In-reply-to » Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections.

What’s the relation between the brains of mice, and the human brain? I am kind of lost trying to make the connection.

I also read that it isn’t 5 watts, but more like 10-20 watts. Still a super tiny consumption, comparing to what it takes to run anything AI.

[$] Managing multiple sources of page-hotness data
Knowing how frequently accessed a page of memory is (its “hotness”) is a
key input to many memory-management heuristics. Jonathan Cameron, in a
memory-management track at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, pointed out that the number of sources
of that kind of data is growing over time. He wanted to explore the
questions of what commonality exists between data from those sources, and
whether it makes sense to aggregate them all somehow. ⌘ Read more

[$] Inlining kfuncs into BPF programs
Eduard Zingerman presented a daring proposal that “makes sense if you think
about it a bit” at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He wants to inline
performance-sensitive kernel functions
into the BPF programs that call them. His
prototype does not yet address all of the design problems inherent in that idea,
