So I decided to make a game out of this. Welcome to "Bottles or Cans" where you can read a review and guess if its for a bottle of wine or for a pair of headphones (aka cans).

Standardizing high-performance inference requires deep ecosystem collaboration. 🚀

Huge shoutout to @vllm_project and @IBMResearch on the new KV Offloading Connector. We’re seeing up to 9x throughput gains on H100s and massive TTFT reductions. 🧵

AI inference is like a busy airport: without a controller, you get gridlock. ✈️

Check out this breakdown by Cedric Clyburn from Red Hat on how llm-d intelligently routes distributed LLM requests.

🔹 Solves "round robin" congestion
🔹 Disaggregates P/D to save costs

Honestly, if you want a project you could buy a Gaggia Classic Pro for $499 (or a used one cheaper) and go the gaggiuino route.

Yea - they are shockingly close to ones I've seen in the past. Maybe if i get some time in the future and go and find some live ones. One I remember used the word "crunchy" to describe the headphones and i was reminded of a wine review for "chewy tannins". Hilarious

Well... that's the joke! They are all written to be basically as generic as possible so that they could equally apply to either wine or headphones. I seeded the vote counts out of the gate so that you wouldn't have like 1 or 2 votes swing the graph too much, but here's an example post-vote.

So a long time ago when buying new headphones and reading reviews, I noticed how the reviews often sounded similar to reviews for a bottle of wine. Like:

"Rich and full-bodied with excellent depth. The bass notes are particularly impressive, with a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly."

not that i'm sure you need ANOTHER one to look at, BUT i'm a big fan of the recteq smokers too. I agree to pass on the Traegers, i've seen too many literally go up in flames.

This is probably the most requested pronunciation video i've gotten.

How do you say: "fsck" - a.k.a - File System Check.

There is no agreed upon pronunciation of this one!
