Distributed large language model (LLM) inference frameworks connect isolated consumer-grade devices for large-scale model inference, substantially reducing hardware constraints. However, recent studies show that intermediate embeddings transmitted among participants can leak private prompts. As LLMs evolve into multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), this risk extends beyond text: image prompts contain rich visual and semantic information, making their interme... Read more ›
Rust’s SIMD abstractions were not as safe as I’d like. Until now. Read more ›
There's a lot of talk about the shortcomings of LLMs. They don't actually reason. They're expensive, especially when running in a loop. They're quite slow at doing things. There's a narrow category of use cases that LLMs excel at, one of which is "sifting through the noise". The noise is everything we have to process Read more ›
Five years after releasing the Amiga 1000, Commodore was about to launch the Amiga 3000, their first real high-end Amiga. With a 68030 processor, on-board SCSI and a slightly updated graphics chipset, all in a sleek desktop case, the Amiga was truly ready for the era of professional 32-bit computing. But Moore’s law wasn’t the only thing thad had been pressuring Commodore since the release of the Amiga 1000: The desktop metaphor had matured even further, and the competition had been hard at w...

In my recent series ANSI art and webcomics, I debunked a false assertion that began in a history book and propagated across the web. Now it’s time to solve the mystery of an old ANSI art screen that I helped propagate across the web 20 years ago. Allow me to explain — but first, let’s […] Read more ›
