James Young<p>Surely someone's looked into this: if I wanted to store millions or billions of files on a filesystem, I wouldn't store them in one single subdirectory / folder. I'd split them up into nested folders, so each folder held, say, 100 or 1000 or n files or folders. What's the optimum n for filesystems, for performance or space? <br>I've idly pondered how to experimentally gather some crude statistics, but it feels like I'm just forgetting to search some obvious keywords. <br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BillionFileFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BillionFileFS</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/filesystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filesystems</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/optimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>optimization</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/benchmarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>benchmarking</span></a></p>

beSpacific<p>Evaluating Generative AI for Legal Research: A Benchmarking Project It is difficult to test Large-Language Models (LLMs) without back-end access to run evaluations. So to test the abilities of these products, librarians can use prompt engineering to figure out how to get desired results (controlling statutes, key cases, drafts of a memo, etc.). Some models Rmore successful than others at achieving specific results. <a href="https://www.llrx.com/2024/05/evaluating-generative-ai-for-legal-research-a-benchmarking-project/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">llrx.com/2024/05/evaluating-ge</span><span class="invisible">nerative-ai-for-legal-research-a-benchmarking-project/</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/benchmarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>benchmarking</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/legalresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>legalresearch</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/PromptEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PromptEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/LLRX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLRX</span></a></p>

Harry Sintonen<p>When running computational benchmarks on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/applesilicon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>applesilicon</span></a> and other platforms it is only fair to run as optimal code as possible for all platforms in question. This is evident in the recent reporting where M3 Pro supposedly "beat" <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RTX4090" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RTX4090</span></a>. Newsflash: It did not. The original test ran suboptimal code on the RTX4090. With proper code the RTX4090 crushes Apple Silicon - including fastest M3 Max.
