   Yikes, giving Google the power to block any website to the majority of humankind may not be the best idea.

   I agree. I just wish Apple was a bit more open

   Most of their Linux drivers are contributed by the chipmakers themselves

   But Intel and many chipmakers contribute to the Linux kernel

   The Lenovo Yogas and LG Grams are my favorite in the MacBook class. But if you want more upgradability I recommend the classical Framework 13 and HP elitebooks

   Interesting thank you! Also the primary/secondary core of the M1 is pretty clever. Intel 13th gen uses a similar strategy now, but not AMD yet, which is surprising considering their chiplet approach.

   Genuine question, why do you think Apple doesn't publish docs about the M1 architecture? They know the Asahi team will crack it anyway, but what's preventing them from opening the platform to make it even more popular?

   I understand the early hacker mindset came from an era where we wanted to unlock hardware. But in 2023, good unlocked hardware exists and needs more love

    Good point! Here are some numbers at peak load, check Cinebench R15 multicore wattage and score : https://www.notebookcheck.net/M1-vs-R7-5800U_12937_12976.247...

    I agree it misses context. We should compare peak load and peak TDP. Check the Cinebench R15 multicore here, Zen3 wins on perf/watt again https://www.notebookcheck.net/M1-vs-R7-5800U_12937_12976.247...

    You mean the standard TDP is made up ?
13. 313.▲
    by arnaudsm 4y ago

    Yes Apple shines especially on idle TDP, their battery life is impressive. Do you have benchmarks of Intel 11 gen beating Zen 3 ?

    But Intel actively contributes to the Linux kernel

    Good question, some CPUs have better perf/watt and are cheaper, notably Ryzen 5800U from the same year : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/power_performance.html

    If US regulators were reluctant to split FAANG because of chinese competition, this may be the signal that accelerates the effort.

    I may be anti-Apple, I am excited for this release. All the XR headsets I've owned had terrible UX and no product vision whatsoever. Just "make a bad videogame and users will find something to do with it". The Quest pro has h

    Weights can be retrained but cannot be explained. Recent papers even demonstrated backdoors : https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07840 Therefore a real open source model needs a public dataset and training code.

    Indeed, the symbolic vs connectionist battle is still going. GPT plugins like Wolfram alpha seem like a step in the right direction. For reliability I would prefer the symbolic system to be in charge of the transformer. Like the left and ri

    Since word heuristics and pagerank are useless nowadays, which signals should Google prioritize instead? Bounce rate ? Engagement ? Which metrics can proxy user satisfaction without turning into clickbait-land?

    There is a big bias that older founders are more pro-RTO and have more network and experience. Also 37 samples from a single fund is not enough. That's Statistics 101 : decent p-values and control your variables before making bold stat

    Alternate monetization strategies are: selling the page when it's big enough, paid posts, posting your own merch. There is a big unbalance, small creators have zero protection, while large right holders can steal your revenue with zero

    I wonder what happened at Google. They basically invented Transformers, and had useful LLMs for a while. Bert, Lambda, Palm, Sparrow were all cutting edge. Why didn't they ship something like ChatGPT earlier? Lack of product vision? P

    I personally do it too, but the longevity of Apple's refurbishing program proves there's a market for it

    Depends how much you value your time. Creating the listing, negotiating and shipping isn't trivial. That's why refurbishing programs are still a thing.
