Reflective of the time in which it was written, but also prescient...

ARPANET just dropped.

And it quietly solved the biggest problem in computing:

computers being alone.

Most devs are still moving data between machines like it’s the Bronze Age.

The top 0.01% figured out something insane:

what if computers could… talk to each other?

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

Not that any of that was necessary for such a small model. The “ancient” 3090 is still a beast. The M5 is still efficient. If this were a 27B or maybe even a 9B model, it would be far more impressive.

[Sudo su @sudoingX]

read this carefully anon. @pupposandro wrote a single fused CUDA kernel for all 24 layers of Qwen 3.5-0.8B. one kernel launch. absolutely zero CPU round trips between layers. the result?

a $900 RTX 3090 from 2020 hit 411 tok/s. apple's M5 Max hit 229. the 3090 won on speed AND efficiency 1.55x faster than llama.cpp on the same hardware.

the gap between NVIDIA and Apple was never about silicon. it was software. generic frameworks waste cycles on kernel launch overhead, memory re fetches, thread synchronization. when you fuse everything into one dispatch the hardware shows what it actually has.

this is the beginning of something bigger. we already proved that a 27B dense model on a single 3090 one-shots what $70K enterprise hardware cannot. now imagine what happens when someone writes kernels optimized specifically for the 3090 and the models that run best on it. not generic inference. hardware specific, model specific fused from the kernel level up.

the 3090 is not a relic. it's an untapped research platform. and the people writing these kernels are proving it with data.

all open source and reproducible anon.

I’d like to point out that the number of FG made from beyond 60 yards in the NFL is small, less than 40. I think as of right now we are at 31? In history.

Mevis can do that. He has done it under immense pressure.

Brooooo

@AdrianneCurry @GavinNewsom So…like planting seeds of pure hatred towards people who don’t THINK like you?

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@AdrianneCurry @GavinNewsom “Ilk” literally means “type, kind, or group.” When someone says “you and your ilk,” they’re lumping the person they’re addressing together with a broader set of people they perceive as the same.

The phrase “you and your ilk” is loaded. It carries disdain and signals hostility.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@MerriamWebster TIL people are not using it as a synonym for ‘regardful’

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@BlisterPearl Unpresidented is exactly what we need.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@www_starcasm @astro_jaz What do you mean?

@magnusson_kyle @WWaveboy @chrisclxrk Underrated comment

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@JamesSurowiecki Even if you took the words at face value, I’m not making the math add up.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@JaeKim1089208 @dieworkwear He didn’t dispute that, did he? He just asked why you altered the photo by cranking the blue tones up to 11, making the extremely dark blue suites match the color of Trump’s in unaltered photos.

So, let’s me get this straight. The Atlantic released the so-called “war plans” and those “plans” include: No names. No targets. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods. And no classified information.

Those are some really shitty war plans.

This only proves one thing: Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or an “attack plan” (as he now calls it). Not even close.

As I type this, my team and I are traveling the INDOPACOM region, meeting w/ Commanders (the guys who make REAL “war plans”) and talking to troops.

We will continue to do our job, while the media does what it does best: peddle hoaxes.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@pixelfondue @minchoi This is what it thinks the constellations are.

@StephenLaw5392 @kylenabecker https://t.co/KkGTSAgm8A

Impossible. According to CDC data, the death rate for adults aged 35-44 in 2022 was 255.4 per 100,000 population, which had decreased 11.3% from 287.9 in 2021. And since the CDC is controlled by the deep state, naturally the opposite must be true.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@drsimonegold If there were an mRNA vaccine that made it impossible to ever have a heart attack again, these people would hate the shit out of it.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

So, our fearless Дурак-in-Chief has cracked the code—call every press conference a ‘special announcement’ and dodge accountability forever. Somewhere in Moscow, a certain someone must be beaming with pride.

[CocoB @Coco_B_7]

@ReallyAmerican1 Trump said that because the questions were to be about the Soccer they will host in 2026! It was a press conference for the special announcement!

Trump is the most transparent president ever. He answers questions but expects respect.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

This is objective correct. Demonstrably the most peaceful solution is to welcome invading armies with open arms and hand over your territory, resources, and citizens without that messy resistance business. Sovereignty is just an outdated concept anyway. Appeasement works better.

[floridanow1 @floridanow1]

@elonmusk Anyone that wants war is insane.

It destroys families, homes, culture, a way of life.

Political leaders sons/daughters need to be the first ones to be deployed for a planned combat.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

I too would like the internet to spoon-feed me so that I never have to open a textbook/app/YouTube video.

[Suffy 🦢 @drsuffy]

I want you guys to convince me, someone born after the Cold War, who was in elementary school for 9/11, why i should "Hate" Russia.

I don't care about Ukraine. Give me real tangible reasons to hate Russia in 2025. If you can't without pulling a "muh Cold War" then I suggest you go get some fresh propaganda from the Ukraine tards.

[Brian Murdock @kostaki]

@CynicalPublius Why TF would Russia stop if everything else you said is true? Ukraine can’t beat them and nobody is going to help, so why not just keep taking until they have it all? Even if they pause for now, they’ll just take the rest later because nobody stopped them in Crimea.
