Nothing to add, I was simply saying that it would be useful to have an FP8 toy website out there covering all of these formats.

Yes, all of them would be great.

Good stuff. Having fp8/fp4 would be great, too!

Been using this since my Galaxy S3 days and is currently installed on my Nothing 2A. The switch will be painful.

"C++ Modules have been greatly improved."

It would be nice to know what these great improvements actually are.

Surprised there's no mention of Redpanda here.

How would one go about doing this?

---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[x] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

I just love how responsive the editor is.

The biggest downside is that now I dread switching to overleaf after typst!

I started this journey a while back using Tanenbaum's MIC-1 during my Uni days with a another colleague. Still have it online if anyone is interested: https://github.com/elvircrn/mic-1.

elvircrn — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 18:44:06 +0000

I have a chrome extension that I made for myself which removes recommended videos based on:

* channel/video title * duration * keywords * channel size/video views

Then, I have a video queue where I add videos that I find interesting.

Ever since I started using it, I started getting almost exclusively videos that I enjoy consuming, since YouTube seems to quickly adapt to my clicking patterns.

Last week while looking into the Apple DMP exploit paper [1], I noticed that the researchers were inspired by this [2] anandtech article.

Y'all will be missed.

New comment by elvircrn in "The history of 'OK' (2023)"

elvircrn — Fri, 10 May 2024 00:03:48 +0000

During my elementary school days, we were told by our English teacher that the origin was related to death toll reporting after a battle (presumably involving the Brits or Americans). Therefore, "0 K" would indicate that no soldiers were killed - an OK outcome. This went on to live in my head rent-free until today.

Could someone knowledgeable of this topic give some info on the status of C++ modules as of this release? https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support would indicate that they are currently in an unfinished state. Why is that so?
