All Sparks only have a memory bandwidth of 270 GB/s though (about the same as the Ryzen AI Max+ 395), while the 3090 has 930 GB/s. (Edit: GB of course, not MB, thanks buildbot)

What makes you think the Quest 3 is discontinued? The 3s was clearly communicated to be the cheaper alternative (and replaced the Quest 2 that was still sold in parallel with the 3), not a replacement for the 3.

On top of that it only works in the VIS range, thanks to the filters in front of the camera sensors - and most of the interesting information is in UV or IR. VIS only contains information about a few elements. (see Fraunhofer lines https:&

> I haven’t measured it but I read that I should expect it to lose 3-4% in suspend every hour. Is that a joke? That has to be a bug. I have a thinkpad with a Ryzen 7 6850U, running debian, and lose at most 3% per day .

West Virginia is a nice datapoint here: Almost completely white, but also poor. And one of the worst scores of all.

Why do you assume racial achievement gaps indicate problems with schools? GP didn't say that, but educators of course see schools as an important area to address the gap. The literature is pretty clear on this being a complex probl

Apple is the only company where I ever had to involve a lawyer to exercise my consumer rights (in Germany). They made notebooks with a design flaw that resulted in broken display cables from opening and closing the devices. My notebook br

To me it simply looks like Apple buys out the first year of every new TSMC node and that is the main reason why the M series is more efficient. Strix Halo (N4P) has, according to Wikipedia, a transistor density about 140 MTr/mm2, while

We don't have to rely on anecdotes, we have large amounts of empirical research. Just hop over to pubmed and search for yourself - the connection between psychedelics and psychosis is really weak, unless you have a known family history

There are many applications for peltier cooling in industrial settings, i.e. sensor devices (or, actually, microscopes with CMOS sensors). Those have to be temperature stabilized to minimize noise while also be IP rated, i.e. no air cooling
