Also 20W is fairly low for idle draw right? Like I think you can get proper machines down that low if you know what to look for but most stuff bigger than a mini PC is gonna be drawing 40+? I might be slightly miscalibrated though. Anyway i

I did this recently as I was struggling to get WoL to work with my consumer PC. It seems like this ultra low-level stuff is a total crapshoot so if you can dodge it by just wiring up the power button, that's a good option. In in the en

In general I don't think the marginal benefit of removing support for a certain piece of hardware would be significant in most cases. Most of the kernel is generic across a broad enough spectrum that removing one slice of that spectrum

Maybe if you specifically care about "the first people in North America". But even if that was really 20kYA+ (wild that this is a serious possibility now!) there's still a vast gulf of more recent prehistory that we know so l

Huh, you are right. I googled it yesterday too but I guess I had confirmation bias and happened to stumble across an old price and go "yep still 4k". Well, I'm glad to be wrong on his!

Note you cannot actually get a 5090 for $1999 that's just the RRP. I believe they actually cost $4k

This one is pretty annoying coz even if you support the idea of "kilowatt hours", it's common to discuss power station capacity in terms of Watts (plus for journalists the obligatory "this is enough to power N homes &#x2

My instinct here is just to wave it away saying "I bet the temperature of the system falls when you do this, and you need a minimum temperature for it to work over a given salinity gradient". Is it not that simple?

Yes, I have considered the disposal costs of wastewater! Yes, I still think importing hundreds of stainless steel widgets from China and then having a plumber spend who knows how many hours installing them is almost certainly a net negative

Well, that goes to the heart of my point. I take pictures because I value how literal they are. I enjoy the fact that they directly capture the arrangement of light in the moment I took them. That So yeah, if I'm gonna then upscale the

It's nothing like either of those things because both of those things have harms to other people and those harms scale linearly with the amount of consumption. Wasting steak isn't problematic because you run out of cows it's

I don't really understand the point of this usecase. Like, can't you also imagine what the photos might look like without the damage? Same with AI upscaling in phone cameras... if I want a hypothetical idea of what something in th

Even without AI the whole water conservation topic is kinda silly. The margin at which it makes sense to save water varies wildly by location, but the cultural dominance of the western USA infiltrates everything. Here in Zürich, my office b

I recently discovered Pixel 7 (maybe older too, I dunno) is actually Qi compatible it just doesn't have the magnets to lock in place. But if you have a case with those magnets in, it works great. And it turns out QuadLok cases (which I

Speculation: I guess the idea is they build an enormous inventory of tool-use capabilities, then this model mostly serves to translate between language and Android's internal equivalent of MCP.

> I believe the Mill hardware design would be immune by design because the hardware is in-order Well yes you can dodge this problem by not having a branch predictor but note the way I formulated my claim ;)

We don't actually know how to build the CPU that would replace your vulnerable one. New CPUs are largely immune to the specific attacks that were published before they were designed. But we aren't gonna get a fast CPU without side

The next steps should make this much faster. Google's internal version generally gives us a sub-1% hit on everything we measure. If the community is up for merging this (which is a genuine question - the complexity hit is significant)

These numbers are all Vs a completely unmitigated system. AND, this is an extra-expensive version of ASI that does more work than really needed on this HW, to ensure we can measure the impact of the recent changes. (Details of this are in t

by bjackman 1y ago
Yes! The numbers in the posting don't account for this. Before doing this though, you need to be sure that ASI actually protects all the memory you care about. The version that currently exists protects all user memory but if the kerne

Personally I could trivially afford to pay triple for all the media I consume but I still mostly pirate it. In Switzerland the media companies just make it so hard, and piracy is so easy. And I'm just not willing to jump through hoops

With normal watches, the straps are usually on a standard attachment, they only differ in one dimension (the width of the strap in the axis parallel to your arm) so you just need to find a strap that fits that dimension. Unclear if Pebble 2

Yes I experience this regularly with Hochdeutsch and I stand by my point. You still don't speak the language exactly as specified and it's still nonsensical to "correct" someone's grammar/pronunciation if you u

Yep "correctness" only exists contextually. A language teacher can say "no that's wrong" with the implied meaning of "that doesnt follow the patterns of the dialect I'm teaching you". Ditto for newspa

If it works by constricting the pupil I guess it's more like it's expanding the "depth of field". So you can't "over-correct" except in the sense that you will eventually run out of light. I don't rea

There's also a horseshoe effect here. At the other end are people who advocate for fat acceptance and see the GLP-1 drugs as another source of pressure to be thin. (Not everyone can take semaglutide etc without unpleasant side effects)

I visited India about 10 years ago and I often saw hand-painted advert murals for global products like Coca-Cola. I thought this was a really cool thing to see! It's nice to hear these things are still visible. I wonder if anyone is st
