With that going on, it's hard to imagine there once was a time where the news paper publishers hat little to no signal on what actually sold news papers. Given that papers were only sold as a bundle of articles and most sold through su

We have a focus on more complex ICs as we see them most relevant for this task. In that area we have ~95% of all components that are active (not EOL & recommended for new designs). But we try to have a little bit of every category to ma

Having worked on libp2p‘s DHT (Double Hashing for rust-libp2p) for a bit two years ago, it’s really great to see that there are improvements. To get to CDN level speeds though on dense networks, I still see it as an architectural flaw to n

It says 8 Arm Neoverse N2 cores in the blog post. So not directly ARM Cortex, derived from ARM Cortex-X3 but same family as NVIDIA Grace, Google Axion and AWS Graviton4.

Not across all features, but certainly in specific ones. There are more advanced WiFi 6 chips, more advanced Bluetooth chips and faster MCUs. But they are all separate chips or companion ICs.

It has become limited. Some have WiFi, some have Bluetooth but rarely both. There is the SiWx917M ( https://www.silabs.com/wireless/wi-fi/siwx917-wireless-socs ) by SiliconLabs though. If we include western companie

There is an ESP-C5 ( https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-c5 ) that supports 2.4 and 5 GHz dual-band WiFi. And unlike the ESP32-S31 you can buy it today.

From the EXIF we can infer that every setting was left at the default. No exposure comp, no contrast, no HSL, no lens correction and a linear tone curve. Just the default Adobe Color profile at 5400K.

Looking at the EXIF (with exiftool) for the image uploaded by NASA ( https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/art002e00019... ), apparently this was taken by a Nikon D5 with an AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 14-2

That’s fair but when there is an async version of the driver or Hal available it should be pretty straightforward to port it to synchronous, right? Maybe Claude code can even do it with minimal supervision… Edit: Replace blocking with synch

I am a big fan of the embassy project and it’s a great example of why async Rust is so great: Because this is possible. It works without a heap, is a really low cost abstraction and you can do stuff concurrently on a single core chip (where

Maybe stuff has changed a lot in the last year but I didn’t experience that problem so far. For me it was the other way around mostly. Where did you encounter that?

Interesting thought but you would need a lot of these gasses on the one hand and on the other hand it doesn’t help in working against the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect depends on the absolute amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, no

Maybe they felt the increase in capability is not worth of a bigger version bump. Additionally pre-training isn't as important as it used to be. Most of the advances we see now probably come from the RL stage.

This course is actually mandatory in the first year of the CS undergraduate program here at ETH. I remember it very fondly for its great (and passionate) lecture and the hands on experience building a MIPS cpu in the exercise sessions. Prob

These seem like the first features that Rust in Linux bring to the Rust language that are not almost exclusively useful to the kernel. In my perception the focus on bringing features for the kernel has held up development in other parts of

It's great that they finally target all three mayor platforms! Let's see how developers using Windows treat them. I used to be a Neovim purist, spending days on my config and I have barely touched it since I moved to Zed. It'

That's sadly true, over in x86 land things don't look much better in my opinion. The corresponding accelerators on modern Intel and AMD CPUs (the "Copilot PCs") are very difficult to program as well. I would love to read

Edit: Foundation Models use the Neural Engine. They are referring to a Neural Engine compatible K/V cache in this announcement: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/introducing-apple...

You probably wouldn’t with a Pro but you might between an iPad Pro and an MacBook Air. With the foundation models API they basically said that there will be one size of model for the entire platform, making smarter models on a MacBook Pro u

Very cool! Since it’s possible to train foundation model adapters, is a library for user fine tunes possible?

by hannesfur 1y ago
That would be an interesting approach if true. I hope someone gets to the bottom of it once we have hardware in our hands.

Oh, I overlooked that! You are right. Surprising… since Apple has shown that it’s possible through CoreML ( https://github.com/apple/ml-ane-transformers ) I would hope that the Foundation Models ( https://deve

Thats true! I was referring to their wider line up, especially the iPad, where users will expect the same performance as on the Mac’s (they payed for an Mx chip) and they sold me an iPad Air this year that comes with a really fast M3 and st

As pointed out in other places as well a better comparison will be the upcoming Pro & Max variants. Also, as far as I know, Strix Halo mainly uses the GPU for inference not the little AI accelerator AMD has put on there. That one is jus

I inferred that they meant the neural engine cores by neural accelerators or it could be a bigger/different AMX (which really should become a standard btw)
