The 1B parameter version of Llama 3.2 showed even slower results at 0.0093 tokens per second, based on the partial model run with data stored on disk.

I mean, cool? They got a C interface library to compile using an older C standard, and the 1B model predictably runs like trash. It will take hours to do anything meaningful at that rate.

Half the "problems" have been solved by retro hardware enthousiasts. Acting like it's a big deal you have to connect a mouse and keyboard to the ps/2 ports. Even back in the early 2000s this was solved with USB to ps2 dongles.

Those mostly don't work with modern keyboards, though. The protocol switch was built into the keyboard and the dongle is just passive. It's actually a bit hard to quickly find a ps/2 compatible keyboard these days.

In the 2020s we have new active USB to PS2 dongles like HIDman.

Today I learned. I never found the need to use usb over ps/2 since I use original keyboards for my old hardware

I would be so much more positive about this if you linked the actual source, not just an article that regurgitates everything word for word. Also, why is this article on 'indian defense review?' India and Pakistan nearly had a nuclear war this morning.
