DDR5 is DUV not EUV

the civil war was only ever and exclusively about states rights

Dario Amodei in David Attenborough voice: "This Claude appears to think more frequently and more deeply to give better responses"

I guarantee the "median" payout is nowhere near that. The article said the average pay is 158 million won. I bet the median pay is less than half that.

I personally use my OpenAI subscription pretty heavily, 2-3 agents running practically all day on various tasks but I never even get close to running into limits

Same. But if I was working for an organization that measured token usage, you can bet I would be doing things like creating a cron job that uses claude to create a customized bespoke report update of the current status of all my open assigned tickets and message that to myself 4 times a day... token burn for zero purpose whatsoever.

seL4 + linux kernel api shims does seem like the most realistic approach to move forward. But the driver + driver API situation seems like the biggest barrier.

A compounding problem is that lots of the key drivers depend on binary blobs provided by the vendors, making updating and porting that much harder. I know there has been some work to have translation layers between "linux driver api surface" --> "other OSs" but that feels problematic to trust & maintain unless it's driven from the linux kernel team itself.

I missed what the reason given for moving from zig to rust was. Considering 9 days ago it was "This whole thread is an overreaction."

Is it really just that Anthropic now owns bun and zig is "anti-LLM" for contributions? Was there more justification given elsewhere?

The PR says it was from Jarred, and then he flags his own PR as slop...

100% agree on this. Even just the flashing on nav menus. Very very common to load an app I'm already signed in to, see the "login / signup" state first, then a loading indicator or skeleton, then the logged in state. Just seems like amateur hour all over the place of people or companies not caring.

You can buy them frozen, directly from the baking counter, in 144 count boxes... Just saying...

The ram is "unified" meaning it's a single shared between CPU and GPU, and it's "on package", meaning the RAM chips are packaged together with the CPU / GPU die, but it's just regular old RAM chips.

You can clearly see this in the shot of the Mini mobo: CPU/GPU ASIC with 2 separate ram chips packaged next to them: https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mac-mini...

We're all living in a William Gibson novel now...

I too feel this is a huge part of it, coupled with the fact that "basics" of last generation (a home you own, a stable job that doesn't overwork you on evenings and weekends, affordable options to have a family) are also being priced out of many peoples lives. You feel like you're not matching what your parents and cultural artifacts tell you you should be achieving at your age, and at the same time you're flooded with influencers on ski trips to Japan or snorkelling in Jamaica every other weekend, and it's a perfect recipe for feeling bad about your life no matter how well off you're doing compared to yesterdays median statistic.

It's hard to get a comparable read since you don't get a clean split in the #s between what would be public spending vs. private spending if the US + a "Medicare for All" type system, but including the % of GDP spent in US on healthcare overall, it would put government expenditures as % of GDP on par with most other countries in the world that do provide universal health care:

France certainly has a higher % of expenditure to GDP than other comparable countries, and you would expect the USA health care to GDP % to decline to be more inline with other countries with universal coverage if a national program was introduced.

However, because France is still offering more public social services and benefits overall vs. a "USA + universal health" that it's hard to make broad claims either way about who is wasting more money or which system is more effective for citizens based purely on % of government expenditure to total GDP.

What does your setup look like? What kinds of workloads are you using it for?

Underrated acquisition. Gives NVIDIA a whole lineup of inference-focused hardware that iirc can retrofit into existing air cooled data centres without needing cooling upgrades. Great hedge against the lower-end $$$-per-watt and watt-per-token competition that has been focused purely at inference.

DTM is my new preferred power generation measurement unit :D thank you!

Also AWS Graviton and Google Axion servers & VMs on those clouds

"decade" being the universal time frame for "I don't know" :D

"because of the monolithic nature of ZFS that created problems with the Redox microkernel design"

Anyone have an idea what this actually means and what problems they were having in practice?

"Half of all developers have below-average diligence" - a lot of this is also not developer choice, but environmental. So much software is developed and maintained in very constrained economic environments, often by solo devs who also have other responsibilities. The choice here often is trading some "diligence" for "meeting business requirements in the time / budget constraints" imposed by your employer.

The company behind it got bought by Oracle, so all the public stuff was archived. Not sure if there is still any community around it after that.

I structure all my personal relationships around B2B SaaS contracts. Mom isn't happy when I make changes to the ToS but I've got pretty hard vendor lock-in and a defensible moat there, so I mostly don't worry about the reputational damage.

Wild life path really. Started as a socialist and syndicalist, and then stuff happened (waving hands) and he joined the Mussolini fascists and died before he could see what fascism would do to Europe. Looks like he got more involved with eugenics and elite theory and blue pilled himself to accept fascism as the solution to the problems with democracy and socialism he focused on earlier in his life.

Repo says it uses Hypervisor.framework on Apple Silicon devices.

It's mandatory if you allow or use other 3rd party auth (ie. Facebook or Google).

This is related to the evaporation of "free time", socializing irl, and hobbies that I've observed vs. my pre-cellphone/pre-internet youth & young adulthood. Not having social media, work emails & slack, and all the group chats enforced periods of quietness, boredom, and being alone. You went out and socialized and did things in public more often just because you were bored and you couldn't just doomscroll and share memes with the group chat. The overall increase in baseline cognitive social load that is entirely digital and interruptive (notifications!!!) instead of planned irl activities just seems to add to general stress levels and decrease baseline mental wellness.

This has been pretty clear about all Apple chip designs, going back to some of the first A series afaik. They are "unified memory" but not "memory on die", they've always been "memory on package"-- ie. the ram is packaged together with the CPU, often under a single heat spreader, but they are separate components.

Apple's own product shots have shown this. Here's a bunch of links that clearly show the memory as separate. Lots of these modules you can make out the serial or model numbers and look up the manufacturer of them from directly :)
