Estrogen: A Trip Report

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-28 11:15:15

The following blog post discusses my personal experience of the phenomenology of feminising hormone therapy. It will also touch upon my own experience of gender dysphoria. I wish to be clear that I do not believe that someone should have to demonstrate that they experience gender dysphoria – however one might even define that – as a prerequisite for taking hormones. At smoothbrains.net, we hold as self-evident the right to put whatever one likes inside one’s body; and this of course includes hor

Compiling LLMs into a MegaKernel: A path to low-latency inference

news.ycombinator.com Zhihao Jia 2025-09-28 10:20:54

One of the most effective ways to reduce latency in LLM inference is to fuse all computation and communication into a single megakernel — also known as a persistent kernel. In this design, the system launches just one GPU kernel to execute the entire model — from layer-by-layer computation to inter-GPU communication — without interruption. This approach offers several key performance advantages: Eliminates kernel launch overhead, even in multi-GPU settings, by avoiding repeated kernel invocatio

We're half a decade into foldable phones, with plenty of devices from Samsung, Google and Motorola (as well as others from Oppo, Huawei and more) for consumers to choose between. Yet among big phone makers, only Apple still lacks one in its lineup.

Microsoft to lay off thousands in July, but don't worry, AI's getting $80 billion

In context: There's been plenty of talk about machines displacing human workers in the AI Age, mainly focusing on direct replacements – computers taking over tasks like design and programming. Meanwhile, spending on AI infrastructure soars as investment in human skills steadily declines. Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is preparing to lay off thousands of workers next month, with most of the cuts expected to hit the company's sales and customer service divisions.
