kcb··on AMD Strix Halo RDMA Cluster Setup Guide
No reason to use fiber on short runs like that. DAC cables are cheap and better in pretty much every way over short distances. You're probably thinking of RJ-45 NICs and SFP modules which are known to run pretty hot.

Nvidia's Nemotron 3 Super also shipped with MTP.

Google and Nvidia...
kcb··on DSpark: Speculative decoding accelerates LLM inference [pdf]
Yes, all the closed providers are probably doing this already. As well as open models like Gemma and Nemotron.
kcb··on IBM debuts sub-1 nanometer chip technology
The product here is the research and licensing the tech.
kcb··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
That's not it. They will keep the assets closed and under license. There will be no free version of the full game.

Not sure why we should encourage using open source as a vehicle to market and get free work building your fundamentals. Just to reap the profits yourself later.

kcb··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
It was. Not anymore though.
kcb··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
I think their plan is to make assets closed licensed. It's all pretty lame. Now any open source code contribution is packaged up and sold with someone else getting the check.
kcb··on Apple Foundation Models
It's Apple, so it's some revolutionary big brained play, and not just yet another llm sdk.
kcb··on RTX 5080 and RTX 3090 Setup: 80 Tok/s on Qwen 3.6 27B Q8

kcb··on Firefox Merges Support for Vulkan Video Decoding
I think Vulkan Video is just another api to access those hardware decoders. It's not going to bring support for codecs to hardware without the support.
kcb··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
The same chip that's been available in the DGX Spark for like 8 months now...why are we pretending like its the next big thing.

kcb··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
SRAM is still high bandwidth memory...it's literally the most space inefficient and expensive type of memory.
kcb··on Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler
Any system mandated by the government will have a backdoor to deanonymize users. Nothing would convince me otherwise.
kcb··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
The point is metric shit-tons of SRAM is still large amounts of expensive memory.
kcb··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
There's no magic bullet for inference on cheap accelerators. Any accelerator will still require large amounts of high bandwidth memory.
kcb··on Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX
Elon Musk has been failing any minute now since like what? 2015
kcb··on If America's so rich, how'd it get so sad?
This reads a lot like "the way I choose to live is the best and everyone else is sad." Anyone in a dense suburb is getting all the fresh food they want from a choice of 6 different grocery stores. And it's silly to complain about suburbs being crowded in comparison to cities.
kcb··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Nonsense, Apple has on package memory and the primary reason for that is overall packaging and layout not performance

In a few months Google will automatically deploy new software on our devices. This will be for our benefit and to help protect us.

If you still want to sideload dangerous unnaproved applications, first just ask Google for permission and then a day later they'll let you sideload applications to your device. I'm so grateful that they are allowing us to do this and protecting us.
