狠人！！2011年，一位海外老哥，用他那套价值700美元的电脑作为矿机，最开始每天能挖出1枚比特币。 直到报废，他的电脑挖出了792枚BTC，至今他仍然没有出售。 不光有眼光，还得有格局。 ——简称：长期价值投资

Solo dev reverse-engineered Google's billion-dollar algorithm in 7 days Google published the paper that crashed memory stocks worldwide. Then shipped zero code. Tom Turney read the math, opened his terminal, and built the whole thing with Claude - then made it faster than Google promised. Day 1-3: Core algorithms, 141 tests, Python prototype Day 3-5: C port into llama.cpp, Metal GPU kernels Day 5-7: Speed optimization from 739 to 2747 tok/s That's a 3.7x speedup through pure engineering: > fp32 → fp16 WHT > half4 vectorized butterfly ops > graph-side rotation > block-32 storage layout Then he added his own research on top: > Sparse V: skip 90% of value decompressions at long context > Asymmetric K/V: keep keys precise, compress values harder > Temporal decay: old tokens get lower precision automatically Result: 35B model running on a MacBook with 4.6x compressed cache. 613 GitHub stars in a week. Google still hasn't released their own code.
