AMD and Nvidia are engaged in a heated argument over the performance difference between the Instinct MI300X and H100 (Hopper) GPUs. AMD makes strong points comparing FP16 using vLLM, a popular choice, against FP8, which only works with TensorRT-LLM. Nvidia recently responded by accusing AMD of not using its optimizations when comparing the H100 with […]

Many commercial airline pilots choose to hide their mental health problems rather than risk their careers by disclosing them. This can lead to safety risks, as pilots who need help may continue flying while those who have sought help face a lengthy and expensive process to regain their medical fitness. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) […]
The FBI has been using its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 powers to conduct warrantless searches on US persons more than 280,000 times in 2020 and 2021, according to new disclosures. These searches have been described as “shocking abuses” by US Senator Ron Wyden. Some of the most concerning searches include over 23,000 […]
JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) is a valuable tool for observing the runtime characteristics of Java applications and identifying performance issues. One recent addition to JFR is support for native memory tracking (NMT), which provides detailed insight into the memory consumption of your application. Previously, accessing NMT required using the jcmd command line tool, but now […]
AMD has a history of competing with Nvidia in the GPU compute market. Their latest offering, CDNA 3, aims to close the gap with Nvidia’s GPUs. CDNA 3 features advanced packaging technology, including chiplet setup, which allows it to compete with Nvidia’s largest GPUs. It also includes Infinity Cache from the RDNA line to mitigate […]
FSearch is a fast file search utility that takes inspiration from the Everything Search Engine. Written in C and based on GTK3, it offers instant search results, advanced search syntax, wildcard and RegEx support, and customizable interface options. Users can also include or exclude specific folders to be indexed, as well as exclude certain files/folders […]
Python is not considered slow when it comes to dispatching bytecode, despite the slower core eval loop compared to a JIT. The major bottleneck is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), which forces serialization on parallel operations by extensions. Another issue is the expensive process of building PyObjects for blessed types like strings and dictionaries. One […]
Stable Diffusion is an advanced deep learning model that can generate realistic images and art based on text descriptions. ComfyUI is a web-based interface specifically designed for Stable Diffusion, offering customization options for your workflow. The best part? Our AI Image Generator is completely free to use, allowing you to turn your dreams into reality. […]
In the early Middle Ages, people used to rely on ordeals to determine guilt or innocence, believing that God would reveal the truth through these tests. However, this approach was eventually abandoned due to its lack of religious legitimacy. Instead, a high standard of proof was imposed, requiring either two eyewitnesses or a voluntary confession […]
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney’s GrapheneX-UTS Human-centric Artificial Intelligence Centre have made a groundbreaking breakthrough in mind reading. They have developed a new technology that can transform thoughts into words on a screen without the need for invasive technology such as brain implants or MRI machines. Participants in the study wore a cap […]
