Define reality.
lib-dev··on Why are there so many colourful houses in Bristol?
Ah now that you mention it, that does sound right! I forgot that part of the story.

Hahaha! :D
lib-dev··on M2 Ultra can run 128 streams of Llama 2 7B in parallel
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1#Memory

> The M1 uses a 128-bit LPDDR4X SDRAM in a unified memory configuration shared by all the components of the processor.

I assume that includes the NPU, media engine, etc.

How?
lib-dev··on Data Processing benchmark featuring Rust, Go, Swift, Zig, Julia etc.
Ah interesting. I see it now. Thanks for the reply.
lib-dev··on Why are there so many colourful houses in Bristol?
In St. John's NFLD, many houses around the downtown are painted like that as well. I love the look.

Apparently, they would use boat paint because: A) they had a lot of it and B) it holds up well to the elements.

Only if "penalties and interest" is less than ~2% annually.

How?
lib-dev··on Why is there a "Tech, Media, Telecom" sector?
When the term FAANG was coined, those 5 companies were paying engineers around double what they could ask for anywhere else. I believe that's when software engineers started grouping them together. It became a goal for many young engineers to join because of the fantastic salaries/benefits.

Things have changed since then but the point remains, FAANG generally means "large company that pays above market for software developers."

lib-dev··on Richard Stallman reveals he has cancer in the GNU 40 Hacker Meeting talk [video]
If you don't like the idea, you don't have to do it. I mean you're making games. There's not much money in that to begin with.

Someone should. I've noticed this phenomenon as well.

I know how you might make money. You build a game. Maybe its fun and ripe for mods like minecraft. Open source it under GPL. Build a community of hackers/gamers who want to learn and collaborate. Have an awesome collection of mods for your game. Once you build a name for yourself, take donations or release a new game or talk at conferences.
lib-dev··on I'm all-in on server-side SQLite (2022)
Yeah it seems to make a lot of sense in ecomm. Product search and filtering on tables in the 1000s rather than the millions.
lib-dev··on I'm fed up with it, so I'm writing a browser
People interested in building browsers should look into WebKit. You can use that for HTML/CSS/JS rendering and save a lot of time/effort.
lib-dev··on Ask HN: 6 months later. How is Bard doing?
The stock market I’m guessing.
lib-dev··on Snoop unto them as they snoop unto you

lib-dev··on Snoop unto them as they snoop unto you

lib-dev··on PgBouncer is useful, important, and fraught with peril
If you require 500 instances of your app to scale, how do you get away with just a single DB instance?
lib-dev··on Downloading a video should be “fair use” as recording a song from the radio
Thank you for the script. Very helpful.
lib-dev··on Tech companies keep falling for the forever fallacy
Don't you reach a point of diminishing returns even with that?
lib-dev··on JPMorgan Chase and Co tracks employees to dystopian extents
Travels a good one. Also, it's nice to be able to use personal devices for work stuff. Say you want to read a doc on your iPad or respond to an email on your phone. I totally understand the security perspective though.
lib-dev··on EPFL cancels Stallman's lecture citing “the situation regarding” his persona
Get some sleep. This is utter nonsense.

> some of them even quite severe

I doubt as severe as what Epstein did.

lib-dev··on I want to talk about WebGPU
> It really seemed like DirectX (and the "X Box" standalone console it spawned)

Did the name "XBox" come from the fact that in ran DirectX? Sort of short for DirectXBox?
