I'm thinking about using this and have a few questions:

    1. How are hardlinks and duplicate files (same content, different paths) handled?
    2. Does deduplication work on a block/chunk level for partially matching files, or does it only look at whole files?
    3. Is there any specific integration or handling for Copy-on-Write (CoW)?
Thank you!

Which provider do you use, if you don't mind sharing? I tried Digital Ocean (looking for Zero retention and no training), but their context limits are rather small for DeepSeek inference.

Still fun to watch models trying their best :). I think "money spent" metric in this test is becoming the most interesting to watch. It is like looking at RT cost of "Hello, world!"...

Thank you. Reminds me my struggle with a new cellphone about 6 or so years ago (don't remember the brand :(). Random reboots when I was using Maps (a very scary thing when you are driving in a new country), corrupted memory card and lost images, random freezing. Call quality was ok, pictures were so-so, but it is just like you said - things around main function - that's what makes or breaks the experience. On paper the phone looked really good, but the experience as whole was awful. Got back from the trip, returned phone back to Costco...

Don't mind me asking, but where did you find $5k RTX 6000? Even 48GB model (previous gen) shows minimum at 7k, and 96GB one (Blackwell) is ~10k on Amazon...

If you sort that table by "output token price", it gets really terrifying - going from 4 cents up to $600 =8-O

Probably because '<=' is very easily read as "less or equal"? (unless you are joking, of course)

I understand that the project is in his early stages, and documentation (README) is very much WIP. So, couple questions

    1. "SSD backed" - on-the-fly 100% time (like KVRocks), or requires same "save" like Redis does?
    2. (if it is like kvrocks) Do you have any perf numbers for DB sizes that are, say, 10x of RAM size?

It works, but the best in me I cannot explain fully first 3 symbols. /*?sr/bin/env finds /usr by expanding *? to a first matching directory. But why not just /*usr/ instead?

Backing up Spotify 7 months ago

Spotify just (last week or 2 weeks ago) introduced lossless compression (FLAC) and it sounds amazing.

Last decades? wipes the tear You surely forgot /s at end, I hope. The evil incarnation what is called "Samsung fridge" that I have in my kitchen required repairman's attention just 3 months after the purchase. And then every 3 months after. And children sacrifices, sorry - steam baths, for the ice maker every month or so.

Samsung appliances - never again.

PS. Repairman told me that Samsung have fixed already one of the problems my fridge has by the time he looked at it, kind of hidden recall and fix. Fridge's version (yes, they have versions) have advanced like 7 iterations already from the time I bought it. That means there were at least 7 serious design/manufacturing problems that they had to fix.

Always Invite Anna 10 months ago

Thank you, a very heartwarming story indeed.

I think you just have coined a new saying - "Always invite Anna" sounds intriguing, and yet at the same time very descriptive.
