We should still have some public monuments even with the risk of them being vandalized.

Earnestly: LLM hosting companies allow easy exchange of money for relatively nuanced language processing. Great power for filtering text anywhere you have the need.

Thank you, I learned a few things!

I just put Anubis in front of my self-hosted forge this morning because AmazonBot had helped itself to 750 GiB (!) of traffic to my public repos this month!

At least, it claimed to be AmazonBot…

Parent's article says

It’s <= a Radeon 7600 GPU (28 CUs RDNA3 vs 32), so I’m not sure I’d have advertised it as a 4k60 machine. Then again I’m not a marketer so what do I know. 4k60 is a flexible target with FSR I suppose.

What coordinate in the space is furthest from any named color? It looks like there are some relatively large voids in the blue/purple boundary area but it’s hard to say.

I think I’d buy something with Strix Halo or Strix Point if there was official ROCm support. As of 6.4.1 from earlier this month there’s still not, as I understand it. I’d be delighted to be corrected on this matter.

The article goes on to say what the author thinks is bad about this:

> We’re not raising emotionally intelligent kids. We’re raising kids to navigate human unpredictability as if it’s a design flaw. Because when you grow up with a machine that always gets you, messy human behavior feels broken. We’re not preparing kids to handle people.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with escaping into fantasy in the right time and place, but young kids (and even well-adjusted adults) can have problems self-moderating and letting fantasy substitute for engaging with reality.

I compiled it for Ampere and counted 6834 actual F32 operations in the SASS after optimizations. I only counted FFMA, FADD, FMUL, FMNMX, and MUFU.RSQ after eyeballing the SASS code, so there might even be more. It's possible the FMNMX doesn't actually take a FLOP since you can do f32 max as an integer operation, and perhaps MUFU.RSQ doesn't either, but even if you only count FFMA, FADD, and FMUL there are still 3685 ops.

  cuobjdump -sass prospero | grep -E 'FFMA|FADD|FMUL|FMNMX|MUFU\.RSQ' | wc -l

I basically have an even simpler version of something like this for my own personal use too. I found it pretty easy to write in Go and my area of expertise is decidedly not web frontend/backend. I’d recommend it as a fun little project if you’re looking for something to do.

For mine, I paste in a video or playlist URL and it downloads the video and creates a lower resolution transcoded version suitable for streaming to my phone. It also extracts an audio-only version in case that’s more appropriate.
