in zwei wochen soll endlich der austausch der seit über einem jahr defekten schiebetür zu unserer bibliothek im vom-stein-haus erfolgen. (es gibt dann eine "normale" tür.) (es grenzt an ein wunder – unterstützt durch unsere hausmeister und uni-techniker –, das die dafür nicht ausgelegte fluchttür so lange als notbehelfseingang durchgehalten hat.) 🚪📚🤞🤞

The NVidia black market documentary keeps on giving: #Repair shops in #China pimp GPUs to double the VRAM. With new PCBs. Repurposing silicon, that’s sustainable hacking.

Spotlight Attention: Towards Efficient LLM Generation via Non-linear Hashing-based KV Cache Retrieval
Reducing the key-value (KV) cache burden in Large Language Models (LLMs) significantly accelerates inference. Dynamically selecting critical KV caches during decoding helps maintain performance. Existing methods use random linear hashing to identify important tokens, but this approach is inefficient due to the orthogonal distribution of queries and keys within two narrow cones in LLMs. We introduce Spotlight Attention, a novel method that employs non-linear hashing functions to optimize the emb…

I finally wrote the post for our first day in #baiersbronn and #hiking in the #schwarzwald . I really needed some time to get into the mood of taking photos.
I guess I'll post the phot…

Day 1 in the Black Forest - Getting Into The Mood
Our first day in the Black Forest unfolded in serene beauty, unfolding a six-hour hike through sun-dappled ridges and mossy streams. Beginning with quiet observation to awaken the photographic eye, we captured unique perspectives of the forest’s textures and light.

Aus Gründen nochmals die Bitte, v.a. Skandal- & Empörungsmeldungen aus unbekannten Quellen nicht unhinterfragt weiterzuverbreiten; gerade wenn sie in euer Weltbild passen.
Jeder möchte gern in seiner Meinung bestätigt werden & recht gehabt haben. Das nutzt Desinformation gnadenlos aus. Was glaubt ihr, warum Schlagzeilen wie „Habeck nimmt unsere Heizungen weg!“ oder „EU verbietet Autos!“ so gut funktionieren?
Ist es zu viel verlangt, kurz innezuhalten & einen kritische…

I am no friend of Kemi Bad Enoch but I'm finding everyone taking the high horse about her hacking a website 17 years ago very tedious. It was 2009! Of course if your found an unsecured website you'd dick about with it! It sounds as serious as that guy who got into Jeremy Corbyn's Twitter account that time and posted "davey cameron is a pie".

Epic #semiconductors. I am part of a German-Taiwanese research collab: “Exploring Silicon Urbanism: Bilateral Workshops and Fieldtrips in Dresden and Hsinchu.” With trips to clean rooms and affected communities.
Photo-documentation upcoming! #sts
