When it comes to actually storing the numerical weights that power an LLM's underlying neural network, most modern AI models rely on the precision of 16- or 32-bit floating point numbers. But that level of precision can come at the cost of large memory footprints (in the hundreds of gigabytes for the largest models) and significant processing resources needed for the complex matrix multiplication used when responding to prompts. Now, researchers at Microsoft's General Artificial Intelligence gr

“I thought, ‘That’s interesting—we need heat,’” Goodman says of Bathhouse. Mining facilities typically use fans or water to cool their computers. And pools of water, of course, are a prominent feature of the spa. It takes six miners, each roughly the size of an Xbox One console, to maintain a hot tub at 104 °F. At Bathhouse’s Williamsburg location, miners hum away quietly inside two large tanks, tucked in a storage closet among liquor bottles and teas. To keep them cool and quiet, the units are

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority With a commendable balance of fitness features and everyday smarts, Fitbit’s smartwatches used to be regular fixtures on our best lists. Ever since Google took the reins, I’ve witnessed a slow unraveling. It didn’t take long for once-promising wearables to start feeling deliberately held back, and the reasoning is obvious. The Pixel Watch is the brand’s sole smartwatch focus. The recent removal of Google Assistant from Fitbit’s alternative lineups is just the

We're not saying you deserved that gator bite, but... When it comes to gator bites, it turns out we’re the problem (it’s us). Recent research has found that the vast majority of violent alligator incidents in the U.S. are provoked by “risky human behaviors.” Scientists at the University of Florida and Centre College in Kentucky conducted the study, which analyzed recorded human bites from American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) dating back to the 18th century.

Thank you, Bing Copilot (ChatGPT), for giving me another “thing I just learned” to blog about. In the early days of “K&R C”, things were quite a bit different. C was not nearly as portable as it is today.

According to the C standard, and “int” is “at least 16 bits.” On my Radio Shack Color Computer, and in
