0 sats \ 0 replies \ @zuspotirko 21 Dec \ on: Backing Up Spotify tech

Another super interesting topic being killed by the hn repost bot.

What makes this interesting is Annas Archive already has a very low number of backup seeders for its books.

A lot of people like the project, very few people actually like to help.

Now they're drawing in the attention from a much stronger enemy.

11 sats \ 2 replies \ @zuspotirko OP 20 Dec \ parent \ on: Apple did what NVIDIA wouldn't. AI

It is explained in the first 2 minutes. That's not too much to ask for imo.

Background:

An architecture that uses something called "shared memory" makes that the normal system RAM and the GPU VRAM are the same.

This has the effect that prosumer machines, which have always had a lot of ram, have now a lot of vram available too. This has the happy accident that you can surprisingly large ai models on these computers.

What's new:

Now (MacOS 26.2) Macs can enable RDMA over Thunderbolt 5. This makes the data transfer between multiple of these computers (cluster) much faster. With software such as e.g. https://github.com/exo-explore/exo making this a ridiculous setup.

Nothing nefarious was going on with pizzagate.

A few people on 4chan were in on a joke and many gullible sheeple (like yourself) fell for it.

Link inside the text is the source for a quote. It's not a link-post.

Why is it distributed via the Treasury Department? That's a weird setup, isn't it?

This is reminiscent of late roman republic when Julius Caesar donated 4 months worth of wages to every roman citizen in 44 BC. I know it's cliché for dudebro guys to comapre everything to the fall of the roman republic but this really is history rhyming itself, isn't it.

I deeply dislike the authoritarian chinese state but...

This is obviously a good thing. Quality does not come from old traditions or rarity alone but from the merits of the product.

I cannot wait for China pumping out Pétrus level quality at 2-3 digit prices.
