> I think it depends more on what Nintendo is willing to pay, I doubt they really want a "high-end" chip. In this thread, we were talking about what Sony and Microsoft would want for successors to the PS5 and XSX, not Nintendo.

The only reason I can see that it would matter that the Switch is a low-end console is if you think Nvidia is incapable of building something higher end. Are you saying that Nvidia couldn't make more powerful hardware for a high end co

> IMHO PC gaming and Nintendo have relatively little overlap (e.g. compared to PS and Xbox at least). That was true back in the Wii era, because there was nothing remarkable about the Wii apart from its input method. It was "just an

We already have a good sense of what SoC Nintendo will likely be going with for the Switch 2. Being so dismissive of the Switch shows the disconnect between what most gamers care about, and what some tech enthusiasts think gamers care abo

I think changing from AMD GPUs to Nvidia GPUs by itself has a good chance of breaking backwards compatibility with how low level and custom Sony's GPU API apparently is, so the CPU core architecture would just be a secondary concern. I

Well, Nvidia has powered a much more popular console... the Nintendo Switch, and Nvidia looks set to power the Switch 2 when it launches next year. So, AMD is clearly not the only choice.

The link also breaks if the original user deletes the chat that was being linked to, whether on purpose or without realizing it would also break the link.

In my experience, iOS 18 makes it better, but no, it is still not as good as Whisper Large, which is what OpenAI uses behind the scenes. You can run smaller Whisper models on your phone through various third party apps, and those options wo

I know very little about PTAs, but... why would a PTA need to share passwords anyways, instead of having separate logins?

It’s weird how non-specific the CPU is there. Why wouldn’t they list a CPU part number? We don’t even know what generation of Epyc it is. (I get that it’s not the focus… but it is still important.)

Llama3.1-405B benchmarks at a level that I would certainly consider comparable to other SOTA models, as long as multimodality isn’t needed. Regardless, OpenAI provides access to quite a few of their older models through the API, since the A

The Google Authenticator app (just as a mainstream example) was released 14 years ago. When we're still waiting for a lot of banks to even support TOTP, consider me unimpressed with the level of effort banks are putting into securing

Nothing? AdGuard offers a “cookie notices” filter, which is presumably designed to remove cookie banners. I haven’t tried turning it on.

AdGuard has worked well enough on Safari on iOS for years now.

It just means that the die already had to be large enough to physically fit the number of pin pads that they wanted to have. It doesn’t really say anything about the RISC-V cores. They could be big or small. But these do seem to be almost a

I highly doubt it. I agree it would be cool if it were true.

Yep, I edited a few minutes ago to mention a reference I found in the datasheet. It's cool, but the reality seems a little more nuanced than that quote would indicate, since that only appears to work for GPIO-only pins, not just pins b

PIO is not the same as GPIO: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/what-is-pio/ The PIOs are state machines that let you develop custom peripherals that run asynchronously, not taking up CPU time. You could probably bi

I'm having trouble seeing where the datasheet actually says the GPIO pins are 5V tolerant. EDIT: okay, section 14.8.2.1 mentions two types of digital pins: "Standard Digital" and "Fault Tolerant Digital", and the FT

Sounds like it is an approximately 9.5-bit ADC now, instead of 9-bit like the RP2040 was. So... not much change. Datasheet section 12.4.1 "Changes from RP2040" - Removed spikes in differential nonlinearity at codes 0x200, 0x600, 0

All of the public mentions of this feature that I've seen indicated it is an either/or scenario, except the datasheet confirms what you're saying: > The ARCHSEL register has one bit for each processor socket, so it is poss

Coordinating access to the memory bus and peripherals is probably not easy to do when the cores weren’t ever designed to work together. Doing so could require a power/performance penalty at all times, even though most users are unlikel
