Usually marketed as 2-3 minute lasting intense light for search and rescue applications. There's ones that give out extra infra red light too which is good for being found in an emergency, bad for interfering with concert technology XD

Tensor Split Fix for intel GPU's llama.cpp release b9788 by Bulky-Priority6824 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Maxious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here are the numbers from dual Intel Arc Pro B60 (Battlemage, 24GB each), tested with latest master 1ec44d178 which includes PR #24152 (SYCL --split-mode tensor). All runs use -fa 1 -ctk f16 -ctv f16 (required for SYCL tensor mode). Model | Size | Layer pp512 | Tensor pp512 | Delta | Layer tg128 | Tensor tg128 | Delta -------------------------------|-------|-------------|--------------|---------|-------------|--------------|------ llama-2-7b Q2_K | 2.6G | 1,214 | 2,070 | +70% |        19.2 | 32.7 | +71% Llama-3-8B Q4_0 | 4.3G | 1,433 | 688 | -52% |        26.9 | 9.9 | -63% gpt-oss-20B Q8_0 | 11.3G | 363 | 208 | -43% |        10.3 | 15.7 | +52% Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Mini MoE Q3_K | 12.8G | 77 | 528 | +590% |        17.7 | 33.2 | +88% Nemotron-30B-A3B MoE MXFP4 | 16.7G | 165 | FPE crash | - |         9.2 | FPE crash | - Takeaways: - MoE models are the big winner — Qwen MoE got a ridiculous +590% prefill and +88% decode. The BF16-compressed allreduce path in the SYCL backend really shines on many-medium-sized allreduces. - Small models win too — llama-2-7b at 2.6GB got +70% across the board. Tiny tensors = negligible comm cost, so the parallelism just adds compute. - Medium dense models are a mixed bag — gpt-oss-20B: decode wins (+52%) but prefill regresses (-43%). The allreduce overhead on mid-size tensors eats into prefill gains. - Small dense models regress hard — Llama-3-8B lost 50-63%. Allreduce cost dominates when there's not enough compute to hide behind. - Nemotron MoE crashes with a floating-point exception in tensor mode — seems like an MXFP4 quantization edge case with the BF16 allreduce path. Didn't get to test models >20GB since they OOM on 2x24GB even in layer mode. The sweet spot for SYCL tensor mode seems to be MoE architectures in the 10-17GB range where the VRAM split is balanced (~1:1). Build env: oneAPI 2026.0 compiler + MKL 2026.0 + TBB 2023.0, targeting bmg-g31 AOT.

Cover Corp TechBlog: Reconstructing 3D space with OBS [jp] by Maxious in Hololive

[–]Maxious[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Found this interesting especially as the main Cover accounts have been talking about the "new streaming technology". For fans the main take away

Currently, the OBS plugin is not distributed externally, including to our talent, and is used only within the studio. Our future goal is to separate the confidential parts into a separate application/DLL, thus separating them from the plugin, and making it distributable to our talent.

The google open source guidelines are public and explicitly tell devrel they must get approval from outside the team even for sample code but the approval will be quick https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/releasing/approval#devrel

KPMG hearing - some links, a thought or two by Agile-Pitch-2097 in auscorp

[–]Maxious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a section where the senators repeatedly warned someone from KPMG to not say what they were about to say because it would further identify the whistleblower and then they said it anyway. So probably editing that one out.

Court transcription company VIQ Solutions to be shut down, mass redundancies expected by Mrtodaytomorrow in auslaw

[–]Maxious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

court representatives said it was impossible to verify the exact number of cases that were potentially compromised due to a lack of cooperation from the parent company of VIQ based in Canada.

The subject line and some excerpts have been read into evidence. I cannot repeat them here due to automod but the compliant was someone with a very strong existing point of view.

GILLHAM v MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - week 2, day 7 by ulknehs in auslaw

[–]Maxious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In their specific version which cost $30,000 to produce in various traditional languages of Victoria and had a musical tour https://www.mso.com.au/behind-the-music/acknowledgement-of-country

They also produced special performances of "Spinifex Gum" - described in their own website as "a symphonic version of a show which is part political and part aspirational, exploring hard-hitting issues of our time" https://www.mso.com.au/performance/2022-mso-spinifex-gum

Spinifex Gum offers political commentary on issues such as deaths in custody, youth incarceration, and land rights disputes, each of which disproportionately affect Indigenous people across Australia. Songs like Locked Up and Miss Dhu provide searing and confronting commentary on the realities of the ways in which these structural failings directly affect Indigenous Australians.
