Introducing FlashPack: Lightning-Fast Model Loading for PyTorch
The FlashPack package dramatically speeds up PyTorch model loading by flattening all weights into a single contiguous stream, memory-mapping the file, and overlapping disk, CPU, and GPU operations with CUDA streams. This approach yields 3-6× faster loading compared to traditional methods like load_state_dict(), reducing GPU idle time and improving overall performance, especially on syste...

For the first time since the 1970s, the historic Al-Kamaliya School in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighborhood has welcomed students again, following cleaning and repairs carried out a few days after the ceasefire took effect. Thousands of students had spent the past months learning in tents or through small community initiatives before the reopening of the ancient school. The decision to restore and reopen Al-Kamaliya came after Israel’s deliberate destruction of most schools and universities in Gaza during two years of genocidal attacks, which left nearly the entire education system in ruins and forced Gazans to turn to historic and makeshift spaces for learning.

Things that make you cringe everytime you hear it.

"The Internet was designed to survive a nuclear war."
No, it absolutely was not. And even if it was, any hope of survivabiluty in the face of widespread destruction died with mass commercialization of the network.
Damn thing can't handle individual backhoes, what makes you think it will handle thermonuclear weapons?
Don't even get me started on our overreliance on just a few cloud providers.
