What if you could deploy one ZFS binary on any Linux machine? With uZFS, you can run OpenZFS as a userland process, and export ZVOLs (block devices). By isolating OpenZFS from the kernel, it's easier to maintain, upgrade, and debug. Ping Huang will share this work at DevSummit

i remade tiny-tpu to support both inference and training! we successfully tested our architecture on the classic XOR problem. here's what i learned throughout the process:👇

But that’s exactly what VMware did. A small team, mostly from the DISCO paper, secretly iterated on a binary translation engine. Problematic x86 instructions were rewritten on the fly; shadow page tables controlled memory access, and ring compression handled privilege. The

The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book
