These techniques are used by DeepSeek, and work well with the commodity (NVIDIA) GPU's they use. Google designs their entire AI stack from the custom silicon up. So they have different optimization approaches. (Though Gemma does use MTP)
It's been reported Iran is deploying IR missles along the common ingress and egress paths the U.S. has been using for the past month. So target acquisition could be MK I eyeball
I really want them to create a mascot image for the wildgaussian project that is a T-Rex holding two NErF blasters.
Misc info on weapon sound pressure.
The Carl Gustav 8.4cm recoilless rifle now be procured by the Marines has a big back-blast through the typical venturi used by these kinds of weapons. In training, (Sweden at least) they are limited to the number of rounds they can fire. I do not know if this for merely hearing loss, or if there are concussive effects.
Also, while "small arms" do not typically have concussive effects, I have stood behind a.50 Barrett rifle discharge and there was a noticable shock wave in the air. I didn't feel it in my head, but my intestines were not happy. If you were in the front hemisphere of the muzzle blast it would be far worse.
Muzzle brakes on rifles usually make the blast wave propagate more to the side. A high caliber rifle with a muzzle brake could easily hit 160db. Maybe a .50 cal could go higher. So now you are even punishing your friends, not just folks downrange.
Really good article. Interesting to see how even Google is scrambling to keep TPU architectures up to date enough to be relevant for the latest model types.
I made a wood plate VESA adapter recently. I used a paper template for the hole spaceing, and a nail to mark the holes so the drill bit didn't lose centering when starting the holes. To make the template, I taped a piece of paper over the VESA plate and rubbed the side of a pencil lightly over paper on top of the holes. Leaves nice circular marks where the holes are.
Yeah, closing the Manix2 is harder than the PM2. Grip strength and practice are all I can recommend. I grip the handle with all my fingers (not covering the slot) with the butt/pommel nestled in the the palm. This gives you the leverage to reach forward with thumb and index finger to pull rearwards on the locking nubs. Then you can whip your wrist to get the blade to seat, or just reach forward with the thumb to pull it in.
edit: when you've got the nubs pulled back, you have to give it a little shake shift the blade a little.
If you need to cut things even a few times a week, I'd recommend trying a knife with a pocket clip and one-handed opening. Being able to have the knife ready in 2 seconds without having to put down what you're holding is both useful and gratifying. Spyderco's thumb-hole system works very well for one handed opening and the grip ergonomics on the Manix2 and Paramilitary2 are great. If those are too large for your tastes, the Spyderco Native is a good choice (while being harder to close one-handed)
