I wonder - could this be used for multi-tier MoE? Eg. active + most used in VRAM, often used in RAM and less used in NVMe?

I can imagine a couple scenarios in which a high-quality, large model would be much preferred over lower latency models, primarily when you need the quality.

Why not use containers (eg. Podman) with secrets management?

Sometimes you may need to deal with odd proprietary processors with limited and flawed knowledge about them.

For example, in the 37c3 talk "Breaking "DRM" in Polish trains" by the folks from Dragon Sector (I highly recommend watching it), they needed to reverse-engineer Tricore binaries, however they found the Ghidra implementation had bugs.

As for the PLCs, the IEC 61131-3 functional block diagrams transpile to C code which then compiles to Tricore binaries using an obscure GCC fork. Not saying that anyone would want to write Rust code for PLCs, but this is not uncommon in the world of embedded.

If I had to wager a guess, bootc might get more actual use now that it's supported in RHEL 9.6 and 10 as "image mode". It's an exciting piece of technology, especially from the perspective of a platform engineer.

Also, bootc is a basis for the Universal Blue family of distros, especially Bazzite, which is very popular with gamers.

Feels like a candidate for the Ig Nobel prize - and this is high praise!

Holy hell, this is such a depressing, dehumanized, out-of-touch article—especially regarding the fascination with AI in the field of, admit it or not, art. The article even makes mistakes in the most basic factual areas, such as calling light novels "visual novels." It's deeply saddening.

For a more positive outlook on the animation industry, check out "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!"—an incredibly creative love letter to the joy and passion of creating art through the lens of animation.

While YMMV, some smaller companies and manufacturers offer boards based on ARM or RISC-V cores. Consider checking out the MNT Reform - likely one of the closest computers that while a bit impractical, fills the openness criteria.

Any power tuning tips?

The article doesn't seem to mention AWS, really. I also feel like the primary issue is the lack of communication and support, even for a large corporate partner.

Seems like they're moving to bare-metal, which has an obvious benefit of being able to tell your on-call engineer to fix the issue or die trying.

Sending patches on mailing lists? Also TIL that patch (the UNIX program) was also created by Larry Wall.

Relevance?

SerenityOS is such an amazing project. "Oh, this thing would take a large team several years to build? Let's build it anyway!" The backstory behind the project is extremely admirable, too.

Check out his C64 demo "A Mind Is Born", where he fits a "procedurally-generating" song with visuals in barely 256(!!!) bytes.

This is not it, but the plot is somewhat similar to Makoto Shinkai's movie "Your Name."

Original paper describing Shamir's Secret Sharing, (1979).

Bundling in major distros? (Say, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE(?)) GTK being open-source and quickly adopted by several popular projects? Being initially under the GNU Project? Probably a lot of factors adding together.

KDE is pretty great, though.

Technically, according to Top500, they're not the fastest anymore.

The #1 right now is held by Frontier over at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with Rmax 1.102 EFlop/s.

That doesn't mean that it's not an extremely capable system, though. (And Fugaku's performance seems not that well reflected in the HPL benchmark.)

Checking Texas's CPA system, it seems like the company is (formally) active. The domain is registered at GoDaddy and it points to an IP in DigitalOcean's space.

If I had to assume, they probably still have some limited sales, support and consulting (ex. schools with teachers used to old software? companies with unusual development environments?).

While looking for Mix Software, Inc., though, I found their official(?) YouTube channel with the introductions for their C [0] and C++ [1] courses uploaded 8 years ago. They definitely have that old 90's VHS feeling to them, complete with music, early 3D animations and everything.

It would seem that the MIX C compiler for CP/M 80 got preserved at some point, too! [2] I'd need to look into it, but this looks promising.

Not too surprised - Angular seems more "enterprise-y", and I have a feeling Who's Hiring mostly attracts startups. (well, YC is a VC that primarily does seed funding, after all, so there's not much surprise that it attracts startups and people interested in startups)

Technically speaking you could already rent Mac M1 Minis. Really hyped about proper ARM servers based on Ampere, though!

The very last joke is a mutation of a classic Radio Yerevan joke and I'm surprised it's not included in this article. Paraphrasing:

"Radio Yerevan was asked: "Is it true that they're giving out cars at the Red Square?" Radio Yerevan answered: "In principle, yes. Only they're not cars, but bikes. And not at the Red Square, but at the Varshavsky station. And they're not giving them out, they're stealing them.""

Saw a lot of DigitalOcean ones too.

Probably mostly focused towards running on Graviton et al.

Something somewhat similar is Blik in Poland. Free and instant transactions: user to user, online, ATM, ground terminals. Primarily based on short-term one-time codes generated in your banking app.

In 2021 alone, it had 21.5M active users and it facilitated 758M transactions. Polish National Bank (Polish counterpart of the Fed) reported that in 2019, online transactions using Blik have surpassed in volume online payments using credit cards.

Perhaps just using an embedded DB would be better in your case? Something like Berkeley DB. Alternatively, just Dockerize it, although I assume it's too much upkeep.

While not as "Redis-y", there are some decent KV-ish managed databases out there:

- Firestore - Cloudflare Workers KV - DynamoDB - Bigtable

Somewhat amusing piece of trivia: the author of Cobol on Wheelchair is currently a Polish MP.

But that's the other way around!
