The Scientific Benefits of Intermittent Fasting

How fasting can improve overall health

Researchers found evidence that fasting affects circadian clocks in the liver and skeletal muscle, causing them to rewire their metabolism, which can ultimately lead to improved health and protection against aging-associated diseases.

Hyperfast AI: Rethinking Design for 1000 tokens/s

I recently spoke at AI Tinkerers Raleigh about hyperfast inference systems and how they’re fundamentally changing AI application design. If you haven’t heard of Cerebras (or however they pronounce it), you’re in for a treat—this is one of the most exciting areas of research in AI right now.

Speeding Up RSS | TechCrunch

I'm sorry, but RSS feeds are way too slow. I know this first-hand. As part of my job here at TechCrunch, I monitor a lot of RSS feeds for breaking news. We also produce our own feed and I can see how quickly it propagates to various feed readers and feed-powered news aggregation services. The lag time between posting a story and seeing it pop up in the RSS feed is usually a few minutes, and then it can take another 10 to 15 minutes or so for it to appear in something like Google Reader. And the TechCrunch feed is probably checked more frequently for updates than most other feeds. In our business, every second counts and RSS just isn't cutting it. While there is an argument to be made that RSS is dying, being replaced by more instantaneous forms of content delivery such as Twitter and other real time streams, many people aren't quite yet ready to give up on it. Instead, they want to save it by speeding it up. Tomorrow, at our Real Time Stream CrunchUp, we will see three demos of projects that do just that in slightly different ways.
