There are other tasks LLM(s) are far better suited for, which are also its downsides, and gawd so expensive and unrealistic to run yourself 🤦‍♂️ Do you know what one of these NVIDIA H100’s cost? 💲 That’s right! 🤣 > $50k USD 😱 And many of the models out there require 8 of these suckers 🤣 Each one consumes around ~400W of power each (not including the machine that houses them!)

MacSSL: a port of Mbed-TLS for the classic Mac OS 7/8/9
Yesterday we had SDL2 for the classic Mac OS, today we have modern SSL/TLS for the classic Mac OS. This is a C89/C90 port of MbedTLS for Mac System 7/8/9. It works, and compiles under Metrowerks Codewarrior Pro 4. This is a basic app that performs a GET request on whatever is in api.h, and prints the result out to the text box (with a lot of debug information, of course). The idea of this project was to build an ‘app’ of … ⌘ Read more

Prípad darovania obrazu Stĺpy života od Martina Jonáša srbskému prezidentovi Aleksandrovi Vučićovi, ku ktorému došlo počas prezidentovej návštevy Kovačice 8. marca 2025, má epilóg – dar bol vrátený späť do Kovačice.

Why fastDOOM is fast
How much faster is fastDOOM than regular Doom on a decked-out 486 from 1993? 30% faster without cutting any features! On a demanding map like doom2’s demo1, the gain is even higher, from 16.8 fps to 24.9 fps. That is 48% faster! I did not suspect that DOOM had left that much on the table. Obviously shipping within one year left little time to optimize. I had to understand how this magic trick happened. ↫ Fabien Sanglard What follows is an incredibly detailed exploration of why, exactly, fa … ⌘ Read more

Mathieu Pasquet: slixmpp v1.9.0
It has not been too long since 1.8.6 and here we are with 1.9.0, which is kind of a major release (following the well-known pridever numbering scheme).

Long story short, there are at least two major changes warranting the new number (and plenty of other things, read on!):

• switching the cython jid implementation for a rust one, which will be faster and more correct
  
• removing the xmpp.process() method (planned since the 1.8.0 release)

this script will fetch text at the url https://sour.is/superhax.txt and replaces the document content.
