GPT-OSS-120B runs on just 8GB VRAM & 64GB+ system RAM

Here is the thing, the expert layers run amazing on CPU ( ~17T/s 25T/s on a 14900K) and you can force that with this new llama-cpp option: --cpu-moe . You can offload just the attention layers to GPU (requiring about 5 to 8GB of VRAM) for fast prefill. KV cache for the sequence Attention weights & activations Routing tables LayerNorms and other “non-expert” parameters No giant MLP weights are resident on the GPU, so memory use stays low. This yields an amazing snappy system for a 120B mod

This blog post is the second installment in our eBPF blog post series, following our blog post about eBPF selftests. As eBP F is more and more used in the industry, eBPF kernel developers give considerable attention to eBPF performance: some standard use cases like system monitoring involve hundreds of eBPF programs attached to events triggered at high frequencies. It is then paramount to keep eBPF programs execution overhead as low as possible. This blog post aims to shed some light on an inte

I tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupid

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-02 11:54:56

I tried coding with AI, I became lazy and stupid# Around April 2025, my boss at $dayjob insisted we try AI tools for coding. It wasn't toxic pressure or anything like "20% of your code needs to be AI", just a concern from him that we could miss on something. I understand why he asked that and I don't blame him. We are in difficult economic period even for software, and we have salaries to pay. If AI can increase productivity or our margins, it should be at least put on the table of negotiations

James Mardsen’s Happy to Be Cyclops Again for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

After The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine laid the groundwork for more Fox X-Men to return, Avengers: Doomsday is going all in by bringing back several non-Wolverine (or Professor X) characters from the original films. Among them is James Marsden, who played Cyclops in that initial trilogy and didn’t really get to do much in them. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actor recalled “20 years of listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?’ But I’m

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-02 00:30:04

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it. But without the light of a star, these systems, if they exist, would go largely overlooked by our telescopes, lost to

First-Ever Look at Exploding Molecules Reveals Their Quantum Secrets

In the quantum world, molecules are always on the move. And for the first time ever, scientists have directly captured these tiny quantum dances in action—and they did so by blowing them up real good. Even at absolute zero, individual particles constantly vibrate without a fixed position, a phenomenon referred to as zero-point motion. In a paper published August 7 in Science, researchers at European XFEL harnessed this behavior for the 2-iodopyridine molecule, which consists of 11 atoms. By bla
