Do you mean the glowglobe rather than an umbrella? The glowglobes were used for lighting.

Sounds like a massive waste of your time for NextDNS admins and a poor UX for end users. If your security relies on trusting old domains, then you need to rethink your security. Also, I bet it's just as easy for you to accidentally whitelist a bad actors as to blacklist a good one. What am I missing here?

You're missing the point. The effective tax rate of many billionaires is lower than ours. "Musk with a fortune of $244 billion, paid an average effective tax rate of 24% from 2018 to 2020". In other years it was as low as 3%[2].

I too found that interesting that Apple's Neural Engine doesn't work with local LLMs. Seems like Apple, AMD, and Intel are missing the AI boat by not properly supporting their NPUs in llama.cpp. Any thoughts on why this is?

Can speak for OS X, but I dual booted Win 7 with swap disabled on my first machine with a SSD. Windows would just kill the Chrome tab that was eating all my Ram and I'd move right along. Linux locks up and is totally unresponsive even if you manually trigger the OOM killer. Windows behavior is much, much better for desktop users.

Wow Rust 20%+ faster than gcc / C in k-nucleotide and fasta. Then again the Rust vs C++ makes me wonder if this benchmark is flawed. 4.4 vs 38 seconds for binary-trees. Somethings not right with some of those tests.

Edit: Looks like an C++ optimization issue in that specific task. Broken down by task, C is at the top followed by Rust.[1] Rust is at or near the top in every category. Very impressive.
