Apple's best [integrated] GPU is close to a mid-range previous gen [discrete] nvidia GPU [consuming 10x the power]? -fixed that for you

would it be more in the vein of open source/DIY linux where it comes with minimal fonts and you install the ones you buy from say Hoeffler & co etc?

At some point, I feel as if it may be easier just to rewrite the code from the ground up vs. going through all that computational archaeology.... Or in a few years, just have an AI write the code...

Granted, I'm looking at these salaries, from over in the healthcare sectors where CEOs and executives (whose value many of us find questionable) make $5 mil salaries, even for being CEO of a "nonprofit hospital/foundation&quo

it's funny in that a few years ago we were (and still are) excited by the potential cellular protective properties of GLP1 agonists, not just in the pancreas but in brain glial cells or whatnot. So much so that it seems to be the most

From what I can see of where his interests are, and his attention span...does he really WANT to deal with reliability/uptime/systems engineering? Seems like a poor fit (AFAIK, the businesses that do well have Gwynne Shotwells at

Is there a sweet spot between parts commonality/compatibility and proper reliability engineering? I get the feeling that cars before the 90s had parts commonality but reliability was more of an afterthought.

This brings to mind the CANBUS hack article on HN a few weeks ago...horrifying but fascinating to think you can steal a car by attacking it's IoT headlight..

LA...albeit housing is still expensive. The other thing is...SF downtown at least in real estate is having a downturn, but I have to imagine, the region in and of itself isn't doing too badly.

This reminds me of this Russian patient back in school..."you know, back in Russia, you'd be lucky to get a doctor, the nurse would usually take out your appendix". Never was sure she wasn't pulling my leg...

not having a PHD in ML, it's hard for me to evaluate his claims, but how valid are all the obscure papers that he brings up? Did someone actually invent backprop in 1930 in some random corner of the former Soviet Union? Or is it a ca

So this is my latest question: the new BIOS limits SOC voltate at 1.3V, but the whole point of this "DDR5-6000 sweet spot" claim is the ability to run at 1:1 with the memory controller/memory frequency, i.e. 3000 mHz (from DD

Agree...I have 2 thoughts re lab meat 1) If you're going through so much time and expense to simulate meat, why not just change your diet to something more akin to "primary sources" - i.e. vegetables, or other food that is be

I would say defaults matter, and say a lot about priorities. I don't want to be judgmental about their funding model, but to have all of that turned on, after a fresh install, and in your face, by default...

I use both. Brave is better for the "chromium only" wonky websites/webapps. But the whole altruistic privacy thing is kind of undercut, at least optics-wise, by all the crypto/gamification upsell present by default. N

I think reading the Information article, there were 2 issues, which it wasn't good at separating. The AI model sophistication and usage are one - and yeah, I think they could be more creative in using LLMs and such. But the other one

What I'm not sure of is DDR5 - it had seemed DDR5 offered more flexibility in voltage/speeds, i.e. the "stock" ddr5 speeds at 1.2V seemed conservative compared to 1.35 or 1.5V for DDR3 or DDR4. But if going about 1.2V

what if they made fedeverse protocols a standard, i.e. via NIST, ethernet, TCP/IP? or even like TSMC chip design tools/protocols?

My experience as well, really no issues, albeit I recall John Siracusa mentioning that the last couple of OS X releases have been rolling out a new driver model where they are no longer kernel modules or something, and some growing pains we

This is why I'm of a mind that decoupling/sanctions are really not the way to go. I'd say open source/open academic development benefitted both US/China more than decoupling benefits either. Yes, I know there was

granted, there is this "us vs them" mentality, but prior to the whole Xi/nationalist thing, weren't a lot of chip engineers going back and forth, employment-wise, between TSMC, SMIC, and other mainland companies?

I wonder if this sort of thing will become trivial w/ generative models like gans/llms and such. To paraphrase Arnold...If you can parameterize (facial expressions - already not too hard w/ motion capture software), you can

Might be a basic question from a STEM nerd with not a lot of finance background, but what are "insured" millions held in? Special class of corporate accounts?
