  • Sure, I was doing genome compression for tree comparison in the late 90s for in memory analysis and the speed up was very significant. The idea of a universal specification format and a universal decoder is IMO bloody brilliant, hell with a bit of training I’d be unsurprised if you could point a LLM at a format and get 90+% of the way there with the specification for most simple-ish formats, and probably have a manual crack at simple relational databases. Potentially you could also switch out huffman for encryption for efficient zero-knowledge proofs as well.






  • It’s PCIe 4.0 :(

    Boo! Silly me thinking DDR5 implied PCIe5, what a shame.

    Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.
