparing the available models. This one was available the soonest & cheapest, CDW is giving 100 off even, so 2900 pre tax.

I believe you mean GB/s?

Same!!! I do every so often connect it to update it if a newer firmware is actually worth it… The extra upside to not accepting the terms is that none of the samsung bloatware apps even start - the TV runs much faster than just with the wifi disconnected.

It’s not uncommon to eat nettles in the PNW! I knew people who would fold the leaves a specific way to break the stingers off so you could eat the leaves raw even.

I would assume it denatures the chemicals the sting delivers

Well only in the UK, if you have the -banned in the UK- ADP on as far as people know it’s not compromised

Not the .IA files from old Sinar digital backs! Those are based on DOOM PWADs (lol). But otherwise mostly yes this is true for nearly every other format as far as I am aware.

True - I have also made this mistake. 'too many open files' warnings across different VMs, just from one VM listing that dir!

I really hate how often modern UIs forgot that sometimes a folder might have _literally Cthulhu_ (A.K.A 4 billion 1kb text files) in it and will absolutely fall apart - looking at you cursor.

A lot less in 2003 than 2025?

Does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypress_PSoC Count? I’ve kinda wanted to try one out but have 0 use case…

Right, but decode compexity doesn't matter because of the giant BTB and such. At least that's what I understand.

All the various bits that get tacked on for doing prefetch and branch prediction all are fairly large too, given the amount of random caching, which often is what people account for when measuring decode power usage I think. That’s going to be the case in any arch besides something like a DSP without any kind of dynamic dispatch.

With a signed kernel and secure boot it should in principle be similiar to Windows 11? But with DMA based hacks on the rise I'm not sure it matters either way.

Which amusingly, also serves as a stable API for Windows now too.

How so? I also find randomness profound but not sure what you mean but not belonging in the materialized world. Particle decay/Radiation is a pretty random process I believe?

I have this issue intermittently just when walking around, at sea level! I can make them start screaming just by holding them even - The Airpods 2 do not have the same issue.

I did not realize xorshift no longer as favored! Permuted Congruential Generators seems very cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permuted_congruential_generato...

I have had similar experience, with ZFS zstd dropped IOPs and throughput by 2-4x compared to lz4! On a 64 core Milan server chip…

Makes sense, given that allegedly Windows NT is very much next gen OpenVMS... https://www.itprotoday.com/server-virtualization/windows-nt-...
