Maybe we can run more powerful models locally.

I thought the principal consequence of these KV cache optimisations was letting you run more simultaneous inferences on the same model with the same memory. It doesn’t let you store more model. In some sense that puts local LLM usage at a further disadvantage to inference done in a hyperscaler’s data center.

I’d guess that’s a reference to Ada 95.

Pretty much every other developed country has solved this problem without having to transact in digital lottery tickets.

Would any “real” mainframe software (not Linux on z) use Unix epoch dates though?

I’d have thought mainframe dates were mostly binary coded decimal in EBCDIC and already futureproofed during the y2k mania.
