slinger··on Making AMD GPUs competitive for LLM inference
Through pcie using GPU P2P with a supported AMD chipset (epyc processor) so they can talk to each other or going through your CPU and RAM. I think the latter is what people using nvidia RTX 4090s do because P2P is disabled and NVlink is unsupported
slinger··on JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
I think you're right but if you need treeshaking, some sorting of pack (minification of variable names, etc) or jsx you would still need a build step. I don't know if treeshaking and pack are that relevant for most people tho
slinger··on Help choose the syntax for CSS Nesting
> Everyone wishes CSS nesting could use the same kind of simple syntax that Sass does. That’s impossible, however, because of the way browser parsing engines work.

I wish browser vendors could work around this limitation and stick to Sass syntax. IMHO all of those options seems strange and make it difficult to read.

slinger··on Finding Profitable Startup Ideas
Also if it's so easy, why these kind of posts frequently appears on the front page of HN? How to find a good idea worth pursuing seems to be a common question among aspiring intrepreneurs
slinger··on Finding Profitable Startup Ideas
> At any given time, there are dozens of industries operating within new and underserved markets that are experiencing rapid growth

IMO finding a market that is rapid growing is the most difficult part. It seems that I can never find a good idea worth pursuing.

slinger··on With latency as low as 25ms, SpaceX to launch broadband satellites in 2019
> I don't think that it can be used to transmit information at all

What if the "no-cloning theorem"[0] wasn't actually right? That would enable doing a bunch of copies of the same particle state, making it possible to predict the probability distribution of each particle. That way it would be possible to send information doing measurements[1] rather than forcing a particle state.

Sad.. Let's hope for breakthroughs on quantum entanglement research then

slinger··on Should a Programmer Learn to Design?
"It suggests that the quest for knowledge includes failure, and that just because one person may know less than others they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they already know. In many cases multiple people may not know but are too afraid to ask the "stupid question"; the one who asks the question may in fact be doing a service to those around them" [0]

There's no such thing as a stupid question
