Both works pretty well

On: Bamba: An open-source LLM that crosses a transformer with an SSM

[_davide_]

When I read the title 'IBM crossed a transformer with an SSM and got ‘Bamba’' I laughed so hard I woke up my kid

On: Jetbrains actively deleting negative reviews for AI plugin

[_davide_]

They recently released a huge bump of their AI package, they probably wanted to differentiate between the older and newer version...still they could have renamed the plugin, or at very least, mark older comments as "for an older version"

On: Ask HN: What are your most regretted tech purchases?

I actually pushed a fix for the soundcard upstream back in kernel 5.13, it had been working great. And yeah, don't expect a Wacom level pen, it doesn't come with tilt. I never trust/tried sleep on Linux(could corrupt the FS), but everything is working great on my side.

Anyone surprised that Autodesk is citing blender in a non-negative light?

[pavlov → _davide_]

It’s like Microsoft embracing Linux. They’ll come around to it slowly, and in five years there will be an Autodesk-branded Blender.

On: AI PCs Aren't Good at AI: The CPU Beats the NPU

[_davide_]

The RTX 4080 should be capable of ~40 TFLOPS, yet they only report 2,160 billion operations per second. Shouldn't this be enough to reconsider the benchmark? They probably made some serious error in measuring FLOPS. Regarding the fact that CPU beats NPU is possible but they should benchmark many matrix multiplications without any application synchronization in order to have a decent comparison.

[Grimblewald → _davide_]

That isnt the half of it. A quick skim of the documentation shows that the cpu inference wasnt done in a comparable way either.

On: Sellafield ordered to pay nearly £400k over cybersecurity failings

[_davide_]

I really like the trend of making software companies liable for security incidents. Way too often they get away without any penalty.

On: Autossh – automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels

May I suggest a tool built for application level portals instead?

One binary, easy to use, no ssh getting stuck! (yep, I work at Ockam :)
