StreamDiffusion is a pipeline-level solution for real-time interactive generation. It offers several key features, including streamlined data processing through efficient batch operations, an improved guidance mechanism that minimizes computational redundancy, GPU utilization efficiency through advanced filtering techniques, efficient management of input and output operations, optimization of caching strategies for accelerated processing, and various tools for […]
I personally believe that learning to fly and being a good pilot are separate questions. Anyone can learn how to fly, but not everyone can be a good pilot. Being a good pilot requires more than just operating a flying machine and following procedures; it requires a certain aptitude, attitude, intelligence, and education. A good […]
In 2006, the author found himself driving through Utah after a painful breakup, listening to a book on tape by a prominent linguist. The linguist discussed the metaphorical association of argument and war, prompting the author to question what would happen if argument was viewed as a kind of dance instead of a battle. As […]
In this post, the author introduces eBPF networking techniques and their applications in Linux network development. The author highlights the flexibility and unique features of Linux networking compared to traditional network hardware. They also explain the concept of a veth, which is a virtual wire represented as two network interfaces. The author plans to write […]
Edsger Dijkstra famously criticized the programming language BASIC, stating that it was almost impossible to teach good programming to students who had prior exposure to BASIC. He believed that BASIC lacked structured programming principles and simplicity, which hindered the development of strong programming skills. However, it’s important to note that Dijkstra’s statement was made in […]
Archaeologists in Rome have made an incredible discovery during a five-year excavation on Palatine Hill. They uncovered a well-preserved banquet room from the first or second century BC, complete with a large and brightly colored wall mosaic. The artwork, estimated to be 2,300 years old, depicts scenes of vines, lotus leaves, tridents, trumpets, helmets, and […]

The authors of this web content have examined a large number of randomized clinical trials and found that the majority of trials have much lower statistical power than what is commonly assumed. This means that “statistically significant” results often overestimate treatment effects, while “nonsignificant” results may actually correspond to important effects. To address this issue, […]
In response to a question about building an efficient heat exchanger, the author provides some options for DIY heat recovery ventilators (HRV). They mention that most HRVs use a cross-flow cell with a 90-degree angle and have an efficiency of 60-70%. However, there are also experiments with a 180-degree cross-flow that showed an increase in […]
