  I mean, it’s still going to have the pants beaten off it by WebM or AVIF. GIF was just never intended to be a video format. I have a hard time thinking of something where it’s really competitive. Maybe if you had a recorded lossless video of a low-palette video game, like, NES era or earlier. I’d still think thst APNG or MNG would probably outperform it.

  However, such efforts are technically flawed because the only reliable method for identifying VPN protocol signatures is deep packet inspection at the network level, which the EPRS paper doesn’t mention. I mean, you can tunnel whatever over whatever. You can tunnel a VPN over anything else that’s encrypted, so unless you also want to ban SSH and HTTPS connections and suchlike (well, okay, for UDP-based VPNs, you’d probably prefer something UDP-based, but I think that the point stands), you’r...

  I were on the hunt for a software forge with public hosting and I was worried about policies changing down the line, I’d probably take a look at GNU Savannah. That’s not especially blingy and it’s restricted to GPL-compatible stuff, but I have a pretty solid level of trust for the FSF.

  Thanks for the opt-out link.

  Neural net computation has predictable access patterns, so instead of using the thing as a random access memory with latency incurred by waiting for the bit you want to get around to you, I expect that you you can load the memory appropriately such that you always have the appropriate bit showing up at the time you need it. I’d guess that it probably needs something like the ability to buffer a small amount of data to get and keep multiple coils in synch due to thermal expansion. The Hacker’s...

  Creating workable consumer-grade alternatives I think that this is intended not to replace DIMMs in PCs, but to replace HBM for AI use. If you’re doing neural net computation, you have very predictable access patterns, so you can store your edge weights such that the desired data is showing up at just the right time.

  cross-posted from: beehaw.org/post/24313827 Seriously, what the fuck is going on with fabs right now? Micron has found a way to add new DRAM manufacturing capacity in a hurry by acquiring a chipmaking campus from Taiwanese outfit Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC). The two companies announced the deal last weekend. Micron’s version of events says it’s signed a letter of intent to acquire Powerchip’s entire P5 site in Tongluo, Taiwan, for total cash consideration of...

  I think that it’s interesting to look back at calls that were wrong to try to help improve future ones. Maybe it was a tech company that you thought wouldn’t make it and did well or vice versa. Maybe a technology you thought had promise and didn’t pan out. Maybe a project that you thought would become the future but didn’t or one that you thought was going to be the next big thing and went under. Four from me: My first experience with the World Wide Web was on an rather unstable versio...
